You Can't Run Forever (2024)
A Cinematic Masterpiece...
Rating: 10 and I'm totally not paid to say that.
"You Can't Run Forever" is nothing short of a cinematic revelation! This magnum opus, directed by the visionary Michelle Schumacher and penned with extraordinary finesse by Carolyn Carpenter and Michelle Schumacher, is a testament to the transformative power of storytelling.
J. K. Simmons delivers a performance for the ages, blending raw intensity with a depth of emotion that only a true master of his craft can achieve. His portrayal is so compelling, so utterly captivating, that it feels as though he's reaching through the screen to touch the very soul of the audience. Every line he utters, every glance he casts, is imbued with a profound gravitas that elevates the film to unparalleled heights.
Fernanda Urrejola is a revelation. Her portrayal is a symphony of nuanced emotion and unbridled passion, drawing viewers into her character's world with an irresistible force. Urrejola's performance is both heart-wrenching and inspiring, making her a luminous presence in every scene. She brings an authenticity and grace that is simply mesmerizing.
Allen Leech adds another layer of brilliance to this stellar ensemble. His performance is a masterclass in subtlety and charm, providing a perfect counterbalance to the intense drama unfolding on screen. Leech's ability to convey complex emotions with the slightest change in expression is nothing short of genius, making his character unforgettable.
Michelle Schumacher's direction is a triumph of cinematic artistry. Her visionary approach and meticulous attention to detail have crafted a film that is as visually stunning as it is emotionally resonant. Schumacher's ability to extract such extraordinary performances from her cast is a testament to her directorial prowess. The seamless interplay of narrative and visual storytelling she orchestrates is simply awe-inspiring.
The script, co-written by Schumacher and Carpenter, is an exquisite tapestry of brilliant dialogue and gripping narrative. It weaves a story that is as unpredictable as it is profound, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats while delving deep into the complexities of human nature and relationships. The writing is sharp, evocative, and profoundly moving.
"You Can't Run Forever" is a tour de force, a film that will undoubtedly stand the test of time as a hallmark of cinematic excellence. It is a shining beacon in the realm of contemporary cinema, showcasing the pinnacle of what film can achieve when every element aligns in perfect harmony. Bravo to the entire cast and crew for delivering an experience that is nothing short of perfection!
Outer Range (2022)
Look, SQUIRL!!!
Outer Range is an exercise in frustration, a series that tantalizes with potential yet ultimately collapses under the weight of its disjointed storytelling and interminable pacing. What begins as a promising blend of Western drama and supernatural mystery quickly devolves into an incoherent mess, where narrative threads are introduced only to be abandoned or stretched beyond reason.
The show's creators appear to have mistaken convolution for complexity. Rather than weaving a cohesive narrative, Outer Range meanders through a labyrinth of subplots and underdeveloped characters, each vying for attention but none earning it. The central mystery-a gaping, inexplicable void on a Wyoming ranch-should have been a compelling hook, but instead becomes a symbol of the series itself: an abyss of wasted potential.
Viewers are led down a path riddled with bizarre events and cryptic hints, yet any semblance of resolution or clarity is perpetually out of reach. Episodes drag on, padded with tedious dialogue and superfluous scenes that do little to advance the plot or deepen our understanding of the characters. It's as if the writers are improvising, throwing in random elements in the hope that something, anything, will stick.
Character development is sacrificed at the altar of this scattershot approach. Protagonists fluctuate between being enigmatically intriguing and frustratingly opaque, their motivations obscured by the relentless onslaught of red herrings and half-baked plot twists. Even the performances of a talented cast can't redeem the material they're given to work with, leaving viewers disconnected and disinterested.
Outer Range aspires to be a thought-provoking, genre-bending masterpiece, but ends up feeling like a patchwork of ideas pilfered from better shows, none of which are fully realized or effectively executed. The pacing is glacial, stretching thin storylines to their breaking point, demanding patience and perseverance from an audience that receives little in return.
In the end, Outer Range is a disappointing misfire-a series that confuses complexity with coherence, depth with disarray, and suspense with sluggishness. It is a journey into a narrative void, where time is lost and little is gained, leaving viewers to wonder if it was ever worth the trip.
Hit Man (2023)
Boring, uninspired, and done a thousand times.
"Hit Man" on Netflix attempts to blend comedy with crime in a concoction that's as awkward as a clown at a funeral. Directed by Richard Linklater, a name usually associated with thought-provoking dramas, this film feels like a misfire from start to finish.
