It was bad enough two episodes ago when they kind of did a Ghostfacers thing, but Rose opens up her mouth and looks just like a leviathan? Come on! I like this show but recycling ideas from Supernatural (and possibly other genre shows I haven't seen) is a bit over the top.

I need two hundred some more characters in order to post but I think I've already made my point and this is just silly and I'm only typing more to hit the limit. Benjamin from Lost is so creepy. That actor (Michael Emerson, I think, is his name) is sooooooo typecast as a creepy, weird guy. I don't think we'll ever see him as anything else.

I loved John Corbett's portrayal of Chris Stevens in the 1990s TV series Northern Exposure, so I decided to see what else he's been in and came across the 2017 movie All Saints. It had a decent imdb rating and was available on a channel I get, so I watched it not expecting much. Well, I really enjoyed it and the presence of Barry Corbin (Corbett's Northern Exposure co-star) was an added treat. Their relationship in All Saints was reminiscent of their Northern Exposure relationship, so that was fun. Corbett's sermons as Pastor Michael Spurlock were also strikingly similar in tone to Chris Stevens's on air musings on Cicely, Alaska's radio station.

All Saints is a sweet, uplifting, wholesome movie anyone can enjoy.

There are several things about this documentary that are less than stellar, but the editing is the absolute worst.

While the overall story is mostly told in chronological order, there's a lot of unnecessary jumping back and forth in time. The clips of artist interviews often have nothing to do with the scenes before or after them. Album covers are shown while another artist's song plays. A few concert clips go on a little too long for the overall format of the movie. The same can be said of several interview clips.

An excessive amount of time is spent talking about punk, while many metal genres are never even mentioned. Thrash metal icons James Hetfield and Scott Ian are both interviewed but the movie doesn't delve into thrash. The movie cites Alice Cooper's (very valid) influence on glam but also give him credit for Ghost with absolutely no mention of Mercyful Fate. Sixx A. M. is included but Motley Crüe is barely mentioned. The movie is named after a Slade tune popularized by Quiet Riot but the connection is never made when Slade is shown and, as far as I recall, Quiet Riot was never even mentioned.

It's pretty much a mess and there are far better metal documentaries that put this one to shame.

The episode should've only lasted 17 minutes. It's the worst episode of the show by a long shot.

It reminded me of the Supernatural episode Mystery Spot (hence the review title) but without any of the humor or heartfelt drama. Also without enough variety to make it interesting.

We got the point by the third attempt. We didn't need to see attempts 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, especially when they all play out basically the same with no true variety.

To boot, the parts with Katheryn were just plain annoying and made her come across as a self-centered, greedy b**ch. They also had nothing to do with the main storyline.

This movie was probably funny when it was released in 2000, but 23 years later it's total cringe. If you're easily offended, this movie is not for you. It has sexist, racist, and ableist parts and probably a few other "ists" that I didn't catch.

I watched the movie because DJ Qualls was in it and he, along with Meyer and Costanzo, did a good job. Despite what I said previously, the movie was moderately entertaining. Not hilarious but not awful. Except Tom Green's character, who was stupid, weird, and useless. The movie would've been complete and would've flowed better without his character and the really stupid premise of him as the narrator.

As a devotee of the original movie, I didn't know what to expect. Would it be a cheesy remake? Would I be sorely disappointed? I loved the first one so much that I had to check this one out. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised. It has callbacks to many of the key scenes of the original movie but puts enough of a twist on each one so that they're not just pathetic repeats of the original movie. The casting is great -- both the new cast (mom, wife, and kids) and the old (Flick, Schwartz, Scut, Randy). The nostalgia of 1973 is just as touching as the nostalgia of the 1940s was in the original. I loved how Ralph, Flick, and Schwartz had all matured into adults but still retained some of their childhood personalities. (Other movies would have them outright behaving like children.) I'm not sure if the movie would be enjoyable for someone who hasn't watched the original -- and watched it enough times to remember every scene -- but for fans of the classic A Christmas Story, I highly recommend giving this a watch.

I think this show was half decent when it started but it just gets worse and worse. This episode is beyond ridiculous and stupid.

Apparently I need to add more characters.

I was really looking forward to this movie but I gave up about an hour into it when I realized I didn't care about any of the characters. Also, there was too much that's just plain weird and, seemingly, for no reason. I like Alexander Skarsgard. I like vikings. I like weird. But this movie didn't come together for me.

Crossovers are only cool if you watch the other show(s). The rest of us are totally lost and don't want to watch a bunch of characters we don't care about. At the very least, the episode should be a stand alone that doesn't require prior knowledge of the other shows or affect future episodes.

Excellent casting, acting, makeup, and prosthetics but I didn't like the style of the movie. I found the occasionally on-camera narrator (Jesse Plemons) and, worse, the waiter (Alfred Molina) giving background info to be off-putting. There were other things about the style that I just didn't like.

If the likes of Outlander and Poldark are the classic music of period dramas, Bridgerton is the pop music of period dramas. It's catchy. It has a good beat and you can dance to it. But it lacks substance, layers, and depth. I thoroughly enjoyed it as a one-day binge but it can't touch the nuances, depth, and historical accuracy of other TV dramas set in the18th and 19th centuries.

It's a nice, sweet movie but they ruined it by making it a musical. It's fine when a song is in the background over an action scene or when it's the talent show and they're supposed to be singing, but just breaking into a song and dance number in the middle of a conversation is weird and only works on rare occasions (e.g., Grease, West Side Story, The Sound of Music).

Also, casting directors need to cast teen actors as teen characters. Viewers can tell the difference between 17-year-olds and guys in their mid 20s.

Dean is in full-on big brother mode in this episode. We see his concern and worry for Sam early in the episode and we later see his refusal to hurt Sam, going so far as to say he'd rather die than kill or hurt Sam.

Dean is, of course, always the big brother and there's always a simmering level of protectiveness towards Sam throughout the series but we really see it in the forefront in this episode. The relationship beyween the brothers is the backbone of the show and episodes like this that highlight it really shine.

As an added treat, we get to see another side of Jared Padalecki's acting skills in this episode.

It was a nice, whimsical movie.

The only thing I didn't like was the character Adam. Based on his comments about school and research, I assume he was 22-23 years old. Unfortunately, he acted about 15. The character was annoyingly immature on several levels.

In which we meet Missouri Moseley (portrayed to perfection by Loretta Devine) calling Dean "not the sharpest tool in the shed." Love her!!!

I had very low expectations for this movie so I was pleasantly surprised by it. It's cute and light-hearted with a lot of fun scenes.

The only major drawback was Andy Richter's character's accent.

Despite being in their 20s, most of the characters were the same old overused teen movie stereotypes (jock, bully, bimbo, stoner, nerd) just there to be killed off. The movie was loaded with gratuitous boob shots. I have no problem with nudity but when it's only there to draw in a certain demographic, it's annoyingly obvious.

Clay, Whitney, and Jenna were the only characters worth watching and were well acted. If the other characters and actors had been of their caliber, it might've been a good movie. Unfortunately, the rest were all B movie quality.

I could watch an entire episode of Dean reacting to eating ghost pepper jerky and Sam reacting to Dean's reaction. As usual, the interaction between the two brothers is always the best part of Supernatural.
