The Mandalorian: Chapter 22: Guns for Hire (2023)
Why
Great show, until this episode. Boring dumb and really lame. Fluff and filler to put people in just because. Acting by some was forced, cameos lame. Why not put real fans in the show and not over paid personalities? Some of which probably don't even care about or like Star Wars. Please don't let this show slide downwards and ruin it more. This is the first episode I skipped til the end or when I felt I might get something to move the story forward. Now I am forced to hit the character limit of the review, so nothing more about this episode to follow. Just me talking about how air is air and water is water.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)
Yawn
I tried, I really did. I made to about the 1 hour mark and thought....can this get anymore boring than it already has been? Yes.... Yes it can. I do appreciate the Chadwick tribute, I just felt I was getting told the same ol story. It was colorful, action was uh well uh.... Yawn. Wings on ankles ugh. Some of the creature designs were neat but not enough to keep my interest. So I hit skip ALOT just to get to the end, see where things are headed and went about my day. Thanking myself for not sitting in the theatre to watch this. Marvel just keeps dropping the ball more and more and more. I get it, not every movie can hit a home run....this didn't even get to first base.
Outlast (2023)
WHY? Pure evil exists and this show proves it.
I am so disappointed in this. 1. Amber, teaches yoga, recovering addict and talks about how hard life has been. I would NEVER take yoga from you, of all the people on the show YOU have no empathy or ethics. Someone who has gone through what you have shouldn't treat others how you did, laughing about it and taking joy in the pain of others. I would NEVER take yoga from you, you need to recheck that moral compass! 2. Jill, just pure evil, hate and beyond cruel. I would never hire you as a Private Investigator. Anyone case you are on people should really scrutinize the evidence you provide. I am happy that both of you failed, the universe spoke! Justin should have bailed and gone with Bravo Team. Javier should have won the game. Paul even though you won, you ditching your team was wrong. This show is pure garbage! Perfect Match was better than this, at least I knew I was watching a dumpster fire with reality show actors. I don't recommend Perfect Match either, or just skip to the sponge/trampoline challenge. I do not like seeing Humans treat Humans like this. This wasn't Outlast, this was how nasty can I be to someone else! We don't need season 2. You cancel the OA and give us this garbage.
Instant Dream Home (2022)
Yawn
Full of fluff, I wonder how well the homes hold up after the work is done. Added drama is old, just remodel a home and stop the drama....life has enough in it already. Just life less. Grand Design is well worth watching so you can skip this.
Loudermilk: Hit Me Baby One More Time (2020)
REALLY?
Stop with this BS, you get a great show going then you try to force feed us this crap! We are not idiots. I will try one more episode and see if this is worth watching anymore. First 2 seasons amazing and fun, happy to have a 3rd season until this episode.
The Mandalorian (2019)
How Star Wars should be!
Thank you to everyone who has worked on this! You have delivered what I have been wanting for YEARS! Such an amazing ride! I just started watching a VR headset and that adds to the experience even more!
Hell or High Water (2016)
Well crafted story
I finally took time to sit and watch this! From the opening to the end I enjoyed it! A well crafted story that doesn't give it all up front. Sad but very enjoyable film with great acting and direction!
Joker (2019)
Dark, Sad and Amazing
I have been patiently waiting for this to arrive.....I am not disappointed at all! Joaquin was simply AMAZING! You really feel for his character and I did cheer for him in the end. I loved everything about this movie. He made Joker his own but also honored all of those who have played him in the past! It would be wonderful to see Batman in this world!
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
WOW! Thank You Marvel!
I LOVED every minute of Endgame. Thank you for such an amazing ride!
Between (2015)
Idea is good, delivery not so much
Story sounded cool, trailer sold it. Second episode in I was like WHAT THE HECK. The acting is hit or miss, the things they do with the show either make you laugh or wonder what the heck. So many moments of I need to stop watching yet being it is only 12 episodes, I did need to finish it out. A roller coaster of could be so much more to wow this is bad. I have seen worse.
Venom (2018)
Better Than Expected
I was looking forward to this. It was better than I expected. One Fun Ride! Comedy was not to overboard and balanced well with the action. Hope to see more Venom!
The Predator (2018)
What the Heck
The intro was fast and jarring. The acting was decent for what the movie was. Jacob did a great job. Action was alright. I thought the Hunter Predator was just to big, then the predator dogs....it was rated R right? So why add the dog's? Also where did the Pitbull go after we saw it running towards Jacob?
It was hard to see at times if someone got killed or injured, I assumed dead once we didn't see them again. I didn't have high hopes going into this and left with lower hope of any more. They just keep getting them wrong OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. If you want some awesome google "Batman:Dead end" That is the movie I want!