Glen Powell stars as the titular "hit man", a character more reminiscent of a frat boy with a gun than a hardened assassin. His attempts at humor fall flatter than a pancake, relying heavily on tired slapstick and juvenile jokes that wouldn't even elicit a chuckle from a laugh track.
Adria Arjona plays his love interest, a role that feels about as necessary as a screen door on a submarine. Their romantic subplot is as forced and unconvincing as a Hollywood marriage, adding nothing of substance to an already lackluster plot.
Linklater's direction, usually known for its subtlety and depth, feels completely out of place here. It's as if he's trying to juggle too many genres at once, resulting in a messy mishmash of half-baked ideas that never quite come together. The pacing is as erratic as a squirrel on caffeine, leaving viewers wondering if they accidentally hit fast forward on the remote.
The comedy itself is as stale as week-old bread, relying on tired clichés and recycled jokes that were tired the first time around. Powell's attempts at comic timing feel as awkward as a first date, while Arjona's straight-faced delivery only serves to highlight the lack of humor in the script.
Overall, "Hit Man" is a swing and a miss for Netflix, offering little more than a cringe-inducing comedy that's as forgettable as yesterday's news. If you're looking for a laugh, you're better off rewatching old episodes of "The Office" or "Parks and Recreation." As for "Hit Man," it's a contract best left unfulfilled.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024)
Could of been a 7 but...
As the climax builds and tensions reach their peak, audiences are on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting a resolution that will tie up loose ends and leave them satisfied. But instead, they are treated to a twist so nonsensical, so utterly devoid of logic, that it leaves them scratching their heads in disbelief.
Without giving too much away, let's just say that the resolution involves a time-traveling banana and a parallel universe inhabited by sentient pineapples. Just kidding, that didn't happen, but it would have been better than what actually did. In a film that had previously grounded itself in a semblance of reality, the protagonists' decisions to solve their problems feels like a slap in the face to the audience's intelligence. It ultimately undermines the credibility of the entire narrative. I can't imagine what the writers were thinking so I'm not going to speculate, but in the end, I was rooting for 'Caesar'.
In conclusion, "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" is a captivating film with plenty to offer, but its dumbfounding ending leaves much to be desired. If you can overlook this glaring flaw, you'll find an entertaining ride through a world where apes rule, but if you're looking for a satisfying conclusion, you might want to look elsewhere.
Unfrosted (2024)
Unfunny Guy Makes Another Unfunny Movie
"Unfrosted" is a cinematic snooze-fest that proves Jerry Seinfeld should stick to the small screen. This film feels like a leftover, stale bagel that's been sitting out for far too long.
The premise? Seinfeld plays a washed-up comedian who's desperately trying to cling to relevancy by embarking on a nostalgia-fueled quest to revive the Seinfeld brand. But instead of delivering laughs, "Unfrosted" serves up a bland, half-baked attempt at humor that falls as flat as yesterday's soda.
Seinfeld's signature observational humor feels tired and forced, like he's trying to recapture lightning in a bottle from a bygone era. The jokes lack the wit and sharpness that made his TV show a classic, leaving audiences wondering if they accidentally stumbled into a stand-up set from the '90s.
The supporting cast doesn't fare much better, with performances that range from forgettable to cringeworthy. It's as if Seinfeld rounded up a bunch of his old buddies from the comedy circuit and hoped their mere presence would be enough to salvage this sinking ship.
Even the film's attempts at emotional depth feel shallow and insincere, as Seinfeld clumsily shoehorns in half-hearted reflections on aging and relevance between awkward attempts at humor.
Overall, "Unfrosted" is a stale, uninspired cash grab that should have stayed in the toaster where it belongs. Save your time and your money, and opt for a rerun of "Seinfeld" instead. At least then you'll get some genuine laughs.
Chief of Station (2024)
Exposition Cliche: The Movie
"Chief of Station," the latest attempt at espionage intrigue, is a forgettable cocktail of clichés and mediocrity, leaving audiences with a sour taste of disappointment. Aaron Eckhart, usually a reliable presence, struggles to breathe life into a tired script that feels like a rehash of every spy thriller you've ever seen.
The plot follows the predictable trajectory of a seasoned CIA operative (Eckhart) navigating the treacherous waters of international espionage, complete with double-crossings, femme fatales, and the obligatory ticking time bomb scenario. However, any semblance of tension or excitement is suffocated by the film's inability to break free from its formulaic shackles.
