so bad, so very bad.. josh peck's career peaked with drake and josh, and that's fine. that's not important, but just sets the ground level for acting expectations. when coupled with ben kingsley you figure that they'll somehow reach a basic level of quality. unfortunately kingsley's new york accent attempts are so unbelievable and vary between takes, it just kills it. speaking of accents, method man, wow! the real nail in the coffin for me was the audio levelling. there is just no vocal clarity coming through making the entire movie fall flat, except for the music which comes through - not all of which is period precise due to slight remixing.
started writing this before seeing the beach scene just now, that was pretty funny.
Love this movie, even though it's not Christmas related it still gets in the rotation during the holidays. From the writers of Pete & Pete, it has all the classic elements you'd expect from any one of their episodes. Chevy Chase plays a down on his luck weather man, father to the main characters (think of Hal as elder Pete and younger sister Natalie as younger Pete.) It even has a cameo appearance by Iggy Pop, who so often dropped in as James Mecklenberg, the father of Little Pete’s best friend Nona. Chris Elliott rounds out the "Stars" of Snow Day as Roger the Snowplowman. Typical villain who is determined to ruin the day for all the kids!
Great watch on a snowy day for any Pete & Pete fan, or anyone who is willing to watch with a nostalgic state of mind.
The director/writer appears to have lost their train of thought on what the message or reveal was supposed to be. That or there was a severe breakdown in translation from script to film. Either way this film leaves a lot of questions around the events which took place, questions that will never have answers.
GET PUMPED!! Season 2 is almost here, can't wait. Of all the renewals Netflix has on offer right now I'm most excited about Flaked. Will Arnett's portrayal of this character is so true to life it is scary. If you've ever lived in Venice Beach or that surrounding area you know Chip. Now it's time to shine, take back the hood!
Are you kidding me?! Again with the 10 episodes! This show deserves so much more time in a season. Though, maybe that's what makes it so good. Short and to the point, each episode is packed with thrills and drama. Can't wait for Season 4 which is already confirmed.
It lived up to every expectation I had and much more. I loved the movie as a youth and this series has brought out a new perspective rather than just rehashing some remake of a classic. I had to watch this episode twice due to the amazing narrative which at first watch I thought was just part of what I was watching. It wasn't, it's basically two episodes in one.
Hilarious if you view it in that light, reminded me of Evil Dead.
Cockneys and Zombies, brilliant! Lot's of great actors put together for a seriously silly flick, well worth the watch.
Easily one of the best shows out right now. I'm truly sad it was only 10 episodes but the best shows usually are short just to keep us wanting more. It could be my ties to growing up in the area but the characters and plot were so driven that I was hooked.
This might have been edgy 10 years ago, but we're on the other side of this now.
one of the best love stories i've ever seen. and it's welsh, how brilliant is that!
Powerful episode. Love is so fragile and rare when you reach an age and life experience level, to meet someone new to share it with is special.
Wow, do I really have to keep watching this? 10 minutes in and I'm ready to do ANYTHING else.
Loved the movie, this is just a really drawn out version of it so far.
How in the heck is this show getting such a low rating? Does everyone just think it is too Parks and Rec, Trailer Park Boys or Letterkenny et al to just give it a chance on its own? Ask me, it is pretty amazing. You have to willingly treat it as a standalone product. Sam Straley is hilarious in this role. Aya Cash tries to step out of her type casting, but it is a hard achievement for all us You're The Worst lovers. Seann Williams does an excellent job as well as the rest of the cast.
Too many period inaccuracies within the dialogue took me out of the movie watching experience. This, coupled with mannerisms that are more likely to be seen in the last 20 years instead of the 80's made it a difficult watch. I can't say for sure who is to blame for that, the writers, the director, Michael B. Jordan or all of the above.
All that said, the subject matter was more compelling than anything. That alone was enough to evoke emotion.
I've seen a lot of unbelievable moments in the show that required suspension of disbelief, and I am all too willing to allow it. However, the shoot out in "the dump" was just over the top for me. The speech to follow by the trash lady leader was trite at best.
I'm pretty much just watching this show out of habit now. It's gone downhill in a big way.
B-List actors make a Live Action film of PUBG.
Lack of character depth coupled with a weak copy of an already told story made this extremely difficult to watch. It seems targeted towards newly christened SW fans, which is odd considering the timing of this release. The Force Awakens was a great re-boot to the series, though sadly it seems to have signaled the end of a cycle for those of us who started with the original trilogy. To all the newcomers, you are likely in for a treat and should enjoy this movie and those following it.
Well I guess it's original... oh wait, it's kinda 12 Monkeyeque if you think about it.
5 episodes deep and just getting tired of watching it. Really had to push through the last few episodes to get here, not worth the effort.
Could have easily been half the length. The minimum running time for a feature length film is 40 minutes, this one should have come in at around 50-70.
It's pop-coin mate.
Interesting list, haven't heard of most of this stuff. Looking forward to digging into it.
I'm a sucker for this kinda flick and Mike & Dave delivered on every front.
Honestly didn't expect much from this movie, the opening song just about killed my enthusiasm so I had to skip the first 3 minutes. Shortly after I was busting a gut laughing. There were more than a handful of scenes that made me laugh hard and for that it was worth watching for sure.
This is my guilty pleasure show. The first season knocked it out of the park. Timing, characters, outlandishness, it had it all. Steadily dropping off since then, but I'm in for the long haul and I can't escape!
really bad, like horribly awful suck bad.
I think in the lawyer scene (12 minutes in) Jake is wearing the same fur lined jacket he wore in brokeback.
Best episode yet, by a long mile.
Really takes a while to get going, but worth the watch.
