Argylle (2024)
This was fantastic
I simply expected a contemporary version of Romancing the Stone. What was presented was so much more. The twists and turns were well done. At the same time, there was a lightness to it. I will definitely watch this movie multiple times and hope they do continue it.
The cat stole the show, even if it did look a little fake at times.
There was nothing introduced that wasn't ultimately used, as in all good writing. Honestly, most of what Hollywood has been regurgitating of late is junk. I am sick of superheroes and Marvel and DC need to just quietly fade into anonymity. We're all sick of badly done Disney live action. (Seriously, once you've seen one Lion King, you've seen them all and the original remains the best.) So this movie was a breath of fresh air. In fact, this is the first Hollywood movie of the year that I would actually endorce. All the other good movies have been on Netflix or other streaming originals.
What the Health (2017)
Some Things were Unrealistic
Seriously, I keep wondering how much was staged. You cannot tell me 2 women as sick as the ones shown were basically almost cured after 2 weeks on some plant based diet. Especially the woman who needs hip surgery. Maybe I'd believe it after a month or 2 but she suddenly could walk like she never had osteoarthritis.
There were a lot of good points. However, I just ended up not knowing who to believe and giving up on even trying. In the 80s, low fat/fat free diets were all the rage and then research showed such diets caused diabetes and other issues. Then high protein was in, then low carb... all have medical professionals who promote and naysay. Then there's the endless piles of the danger of sugar. This show made me realize that I can't trust anyone, including the producers of this documentary.
American Nightmare (2024)
A Wonderful Example for all those Blindly Believe the News
I remember the Gone Girl Kidnapping. Even then, it was clear the law enforcement and FBI never did there job. Something that is common when it comes to women and assult. (Anyone remember the entire warehouse filled with unprocess rape kits, I think it was in Detroit. Oh good lord went to verify the city and got a sadder shocker. If you Youtube warehouse rape kits you'll find other cities besides Detroit who did the same thing. There's a great documentary of the Detroit one. Many of those results were REPEAT offenders who, had they actually did the work and caught the guy, would not have raped the other women over the years.)
This documentary was well done. And another clear sign of why we need to hold Law enforcement accountable. They CHOSE to publicly claim Denise's kidnapping was a hoax. They could have simply said it was still under investigation. Instead, it was easier to throw the blame elsewhere.
That woman cop is my hero. She is what you expect an officer of the law to be. She went above and beyond to find the truth.
I am horrified how many sheep went after Denise and her then boyfriend on the internet. I hope they learned a valuable lesson on assumptions. Not everything the news says is truth. Not everything you read is true. We, as a society need to learn about seeking our own truth.
I am glad the couple survived hell together and have gone on to a better life. I hope they also got therapy, because you can see the pain is still fresh. I also hope Netflix paid them well for bringing this all up again. Especially as there will be idiots who only warch the 1st 2 parts and go back to blaming the couple. But I am Especially glad the truth was made more accessible. I had never heard they caught the true kidnapper. News outlets made more of the Hoax than they did of the truth. They should have had to release numerous retractions because I think most of us only ever knew of the Hoax.
I am also glad the previous assult victim had her say as well.
Bones (2005)
Fun show
Always enjoyed this show, but every time I watch them work on a juicy corpse sans mask or eye protection, I cringe. As an ER nurse, I've seen many exposures via body fluid spray, or needle pokes, etc. Also, how do all the people not smell the dead bodies befire they step on them or lean on them
Thankfully, they don't do a lot of actual medical episodes, because those are painful to watch as a medical personnel. Do these people not use healthcare staff to verify the terminology? They actually had "professionals" autopsy DEAD bodies treat their infected lab buddy (while again not wearing appropriate PPE, give medicine and a ridiculous amount of various anti-anxiety meds and then pour herbal fluids down an unconscious man's throat.
I don't remember Brennen being so narcissistic. I honestly cannot imagine why her friends and family are not more honest with her about her behavior. When I was younger, I thought their relationship was so romantic. Now, not so much. Still, I enjoy this show.
Bad President (2021)
Now it all Makes sense!
