It was enjoyable to revisit this world as well as these characters, and the ability to make choices determining the path of the story adds an extra layer of fun. I completed it twice in one sitting to explore as many options as possible; it was uproarious the first time but less so the second time revisiting many of the same jokes, and there were far more dead ends than I expected, many of which were very amusing. Jacqueline could have been used better to participate in the main storyline, but otherwise this serves as a unique sendoff for the show.
2/10 TERRIBLE
My god this is bad….
I like Catherine Tate but she has created the most loathsome character ever!!!!
The jokes fall flat and are very dated, the situation comedy part is skin crawling bad and there’s not one likeable person in the show…
I forced my way through episode 1 and then did the same again for episode 2, hoping I could see so glimmer of hope.
It never came!!!!!!
I like the whole vibe to the story so far and the direction they could take it. I like how anyone can possibly be a skrull but honestly they could have did more leading up to this in the past movies. Kind of how Peter Parker said he was with Nick fury during no way home but it wasn’t really him. They could have did more with making Nick fury coming back to earth a big deal too.
One of those movies that's almost too unique to really be good, but maybe that's ok. It's still plenty entertaining. There's some fun, gory, zombie kills and the musical numbers are generally pretty great. It's got a weird, good, off-kilter energy. I wasn't particularly satisfied by the time I finished it, but I didn't regret my time with it either. It's certainly unique - unlike anything else I've ever watched.
I never knew I needed to see a Christmas zombie musical but I'm glad I did. Such a unique movie that doesn't always work but I love the idea. Plus most of the songs are great.
So deliciously, hilariously meta, especially as it piles on the layers towards the end. I imagine Salma Hayek having a grand old time delivering some of these lines lol "I am a dyslexic, talented actress with questionable English! ...Doesn't my asshole have any rights?!"
Season 2 topped Season 1! I really really liked this season, the plot twist halfway through and especially all the new characters like Olivia and my favorite: Esmé (I just love her!).
More unfortunate events, more Count Olaf, more singing, more evil plans, just more of everything!
But seriously, big thumbs up to Lucy Punch because she brought Esmé to life in the most IN way ;)
A nicer ending than the books. The book ending left me with more questions than answers. This ending is more satisfying. Yet still too faithful to the books ending. While it’s a more happy ending there’s still questions in the end that were never answered.
Spoiler warning: For instance. Season 1 teased us season long that the Quagmire parents were the Baudelaire parents. Yet, now that we know they aren’t. The writers wrote them out basically and they are never reunited with their children.
I guess since it’s a coming of age story. About children learning to not need the help from grown-ups and growing up. So just like the books. The Baudelaires and Quagmires aren’t reunited with parents that are teased to be alive.
I felt personally attacked when Charlie said “she’s not normal, she’s at the prime of her life with no boyfriend and no friends”
Did you check the anus? Ha! Walter asking what we all were thinking!
And I’m curious, was it Olivia the one who turned off the lights or was it also Peter? Cause I feel like he’s an experiment baby too so maybe both have powers?
And of course Walter wrote the ZFV and doesn’t remember, that’s so walter
The guest stars in this one are awesome. Amy Poehler as GOB’s wife and Julia Louis-Dreyfus as the blind lawyer both are perfect.
A solid comedy, nothing groundbreaking. Some of the characters lean too hard into caricature, but the script is sharp and fun.
It's well acted, technically a star studded cast in the UK. So I was expecting it to be good. It is really good, but it's missing depth of the characters... too much espionage flowing into the actual script. The brothers relationship isn't explored at all. The main two characters relationship isn't gone into fully. The side "romance" is just tiny glimpses. Nothing of the personal interactions reaches the depth of loving the characters. It's a historical docudrama and maybe that's why. They just didn't know enough about the people to develop the characters fully. A shame really. I gave it an 8, but it's a 7.5. Great overall but missing the punch to be fantastic.
Most meta episode ever?
I loved the shot the writers took at people that want more space adventures like in season 1. "What does that even mean?", lol
Didn't Janeway memorise all conduits and Jeffrey's tube of Voyager but doesn't know where a Junction Room is?
This tried a bit to hard to be a Voyager version of the TNG episode 'Lower Decks' (and that's all the more disappointing given that Voyager has ALREADY DONE this back in season 1's 'Learning Curve').
It followed a very standard and predictable plot. The inexperienced crew go on a trip with the Captain and a life-threatening situation occurs. They fight through their fears and doubts to prove to themselves that they are able to handle a crisis. Blah blah blah. We've seen it all before. Where the episode does stand up a bit is that the new crew members are all fairly unique people with intresting quirks. Unfortunately they're not really very easy to like, which derails things. Harren in particular continually speaks to Janeway in an incredibly disrespectful way and I'm surprised that he gets away with it all.
I'd be pretty happy to see more of Tal and Billy, but this is Voyager: I'm not expecting to see/hear of them ever again. Maybe I'll be surprised.
Fun little appearance by musician Tom Morello.
