Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie (2016)
Absolutely Not Fabulous
I've been a fan of the original TV series and decided to finally check out the movie.
I was expecting the same crazy, funny antics as the TV show, but instead got Eddy having a midlife crisis and spending (misleading) sporadic "quality time" with her granddaughter Lola (Jane) while Patsy did what she did best, being herself.
There was little of the interactions between Eddy and Saffy fans are used to and an unaccustomed semi-seriousness to the whole thing.
It was, suffice to say, very lack luster and the few funny cameos from some of the series regulars couldn't even help the movie in any way.
The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020)
It Could Have Been Something Else
I wasn't very impressed with the show and thought it would have been better if it had been a prequel to The Haunting of Hill House, told the stories of the ghosts trapped in the house and how they viewed the Crain family.
Instead, we get a British ghost story about orphans and the affairs that the staff have with one another.
Godzilla (1998)
Horrible
The first time I watched this knock off, I was 14 years old and I thought it was terrible then.
Twenty one years later, I still think it's terrible.
Even my young nephews know that thing isn't Godzilla (the youngest calls it "Rex" because he thinks it's from Jurassic Park).
The production company should offer refunds to anyone who saw the movie when it first came out or in the years since.
The Lords of Salem (2012)
Confused
I liked all of Rob Zombie's early works (House of A 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects, Halloween and Halloween 2. 31 was okay), but The Lords of Salem had me questioning his mind set .
The movie started out strong, but quickly turned into a jumbled mess that, by the end, had me asking the TV,
"What in the world did I just watch? And why did I watch it?"
I would buy it to add it to my collection, but it's not a movie I'll watch again any time soon or in the future.
Everybody Loves Raymond: The Family Bed (1998)
Parents Who Can't Say "No"
This episode wasn't very funny, if anything, it was irritating.
Raymond and Debra aren't getting any sleep because their daughter won't sleep in her own bed.
Instead of putting their foot down, they coddle the little girl and continue to lose sleep.
This episode is a perfect example of parents who can't say No to their child because they don't want to upset her.
Sky (2015)
A good, if slow moving, love story with a melancholy surprise, shocking bomb shell and unanswered ending
The only reason I first watched the movie was because it stars Norman Reedus, and I love him on The Walking Dead and in The Boondock Saints movies, but soon grew to enjoy it.
"Sky" moves a little too slow, but there is no denying the attraction between Reedus and Kruger. The bug bombshell is when when Diego (Reedus) finally tells Romy (Diane Kruger) that he's dying from cancer caused by exposure to depleted uranium (apparently during his time inthe military, a subject mentioned once and then never again) and after making love (or trying to), Romy has her own secret to admit: She's pregnant with his child.
They fight, but make things work, and several months later, Diego is sicker and Romy in the middle months of her pregnancy.
He finally admits he loves her and tells her to tell their son that he was always wanted by his father.
Diego appears to sleep and the next morning, Romy leaves the bedroom and walks into the living room, then outside to join a 10 year old boy, Diego, Jr.
The end sequence is of mother and son playing in their yard, then walking across the desert.
That's where you're left with questions.
Did Diego, Sr. die the night he made his request to Romy or did he live long enough to see his son enter the world?
12 Rounds 3: Lockdown (2015)
Character backgrounds lacking
I enjoyed the first two installments of the 12 Rounds franchise, and 12 Rounds 3 was pretty good as well, but I think that instead of starting the movie off the way it did (with Burke and his crew taking out the character of George Fremont), they should have started the movie off with the incident that lead to Detective Shaw (Ambrose) being removed from active duty then going into the death of Freemont. You don't know much about Shaw other then he was cleared in the death of his partner, Ray and that he was once partners with Burke. A little background brings a character to life, and even though the movie is packed full of action, it lacks that spark of life a characters past also brings to the screen.
