The Trades (2024)
Trading Down
Well all hope was lost early on and I was wondering if someone had thrown a spanner in the works.
Being a metal trades-person myself for 40 years I found the whole thing boring, the comedy as flat as steel plate. I have seen better humor on the workshop floor, heard better jokes in the smoko room, and had the pleasure of sorting it all at the pub after work where you learn more about life than anywhere else. This was obviously written by and apprentice who has little to no industrial experience, no life skills, and like all kids, thinks dumb S...t is hilarious.
It was so uninteresting I zoned out into old memories that were actually funny and inspiring.
It gets a star for including females in the Tradie mix and one for production values but the material is garbage on the workshop floor.
Apprentice... go see the store-man for me and get a left hand screw-driver, a bucket of sparks and a long weight(wait).... that's funny.
Sonny Days (2023)
Not amusing at all.
It was soooo BAD! I laugh at idiots on the street and in Bars but people acting like idiots does not play well in a movie. It was just sooo awfully weird, and not funny, so much so that I had to quit after 10 minutes and a little fast forwarding because It got no better.
The characters these actors were try to get us to laugh at were totally annoying the drivel they were spouting just made me wanna poke out my eyes and pierce my eardrums, then cut out my toung so I never have to say, see or hear the words "Sonny Days" ever again.
The Devil in hell might be the only buyer of this on DVD to use as a torture instrument so I gave 2 stars for that.
The Irrational (2023)
Irritational, No hotdog in the bun
The first episode feels like an 80's script dug up and given to a mediocre director, it's a bland plot that needs slightly better dialog..... and although the actors are pretty good, none are exciting/odd/different enough to carry the script..... it's just a big MEH! Fest, I'd rather watch a re-run of LIE TO ME a third time because the psychology in this just seems off and just plays on one tiny piece of the whole plethora of psychology ...... I got bored and nearly didn't finish it there's nothing new, exciting, riveting to hold my attention ..... I might watch the second episode but I DOUBT IT'LL GET BETTER.
