Doctor Who (2005–2022)

Get Woke. Go broke.

[1/10 · 26 February 2020]

This is the lesson we learn as the BBC and its accomplices, including Chris Chibnall and Jodie Whittaker, decide to take a successful franchise and replace every recognizable aspect and replace it with political correctness. I don't care that the Doctor is being portrayed by a woman but to make it out as the next step in the feminist movement is far overreaching. Doctor Who is not a strange to social commentary but it did it in a way that wasn't preachy. I don't need to be preached to. I just want a classic sci-fi television series.

The Joe Schmo Show (2003– )

The Joe Schmoe Show

[2 September 2003]

Just another bend down the spiral that is called 'reality tv', they take a guy who is arguably the dumbest guy in America, or the world for that matter. They throw him into a life amongst people who are acting. He apparently didn't recognize any of them from previous acting jobs. It didn't really help either when the actors blatantly screwed up by forgetting things about who they were supposed to portray.

At the beginning, they play 'Guess the underwear', an exchange of underwear which provided a disgusting look at their nearly naked bodies - except Kip who was completely naked but thanks to digital censorship we saw minimal amounts of his 'manhood'. At least the women were lookers.

If this show doesn't provide the final blow to 'reality TV', I have no idea what will.

The O.C. (2003–2007)

Life in O.C. seems to have no point

[5 August 2003]

One-dimensional characters, awful soundtrack and bad dialogue highlight this attempt to portray teen life in O.C. The acting is limited combined with the lack of depth and character development due to the bad script work no real connection is plausible with any of these characters. It tries to make up for it by over hyping the cinematography (McG style). Unless some better script work, more complicated storyline is created, this will not last long.

Very Bad Things (1998)

The movie got better as the plot got worse!

[8/10 · 4 March 2000]

Well I think my summary says it all! I looked at the information on this movie and I was quite shocked that the running time for the movie was 10 minutes longer than any version in any other country! Seemed a bit ironic considering all the negative things some people had to say about it because they forgot that this is ONLY a movie! I thought that as more of the cast was killed the more shocked but humoured I was!

This movie also teaches a very important life lesson:What would YOU do if this happened to you? I bet you would to the same thing!
