How bad can a movie be? Watch THIS ONE!
1 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
If you watch THIS movie, perhaps you'll reach some form of a conclusion, in such regard.

It's really BARELY EVEN GOOD ENOUGH FOR JUST WASTING TIME! If you find you're bored out of your skull, with absolutely nothing else to do. Even "speed watching" (i.e. "fast forwarding") isn't much help in getting through this mess.

Conclusion: It's a "same ol' same ol'" plotline we've all seen over and over again.

I wonder if any of the "actors" in this POC moved on and did anything of further consequence in the movie industry, or for that matter, Hollywood in general.

Hopefully many of them decided "acting" wasn't in their futures.

What the hell did I just watch?!
28 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Nothing we haven't seen before.

Rather kind of been done before, numerous times. Original plots are harder to find in Hollywood (well, basically anywhere these days).

Writers and producers? Limited imaginations, likely limited budgets, etc., etc.

This movie is good for putting the brain in neutral, watching it, and letting the time pass on by.

The costuming is also rather ridiculous. The fight scenes aren't very well staged or very believable.

And I'm also supposed to believe all this stuff is considered "art"?

If you enjoy it, that's all well and good.

And the character of "Ghost"?

Laughable,.. Good grief!

Maybe some will, and some do. I'm passing on labeling or defining that aspect of things.

Alone (V) (2020)

Kinda 'meh...
27 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Same ol', same ol'.

MOTS (More Of The Same).

Which we've all likely seen similar before.

Everyone involved in the production, needed a paycheck, to cover bill payments, buy groceries, etc., etc. Which is why this movie was produced!

SO!

Psychopath finds a victim, ensures victom is run-off the road (by him), and crashes. He then captures and locks victim in the basement, of a cabin, in the woods, in the middle of "who-the-hell-knows where?".

Cause it's no-damn-where!

Now proceeds to lightly torture his latest victim. No food, a bit of water, etc., etc.

Victim manages to escape (Certsinly the biggest part of this movie's plot-line!).

Otherwise... no movie.

Big chase through the forest now ensues.

It's a grand game of hide and seek... under very wet, miserable, cold conditions.

Well...... it is a bit slow...
28 November 2023
People need work... and this came along.

Some signed up for it.

It comes together for us all, set builders, designers, script writer's, electricians, carpenters, etc., etc., and of course, us viewers

A bit slow going, abd you can see how they're all aging from their "glory days".

But that's where we're all headed, eventually.

Some faster than others. Others... not soon enough.

My review may be hard pressed, meeting the required six hundred character minimum, but.... I'll carry on with the matter 'til I finish.

Generally I like western movies, though these days quality seems a bit lacking, from what I can remember

All in all, it was well worth the time it took me to watch.

I consider it as an elegy... to times gone by, and days gone by.

Welllll, something to watch..... if you're bored.
3 November 2023
It's a movie.

There's action,.... and there's a "story" that (pretty much) goes along with the action.

However, I'm not quite certain why they bothered making this movie.

I found it tedious,... and without much purpose. Other than being a vehicle to employ a bunch of people.

I like to think Reynolds is better than this, but then again, people like (and want), to be paid for whatever they do and earn a living.

But, as stated, its something to watch, and kill time, If you're reallllly bored.

I managed to get through it, stubbornness, I suppose. Finishing what I start is something in my character, I guess.

Watch if you care. I'm only saying if you have much in the way of expectations, you may be disappointed.

After The Boys?
14 October 2023
Underwhelming... from my perspective.

Not as "edgy"... or entertaining, as The Boys.

Dunno if this one's gonna last. Not grabbing my interest.

The primary theme is "youth". Younger characters than "The Boys"? Why?

No big "whoop" with that concept! And "Muppets" Are these producers serious?!

And the site requires ALL reviews to have at least "FIVE HUNDRED" characters!