Despite its attempts to inject relevance with nods to contemporary geopolitical tensions, "Chief of Station" fails to offer any meaningful commentary or insight. Instead, it relies on tired tropes and shallow characterizations, reducing complex global issues to mere backdrop for its uninspired plot.
Even the action sequences, typically a saving grace for films of this genre, feel uninspired and lackluster. It's as if the filmmakers ticked off a checklist of obligatory set pieces without bothering to inject them with any genuine excitement or creativity.
In the end, "Chief of Station" is a forgettable addition to the spy thriller genre, offering little more than a rehash of tired clichés and missed opportunities. Save your time and money for something more deserving of your attention.
Sugar (2024)
This Sugar is bitter
Season 1 of 'Sugar' is a saccharine-coated disaster that leaves a bitter aftertaste. This melodramatic mess attempts to sprinkle some sweetness into the lives of its characters but ends up drowning them in a syrupy sea of clichés and predictable plotlines.
The show follows the lives of a group of supposedly lovable characters, each with their own set of sugar-coated problems. From the clichéd struggling artist to the misunderstood rich kid, 'Sugar' ticks off every tired trope in the book without bringing anything new to the table. It's like the writers raided a bargain bin of soap opera scripts from the 90s and slapped a fresh coat of paint on them.
The dialogue is as stale as last week's pastry, filled with cringe-worthy attempts at profundity that fall flat on their face. And don't even get me started on the acting. It's as if the entire cast attended the same overacting workshop and failed miserably. Every emotion feels forced, every line delivered with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer.
But perhaps the most egregious sin of 'Sugar' is its complete lack of self-awareness. It parades around like it's offering some profound commentary on the human condition when, in reality, it's just regurgitating tired clichés and recycled plotlines. It's the TV equivalent of a stale donut: sure, it might look appealing at first glance, but one bite reveals the disappointing truth lurking beneath the glaze.
In conclusion, 'Sugar' is a toothache-inducing trainwreck of a show that's best avoided unless you have a masochistic craving for cringe-inducing melodrama. Save yourself the agony and spend your time on something with a little more substance. Like watching paint dry.
Sting (2024)
What a wasted opportunity
The best part of this movie was the first few minutes, but it's a rocket slide downhill after that. I literally can't think of one redeeming thing about this movie. Everything about it is mediocre at best, but its glaring flaws ruin any possibility of getting a higher rating than two. The characters are annoying and unlikable. All of them. There's not one character in this movie that has any relatable qualities. The "dad" isn't likable. The daughter is insufferable. The mom is.... there? The exterminator, I guess, is supposed to be some kind of comic relief, but he isn't funny at all, like ever. You almost never see the spider, even at the end, you can barely make out any distinguishing features. The body count is abysmally small. It's not scary in the least. The acting is mid. The writing is terrible. It's barely even an hour and a half long, so it even barely qualifies as a movie. I literally couldn't wait for it to end, but I was hoping, at least, I would get to see something terrible happen to the family, but the movie couldn't even do that. I feel sorry for anyone who sees this and I hope the rest of your year goes better for you. We all deserve better than this.
Red Right Hand (2024)
Mediocre with a disappointing ending
I was excited to see this movie. Orlando Bloom and the guy who plays his brother have great chemistry and I enjoyed how they stuck together through thick and thin. And I thought the girl who plays his niece did a great job acting. Overall, pretty much everyone did a great job acting. It's shot well too. The production quality is great. I was enjoying the movie up until the third act, where I feel this movie really fell apart. It seemed like such a missed opportunity to get some satisfying, and revenge style death scenes when Orlando Bloom's character has to finally deal with Andie MacDowell's character. The final shootout everyone suddenly got Storm Trooper aim and none of the death scenes were satisfying. It all just felt off, like the director wasn't sure what the movie was or how to end it. Everyone just felt like they were flailing wildly and shooting at the wind hoping to get lucky enough to hit something and just when you think Orlando is going to bite the dust his daughter appears out of nowhere and saves the day. Then were met a short diatribe by the pastor and a final shot of Orlando Bloom and his niece and the movie ends. I think I understand what the directors and writer was going for, but I just don't think they executed it well. In the end, I just felt disappointed. I don't think this movie is a waste of time, but I do think that you'll forget about it after a few hours.
