Bingo Hell (2021)

Can't believe Amazon put their name on this

[3/10 · 14 October 2021]

This might be the worst film I have ever seen. Cheesy, campy, overacted, bad direction, bad camera work, bad editing. I think 3/10 is being kind.

Cardboard characters, bad writing... everything about this movie is bad.

This gets my nomination for Worst Picture of 2021. And it'll be a long time before I watch another Amazon picture.

Black-ish: Blue Valentime (2018) Season 4, Episode 21

Very depressing

[2/10 · 3 May 2018]

It's not that this episode wasn't done well; it was. But I don't watch Blackish with the goal of getting depressed. And this episode was really depressing, not funny, and genuinely painful and unpleasant to watch. Who wants to watch two people hurt each other as their relationship falls apart? Not me. I don't know if I'll even watch future episodes. Big fail in my book.

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)

Great cinematography, awful acting and dialogue

[3/10 · 1 June 2002]

SW2 has some of the best cinematography and visual effects I've seen. But the great visuals were overshadowed by terrible dialogue and even worse acting. At the performance I attended, the love scenes (which are sooooo cheesy) brought on roars of laughter from the audience. Not exactly what George Lucas intended.

Mission to Mars (2000)

Mission to Misery: stay far away from this one!

[1/10 · 22 September 2000]

"Mission to Mars" was one of those movies that I had intended to see at the theatre, but missed it until it came out on video. Well, that was the best eight bucks I ever saved.

The banal dialogue, awful acting, bad special effects, and predictable storyline leads me to wonder who approved the budget for this film. Did they read the script first? Was there a script?

I may have saved eight bucks at the box office, but I wasted three at the video rental place. Save your money. Leave this one on the shelf.
