A Good Day to Die Hard (2013)
Franchise Killer
I loved Die Hard and Die Hard 2 and 3 were almost as good. What a great trilogy it was. The fourth Die Hard was a pretty bad one but still watchable, even though the action, writing and comedy got really, really stupid. The jet scene alone pretty much lost me. But I came back for this fifth Die Hard and it is so, so much worse than I even feared. I still give it a 3 because I'm comparing it to other bad action movies and it is better than say a lot of straight to video Steven Seagal movies etc, but this is total garbage compared to the other Die Hards. They either need to shelve this series or do a much, much better job of getting back into the spirit of the first one because this is just crap.
Battle Creek Brawl (1980)
Fun Jackie Chan Flick
This is a fun Jackie Chan flick. It's from the 80s and the movie quality is from that era and kind of cheap looking. But young Chan is great in this old comedy and the action scenes are top notch with Chan doing his own stunts like always and showing off some great moves. This is a really fun one!
Guns of Diablo (1964)
Young Bronson
This isn't one of the greatest westerns of all time but this is an old fifties Bronson western when he was much younger and very early in his career. If you like the classic era cowboys-and-Indians westerns you'll be sure to like this one. Bronson is great and the story's a good one.
The Man Who Knew Too Little (1997)
Hilarious and Under-rated!
This movie is hilarious and under-rated! Bill Murray is amazing as a guy who's a goofball but who also, believing his brother has given him a birthday present of a fake role-playing game to solve a pretend mystery, falls into a real life spy adventure and fumbles his way through actual life-threatening situations to be a hero. It sounds simple but Murray is at his very best as a comedian here and there are tons of hilarious moments. It's too bad this movie is so overlooked by people!
Video on Trial (2005)
The Greatest Much Music Show of All Time
This is the best show Much Music ever made and it is not even close. They used to make some other good shows too but this one is the one that had us tune in to watch it twice a week with that time memorized as "Video on Trial Time"... we would meet at a place, usually mine, and have to watch it and laugh our heads off. Ron Sparks, Debra DiGiovanni, Boomer Phillips, these people should have a statue in front of that building. Best Much Music show ever and one of the best Canadian shows ever hands down, nothing on Much Music competes with it today and that just makes me sad. All hail Video on Trial.
Mystery Science Theater 3000: Reptilicus (2017)
Awful!
If you want to see how bad this reboot of MST3K is then look no further than this, their first new episode. It's terrible, the riffs and writing are terrible, the hosts are terrible... please don't make any more of these! Do another reboot. Fix all the mistakes if you can.
Mystery Science Theater 3000 (2017)
Horrible, Horrible, Horrible!
This show takes a huge dump all over the original MST3K then eats a platter of tacos and goes back for more. This show is unfunny and not only doesn't add to the original series or live up to it, it ruins my memories of it. The new talent is not that at all because they don't have the talent, not for this anyway. I'm a big fan of Day and Oswalt but there are just awful in this. Seriously I love you and will watch other stuff you do but please stop making and ruining this show. It may not even be their fault because the writing is so awful, the riffs and the moments with the hosts/mads are all just plain awful. Everything about this show is worse and none of it works, not a single thing.
How on earth is this rated so high at between 8 and 9 out of 10, that's an A-plus! There's no way this show is anywhere near that. The reviews are mostly bad, like mine obviously is, so I don't know if fan boys are up to shenanigans or just automatically giving this ratings of 10 just because it is a Mistie show, but this show is garbage and needs to be treated as such or they will never fix the problems.
Cube Zero (2004)
Ruins the Original Cube
The original movie Cube was a great sci-fi piece, even though it was pretty low budget. It was so good they made sequels which is unfortunate. Cube 2 was really bad and nothing more than a rehash of the first film. Then this movie, Cube Zero came along, which is a sequel/prequel, and they made the right decision to get outside the Cube a little bit and look at the people running it a little, but overall the movie is EVEN WORSE than Cube 2 and I don't say that lightly because Cube 2 was garbage.
There are a couple good lead actors in this but they have nothing to work with. The script is total garbage and the supporting actors are pretty bad, particularly the laughable Jax and also Meyerhold who is literally annoying every single second he is on screen even when he is not talking.
This movie just plain sucks, you've been warned.
Seriously just watch the first one and you will love it, the sequels do nothing other than ruin it, and this is the only movie franchise (including Star Wars prequels) and TV series (including current Simpsons seasons) I have ever said that for. Ever.
