The Spiderwick Chronicles (2024)
Total disappointment
I loved the movie. I was hoping the so much that was left to develop, that it was going to be taken advantage from the book. Unfortunately, that didn't happen in the slightest.
We keep waiting for the wonderful magic seen in the film and the book to come to life in this series, although we are going to keep waiting or just let it go, leaving us disappointed.
So many things are wrong in this series: definitely not for kids (why the use of so much profanity?), bad casting (there's a total lack of chemistry between the actors), bad acting, the storyline goes back and forth (the characters change their behaviors, making sometimes no sense).
Why include a cliché story that has nothing to do with the magical story we were all wanting to be amazed with?
What a waste!
Saltburn (2023)
Very good film
This is no ordinary movie. I liked it because it is strange, intriguing. At first, I thought I had seen it before because some scenes are similar to other films, but the script is interesting, the dialogues well written. It has very disturbing scenes, unnecessary nudity. The final explanation seemed unnecessary to me (perhaps it was made for an unintelligent audience). Everything that is explained at the end anyone can easily imagine it.
I love it when I find a movie that makes me think and takes out of my comfort zone. I recommend it, although, if you're weak at heart, some scenes could disgust you. So be advised.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians (2023)
A meh series
I wanted so badly to like it, but it's impossible. It feels like everything's off. Unfortunately, in the last few years, every show where Disney is involved in is horrible. So sad this is no exception. Disney used to be a reference to great movies and shows.
The worst about this series is the storyline: boring, uninteresting, dialogues that don't go anywhere. You can't empathize to any of the characters.
The show lacks good directing. Normally, when many things aren't good it's mostly bad directing.
It's not good when at the end of each episode you don't feel you want to see more.
The actions scenes are so rushed it looks as if it was too easy for our (supposedly) heroes to survive. You never get the feeling they're in any real danger ever.
This series really can't be any worse than it is. I'm so disappointed.
Goosebumps (2023)
Garbage everywhere
I had very high hopes for this series. If it was just a little ok I would have found it good enough. They even changed the formula where every episode was unique with different stories and actors.
But the worst about this series is the casting. For instance, I don't understand why they want to make us believe 25-27 year-olds are teenagers. They don't even fit for college students because most of them are too old. They should be at work. Not in school. With these actors, the story should be about a group of friends who work together and after work...
They should have used a different tittle and not ruin the legacy.
This garbage is unwatchable. Too fake. Completely awful.
Avoid at all cost.
The Wheel of Time (2021)
Súper boring
When I read the title, I was hoping for something amazing. Well, it is amazingly bad. Stupid script, and dialogues, bad acting, but most of all, incredibly boring. Nothing like those great stories (Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones...).
Watch anything else. I'm sure the 10 ratings are fake. Who could like this rubbish?
Gossip Girl (2021)
Horrible !
Don't watch. It's really boring, bad acting, very poor script. The characters look too forced and unreal. You can´t really connect with any of the characters. It had my hopes high, but they´re underground.
There´s going to be a season 2 just because it´s already filmed.
Dear Evan Hansen (2021)
Worst casting ever
At the beginning of the film, the main character is living with his mother. I ask myself why a 30 something would be still living with his mother. Then he goes to class and I think he's to old to still be in college. Surprise! The movie wants us to believe all characters are in high school. All actor's ages are between 25 and 28 years of age.
Why couldn't they cast teenagers to play teenagers?
1/10.
The 93rd Oscars (2021)
Worst propaganda ever
Once upon a time, the Oscars was my favorite show of the year. I had the chance to see a glance of the best pictures of the world. The best used to win.
Now it's just a complete nonsense where quality doesn't matter at all for a nomination or winning. The las few years the Oscars have become not only boring, but outrageous.
Good scripts and good acting don't matter anymore.
1/10. Cero is not available.
Shameless: Cancelled (2021)
This is as good as it gets
Oh, my. This is awesome. Shameless delivers. Loved this episode. I'm gonna miss this show so much. There's nothing like this anymore. When you think nothing will surprise you, then you see a shocking scene after another.
The world has changed so strangely that you can't even enjoy a good series or film no more. They don't make them because there's always someone offended, and that's what made entertainment so boring nowadays. 10/10.
Los cronocrímenes (2007)
Poor script. Stupid characters
For a few years, I had my doubts 'bout this flic since, because of a bad title, I thought it was about crimes. I hate movies that include assassinations just to get attention (mostly they have a bad writing). But then I just decided to watch it and was glad it wasn't about crimes at all.
It just has a stupid script. The main character and the scientist don't have common sense.
I love science fiction, but this script has no logic.
PEN15 (2019)
Worst casting ever
It looks so unnatural for two 33 year old women having relationships with 14 year old boys. These women look so old. Maybe two 20 yo could look like teenagers but thirty something? Come on. It's too much. This show could have deserved a fine 9 or 10 out 10, cause the script is great.
But the casting is horrible.
