A Million Ways to Die in the West

I usually love these types of movies, but this was a stinker. Got about 15 minutes in and completely regretted investing that much time in this.. SKIP IT!!!

Mothers' Instinct

This is a slow burner... so slow it almost extinguished itself.
More happened in the last 10 minutes than the previous 85 (including the closing credits).

If you've cut the grass and washed the dishes and still have nothing else to do then this would be a good option unless there's some paint drying somewhere...

You Can't Run Forever

Watched the trailer and this looked good... unfortunately that was complete misinformation.

Managed to sit through the first 25 minutes - which was 1/2 an hour more than I should have.
Extremely bad writing and 'acting' - not sure which was worse.
JK Simmons is usually reliable for a decent movie, but he just phoned this one in... poorly.

I've watched some stinkers in 2023/2024 and this one is near the top (or is it bottom) of the worst of the worst.

-10/10

Eric

Good but not great.
Not sure what the main story was... was it the kid, the messed up dad or all the gayness? This could have easily been wrapped up in 3 or 4 episodes if all the unnecessary bits were cut out. The family just doesn't appear to function at all and in-laws are basically robots with no feelings.
I really liked the main cop.. he's a good actor and played this part perfectly, everyone else was meh.

Thank You, Goodnight - The Bon Jovi Story

This is one of the best documentaries I've ever watched. Was very well put together and had a nice flow from past to present all the way through it. Really surprised how down to earth BonJovi is and and he and all the band member seem to be really genuine nice people.

He loved his album 2020, but it was really their worst record by far.. we've had enough of the plandemic, we don't need to wallow in it for 45 minutes musically.

You know how you're watching a REALLY bad comedy - you know it's bad, but somehow the people in the movie don't seen to realize it? Well this is like that... it's a 'thriller' according to Netflix, but without the thrills and I think there might be bits where it supposed to be funny - but isn't.

Season 1 is bad - 4/10 bad, but season 2 takes it even further in to the mud... it's sooo bad I can't believe I let the wife for force me to sit through all 6 episodes!!

For the love of god... don't watch this!!!!

Started well but lost its way and had some really stupid bits. Lots of inconsistencies as it went on.

The Tourist: 1x05 Episode 5

Really weird episode. Was going to say it was a waste of time but it got better and we get a lot of information about the past, ended up being quite good.

The Big Cigar

Supposed to be a thriller but there's nothing thrilling about this show.

Completely lost interest about the middle of episode 2 but kept watching it. Gave up completely at the end of episode 3.

Above Suspicion

It's worth watching, but not riveting by any stretch of the imagination. It feels very basic the way it's filmed - not a big fan of what the director appears to be doing - maybe keeping us distracted for the sub-par performances and writing.

A younger Kelly Reilly (in 2009-2011) is sexier and better looking than in Yellowstone where she's obviously a big star now.

Bottom line... She's hot, the show is average at 6/10

Nice twists and the season is only 8 episodes.

Gray

Unlike most American shows where everything is so loud, this one is the complete opposite where everyone whispers - even when they are upset. The director must be going for the "talk quietly but carry a big stick" effect and it's annoying.

Other than that, there no logic into getting Gray back into the game... they bust into her home and drag her out in chains. Then she gets interrogated - in chains and then tossed into a cell with more chains, then the next morning she's out and about like a regular office worker!!!

After the first episode we pulled the plug on this dog.

The Durrells

Ugh.. went with Trakt reviews and watched it for 40 mins and regretted it. Over acting, childish people that are self-centred and don't give a toss about their mother or each other. Pretty sure no one was like that back in the '30's when you either went down the mines or went to school in England pre-war. You certainly weren't a spoiled brat living at home while in your late teens/early 20's - that's for sure!!!

The Fall Guy

Got to 30 minutes and that was about 1/2 an hour too long. We completely lost interest in it - where were the funny bits? Everyone was overacting in a juvenile way. Glad i didn't waste time going to the theatres for this crap!!

What happens when you have waay too much money but want to build a house? You make a TV show about your build and write a bunch of it off.

Sugar

Great show... episodes are only around 35 minutes long, but lots of stuffed jammed into each episode.
Was a little confusing for the first couple of episodes and then it became clearer as it progressed till the end of episode 6 when it all made sense.
Nicely done!

Started off a little slow then got better and better - fully hooked by end of episode 3. A lot of the dark humour also started coming in at the same time.

I really enjoyed this... until the final episode where they spend so much time throwing just about anything they could at it to lead up to a typical Hollywood ending.
The second half of the last episode was full of Hollywood cliche scenes and then after the big finale we're left with questions like: What happened the the cop(s)/Interpol people? What happened to Seamus and the baddies? How was everything resolved?
Never mind, we've thought up a smart-ass ending for one of the main characters.. that'll do... just like Hollywood.

Last episode 3/10
Big Hollywood finale 0/10

Overall I have to drop it from 8.5/10 to 6... lazy writing has consequences.

The Game Changers

This move is nothing more than vegan propaganda that has an agenda. When I first watched it it appeared to make sense...until this video came out - Beyond Impossible (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UZ9wYNrSXM) and destroyed almost everything this movie is truing to accomplish. They even tear holes in The Game Changers movie at this point in the film - https://youtu.be/-UZ9wYNrSXM?t=3142

This is why YOU have to research everything and don't take anything at face value.

Beyond Impossible

Good take on the fake meat aspect that is getting shoved down our throats every chance they get. It's become a rabid religion in the past couple of years. Lots of really good info on the fake people that are pushing this lifestyle.

Funny how the 5 main "Vegan Scientists'" in the world conveniently couldn't make an appearance in the movie because they didn't agree with who else was also being interviewed... they only do one-sided interviews apparently. They weren't even asked to debate their viewpoint, just give their opinion.

Interesting that Arnold became a vegan just for his movie. He was a carnivore before and immediately afterwards... just not during the movie he produced.

If you are a vegan or even just a vegetarian you should watch this - especially right at the very end - it will maybe change your viewpoint.

Unfrosted

This movie is grrrreat! Just about everyone in Hollywood is in this, but they don't ruin it, which is typical of these attempts.
The story is funny and silly.. but mostly funny. Really enjoyed it.
Why did Jerry Seinfeld take so long to write and direct a movie!??

Another chick-flick following the same formula that the other 99,000 chick flicks that have come before it, and will continue to be made till Infiniti.

Celine Dion is the executive producer and inserted herself in the movie... someone didn't tell her she can't act though.

The Bricklayer

Had really low expectations of this movie...and wouldn't ya know it - it was just as bad as expected.

Typical 'off-the-books' storyline - aren't they all?
Have no idea why Nina Dobrev was there cause he did everything by himself and she some how figured up how to appear just at the right time to save his ass.
Watched 30 mins and couldn't take it anymore.