This is really a 6/10 movie, but I figured all Trump's cult followers would super under-rate this comedy. For those of us who haven't drank the cool-aid, this was a breath of freah air a nd truly did help make more sense of the pure idiocy of the Trump. Thinking Trump sold his soul to the devil is the only thing that continues to make any sense how this pos always floats to the top.
Eddie Griffith was excellent as the devil, his acting was superb. The guy who played Trump also hit it spot on. For a comedy spoof, it had decent acting, Would love to see a version of this explaining the crazy going on with the coming election.
Elvis (2022)
Austin Butler seriously channeled Elvis
Austin Butler's performance was the only reason I finished this movie. He was so convincing that I couldn't tell if the final scene Elvis was him or the real deal.
This movie should have been a 10 out of 10 film, but the jerky camera and weird rap remixes and quick flashes back and forth made it very hard to stick with this disjointed film. It got better when it didn't keep jumping back to Col. P in a hospital gown. Wish they had stuck with just doing those bits as a voice over. But Austin, dang, makes me want to go out and rewatch all my mom's favorite Elvis movies.
The ending was so sad and a vivid reminder of how many artists are stuck in these abusive financial contracts.
Asteroid (2021)
Who is rating this disaster anything above a 1
Why name a movie ASTROID if you aren't planning to have one be the main characterof the film? Also, is this supposed to be a comedy - a very poorly written, agonizingly bad one? There was not a single bit of real responses in this film. Who STAYS local when their life may be at stake. Pack your bags and run... get out of the state. Honestly, why didn't everyone get out instead if go to some deep cave .... with NO SUPPLIES? I watched hoping it would be the usual campy apocalypse scenario. Instead, everyone is taking long moments for heart to hearts and random extended totally unnecessary discussions.
Superintelligence (2020)
How did I miss this in 2020?!?! FUN MOVIE
This is a Rom-com. Not an award winning work of art, but a sit down, have fun, not super serious movie. I am surprised by how low it is rated. Obviously, it's not a 10/10, but definitely better than 5.4. The acting is superb, Melissa is gorgeous and fun to watch and the ultimate message that those in power really need to have input from those who are more sensitive instead of the political parties who honestly can't see beyond their own importance. Seriously, if those of us with hearts were also a part of the decision making, the world would be a better place.
Overall, I really enjoyed this movie and would definitely watch it again.
Moonfall (2022)
How was this released as a major motion picture
This is a solid B movie. It is hard tp believe anyone read this and spent millions to make a blockbuster picture. The dialogue is absolutely ridiculous, the timing is literally unreal. Oh no, we are in a time crunch but let's spend 5 - 10 minutes in a discussion. Let's completely forget the absolute lack of understandong the writers and producers had of physics, science or any understanding of human nature. On the plus side, it was still a better movie than The Batman.
The Batman (2022)
How is this rated so Highly?
I walked out. I went to see it with my husband and had low expectations and yet, they managed to still disappoint me. After an hour and a half, I couldn't bear anymore and left my husband at the theater and went grocery shopping. My husband texted me half an hour later to pick him up, with plans to maybe finish the movie when it's on blue ray.
Batman is so depressed, it makes you wonder why he doesn't quit his job. I love Patterson and this movie makes his Twilight acting seem good. 😬. It doesn't showcase his abilities. In truth, there were no characters I could like or root for. No reason to invest any time in seeing what happens next.
I honestly cannot understand how this is getting an IMDB rating of 8.3. The reviews I've read have mostly been negative. It is an Emo batman in a dark Gotham, as many have pointed out. I would honestly rather watch Superman vs Batman or Moonfall again than this.
If it wasn't rated so high, I would have given it a 3/10.
Tin Man (2007)
WOULD have been my favorite show but for Zoey
This 3 part movie was the first time I saw Zoey D in action and I was less than impressed. Honesrly, it is a wonder she ever aquired the fame she did. Watching it again and her performance remains as bad as I remember. Fortunately, everyone else's makes up for her lackluster and sometimes oddly spoken dialogue.
The story of love and redemption is beautiful. It is a great take on a well-loved story. And keeps you engrosswd from the beginning to end.