Skyrunners (2009)
Excellent sci-fi coming of age feel good film
I loved the film. It's fun most of the time. What happens in the movie is like a dream come true for a young teen. Love the topics: revenge against those who bully younger students, becoming visible, stronger and more confident, traveling on a space ship, overcoming difficult moments.
The movie es very exciting and it keeps you interested all the time. At the end, I was hoping for a sequel or a tv series. Sadly there are none. So the only next best thing is watching the film again.
The Invisible Man (2020)
They blew it at the end
The premise was good. The story was also good during the film, with some strange behaviors from the main character. She's so frightened she can't get out of the house, but she sees a ghost and she doesn't get that scared, not even a slight scream.
At the end the characters change personalities. The bad is good, the good is bad. That's so stupid. Characters don't change so abruptly. It ruins the films that ¿twist? Come on!
3/10
Welp (2014)
Stupid ending
The movie was Ok most of the time. But at the end they burnt the movie. It was too stupid. A character can't change in seconds and be another person.
The Handmaid's Tale (2017)
Good acting. Boring story. Very similar to others we have seen before
Well. The acting is great. The director did a great job. We see technical elements at their best...
Unfortunately, the script is boring. Very similar to others we have seen before. There's nothing interesting about it. I wasted one hour when I could have been watching something more intriguing, original or at least with a few twists, something out of the ordinary, but no, just pure, lame events any young boy could come up with.
Sorry for the ones who think this is "the best TV show ever". I'm not a hater. Just giving my humble opinion. If you don't agree, that's fine by me. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Plain and simple, this show's ugly.
I don't understand why they give this show a 8.7 points to make me watch. I saw this rating and said to myself "I'm going to watch something great". What a disappointment. Worst show I have seen lately.
Winter's Tale (2014)
If you like romance, poetry and magic, you can't miss it
One of the most romantic movies in years. Pure poetry and magic. It gets deep in your heart. It takes you to places you've never gone. Time doesn't have a meaning, does it? Good and evil have a balance. which one will run. Both, none? I give it a 9 out of 10.
Set in a mythic New York City and spanning more than a century, "Winter's Tale" is about miracles, crossed destinies, and the age-old battle between good and evil. The film marks the directorial debut of Academy Award®-winning screenwriter Akiva Goldsman ("A Beautiful Mind"), and stars Colin Farrel... If you like romance, poetry and magic, you can't miss it.
The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption (2012)
Worst movie of the year! Or ever?
Wost dialog EVER! Cheesy doesn't even begin to describe this script. A lot of the dialog seems like it was added in post editing. (sounds slightly off, and they often cut away from who's speaking so you don't see them mouthing the words).
I don't comment much, but this was a a huge step down.
La soga (2009)
It's been a long time since we felt this good watching a film
I just saw La Soga (The Butcher's Son). It's by far the best film made in the Dominican Republic over the last 20 years (One-way Ticket, made in the 80s was also very good). Not a cheap extended sketch or an episode from a bad soap opera. It's excellent. You can't miss this movie. It would be difficult to find someone not affected profoundly by it, after watching it. Other Dominican "filmmakers" should take it as a model to learn how to shoot a good movie. This one shows it's possible to make good movies with low budget. It is much better than most Hollywood movies we commonly see in theaters. Here you never know what will happen next. It reminds us the film City of God that we saw a few years ago. There is never a dull moment. From beginning to end, the film fills us with different emotions. There is action, suspense, comedy, romance ... It's been a long time since we felt this good watching a film. This is one of the reasons why we love movies so much, but good ones.

Desperate Living (1977)
The most awful film I've ever seen
It's incredible how much trash can be put together in one film (that's if we can call this a film). It's the worst movie I've ever seen. It's stupidity all over. I can't find words to describe this garbage. Everything in this filming is bad: the script, the actors, the editing, it's deprivations with really bad taste. Nothing makes sense. I just don't understand how some people can give this a 9 out of 10. They haven't watched any good movies yet. I don't give it a 0 because it's not an option, you can only rate it from 1 to 10. If there were minus, I'd give it a minus 10 (-10). There are so many good movies to watch. It's not worth it at all wasting our time with this. I only watch it because they gave it a 7 out of 10, so I thought it was good. How mistaken was I!
The Time Tunnel (2006)
Hope we see the TV series sometime soon
I just watched this pilot. I loved it! It reminded me of my childhood. It is the TV series I loved the most when I was a kid. The remake is amazing. Since the movie starts, you are captured by it. It takes you back to a time and place you haven't lived and you feel you're part of the team, you think you're with them, trying to mend the unleashed reaction caused by scientists when they discovered the "hot fusion". You accompany these fellows in this fantastic journey and you enjoy every single minute of it.
The characters are credible. The story has some jokes, drama, fantasy. It's just great. When the movie ended I was waiting for more. Unfortunately, new episodes haven't been made yet. I'm pretty sure we'll have them soon. I'm looking forward to it!
