The Cleaning Lady (2022)
LEAD CHARACTER IS A TRAIN WRECK
I like the show, but probably not for reasons the show creators may have wanted/intended.
Lead Character, Thony, is NOT the story's hero...she is a TRAIN WRECK. The show basically follows her as she scrambles to recovery from one bad decision after another.
Every character is negatively impacted by her poor choices. She is a human wrecking ball to the life of everyone she encounters.
Her family/friends show her blind loyalty, that she really does not deserve, which will cost them their livelihood or even their lives.
I do find it interesting to see how she will try to unravel the messes she makes.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2024)
This is NOT LIKE THE MOVIE but it is not trying to be.
IF YOU WANT/EXPECT THE MOVIE IN SHOW FORMAT YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED...but does not mean it is bad!
As the summary explains...the character setup/dynamics, and conflicts are completely different.
They are not married enemy spies hiding their identities until they are hired to kill each other.
It is NOT ABOUT ACTION SCENES, but strangers creating a personal relationship between their spy assignments. It is a SLOW BURN, you see more of the down times between the "high risk" missions.
I think they should not have used the movie title to avoid disappointing people. They could have told the same story, and attract viewers looking for this kind of show.
Enterprise: Cogenitor (2003)
Did not age well...
Looking at this episode in 2023...this episode did not age well. The concept of a species 3rd gender was a progressive topic 20 years ago... And I realize the writers should not be judged on today's standard...but it really annoyed me they continued to use feminine pronouns for the 3rd gender even after the script noted a few times the character was not female.
My main issue with the episode is with Archer's reaction to the 3rd genders request for asylum and the shaming of Trip, after Archer denied the request and they choose to kill themselves instead of returning to "life" of a fertility tool. It seemed out of character to me.
The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023)
Boring...was not scary nor suspenseful...not worth watching in theaters
I was so bored by this movie.... A lot of it was very slow with nothing much happening.
Even the ships's crew had little to do...when usually only one person is on deck at any given time (maybe two)...and they barely touch a sail or a rope if at all...and only attempt to stir the boat for literally a few secs. The boat must of had automatic stirring and self guided GPS.
Even with all the down time you barely get to know anything about the crew...and therefore there was no emotional impact when they start to get attacked and die.
Not sure if the goal was to make the audience feel like they had been on the ship for several weeks, instead of watching a two hour movie.
The acting was pretty good...just did not care what was going on.
A 3rd of the wsy through the movie I forced myself to take a bathroom break, then scrolled through my phone for a few minutes before returning to my seat.
If you have any interest in this movie I suggest waiting 45 days until it is free to watch on Peacock.
You're Killing Me (2023)
This is SO DUMB it was KILLING ME
This movie is so DUMB! The writing is so STUPID. Every plot point is CRAZY. Every character choice is so ridiculous and makes no sense.
Just when you think the acting could not be more over the top, or the writing could not get more idiotic...it does.
It is supposed to be about the power dynamics between the rich and the poor, but it is a joke. Everyone but the lead are horrible people.
I did not find the plot twists were not shocking, suspenseful ,or entertaining...it just annoyed me that people were so dumb, and made me mad the movie was still going.
Sitting through this movie was KILLING ME!
The Search for Santa Paws (2010)
Creepy Santa/Dog/BAD Miracle on 34th St and Annie Rip-off Movie
This movie is NOT GOOD. It festures standard cheesy writing for these types of movies (targeting young kids while not trying to entertain adults) which I would forgive. The issue is it tries too hard to be a "cute" talking dog movie, mixed with low quality Miracle on 34th Street and Annie rip off...with a creepy Santa and questionable plot points for bad measure.
The acting was campy but ok for the most part. The level of campiness of the different characters varied greatly...making the overall tone of the movie uneven. My only real complaint was with youngest girl, but I do not want to be too critical of a young child. She is cute...but that is all.
The makeup of the actor playing Santa was very off putting to me as an adult...giving botched plastic surgery vibes.
Naming the black Hungarian Puli dog Rasta with a Jamaica accent was questionable. I get it...he had dreadlocks..but not the best choice.
Meet Cute (2022)
Meet Ugly..Sheila is crazy and Gary is her victim
Starting out good...until Sheila is revealed to be CRAZY STALKER. It does not make sense that she just wants to relive the first date...for a YEAR until she gets annoyed/bored. She had great days...and instead of building a relationship off of it the next day (an use the time machine to fix relationship issues in the FUTURE) she REPEATS the first day and expecting Gary to progress his feelings. Then she REWRITES his life ...being a father figure...setting up how he lost his virginity... is PSYCHOTIC. I get she was depressed but it does not explain why she thinks it makes sense to create a relationship out of one day. And why tell Gary about the time travel? Gary is a victim in this situation...and I hate that forgives her manipulation of his life.
Echoes (2022)
Unlikeable Main Character(s)
The twins are extremely unlikeable...I can not find an ounce of sympathy for either of them. Their current and past storylines just make them both just crazy and dishonest to EVERYONE they were supposed to have cared about.
Almost Paradise (2020)
WANT a season 2!!!
This show was not on my radar, but randomly came across it on Amazon Prime. Enjoyed the show a lot! It was nice to see the Filipino culture represented! Watched season 1 in one day...and WANT a season 2!