I think that requirement is intended to keep "one word" reviews off the site, so as not to end up with a bunch of "one word" reviews such as, "Sucks"; "Don't bother", "Waste of time,", or similar.

IMHO, "adult" characters are more interesting...and dangerous! They've had more time to develop and "hone their skills"!

Well, a time waster.
20 August 2023
I probably should NOT have expected to be more than mildly entertained with this one. People in Hollywood need work, earn money, pay bills, etc.

Unfortunately, it didn't even meet those criteria. I also dislike the fact that I have to write SIX HUNDRED CHARACTERS IN ORDER TO PROVIDE A REVIEW.!!

THAT'S A FURTHER RIDICULOUS REQUIREMENT!!

SO, I'LL PROVIDE A REQUISITE SIX HUNDRED CHARACTERS. WHAT SHOULD I PROVIDE?

The ALPHABET? NUMBERS? Something in a foreign language? Choices, choices, and even more choices.

I expect the requirement owes to the fact they want to eliminate frivolous reviews, along the lines of, "I liked it!", or "I hated it!", or whatever similar nature.

Nope (2022)
5/10
Not exactly what I was expecting!
2 April 2023
It may not quite be what you're thinking it'lll be.

Entertaining? Yes.

Imaginative? Indeed.

Different? Rather much so.

Does make you wonder about things.

And you'd better hope it's not they way things are... or might be!

Definitely worth the time you'll spend watching it! If you like science fiction that's not quite science fiction as we usually consider science fiction to be.

Rather more a combination of science fiction AND horror!

Now, I need to add a few more characters in order to have this review meet necessary criteria to and qualify for posting.

In whatever regard, I'm happy to say I watched it!

Oh well...
3 October 2022
Usually (usually), if I decide to watch a movie, I watch it to its conclusion, whatever that may be.

However, in this case, I made an exception and did other things like laundry, reading part of a novel, fixing something to eat, and dealing with other more pressing issues that mattered more than this interlude in my life.

But, typically, people in Hollywood need jobs, have to earn their paychecks, keep their families fed, etc., etc.

Additionally, I used a bit of "speed watching" to shorten the amount of time required to view this waste of time

I love fast-forwarding options on all the various channels.

Stupid, just plain stupid.
18 September 2022
Want to waste time watching a movie that has nothing nothing of consequence to offer?

Then this should fit right in for you.

I was bored, and found this, and it was boring.

So right back where I was when I started watching it. Woo hoo!

IMDB requires a whole bunch of characters to be included in all reviews. No such thing as short reviews for IMDB. But that's certainly all that's necessary for some of these low budget offerings we're finding these days.

I realize there are a great many people, in the movie industry, that need to work and earn a paycheck. And I certainly don't blame anyone who falls in that category.

I think this is much more of a parody than the previous movies have been.
11 September 2022
Parts of the movie play like a parody, others grim and rather black. Mixed bag. And now, to add 600 characters to meet minimum standards. I've no idea why IMDB insists on this standard, but that's the rule. Guess that the last paragraph still was not sufficient, so here are several more.

Really, not even yet? Okay, let's add several more, and more, and more!

And who is (or what) is responsible for counting them, the program itself? I'm further guessing punctuation characters do not count?

They still reject it. Making me work to get this to pass.

About as convoluted as they come.
28 August 2022
Time travel, and considerably more. It's not always easy to follow the different paths and understand the "why", until the end.

Makes me think of this world's current path to the future. I think it's definitely heading in a not so good direction.

Prescient? Possibly. Only time will tell the tale

That's my review. I wanted to keep it succinct, but IMDB insists (for whatever convoluted and ridiculous reasoning) that it must contain at least 600 characters.

And for that reason alone, I'll keep on keeping on putting more useless characters into this review.

Yay! Finally achieved 600 characters. Now I can retire back to my life of leisure!

