Swerve (2016– )

Mediocre acting, forced relationships, but interesting plotlines

[13 March 2019]

Checked out this series after seeing it hyped on social media. I didn't have the patience to sit through the whole series so I jumped through the episodes to see if it got any better (spoiler alert: it didn't). The tall girl playing the lead is not a strong actor, and it kind of seems like she got cast in this just to capitalize on her 'fame' as a supporting character in another series - but she's really not interesting or talented enough to carry a series on her own, and it shows in her flat performances. Series one was okay, but series two was a more jumbled narrative and a lot of the plot points felt forced.

Dead Before Dawn 3D (2012)

Absolutely terrible film

[16 July 2016]

It baffles me why morons like this get money to make films. Though I suppose women are more likely to get funding now that there is a push for all of this "equality" or what have you.

The plot was both campy and highly predictable, Christopher Lloyd despite his star power could not save this movie, and it's clear it was just written by the producer April Mullen because she cannot get any other acting work so she has to write for herself.

Overall there was a lot of bad acting (did nobody bother to give their background players any sort of direction? Obviously not, but they weren't the worst of the over-actors to be quite honest) and the production team clearly wasted the budget on god knows what, because it certainly didn't go into the film.

Really not worth the time wasted watching.