Riftworld Chronicles (2015)
This Unfinished Gem was born too early
My husband and I recently watched this show, just to kill time .... and we were hooked. I am sad they didn't complete the series. I hope someone picks it up now that streaming is popular and 5 - 10 minutr mini-series is more often seen. This show was well-writren and witty. Each episode made you eager for the next and is better than the regular boring, endlessly dragged out series that are popular today.
Ink Master (2012)
I Quit Watching this When I realized it was Rigged in Season 3
Seriously, the day Clint went home and Josh was saved yet AGAIN made me realize how rigged this show was. His whiny butt couldn't tattoo himself out of a plastic bag. No point watching the rest, bc I'd lose it if his smug face won. And LORD, the excuses EVERYONE had. As a performer who has done competitions, you thank the judges learn and move on. EVERYONE had an excuse. No one could take constructive criticism. Competition is hard, stressful, but you have to prove that you can work under pressure. If you gave a ton of excuses at an audition, you would be so gone. These were 20 people good enough to be on TV, be grateful, accept criticism as a learning tool and move on.
The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two (2020)
The Bratty Nature of the Girl was just too much
It's bad enough we live in a "Me-centric" world ... I had to stop watching because of the seriously bad attitude of the girl. Yes, I understood she was angry, but booking a flight? That takes teen angst up to a whole new level.
Dickinson (2019)
Too Odd for me
I tried, but the contemporary language and the hip hop music was too distracting and just didn't fit. It's like opening an ice cold bottle of coke and tasting warm water. I alao had a hard time taking the comedic actress who plays the mom seriously. I tried to loke it. I enjoyed the snippets of poetry floating accross the screen. I also enjoyed the struggle of a young woman who wants more than to be stuck in the mold of women forever.
Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)
Slasher film
This movie was a slasher, musical. There were interesting concepts but the sheer amount of blood spraying across the screen was pointless. This reminded me of Clockwork Orange. Another horrific movie. Honestly, it was a waste of time. I expected some point to reveal itself, but nothing.
Storyline aside, the music was equally bad. The 1st few songs were ok, but then it was the same poorly contrived motifs over and over with songs that were utterly meaningless.
Mysterious Island (2005)
C Movie
This movie is a disgrace in an era with Jurassic park and so many other movies with fantastic special effects. It reminds me of rhe 1970s sci-fi. You have a good cast, so the overly large, very fake creatures are unnecessary. I mean, the sizes keep changing. They xrawl doen trees that are not that big and yet they are somehow the size of a car?? And who dressed Patrick Stewart? He looked horrible.
F9 (2021)
NOT THE SERIES I LOVED
I will not be adding this to by F&F collection. The action was ridiculous and the plot only , eh.
Dom has always been all about family but he is living off the grid away from his sister and niece. He and his SO and his son. No phone, nothing. They leave the kid behind to go on a quest? Who is watching the child? I was able to justify it by pretending he dropped the kid off at his sister. But NO, his sister Mia finds them in their lair (how did she just know where they were???? & who is watching their kids??? Who would they trust enough to raise them because people die on these missions.
Ok, kids aside, l think they've run out of realistic looking tricks. At one point they have a car driving across a rope bridge and then they are driving straight up a vertical rope bridge ... what about GRAVITY??? Or the strength of a bumper. I know theor have been pther crazy tricks, but they were in a story that grabbed you or looked amazing.
Only good thing... the music is fantastic.
Cinderella (2021)
An Interesting Take on Cinderella
The story itself was fun and took a different path than expected. It was fun to watch and didn't take itself seriously at all. My favorite characters were the mice. Loved them.
Sadly, the music is probably why this is rated so poorly. There are WAY too many songs and some don't even make sense with the scene.
So, this movie was a good solid 5/10. Decent acting. Good voices, beautiful clothing and a fun set.
Leverage: Redemption (2021)
Nice to see my fav characters again, but not as good as original
I am surprised at all the positive reviews. This is not even close to being as good as the original. I honestly, if it wasn't for a loyal fan base, I don't think it would fly at all. The writing is clunky, the cons less smooth & Sophie's con characters really fake and over the top. Nor are they as well.thought out. Kind of disappointed. I'm guessing the writers are different.