Rather aptly naned.
28 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Too inane, even for a (supposedly) comedic movie. Very typical for an Adam Sandler production. And I'm being rather generous, rating it at two stars. Watch this if you're very bored, and have absolutely nothing better. But even worse, I'm having difficulty coming up with 600 characters for this review. Consequently I'm really not quite certain exactly why I'm bothering. It keeps telling me my review needs to have 600 characters. It has every one of 600 characters. So here's a few more to make it a proper review. And whoever's monitoring this review is incapable of counting characters. There are way more than 600 of them.

Well.....
19 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Kinda lame. Another "giant monsters, end of things as we knew them, etc. "Multi-tentacled giant squidly things" with internal flickering, glowing lighting. Wow... I'm sure the special effects, cgi, people had fun with this one.

Improbable... but reasonably entertaining
31 July 2022
Times are Scott sounds like you're listening to his father, uncanny.

I find the villain a caricature of villains in general. Rather a bit over the top, imho.

Movie did its job of killing time for me.🙂

If you're REALLY bored...
24 July 2022
This might kill some time for you. However, for me, even "speed" watching (fast forwarding, if you don't know) was not worth the time invested. I don't imagine Bruce needs the money. Perhaps he just wants to still feel relevant in Hollywood. My advice? Take a pass.

The Gray Man (2022)

I'm liking it.
24 July 2022
So far, decent. There are several novels in this series, hopefully there'll be additional movies.

The actors fit their roles nicely and the action is on par with my expectations.

The hosts are "enraptured" with everything.
23 July 2022
I guess that's how they have to be, to propound their theories. I'm not saying some of those theories aren't correct, to some degree, but still... some of their conjectures are way out on the fringes of all of it.

Never answers, merely enthusiastic theorie and speculation. Same stuff, over and over, it's becoming rather boring.

They certainly expended plenty of blanks!

Quite possibly some of the most ridiculous gunplay/gunfights I've ever watched in a movie.

I'm sure the armorers had a great time on this set. I need to check the bullet count for this one!

Jeff Bridges plays the role perfectly!
16 July 2022
There are few shows on television that are (for me) must watch. This is one, and Dark Winds is the other.

All the actors, in both these shows, are superb. They deserve highest accolades, as do the networks and everyone involved, for producing these shows. May they continue for as long as possible!

Just mots (more of the same)
15 July 2022
These are getting boring, seriously. I think this franchise has seen better days. But as long as it draws people to the theaters they'll keep cranking them out. This series is on the same path out as Marvel's Thor franchise.

Nothing lasts forever.

Hmmm, remains to be seen how this season goes.
12 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Just a couple of episodes so far. I can't say I'm as impressed as I'd hoped. Never particularly fond of Roaring 20's stuff. At this point, we'll have to watch and see how matters go. Color me bored.

Seriously? Was this somebody's film school project?
10 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
IMHO, this one's just plain bad. Terrible, really

I generally enjoy movies with Guy Pierce, that's usually.

He must've been hard up for a paycheck. Or he helped finance this one, hoping for a better payday.

The acting seems to be by a bunch of "wannabe's", and some "never were's".

And using an obvious rental van as the "armored" car? Talk about "low budget", they must've broken the "piggy bank" to fund this one!

Lost in Space (2018–2021)

The more I watch...
3 July 2022
Show started up and I thought I had reasonable expectations. But I was wrong in this regard.

As it continues to play out it sucks worse than I could ever imagine.

All in all, it's rather pedestrian fare. They just move from one unanticipated crisis to the next.

The writers and producers need to go back and become better skilled in their respective professions.

That, or they're just beginning their careers and haven't developed any of those as yet.

Dunno about this version of the franchise.
3 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Not impressed with Episode 1, Season 1.

The "new" Dr. Smith is a female version, and seems as reprehensible as the male version, perhaps more so. Time, and scripts, will tell that tale.

Plenty of special effects, which seems to be the way of most things these days. Plenty of CGI, of course.