Dream Scenario (2023)
Dishonest Marketing
I was told that this movie is a comedy. Critics said that it was hilarious and that it gave them many roaring belly laughs throughout the film. I was in the mood for a comedy, so I decided to take their advice and see this film. I was ready too, after all I love me some Nic Cage.
The film starts out interestingly enough. I was interested in the characters and the premise and was eager to see where it was all going to go, but as the movie went on, I started to realize that nothing funny was happening and the questions started to leap out into my thoughts. "This is a comedy", I thought? NO, as the movie progressed, I learned that indeed, this is NOT a comedy. I don't know what this movie is, but I know it's not funny. In fact, it's kind of horrifying. Nic's character essentially does nothing wrong, and he has his entire life fall apart and is treated horribly by everyone because of some dreams they had, and the ending is just plain depressing. I felt lied to and cheated by dishonest critics after seeing this movie, so it gets a 1/10. If I hadn't been lied to and went in knowing what this movie actually is, it might have gotten a better score. After all, the actors did a great job. It's shot really well, and it did keep me engaged, but why the dishonesty? Why lie to get people in the seats? It doesn't make any sense to me.
Freelance (2023)
Watchable
Where do I begin? I suppose the movie starts out okay. We're introduced to John Cena's character, Mason Pettits, a special forces/lawyer who's unhappy at home and his job and is married to his wife, Alice Eve (Jenny Pettits), who doesn't love or appreciate him at all. His old war buddy (Christian Slater), who owns a private security firm, tracks him down and offers him a job to protect a journalist who is played by Allison Brie. Allison is tasked with interviewing President Venegas, but on the way to his estate they are attacked by a military outfit that is attempting a coup. This is where the story takes off, but this is also where I started to check out.
The director's directing of his actors is abysmal. The script is dreadful. The "comedy" feels forced and not funny. And the music score is overly loud and out of place. The "action" mainly consists of them running away and the bad guys having storm trooper aim. Allison Brie's character is there to just be an annoyance and further the dumb. The cinematography is good, but unfortunately having a movie that looks good is not something that makes watching a movie enjoyable if everything else is mediocre. The acting barely passes as acting, but I guess it does pass. I don't recommend seeing this in the theatre. It's something much more digestible as something you consume on a streaming platform. It passes the time, but you'll likely forget about it a few hours after seeing it.
Old Dads (2023)
That ending though...
If you saw the trailer for this movie, then you likely started watching this movie because, like me, you were ready for Bill Burr to do his thing and give a great social commentary on the ridiculous state of today's society. Which is exactly what Bill started the movie doing. Through the first and second half of the movie you're getting exactly what you came here for, and I was really enjoying myself. Even though the movie wasn't as funny as I hoped it would be, it was still a fun ride, and I was all on board. Everything was being set up perfectly for a terrific finish, but then the third act began, and everything veered off into a complete trainwreck and Bill does a complete 180 and blames himself for everything. He could have stuck up for himself, but instead, what we're all supposed to learn from this film is that Bill was wrong the whole time and it turns out he's the problem and is going to do much better from now on and gosh darn it he's really sorry about being so horrible to everyone. Now he gets to live happily ever after because he learned his lesson and will totally just accept the ever-changing world around him because that's what grown-ups are supposed to do. He had a chance to be bold, but he went full sellout for a "feel good" ending. Just sad. I was ready to give this movie a solid 7 out of 10, but that dumpster fire of an ending landed me on a solid 1 out of 10 stars. Awful. Just awful.
The Burial (2023)
Worth Watching, but...
I just got done watching this and I have to say it is definitely worth watching. Tommy Lee Jones did a fine job acting, but Jamie Foxx stole the show. There were some really enjoyable moments, especially when Jamie Foxx was on screen. I really wanted to give this movie a solid 7 out of 10 stars, but in the end, the court case the movie focused on was pretty uninteresting and I'm kind of tired of all the race stuff in movies and the ending was predictable. Were it not for Jamie Foxx's performance, I probably wouldn't have enjoyed the movie as much as I did and I probably wouldn't be recommending anyone see it. The weird thing about the ending though is the director handled it really poorly. The character's reaction was opposite of what you'd think their reaction would be and it just felt really odd and the tone of the movie suffered for it. I ended up deciding on a 6 out of 10.
