It's like a bad episode of the walking dead.
18 October 2020
It's such a boring movie it doesn't even warrant a long explanation of what's wrong. I slept through probably 65% of it, and it's too boring to go back and give it a fair shake.

Something about people touching gross gore piles (cause that is what people do right?) then instantly (cause that's how biology works right?) turning into zombie things, and then this big monster thing comes by to save the day or something, and a strong alpha male female lead bosses everyone around in situations where it doesn't even really make sense.

I don't know, I don't care. This film is tray-ash.

"look mom! I made a moofie!"

The dumbest part isn't how lame the monster looks at the end... It's the redhead girl having runway expensive styled hair throughout the whole movie despite the chaos that is going on. It reminds me of how CLEAN and millennial everyone suddenly looks in season 9 of the walking dead. I thought it was the apocalypse?

I want to go vomit. I'm angry. The cure? Good cinema... in 2020 the prognosis? not good.

Cosmos (I) (2019)
3/10
Don't trust all the high praise, it's not good.
18 October 2020
I just love how the computer puts up HUGE FONT for low battery at the end, and even a big dramatic number counting down, as if it is a bomb timer. You ever seen a computer do that? And what device knows (to the second) how much time a battery exactly has left anyways? You could argue they are using high tech science equipment, but yeah... I don't think so. I think they are using leftover garbage from other failed movie projects to try and make a film here. Whatever they were going for didn't happen, instead it's just grown men talking about their "feelings" for 2 hours.

"HAHA! We just discovered alien life! Yeah!!! cool... soo, about that job you were fired from... you must be kinda sad brah, let's talk and snuggle"

And the payoff at the end is these guys staring at a fake cgi light with nothing happening, kinda like the rest of the film. The overbearing music just makes the whole thing more comical to where you just want to tell the producers of this film to get over themselves, because they got NOTHING.

But I can still give 3 stars, cause it at least gave me some intrigue when I wasn't sleeping through it (the first half or so), and the actards at least were good... It's just good acting wasted on a terrible movie is all.

"you want us to make a movie about finding aliens, but spend almost all of our time having bro-mance problems? Ooooookay... when do I get paid?"

And the most unbelievable part of this film is the aliens coming in peace.... Nope... sorry... If I'm alien, and I see what humans have done with the ghostbusters franchise, there is NO WAI when I arrive that my response isn't just a big ole planet destroying death beam.

The Twilight Zone: Passage on the Lady Anne (1963)
Season 4, Episode 17
5/10
All that build up...
10 August 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The entire episode has me on the edge of my seat just dying to know what is going on exactly. It promises some great mystery will eventually be revealed, and it is mostly entertainingly if only for that promise and massive build up...

but then you get to the 40 minute mark, and realize it is running out of show, and if you see the mystery revealed, it will be a very short part.... but then it ends without ever really revealing the secret and you are left saying... WHAAA!?

I am glad the man stop being a jerk to his wife, but I can't help but feel bummed that there wasn't a fantastical finish to this one. What a tease!

The Twilight Zone: The Bard (1963)
Season 4, Episode 18
2/10
Definitly the worst overall twilight zone episode
10 August 2020
This episode was pretty bad and boring, along with obnoxious. The acting stunk and there is no good moral to the story. It's just stuff and things happening and who cares.

I get the sense everyone involved on this project just said "get a guy in shakespear costume and just do whatever, and we'll film it" It isn't believable that the annoying lead character keeps getting chances too. It's just weak storytelling throughout that doesn't really achieve much of anything believable really.

I am one of the few who seems to love the 1 hour format for season 4, but this was one of the few that needed to be shorter, but preferably, not made at all.

The Twilight Zone: The Long Morrow (1964)
Season 5, Episode 15
6/10
Could have been better

It's somewhat entertaining but it will make you angry.

If she knew she could freeze herself when he launches into space WHY didn't they just discuss doing that in the first place? I don't recall the episode explaining properly a good excuse for that so it didn't seem very reasonable.

I also doubt on a mission designed to keep him frozen for soo long would have packed enough food for that length of time. You could argue its a backup measure but... yeah...

Ultimately I just feel like they tried to force this plot in too much and it's kinda weak because of that if not annoying.

If the man REALLY loved that women at the start, he never woulda gone into space on the condition she ages 40 years but he doesn't. No amount of fame is worth it. So I also take issue with that part.

Common ROD you can write better then that! (or whoever wrote this one) =)

The Twilight Zone: The Encounter (1964)
Season 5, Episode 31
10/10
RAW AND REAL!
10 August 2020
Anything too real is rarely allowed on tv. Take this episode for example, one episode too real for anything... but the twilight zone.

It deals with real issues in a very real way and is nothing like 99% of episodes. Like a real adult wrote this instead of a child like most episodes (I like most episodes but yeah.. they are not realistic in writing or acting).

Racism is horrible and this episode shows many ways it can be used to hurt someone in speech. And the very real responses are fantastic. Both men did a great job acting in this one, a tale of tragic pasts and the struggle of living with them.

The craziest part is the very end lol. That was hilarious but also a stereotype. Like if there is only 1 part of the episode that is must see- that would be it.

The Twilight Zone: What's in the Box (1964)
Season 5, Episode 24

One of these days... POW! Right in the kisser!
10 August 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This episode was hilarious! It's practically an episode of wrestling between a miserable man and his wife. Can you even do this on TV today? The part where he hits is wife across the back with a chair was about the funniest thing I ever seen on tv. Of course real world domestic violence is awful, but this is just a tv show so it's fine. The episode is not condoning such behavior.

The writing is SOO REAL and RAW! Finally an episode that doesn't feel like a man child wrote it. It was a huge departure from most episodes. It took real guts to make this one and the 2 actors play their parts soo well you'd think it was real. The TV repair man was hilarious at the end too.

It was really sad that the man was finally sorry after seeing himself on tv enough, to see how horrible he had been to his wife, and so he says sorry and wants to start over with her. She mocks him for this. It's at this point I start to realize, I guess the wife is part of the problem too. So he sadly fulfills the vision he sees on tv and kills his wife. I like to think the TV was not magic, but he is suffering mental anguish as he is shocked to death on the electric chair, so his final moments and thoughts are the entire episode. A sort of flashback that he thinks is real. Not unlike another episode earlier in the year of a man being hanged on a bridge.

A greatly entertaining episode with a sad end. If only they had stuck with hour long episodes, this is one that definitely needed to be. It takes 2 to make a marriage work, but it still looks like the man did most of the evil here.