Paradise PD (2018)
Uninspired
To the reviewer who said this show is a "copy and paste" effort and uninspired, you have hit the nail on the head. It's not the worst animated show I've ever seen but it's one of the worst, and it is definitely the most unoriginal. This is a terrible effort and a terrible show. The writing, voice acting and even animation is just crap.
Comedy Inc. (2002)
Not Very Good Sketch Comedy
This show is not very good. I like a couple of the guests they had on sometimes but the writing is very bad and the sketches were way too long, it also just looked very cheap, and the other comics are not very good on this.
That's So Weird! (2009)
I Liked It
This is a sketch comedy show for kids and as it is I liked it. It's in the spirit of You Can't Do That on Television but not as good as that but still good. The cast and skits are hit and miss but the show moves along briskly so the bad ones don't bother me so much.
Michael: Every Day (2011)
Kind of Boring
This show is kind of boring. I think the stories are decent but the jokes just aren't very funny and the characters aren't very good either. I like the psychiatrist actor a lot, seen him in a lot of things, but the other guy just isn't very good and so much of the show is on him it is hard to get past it. The writing and acting (except the psychiatrist) are not very good.
Blind Fury (1989)
Amazeballs!
This movie is amazing. Not even joking. Rutger Hauer is always good in action movies but this is also a comedy and it's hilarious, still with good action scenes. He plays a blind Vietnam vet who is rescued after a bomb goes off in his face then taught how to be a sword expert. There's lots of great jokes throughout and not just "blind stuff" and better than other action comedy movies. I know it sounds stupid but check it out.
Men with Brooms (2002)
Very Disappointing
The story is stupid and makes almost no sense. I love Leslie Nielsen, Paul Gross and Molly Parker and the other guy on Gross's team (from The Chris Isaak Show and that Tim Allen sci-fi comedy) is very funny. But the writing and direction are just so poor, and a lot of the other actors are just awful. I don't understand why this film needed to be made. All the characters are so shallow and unbelievable, and again the story makes no sense at all. They put a guy on a boat and he can't just get off it? Paul Gross forms a team of losers and they get beat by senior citizens but get to be in the national championship tournament anyway? What the hell is Leslie Nielsen's character even doing?
Three out of ten because I love and respect these actors but they all deserve better than this. And the TV version they did years later was somehow even worse.
Second City TV (1976)
Very Funny, Of Its Era
This was a very funny show and still is. The only down side is it looks and feels very old now and a lot of the sketches they did do not age well. They are joking about things I barely remember so anybody younger than me is probably not going to be able to follow a lot of the references and jokes. It was brilliant in its day though and for its time.
The Last Stand (2013)
Arnie's Back!
This movie is good.
It's not great. Not fantastic. Nothing super special about it. It's just good.
Arnold Schwarzennegger does the same typical job he always used to do playing the action hero. This time he is a sheriff and he has to stop the bad guys at the border. I do like that they don't try to hide his age in this.
Instead they actually use it as part of the story and he plays an ageing sheriff.
Worth watching for action/Arnie fans.
Match Game (2012)
Terrible Game Show
This game show is terrible! The only good thing about it is that the production values look OK, almost like they actually spent some money on making it unlike most shows on Canadian TV, especially game shows. But this show is really annoyingly awful. First off the host is always stumbling over words and just seems bored or boring, like he doesn't want to be there, he is not good at talking to the contestants or getting them to answer questions as if they are actually caring about being there at all. The guests on the show are awful. It seems like Sean Cullen and Deb from Videos On Trial are the two that are there every week and they are the most annoying people on earth. She won't shut up and is always running into other people's frames it's as if she is constantly shrieking "look at me look at me look at me look at me!!!" and Sean Cullen also talks constantly but instead of desperately pushing himself for the camera his just sings nonsense and makes up really weird things and clearly thinks this makes him hilarious. Sometimes he comes up with something funny but almost all of the time he's just shooting useless random **** out of his mouth. The other guests are also always terrible, like really terrible. The only thing they have to do is come up with an answer to a question so if they can't come up with one funny answer they can just put a real answer which I'm sure the contestants would like so they can actually get a match sometimes. But no they always get some actor from some other crappy Canadian show or some comedian and they always do the exact same thing, come up with the first sex act or body part they can think of and give that answer and expect everyone to laugh like they are a comedy genius. This show is just desperate and stupid and sad, there are almost zero laughs to be had and none of these people are interesting, even the contestants come off as bored and the contestants are the worst part of all of this show. Maybe it's because the host doesn't know what he's doing but they never say anything and when they do talk they're just mumbling stupid things and wanting to just get the show over with so they can win their prize which is also **** usually like fifty bucks or something. What a pathetic show! I wish I could stop paying taxes so they couldn't afford to make this ****.
