Goosebumps (2023)
Fantastic series a much watch for GB fans
This new spin on the classic Goosebumps is amazing! I really enjoyed binge watching the first five episodes. I think all of the actors are really great, at least a few have an extensive movie career past. I don't understand any criticism towards its cast, some of the criticism I've read is completely ludicrous. Also, being this is how almost all modern shows are made. The 22 minute old 90's made for tv eps are classic, but fail in comparison to today's special effects. While both used CGI the elder are quite cheesy. Honestly the plot works better here in the 2023 series. Squeezing all the content into original TV 30 minute segments with commercials or 22 minutes run time. Is not enough time to establish a good sense of the characters, or depth of content of a well written plot. Not to mention how it is directed. I've watched all episodes of the series having grown up in the latter part of the 90's, also read most of the books too. This new twist on the 2023 Goosebumps is ideal for me. Much scarier than the original I must say, it was enough to keep me interested, and curious as to what happens next. I am excited for more fantastical episodes with more to come. I highly recommend this show to all fans new or old to the series ! I would not listen to these poor reviews and watch it for yourself.
I would like to shoutout to Miles McKenna (James), for his excellent acting and accomplishments, as well as his work for equality in the LBGTQ community! Thank you!!
Peter Pan & Wendy (2023)
Try again
Through the years there have been many remakes of this timeless classic. Growing up in the 90's I loved the original animated Disney version. As well as the 2003 version featuring Jeremy Sumpter. I must have watched the animated one hundreds of times. However this live action version, was simply not good in fact this film is pretty horrible. Almost all the original important characters had seriously badly written scripts. As well as generally being bad actors and actresses. Even Jude Law one of my favorite actors, who plays Captain Hook made for a bad version of the character. Don't expect any alligator mischief in this film. Tinker Bell has a very minuscule dry part and her role in the film was confusing. Wendy's bit was dull and I did not like her character. The most annoying part about this film is who they choose to play the star, Peter Pan. The kid felt more like a punk teenager then an upbeat funny care free boy. Not to mention the kid looked nothing like any of the Peter Pan actors or characters from the past. All this made for a very disappointing and slow film, I found hard to watch. Hopefully a better remake with some fresh characters will give this timeless classic a worthy reboot.
A Wake (2019)
A very sad tale
This was a bit of disappointment for me, The two main characters we're good enough actors. However the rest of the cast were quit bad. This film has all the potential to be a great film. I'f only the plot was better less depressing and just less plain boring. It's almost like they had the right idea but the writers, just couldn't do a good enough job portraying this bizarre mixture of bad acting and bad feelings. I can appreciate the fact that the characters, actually look legitimately like teenage boys, instead of 35 year olds playing high schoolers. So over all I give this a 4 because of the crap script. You will probably like this one, if your into super overly dramatic and depressing themes the whole way through. The movie just didn't do it for me.
Heartstopper (2022)
Wonderful
Heartstopper really compelled me to write a review, which I don't often do. I absolutely love this show by the way. Every episode was just as exciting as the next. The balance of drama excitement and anticipation. I watched the whole first season and wish there was more. Definitely hope there will be a second season. This series is breath of fresh air to this genre, nice to see a show centered around what being gay is actual like, in the 2020's..Getting good actors that don't look 30/40 playing high school student always throws me off this doesn't. The acting and characters were vry phenomenal.
Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
Worst Thor movie yet
As the Thor series continues squeezing out new movies. The writing seems to have taken a nose dive. The humor is more for children and teens than anyone. The plots are in my opinion not very imaginative and parts of the movie are plain boring. This movie is ok and the actors are good. However I would fire the writer.
Chad (2021)
Awful
This show it on one of the worst I've ever seen. Everything about it is awful! The plot is horrible and the dialogue is boring af! The main person Chad, makes all the scenes hard of watch and very awkward and uncomfortable. Honestly I don't know what they were going for here. It's not funny, and doesn't fit into any other genre so not sure what type of show this even is. The main character is also obviously a woman very much in her 40's 39 to be exact. Supposed to be pretending to play a 14 year old boy? An insult to the trans folks out there. The whole thing a total disaster to the film industry. Save your time/money and avoid this pile of s**t at any cost.

Killer Kids (2011)
Cannot watch
This shows interesting enough. The reenactments are done pretty well. You can tell the show had a reasonable budget not to cheesy, as these shows tend to be. The problem I have it the narrators voice, the little girl.. it makes the whole show extremely hard to watch and just dose not fit in with the show. Or what's going on it's just stupid. Seriously whoever picked this child's voice needs to be fired, so inappropriate unnecessary. For now I don't watch because this reason. Please get new narrator and I'll change my vote and watch show.
F9 (2021)
Bad
Apparently they have ran out of ideas. I'll keep it simple the dialogue was garbage. The movie is complete s**t, don't waste your money seeing this junk...
American Housewife (2016)
What it's become
This show use to be really funny. It had a great story line with plenty of jokes and an interesting cast. Now it's become quite awful and honestly hard to watch. It seems like all the characters have become plain annoying. The shows plot has no sense of direction with seemingly no direction. To top all of this mess of a show, is the replacement of a main character Annakat. Who is not at all like the original character. ABC should do themselves a favor and cancel this show.
The Conners (2018)
It's ok
The Conners is a decent show with decent cast. The best being John Goodman and Sara Gilbert. However the show feels empty without Roseanne Barr. I think many will agree that it's just not the same without her she was the heart and soul of this whole series.
Death Note (2017)
Don't bother
Let me start off by saying I love the original Death Note anime. However this live action rendition is absolutely horrible. I appreciate what they were trying to do but really NetFlix.. The main character is a bad actor with no talent whatsoever. I had to force myself to finish it. It just drags on and on with a confusing plot and bad acting in general. Do yourself a favor and skip this monstrosity of a film.