M3GAN (2022)
Original, Inclusive and Empowering
I know it's traditional to write characters that are likable and relatable, so you care about what happens to them, but the brilliant writers of today are better than us dumb ol movie watchers, so they opted to write characters that are awful and completely unlikable and behave like no other human being in existence, so the audience doesn't care about what happens to them and heck, maybe even hopes something terrible might happen to them. In this totally original masterclass of today's writers, not one single character has a single redeeming quality so you can check out 20 minutes in and give up any semblance of caring about anyone and just sit back and relax while you wait for the eventual deaths to happen. Don't worry, there's some interesting social commentary to remind you that men are dumb and evil, so you won't be entirely bored while you wait. Every adult is stupid and awful and the child is a spoiled, unlikable brat. Yay! Turn your brain off and consume.
This is not without its positives, however. It is shot well, and the actors are serviceable and actually do a really good job at making you hate their characters. They made Chucky, um I mean, M3gan look real. Audio and sets are done well. Overall the production quality is what you'd hope for in a movie. This definitely a movie I wouldn't recommend unless you have some drinks or something to help you turn your brain off. Or maybe if you have some homework that needs to be done and you need something to play in the background.
Black Adam (2022)
A Masterpiece! Don't believe those toxic critics!
I had so much fun watching this movie! When Black Adam first appeared on screen and started floating, I got chills. And it just got better from there. I would go so far as to say that this movie is the greatest movie in the history of the universe! Pierce Brosnan was amazing and was perfect for the role of Dr. Fate. The action and CGI was the best I've ever seen. If you don't love this movie, then don't watch it, it's not for you. Cyclone and Atom Smasher weren't in this movie as much as I would have liked them to be, unfortunately, but they were so much fun and so funny when they were on screen! I can't believe the critics are review bombing this? Just turn off your brain, grab some popcorn and have fun. I would definitely recommend this masterpiece of film making!
Old Man (2022)
I couldn't take my eyes off the screen
This movie captured my attention from the start. Right away I started asking questions about what was happening and why. The old man, who is played by Stephen Lang, was an enigma and I wanted to know more about him and who Raskel was. Not long after the start of the story another man shows up at the old man's door claiming to be lost and in need of help, but the old man is paranoid and scares the heck out of him. The two characters get to know each other for most of the movie and the whole time I'm mesmerized and thinking that one of the two characters is going to kill the other, but which one? During that time I was really enjoying the movie, enough to give it a 8 or maybe a 9 out of 10, but then the big reveal happened and I didn't really like what happened. It brought my rating down to a 7. I thought the story was told very well. I thought the acting was really good. I liked pretty much everything about the production, direction, writing, sound, basically all the technical aspect of the movie were done really well, but that ending just wasn't satisfying at all. I would still recommend that people give this movie a watch, if not just for the story being told so well, but also because Stephen Lang is so captivating to watch in this movie.
Smile (2022)
If you don't think about it.
If you don't think about the plot holes and how normal people would behave, then this movie is pretty good. The problem is that I have a brain and I use it, so I didn't like this movie. This is one of those movies where in order for the movie to move forward, everyone has to behave in a way that would never actually happen. Trained psychologists have to be oblivious to the obvious. Cops need to be totally incompetent and oblivious as well.
The protagonist is extremely unlikable, but the movie tries to convince me that I should be rooting for her. This movie tells me that she's not crazy, but the character acts totally insane. There's a strange disconnect between what the movie wants me to think and what it shows me. There are jump scares that have nothing to do with the movie and come out of nowhere just for the sake of adding a jump scare.
To top everything off, it's extremely predictable and I saw the ending coming from a mile away. It wasn't scary either. I found everything quite boring. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone who's like me and can't turn their brain off. I gave it 3 stars because it's shot well enough and it had a foreboding atmosphere. The acting was okay. There were only a couple of times where I felt removed from the movie because the acting reminded me that I'm watching an actor instead of their character.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law: The People vs. Emil Blonsky (2022)
Man Bad
In this episode we're treated to more "Man Bad" and they even decided to take swipes at people reviewing the show in real life who don't like it and portray them as stupid and bad. This show has proven to be nothing more than writers projecting their delusions onto the viewer. It has to be one of the most unselfaware spectacles I have ever witnessed in my entire life. She-Hulk basically wins the case at the end of the episode because she's able to prove that the big bad man is so stupid and sexist that he of course would do something so stupid. This show is basically a one trick pony, in where they continuously beat the pony long after it's dead and then parade it's corpse around and then shove it down the audience's throat and think themselves as absolutely hilarious while they do it.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022)
It's exactly what you thought it would be
First, I would like to point out that gaslighting is the language of abusers. When someone tries to convince you that you're not seeing and hearing what you think you are, they are abusing you. I was looking forward to this show. The previews looked like they were going for a comic book accurate She-Hulk. The CGI looked okay in this. Not great, but okay. It is just a tv show after all and it's better than anything you're going to get on the Sci-Fy channel. The "comedy" in this is cringy. They make Hulk's struggles into a joke and basically call him weak and stupid for not being better at handling his emotions and She-Hulk is better than him in every single way. It's not subtle about it either. Captain America's character is attacked in the first few minutes of the first episode. I was so sick of being insulted after 22 minutes of it, that I just shut it off. I have absolutely no interest in being insulted for existing so I'm skipping the rest of the episodes.
