Another entry in the sea of high school warzone action/dramas. Baldwin in pretty solid in it, as the former gang member who is now going to take on all the toughs for the good of the school. It's decent entertainment if you're looking for one of these, but ultimately it's a pretty forgettable entry in the genre.
Okay, well that was confusing. The most notable storyline in this episode is the one involving the maths tutor, well specifically the maths tutor and the vicar.
Good lord woman why are you so.... and I struggle to find another word for this but stupid. Just one stupid moment flipped the entire path of the story for a character who honestly was amazing before then.
When you know someone so well why would make the presumptions she makes. Being shocked at CP I get. That's awful stuff I can't imagine. But assuming that Ben your math student is gleefully and casually taking ownership of it is ridiculous. The worst part is that in spite of the fact that his father is a vicar she can't imagine any other outcome than it's Ben's "He told me from his own mouth". Now Harry is also a moron for being unable to explain a simple concept like "it belongs to a parish member" without going through three fumbles. Just explain. How this ended up with her bleeding in your basement is beyond belief.
This movie was probably better than it had any right to be. John Cena is as likeable as he usually is, and Alison Brie brings credibility to the film. While it may seem like a throwaway action comedy, there is a decent amount of depth to the story. I enjoyed it.

Another great season. It really steps up the emotional component of Jack Reacher which isn't something I didn't know I needed, wanted or was willing to tolerate.
It kinda says something about jail, that, in this show, this dude is facing being imprisoned. Having already been there, he decides he'd rather blow his brains out than go back. This is presented casually. The show doesn't see this as exceptional, barely noteworthy. The average viewer just understands this. It doesn't need to be explained. That says something kind of terrifying about our society. His crime to go back was kidnapping. It's not like he hurt the kid or killed someone.
It's fine. Nothing special yet. Justin is ruggedly handsome enough. The secondary team is compelling enough to meet minimum standards. We have his weekly tropes of fighting for money now and "Contract becomes legally binding upon success" etc.
If you have a gap in your line up this is competent enough to fight for a spot. We'll see how it looks three episodes in. Right now could go either way.
There is a fantastic joke at the endwhen the vampire next door starts to hypnotize the wife but it's not worth watching the entire movie for. It doesn't even have the legs to stand against the original A Haunted House. Unfortunately it's just empty.
People are disappointed become they are expecting what they saw in the movie, a comedy. I liked this episode.
I was just waiting for the “but did you die tho?” Line and it never came, shame
It's a really well done show. I just don't care about it. It's nothing they've done wrong. All the parts are there but Loki is just a character who is somehow less interesting than Iron Man or any of the avengers outside of Hulk preMCU. This is like the opposite of Hawkeye where there was a character I didn't like but the show was very engaging and made me care for it. Loki is ostensibly a better show, bigger budget, longer runtime, more big names in the cast but, ehh.
It's all well put together and in the end I just still don't care.
one of the funniest murder of the show. I mean there have been some fun murders this season. Real 'final seasons' stuff. But the one here is just so chuckle free.
That said Carie-Anne Moss's development has been excellent.
It's goofy enough. It's just not fun enough. It'll probably get more fun with a second watch. The plot is a mess. Barely comprehensible. I mean there are three different antagonists. The nepo baby kids are... well fine. Johnny Depp's daughter and Kevin Smith's daughter are entertaining enough. Smith's direction is on point. I really like the visual style of the movie in some part (character vignettes) and less so in other (the Bratzi explosions) but with a net positive.
I think the movie just needed to trim off some of the fat and stick with one primary antagonist and really minimize the other two to shadows of what they are now. and even for a goofy throwaway film this could have been something interesting.
No seat belt, no helmet and I've never heard anyone pronounce Vi that way. What about Vim?
A few other things than this show is have done the same sort of weird tech. I think we're in this weird age where tech issues are represented more accurately, but tech is still represented Awfully. I remember earlier one of the big kings of tech still picks his password to be a date that personally significant to him. No one does that.. especially not the tech elite. I mean men that especially not people who are actually technically literate. The tech elite are a bunch of morons who just have money but anyone who knows any technology know if you don't put your birthday as a password
What the?
There's a C-plot line that has Kylie who was working three jobs suddenly define her happiness as finding one job that she can be loyal to. It's so hilariously a transparent anti-"Quiet Quitting" message. They inserted the whole plot line to say that people who work multiple jobs can't find happiness even though they're making more money and so they should quit the jobs and just find one job and be loyal to it.
That is an unexpected level of Copaganda.
Classic cop throwing garbage charges on someone to get information out of them but the cop in that situation is a HERO. She does this in spite of the fact that he's fighting custody battle and would lose custody of his kids. BECAUSE he could lose custody of his kids. Cops will separate children and parents just for funsies. And they portray this as heroic.
A fun little short
If I wanted to be trite I'd compare this to the infamous Pixar scene that opens up their movie Up but if instead of like 7 minutes it was 30 minutes. Maya and Fred make an interesting couple.
Strong opening for the inheritor of the Percy Jackson curse.