The Shape of Water (2017)
Simple Beautiful
This was better than expected. The sets, acting and story! So well done and not your run of the mill save the creature from evil flick. It shines from beginning to end!
Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)
Disjointed
I planned on waiting to see this as I try to avoid crowds, but when reviews came out a couple days before release I was convinced I NEEDED TO GO.
I headed out in a Lake Effect Snow storm (because we know Regal at the mall NEVER closes). Managed to get a ticket 2 hours before it blasted on to the screen.
I was all in, until the first Joke hit the screen.....I was then disjointed through the rest of the movie. Rian Johnson said don't watch the trailers.....I should have listened. Those were the movie I wanted, it was not the movie I got. Visually stunning and as always great seeing familiar faces. This ranks lowest in my Star Wars catalog. I would even put the Ewok Made for TV just above this. I understand moving the story forward, but this just seemed to really shake things up to much. I know look forward to what else is coming and truly hope this jagged puzzle piece will fit in the end.
Downsizing (2017)
Bait and Switch
I had high hopes for this, the acting was great the special effects were great but dang if the story did not match the trailers. Much like Coke Zero tasting like a coke....NO NO it does not so stop trying to trick me.
I do think not seeing the trailers and going in cold could have changed my mind on what I thought of it but it really went no where.
Even the ending was um well.......
War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)
It was alright
I really enjoyed the first in the series, then the second kind of had me guessing, this had me a bit lost. Visually I enjoyed the movie. Everything else was just meh. All 3 movies seem a bit disjointed. I try to recall the other 2 while watching and see how they connect, I always feel I am missing something.
Will I give the 4th (if made) a chance, sure as I am curious, but if it leaves me feeling like I did after watching this and Dawn I won't be in for the 5th. I feel like each movie is really it's own movie as the only connection I see is Caesar and his primates.
Banshee (2013)
Something about this sucked me in
This is similar yet different. It is like an old detective novel, filled with fights, sex, and sex. You can almost guarantee after a knock down drag out fight that sex will happen. It really is over the top, but I think that is why I keep coming back. You get some good laughs and some CRAZY fights followed by some sex. The acting is pretty good, the bad guys are really good bad guys and and the good guys are pretty good bad guys. Job is great! I love how we so far as of this writing have no idea what Hood's real name is. They do not hold back at all, if you like crazy fights and sex galore than this is right up your alley. Banshee is the town that seems to never sleep.
Sherlock (2010)
Well Done!
Great acting, stories, and loads of fun. I have a love hate with how short the seasons are but I think that is what makes this so good and also what makes it work. I think if it were a longer season it would not hold up as well, being shorter I believe helps them make a strong story and adds quality to the show. Sometimes quantity can water things down. Freeman and Cumberbatch work well together, I couldn't think of a finer pair. Andrew Scott as Moriarty excels, he is crazy and sane in one breath. I do hope he does come back, how could he not? The writers have a great way of letting you think one thing and blindside you with something else. I hope this continues for many more seasons.
Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)
Not sure I would recommend to others even though I liked it
Was I excited about this coming out and having yet another Transformers movie? Yes...I still smiled, laughed and had a great time.I have movies I hate and ones I love...with the middle road of some I really enjoy but would not recommend to some people. I think it was a bit long, and some of the dialog at times was just taking up screen time. Wahlberg had some pretty funny lines. I am not sure how I felt about the direction the Autobots were taken this time around. Exciting to see the Dinobots. The effects were great as always and the fight scenes were pretty good too. I know many are not a Michael Bay fan, I happen to like his action films and look forward to another Transformers. It was nice to not have 2 hours and 45 minutes of Shia too! I do hope the Autobots get it together for the next film.
Alone in the Wilderness (2004)
A great documentary
I sat and watched in amazement, seeing a trade that has pretty much vanished in this life time. I wished it had been longer then an hour and could have seen more of his craft at work. I started a cabin about the same size 2 years ago, this motivated me to get working on it again. I learned a lot from watching this and hope to apply it to the one I am building. Then I will possibly make a few sheds out of logs. The filming was great! Very inspiring. I wonder what made him do this, did he have visitors? I know I would have brought along a dog to keep me company at least.
Amazing!
Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993)
Lame
I stayed at the theatre to finish the movie just to see Freddy laugh and grab Jasons mask and take it to hell. As for that I can not believe I wasted my money on this film. From the get go it really sucked. Well wait there was a hot chick in the beginning. Of course I was glad to see this lead into Freddy Vs Jason which I did like. Now if you want to waste time then Jason goes to hell is for you. Now I stop and think....how can a studio give money for this and cancel good things like Fire Fly. Maybe now fans will start getting what they want and no longer have to settle for junk. Of Course I am up for a Jason Vs Freddy 2 possibly with Mike Meyers in it and all three can fight it out.