Secret Headquarters (2022)
Soulless "Family" movie.
This movie seems to be targeted at 11 and Under aged kids with IQs in the single digits. Teens will find it cringe worthy and adults will find it nauseating. The kids in this movie would get everyone around them killed if this were ever to happen in real life. Thankfully it is just a movie. The "comedy" is Burp and Fart level. The special effects are okay and it's shot well enough, but the story is something you'd see on Nickelodeon's iCarly or something. This movie is just soulless and surface level and I think it's meant to just babysit your toddlers in front of the TV for an hour and a half. I don't understand why Hollywood spends so much money producing garbage like this or why they treat our kids like they're stupid and not worth the effort to make a quality film for them and their families to enjoy with them. This could have been something to share with my kids, but I don't want them to see it because it treats them like they're not worth the effort. And whoever made this movie definitely doesn't care if I enjoyed it.
Prey (2022)
It's exactly what you think it is.
I'm not going to spoil anything. I didn't like the film because it's exactly what I thought it would be. You're not going to be surprised either, because it's exactly the kind of film you feared it would be. The special effects are fine. The cinematography is fine. Native Americans speak english, and the French speak, um, French. Make it make sense, Writers!?
It tries and regurgitate the same forced agenda everyone is tired of hearing. The gore is all blurred out and/or obscured by something. It's just another lazy script with paint-by-numbers characters that's just here to lecture you. If I had millions of dollars, I'd sure spend it differently than who ever keeps making films like this. You're definitely not missing out on anything if you skip this one.
DC League of Super-Pets (2022)
What is an Animal Farm?
If you're ten or younger, you're probably going to enjoy this film. If you're an adult and taking your kids to this movie, be prepared for your kids to ask you what an animal farm is. I don't the writers of this movie gave a single thought to the dialog they are presenting. This film is lazy. From the animation, writing and directing to the acting and characters. I think that's the most offensive thing about it, is just the lack of caring about putting out a good product that you can be proud of. Adults are definitely going to have to turn their brains off until their kids start asking them to explain the "jokes".
The Lost City (2022)
Who was this movie made for?
Farts jokes? Wizzing in water? AND people getting killed? This movie is an exercise in cringe and cheese. It's shot well enough. The sound and production are fine. Heck, the acting is even decent. But the writing!? Holy moly, who approves this garbage? Someone literally gave these actors millions of dollars to say these lines, and film them for the general public to view and hear... WHY?! What is this garbage and who is it for!?
Outer Range: The West (2022)
I hated this show more and more with each episode
Just because you write words on piece of paper, doesn't mean you have to film it. A story is something to be told. It has a beginning, a middle and an end. Whoever wrote this garbage must have missed that in the first grade or just never went to school and grew up with rich parents who made it possible to get their writing published and then paid off some media mogle to film their ramblings. Definite won't be tuning in for season two. I didn't even bother to finish watching the final episode. I just couldn't take another second of twitboy's singing.
The Northman (2022)
RRRAAAAAAARR WOOF WOOF!!!
A unique tale of revenge where no one wins and everybody loses. I guess the director felt that screaming and howling would up the intensity of the film, but it just came off as weird and annoying. The cinematography was fine. The acting was fine. The plot was just plain stupid and ultimately pointless. The "good guy" is fine with murdering woman and children. A total alpha male until the writers need him to be a beta for the plot to advance. Why do the Vikings speak english, except when chanting? This film was just laughably dumb and the ending was just plain terrible. Recommended if you're drunk and just need something to make noise in the background while you play video games. Otherwise, skip.