Mortal Kombat (2021)
Beyond Bad
I rented this fully expecting a fun evening of movie martial arts, bad lines and a predictable plot. What progressed was something that made the 1st one look like an awesome blockbuster. So many decisions made no sense. Many special effects were pretty cool but didn't seem to follow rules. & WHY DID THEY MAKE HIS COSTUME so BAD? So many others were cool, but the main characters's was simply a superhero shirt. Like the kind you get for Halloween. In fight scenes you could see it bunch in his elbows and waist. Who is rating this 10/10?!?!?
Gunpowder Milkshake (2021)
HOLY POINTLESS SLOWMOS
It's a movie with all my favorite actresses. It had a child for heart and fun and YET there were so many pointless slow motion scenes that I couldn't help but scream in frustration at the stupidity of it. I wasn't expecting a masterpiece. Just a fun 2 hours with my hubby. Sigh, really wanted to give this a better rating but the story wasn't that great and flow was awful. But the acting was quite good. Goes to show, great acting can't fix a horrible movie.
Doctor Who: Arachnids in the UK (2018)
Dialog and Plot holes continue
Well this was a horrifically bad episode in what is becoming a season of incomplete stories and stupid fixes. I actually had to rewind a couple times to figure out how they solved the problem. The story writing is going from bad to worse and I STILL FEEL simply annoyed by all the companions and the doctor. Not a single person with depth. Oh, sometimes someone has a moment with they START to seem like a well rounded human being with an integrated back story ... brief snippets but then the clunky dialog gets in the way. HONESTLY, you'd be better off having a collection of fan written stories than this BS.
Doctor Who: Spyfall: Part One (2020)
Your writers are destroying a Legacy
One of the best things about Doctor Who was its ability to tell a wonderful story that left you begging for more. I tried, Lord, I have tried to get into the new Doctor. At 1st, I thought she was trying to fit into her new skin but was like a shallow Version of Matt Smith on meth. The writing never got better. Jodi's 1st season started as a super-hyper child-like Doctor who basically found some people & begged them to be her friend. She seems to know it all or knows nothing - as in dumb as a rock. They made her ditzy as hell. Something that made me so sad because there have been so many strong wonderful female roles written in, that I had been eager to see that with the doctor. I can't find a way to like her or see her as a ancient being with hidden depths. Yes, it is always hard to let go of a beloved Doctor. I hated Matt Smith for the 1st episode ... but he Amy and Rory quickly became my absolute favorite team. Then Peter came and I hated him partially because he entered our world on a slew of shows with no overall season arch. Fortunately, that changed and soon his face became beloved. I kept hoping I would come to feel that with Jodi, but the writing is so bad that I honestly can no longer bear to sit through another episode that has me screaming in frustration at plot holes big enough to drive a truck through and a group of people I honestly don't care for. And the shallow, half-baked stories are painful to watch. Worst are rhe resolutions to the problems! They're aren't clever at all!
I took a break and then decided to check out this season fervently hoping BBC would have listened to the complaints of their fans and find BETTER WRITERS or at least a better story runner. This time I was smart and only bought the one episode. The plot was as poorly put together as the previous season. Honestly, this is the last new episode of the 13th doc that I will watch unless someone steps in and fixes things. It's painful to see Doctor Who die so pathetically. As far as I am concerned, the series is over. This "Power Ranger" quality writing is for 9 year olds and I guess I will let them have it . . . Oh wait, even my 12 y.o. Niece won't watch this show with me. Instead we are going to start with the very 1st Doctor and work our way through the 12th.
Tenet (2020)
Better than Expected
The premise of this movie is fascinating and left me and my husband discussing it for a good hour. Would definitely recommend time buffs to see. I would have rated it 7/10 if not for the poor acting by Washington. His unchanging facial expression and monotonous delivery made the movie drag on. Patterson's performance gave the movie some much needed energy.
I honestly think a better leading man would have made the movie more interesting and understandable. There was a lot of information given to you and a lot of things only partially explained. While I think a lot of that had to do with the whole concept of time and was done on purpose, it did make the movie confusing. . . For example the difference between those that are inverted verses just jumping through time.