I don't even know if there's a curse or anything but yeah solid solid work. Great adventure vibes and most importantly it manages to stand up on it's own distinct from the previous adaption. I do feel like Percy's mom is getting undersold but the two episode premiere give great confidence that this will be another successful adaption.
An interesting pilot. Not to attack it but most pilots go for flashing and attention grabbing. This is much more methodically paced. A criminally underused Idris I hope gets more personable later. There's some iffy blocking in some places but it mostly works. It doesn't break credulity or anything.
You know for what started as a simple crime procedural. This is spiraling again into some really ethically dark situations. I'm officially calling the pilot bad. It's just a bad episode because these are just fascinating stories.
This is not Guy Ritchie's best movie.
It's not Guy Ritchie's best movie starring Jason Statham.
It's not even Guy Ritchie's best movie featuring a sleazy, cockney-accented Hugh Grant who loves an outdoor barbecue grill.
But it is Guy Ritchie's only movie with Aubrey Plaza.
(Also, Josh Hartnett is freaking hilarious.)
This episode feels like they set it up to be interesting but ended up reductive. But that's just storytelling. I'm not a fan of this particular story. Previously we were told that just because something looks like a monsters doesn't mean it is. It kinda felt specifically like a hint that Medusa was a victim (and she is) in need of sympathy for what happened to her and not revulsion for how she looks. And yet we have Medusa who saves the children and ends up with her head cut off. Almost like we could have just judged her by her monstrous appearance in the first place.
First of all, there's so much nudity in this movie. It made me uncomfortable, because none of it with maybe the exception of Amanda Seyfried was necessary. In the end, we have a movie I thought would be deeper, but ended up being a far far more pedestrian mystery thriller than I anticipated. As a result it kinda worked. I never expected things to turns out as they did because I never imagined this movie would settle so low. It sounds like a back-handed compliment and it sort of is, but I did end up enjoying the movie.
The concepts aren't 100% original ( I watched an animated film called Luck a while ago, had a lot of similar concepts - not saying it's the same, but still. There are other examples as well.)
However, I enjoyed this. Would I watch it again? Maybe not. Is it incredible... No. It's got a good cast, a fun story, and the effects aren't egregiously bad. In fact, I thought they were fairly good, which is not too surprising coming from Jim Henson Co.
The main co-stars were cute together. I enjoyed the little budding romance they shared.
Overall, it was a nice, chill movie to watch that didn't make me upset about anything after I woke up, and allowed me to distract from my crippling physical pain, as much as media can do that. That's always a plus for me in this world.
Take out Jennifer Lopez and place in Liam Neeson for Taken 4... Or Tom Cruise for Jack Reacher 3. The negativity stops immediately.
This was enjoyable throughout. A spiritual successor to Haywire, in my eyes. U flustered, a strong female protagonist with an emotional depth that is belittled by a perfunctory script.
Concentrate on whether you want to turn it off and you'll discard all the negativity. It runs strong and has plenty of plot to keep it ticking along. The action reminded me of the last Craig Bond.
Dont underestimate this. It's a solid watch.
7.5/10
It's fine but it ironically does exactly what Rowan calls out at the end - gives a Hulu special to the white girl. Predictable and had no point. If this had been Rowan's movie it might've been something.
Here's a new cozy crime investigation series with a bunch of familiar faces, and oh, look.....it's Erika Christensen from 20 years ago Swimfan! all grown up and lookin' fine :smiley:
To me it takes a few easy on the eyes cast members, an acceptable plot, professional videography and comfortable lighting to decide on whether I'll be moving forward with the show or not. I'm all cozied up with this show....let's see how it'll hold up.
I'm not a movie buff by any stretch, I won't claim to hold knowledge in writing or rant about the scientific names of minerals. I'll just say the movie was blah. I don't even get where people claim it looked amazing visually, it just looked like a crapload of cgi to me.
The story itself is so weak I found myself bored for more then half of the 2 hour plus movie. The bad guys attack and win the first battle but the good guys regroup and win the war.... Isn't that every episode of the A-Team? Not one time does the movie surprise you with a turn of events outside your expectations. Don't get me started on the cartoonishly tough military leader or the final fight scene where the bad guy tells the good guy what he's about to do. How classic. I'm sure the fanboys will flame the hell out of this as apparently some see this movie as life changing. If this movie changed your life you need to get out more.
The cop from Resident Alien is her father who is a cop. Can’t that actor get any other role?
The movie was slow and boring. People are calling Isaac's acting award worthy but I would call it "one note". He literally has one tone, one look and little to no actually acting. He doesn't act but instead moves through the movie like an emotionless zombie. It's not a casino heist movie and has little to no actually gambling suspense or action. At its core its actually a movie about military torture but ultimately fails at having a worthwhile message about the subject because the main characters just want to continue the cycle of torture and revenge. I just didn't dig it at all. Also the music and score just didn't work for me. Moments that needed some score were totally silent and random moments had bad music that didn't fit at all and had random breathing noises overplayed throughout.
