The House Band (2023)
Laura Brownson just insn't Talented
Jeez, this movie has so many dry edges.
The budget was obviously not there.
For Brownson to claim she has been doing this for so long it just doesn't show. It seems like a first to me and not a professional looking film. There were so many beats that were missed with the performances I felt had to do with lack of direction.
The dialog needed work and the lack of budget shows in scene dispite the actors giving their best it just wans't there. For far too long people blame the performers for what a tacky director does the fault lies solely on Ms. Brownson.
The movie was awful bland cheap. IN fact I should've known it was going to be bad after reading the one or 2 scenetce synopsis! Hardly any effort.
Instant Hotel (2017)
Terry and Anita Cheated
So this show has an amazing concept, my husband and I watched this show and binge watched it for a few days.
However their scoring system is pathetic. I don't think enough effort was put into the show's rules and scoring system.
The show felt like a vacation which made it hypnotizing and intriguing to watch but as soon as Anita and Terry went and gave them a low score then the show just got unfair becuase they were purposely too harsh on their "guests" when they gave them a good review. They knew the system was flawed and quietly abused it with a smile. They knew all they had to do was give them a low score since everyone else was judging more fairly early on. After they toted their low review everyone else started being on their toes and no longer wanted to play fair. I don't think this show ever apologized to the contestants as it wasn't their fault. I think they knew the scoring was a bit flawed but wanted to be fair until the forementioned couple.
As a result of their actions not only did this messy couple win it caused a rift between the contastant's and their started back stabbing which could have been avoided. The mother and daughter would've been the ones to win had it not been for Terry and Anitas cheating.
It's one thing to cast big personalities for a reality show but to abuse honest peoples trust is disgusting.
The Blackening (2022)
wasn't scary, wasn't funny...just mashed potatoes and corn.
This movie was boring.
I couldn't relate to any characters.
The scenes were boring after the first 20 min, the dialog just started getting annoying. It wasn't a parody as promised. The movie tried to get better and then it didn't .
Maybe this movie was meant to watch when you're high because I didn't get it...
Just because it black in the title doesn't mean you have to go run out and support it... I mean... It just wasn't good or entertaining in any way.
As far as the lead actress is concerned her hair looked awful and I just didn't get what they were going for with her look. It was distracting to me.
The American Society of Magical Negroes (2024)
The movie was funny
I really liked this romantic comedy.
The lady /love interest is very good and keeping the story interesting and adding more layers to the story.
David Allen Greir was great he held back a lot but gave you some of his traditional side he is known for.
The movie is a great concept and Nicole Byer played her part really well!
The extras were good in this movie too!
At first I thought the dialog was good but I watched a couple of reviews and I see why they think it was good.
I do agree there needed to be some work but I'm also divided because I think the quality of the film was up to standard. This to me, made this film a breath of fresh air
Can't wait to get it on DVD.
Maurice Hines: Bring Them Back (2019)
good artists but just didn't hit the mark
The documentary starts off good and you really think your in for a treat. Not enough context was given through the doc. If your a fan of the Hines brothers you may get what they are talking about but it was a bit all over the place. There wasn't any chronological order.
I didn't like how it was done. They needed to showcase more of the "WHY's" "How's" rather than just he did this.
When you search gregory Hines on YouTube, the top footage is the footage used in the documentary. What utter laziness.
Pay the fee to get the correct footage from the proper source don't insult us by giving us footage from someones VHS recording the nicely shared on YouTube then not credit them as if you "found it" ethically. They even showed a picture of an ebay photo of a VHS for sale... come one when waiting for the peak of the doc it was quickly let down because it ends. Not leaving you wanting more but disapoinment. Production reads "first film"
Doctor Sleep (2019)
this was pretty bad
Like i know that this is aupposed to be another look etc but. I think it wouldve been better if it were made at least in the 1990s. It was really boring for the most part. and theres definitely something wrong with mr king... I mean he writes these books and the movie adaptations are always bad....