The whole episode seems to be written to convince Dwayne Johnson to make a (very) brief appearance. And it worked as, according to imdb, this episode had the highest ratings of the season.
Which I find rather sad because people were probably tuning in to see The Rock and not Star Trek. And since neither his role nor the story itself is memorable you can ignore this one. It's also quite easy to recognize when they used the stunt-double for Jeri and when it's her.
Our first look inside Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities reveals a rather generic horror story. After the effective opening scene, we follow racist veteran Nick (Tim Blake Nelson) who, like in "Storage Wars", buys an abandoned storage unit at an auction. It was previously owned by a Nazi who was not averse to the occult. Nick needs money immediately because he is deeply in debt. The plot, which is set during the tenure of George Bush, doesn't pick up speed for a long time. Tim Blake Nelson is also too likeable for his role. The story only gets a bit scarier towards the end, only to end abruptly. The episode was adequate overall, but nothing more.
This film took me by surprise, I was expecting another sherlock spinoff that does nothing new.
Yet Enola Holmes is simply refreshing with an intriguing story that compels you to keep watching with wit and adventure all the way through.
7/10 - Good film, one that I'll happily watch again
This was really funny (and I think intentionally so!) The goofiest least convincing monster yet, with a silly name to boot. Plus a number of moments with excellent comic timing:
Laughed out loud multiple times.
This is an interesting episode, and we get to see Jeri Ryan singing, which in itself is a treat :)
However every time I see it I'm bugged by something : the studio settings of 1944 France are very good, reproducing a 1940's French town quite accurately, but in one instance they fail badly : there is a car prominently featured in 2 scenes, a Citroen 2CV "Charleston" a model that came out in 1980, furthermore it's worth mentioning that in any case the original model of the Citroen 2CV was unveiled in 1948, 3 years after the end of World War 2. This anachronism grates and could have been so easily avoided (there are other period related cars in the background that don't clash)
I like this episode. To begin with, I appreciate they don't waste time on how the Hirogen were able to board Voyager. Of course it shamelessly feeds Hollywood's insatiable hunger for all things WWII and the Nazis in particular and while this could be annoying it's so strangly integrated into the world of Star Trek that I actually like this episode. Plus, at this point, writers know how to work with Seven and the Doctor. It's certainly one of the most memorable and unique Holodeck goes wrong episodes in the franchise. Usually that's holograms who become aware of the simulation, of themselves and somehow gained control of systems outside the holodeck hereby endangering the crew. This story is better written and much more complex. It's more than one of those little holodeck extravaganzas that only serve as an entertaining diversion.
PS: that's probably an awful thing to say given what we Germans are responsible for but the Wehrmacht/Waffen-SS uniforms showed an impeccable sense of style. And the Hirogen look good in them.
Hm. I don't know. The logician and the children... At the same time, that's silly, adorable and tells you surprisingly much about the Vulcan society. Problem: there's this other civilization and you really don't have any context. Are they somehow important in the sector? What role do they play? Or are they just generic baddies (or so it seems)? Well, in the end there's a twist and an interesting phenomenon is discovered. This philosophical part isn't bad but very shallow
This episode is totally inconsequential. Off they go and next week's episode starts as if nothing had happened.
As a long time fan I was slightly concerned that Steve Coogan’s most famous character being rebooted ran the risk of tarnishing its top-notch reputation.
No need to worry - it’s an inspired move to allow AP onto prime time national telly. After all these years he’s got the break. And he’s done the ‘rags’ part, why not the ‘riches’?
The question is of course, how will he avoid the axe if his trademark tactless and petty behaviour continues?
It matters not, just enjoy the ride while it lasts.
His cringe-inducing antics don’t feel like they were overly scripted, so are credible. His feeble attempts to play the Paxman on the ‘hacktivist’, interrupted by his agonisingly embarrassing attempted chat-up of Emily Maitless. Maitland. That’s what I said.
It’s wonderful to see Lynne get some laughs of her own - the way she verbally crucified Alan’s joke stealing sofa-partner was priceless.
Eight seasons to find out who Finn’s parents are. I love it.
I am so proudly going to tell my kids that I lived in the time when Community aired on Television.
Its Scream meets The Blair Witch but it still manages to transcend both of those films to become its own thing too. An intriguing setup for the next two Fear Street movies and I for one am looking forward to them.
3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Fear Street Part One: 1994’:
Lemme tell you… I loved it! It was nostalgic. It was an homage to so much that has come before (that intro had ‘Scream’ written all over it). But it also had a hefty dose of originality. Great characters you cared about. It took risks. It surprised you. And it was a LOT more mature than I expected it to be. I loved the books way back when, and this made me wanna read them again. Bravo.
I LOVED the LGBT twist in the beginning! Did NOT expect that person to be Sam. Solid execution.
It had a bit of a Hocus Pocus vibe to me, which made the character deaths and the paths into “Rated R” territory that much more effective. It was a weird and welcomed mix.
Bonus Thought: I legit can’t wait for the next one. Super invested.
Bode is just annoying at this point. He's the reason the family is getting in trouble 90% of the time...
