It Chapter Two (2019)
"Do you want to just leave?"
It started with yawning, and was quickly followed by nodding, and then snoring... My wife had finished all she wanted of our movie popcorn, and I had sucked down the candy within minutes of the movie starting which left us with nothing more interesting to do.
Wife: "do you want to just leave?"
Me: "I payed for it, I want to watch it."
10 minutes later...
Wife: "wake up, let's just go, this is boring"
We stayed, and both napped off and on, but managed to make it to the credits, I have no idea how. What I saw of it was just garbage... It had nowhere near the impact of the first film.
Lights Out with David Spade (2019)
Some Simple Tweaks Needed
The format is great, the music is great, the guests are amazing, love the yellow chairs. It would be 90% better if they removed the leathery faced twelve year old with the blonde moustache who wasted most of the show pushing corny puns, and bad dad jokes.
You wouldn't necessarily even have to replace him, you could change the title to Lights Out Without David Spade, and that would be perfect, or maybe hire Busy Phillips, that'd be great, thanks!
Moonlight (2016)
I wanted to like it.
I wanted to like this movie, I really did. But it was unwatchable. Not because of the content (which is what a lot of the reviewers seem to have a problem with) but because of the way it was filmed.
The camera shakes, jerks, spins, rocks, and bobs, and every single shot is a close-up, causing the background to be a mostly out of focus blur. The end effect, for me at least, was a constant sense of nausea, coupled with headache inducing eyestrain.
I had to listen to the movie with my eyes closed because it was so poorly filmed, and that ruined the whole experience for me. If the film had been made with a steadier hand on the camera, I think I might've been able to enjoy it.
Hopefully the distributor will consider applying a steadicam post-production filter for the post-theatrical release.
All Girls Weekend (2016)
Not watchable
You know how there is this pretense upon which we call feature length pictures which are important or exceptionally good "films", those that are merely entertaining "movies", and those that are neither "videos"? We need another name for this caliber of picture. Whatever this should be called, it is an example of the worst stuff available in that category. One of the actors is barely intelligible. All of the actors performances are stilted and feel disjointed from sentence to sentence. I don't think one could even watch this ironically. Even with MST3K voice overs you wouldn't be able to enjoy it. There are plenty of examples of better produced content on YouTube which didn't even have budgets, directors, writers, or even actors really.
Ghostbusters (2016)
So sad
Despite more than adequate performances by the main cast the film is truly difficult to watch, and even more difficult to laugh to. The problem isn't that the Ghostbusters are women, it is the truly awful writing and production. The movie is basically a steady progression of placement adverts, cameos, and homages interspersed with underwritten gags and jokes trying to mask a massive failure to create a plot. In the end, it was impossible for the women to inhabit the characters because they were merely a veneer over a rehashing of a style of comedic acting that is more stale than the Ghostbusters franchise itself. So to Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Kristen Wiig, and Leslie Jones: if by some miracle you are reading this, don't take any scat over this movie, it was Dan Ackroyd, Ivan Reitman, Amy Pascal, Katie Dippold, and Paul Feig's fault this movie scat the bed.
Super Fun Night (2013)
I -really- want to like this show, but...
I love Liza Lapira and would love to see her in a vehicle of her own, preferably one where she plays a character different from the one she is always cast in.
I love the way Lauren Ash's character is slowly coming to grips with her homosexual tendencies. It would be nice if the show handled it in a more authentic, less cliché riddled fashion than everything else in the show. She has the potential to become more than a one dimensional foil.
Speaking of foils, how many does Rebel Wilson really need? Literally every character in the show acts as a foil, including her own (the main) character. Rebel Wilson's appeal is completely suffocated by the premises foisted upon her character by the terrible writing.
Rebel Wilson is great when she is allowed to be confident, funny, full of life, and she has a sexy as hell Australian accent. She is living proof that being skinny does not equal being strong or sexy. Every inch of what is great about her has been stripped away because apparently the writing staff never got past middle school, you know back when people could just point and say "You're fat ha-ha" and all the other imbeciles would laugh as well.
To summarize: this great potential cast is being squandered in all the wrong ways. Are there even any writers, or is a room full of half-wit execs just throwing darts at a cork-board of bad plots while blindfolded?
The Neighbors (2012)
Something Is Missing
I love the way the main cast meshes, especially the kids. I love the concept behind the show, especially the setting provided to work in. So why am I almost certain that we will never see a second season? It has to come down to the writers, the plots are kitschy and laborious, and try as they might to develop new aspects of the characters, they remain incredibly shallow. It appears to me that whoever is behind the series is afraid that the 'new and shiny' of aliens coexisting in a suburban environment (how many seasons long was A.L.F.?) is going to wear off, so we have to be thoroughly trounced with it at every opportunity.
If they can't get on with the show and start making the plots a little more engaging, the characters are going to drown in inanity.
