Why did Hollywood have to ruin "reality tv". Why couldn't they let reality happen? Reality is always better than this made up crap.

This is just another show just like car masters. At least that show has a beautiful woman to draw men in. The cast of Tex Mex motors is pretty lame. I like the premise about getting cars out of Mexico, since like everything in America is overpriced, but that is about it.

For those of us who are old enough to remember when reality shows first hit the airways about 20 years ago, they were so much better.

I just don't understand why they can't make a show like Boyd Coddingtons American Hot Rod. Shows like American Chopper and in a lesser vein Counting Cars and Monster Garage. Instead they make this fake crap with their oversimplification of restoring a car. Just slap a new motor, some body work and paint, suspension with new wheels and tires and voila a week later a masterpiece. Everything fits together like legos. Sure, they add little issues just to make you believe that it's real. They just don't know their audience. I want all the nuts and bolts, the trials and tribulations, the personality conflicts, not this child like fantasy world with made up drama.

Another thing that pisses me off as a Texan is if they are really in El Paso why isn't heat a problem. The sweltering triple digit temperatures. How come none of them are sweaty? No fans in their shop. Are they working in a meat freezer. It is so hot and humid in summer and even spring that I can't lift a finger without breaking into a sweat. So much for reality.

I absolutely hated this movie. It was extremely boring and the style was just off. It jumps from scene to scene and just lacks any substance. It actually makes it very nauseating to watch. It's like they just weaved a bunch of movie trailers into a movie. I don't know how else to describe it.

I am a Tom Hanks fan, but did not care for his performance as the Colonel. . This film needed a classic American director to really bring some life and energy to this film. Austin Butler was okay, but really made Elvis appear too feminine. Just took the masculinity right out of him.

The modern day hip hop and rap music had no place in this film and pretty much sums up this movie. Anybody who actually liked this movie must be 30 years of age or younger and probably had no knowledge of Elvis prior to watching this lame attempt at telling Elvis's story.

Although I have watched all 4 seasons now and it is okay entertainment I am amazed how the show simplifies and unrealistically portrays or packages what is an extremely complex, difficult, physically demanding and time consuming job of making custom cars. It seems like the show is a copy of another show called counting cars, even down to the metal fabricated gate.

I get exhausted just thinking about all the work hours just 1 of those cars would require. Just the sanding the car prior to painting would require hundreds of hours for the level of perfection they are looking for. Yet we are supposed to believe that this crew of 4 is just churning out car after car like it's child's play and just chomping at the bit for the next project while never appearing tired or worn out from all the long hours they are supposedly working.

Then they never seem to run into any problems mechanical or conflict wise. Everything just seems to magically fit together and work well. Anyone who knows the slightest about car mechanics knows even simple things can be major headaches. The tuning of an engine alone in their custom builds could take days to work out all the kinks and would require a computer. I don't think I have ever seen any of them using one while tuning an engine. Just working with their little wrenches tightening a nut or bolt here or there. This show with everything I mentioned and being so drama and stress free is such a fantasy and childlike interpretation of the custom car building world that it is offensive and insulting to my intelligence as they are portraying this a real.

For a more realistic look at custom car business watch American Hot Rod which ran between 2004-2007 instead of this fake crap.

A self acknowledged movie buff who has literally seen thousands of movies in my lifetime, and partial to WW2 theme and era, due to my German heritage and my parents growing up in WW2 Germany.

I would say this belongs in my 20 all time favorite list. It is not for the faint of heart, as it holds no punches, but that's the way I like it. I am surprised I only recently discovered this gem, and then sat on it for months before watching it. I generally am not a fan of modern movies shot in black and white, but in this case feel that it only enhances the experience.

This game has the same overall gameplay as Far Cry 5 and the storylines and location backgrounds lifted from the Just Cause games. So if you have played the combination of those games, there is nothing new or innovative here to make you spend much of your precious gaming hours in this game for very long.

Now if you are like me and a member of Ubisoft +, then by all means check it out. Just would not recommend spending money buying this game.

I spent about 10 hours playing it before the newness wore off and the repetition set in. I am so glad I didn't actually buy it.

I think assassin's creed Valhalla is a step backwards compared to assassin's creed odyssey.

Nearly everything is a disappointment compared to Odyssey. The only thing I like better in Valhalla is the story and the character. I definitely prefer the gaming world of Odyssey over Valhalla.

It does introduce some new weapons, skills and abilities and such but I don't think it makes the game any better than odyssey. I also think the combat is not as good. I have a significantly harder time being able to block or parry in this game for some reason which sucks. Most of the gear also sucks initially and requires a lot of upgrades to make it decent. They introduced the ability to use two weapons at the same time which is a cool feature but once again doesn't significantly improve combat.

They introduced river raids which seems like an afterthought as it doesn't advance the storyline. In addition when you start a river raid for some reason you begin with only minimal health which makes no sense. And if you die during the raid you lose all the loot from the raid. After just a few times I gave up on the raids.

They did away with ship combat which was a nice feature of Odyssey. They also did away with bounty hunters which was a really cool feature of odyssey.

So you lose both of these things but only gain river raids which is no comparison in my opinion.

In essence I really prefer assassin's creed odyssey over assassin's creed Valhalla as I feel it does not offer any improvement whatsoever over odyssey. But obviously if you have already played Odyssey then it is worthwhile if you can get it for a cheap price.

I have to say that this is one of the worst movies I have seen in quite some time. Everything about it is just wrong. The acting in my opinion is just horrible from Clint, to Dwight Yoakam and even the actor that plays the teenager. The story is very boring as well. I gave it a chance and watched about 20 minutes of it and that was far too much and never got any better.

I think Clint needs to hang up the spurs now and retire gracefully. If it was not for the fact that he's a living legend this movie would get no attention.

The movie doesn't know if it wants to be a spy spoof or a serious spy story. It fails at both. It fails in the romance area too. The only good part was the topless beach scene.

I am a big fan of prank shows and enjoyed the first season of the show very much. Now for the second season I find the Pranks to be somewhat lame and not very original. A lot of resemblance to scare tactics TV show. The non-actor characters reactions to the pranks were not that impressive or fun to watch.

Too much cheerleading, over glorification, political correctness. The show tries to make all the contestants appear to be heroes and just goes over the top with all their Ra Ra. If they were just wipe off all their candy coating and just focus on the actual competition it would be so much better. They are just running an obstacle course for crying out loud not saving the freaking world.
