Debunking Borat (2021)
Bad reviews are hypocrites
The criticism that the 2 were nice to Borat and he still screwed them over is quite hypocritical. Because almost everyone was nice to Borat, or rather all of Sacha's alter egos. The rich family was nice to Borat when he came to them with his feces in his hand. The Jewish grandma was nice to him when he came to her in the synagogue with a sterorypical Jewish demon disguise. But you didn't mind it there. But woe betide you when it's the "working class of America that gets punked. Those jokes are not allowed there. So please don't pretend that this is what shocks you so much, because it's obviously a straw man Argument.
World Premiere: American Horror Story: Coven (2013)
Utter garbage
This ranks among the top dumbest stories I've ever consumed. I've been ranting about this garbage for an entire summer. I'm convinced that monkeys banged on typewriters until words came out that made some sense. Or maybe the authors had Alzheimer's because almost every plot line they start comes to nothing. Everything that happens doesn't matter at all. Something is hinted at at the end of one episode that doesn't matter in the first three minutes of the next. Anyone who says this is seriously good should be placed under psychiatric supervision. I don't give such a low rating lightly, but this one more than deserves it. An insult to any rational mind.
A Plague Tale: Requiem (2022)
Massive letdown compared to the first game
The graphics are great, but unfortunately that's all there is to it. The story is just stupid. What sane person would travel to an island to find a cure for a child's dream? Especially when your own mother already says that it won't help. Of course it doesn't and what's Amicia's next suggestion? Move to the mountains as if everything is ok. Moreover, Amicia is almost crazy, quite different from the first part. Also, unnecessary enemies are shown, some of which simply don't get an explanation, like the beekeepers at the very beginning. And it doesn't do the game any good that the areas are so big. Since you get nothing but ingredients for the various sling ammunition, it never pays to get to the boxes that are harder to reach, and that worked well with the smaller maps in the first Part. I really dont get how so many can give this such a good rating.
Don't Look Up (2021)
Too long imo
The first hour was relatively superfluous, because the point of criticism there was totally wrong: people are so sensationalist that they would immediately jump on any doomsday news, no matter who it comes from and how unlikely it sounds. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been something about the damn Mayan calendar on every TV station in 2012. From the time the president acknowledged the comet as a threat, the satire worked better. The only thing I found unnecessary was any love story in this movie. The affair of Dr. Mindy and when the redhead got together with the christian punk. That absolutely didn't fit in and was probably just there to stretch out the runtime.
Death Note (2017)
At least better than the last part of the original
I liked the ending, it wasn't as over the top as the original. But L was poorly portrayed. Also that some psycho woman is de facto behind Light was not so good. It actually made Light not seem as intelligent as he actually was. Why the demon here had so many stubborn opinions is also a mystery to me. Why they had to include Japan at all, if they wanted to fix the setting on America, is incomprehensible to me and also unnecessary. And that one had to make an obviously, in the original, white figure, here forcibly black is also stupid. But otherwise it was ok. The death scenes were well done and reminded me of Final Destination. And what Light did at the end was really well thought out. So a 6 for me. Or rather a 5,5 but that's not possible here.
Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story (2022)
Interessting but...
It was interessting but way to streched out. First part Was just a biopic. Second part had some parts of the first part, Word for Word!
Could have been a hour long movie just as fine.
Shameless: The Fickle Lady Is Calling It Quits (2021)
Frank's story is sad but the rest...
Much of this episode is forced or unnecessary. Mickey's problems with the new neighborhood. Or Carl's moral problems with his work. Why is Ian flirting with someone in the second to last episode? Why is an entirely new character introduced in the penultimate episode? Carl just has a baby now and suddenly gets along well with Tish? Debby is still looking for a girlfriend in the penultimate episode, even though she already had one?
Sure, there were some really sad moments, mostly with Frank. But the previously mentioned inconsistencies made the episode much less good for me than the previous ones this season.
Shameless: Cancelled (2021)
@ solidabs
The only creepy one is you, dude. You literally said that "the black chick" was great because she was shown naked and having sex, like thats the only thing a woman is even worth portraying of. You cant be real with this, if you do you are a god-damn moron.
Shameless: Two at a Biker Bar, One in the Lake (2021)
@ tenkateseth
Kevin was always stupid, they didnt made him that way in this season, lol.
Shameless: Slaughter (2021)
@ silusbotwin
Where in the series or episode does it say what your belief system is supposed to be? In the series, there are dozens of people with totally different belief systems. If you have the feeling that something is being forced on you here, that's up to you.
Shameless: NIMBY (2021)
@ rickyedington
What political propaganda are you talking about? There are different characters with different political views on the show, and they are all presented equally. Of course, the show leans more to the left, but that's been the case since season 1, so I'm not quite sure what's suddenly bothering you.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: Chapter Thirty-Six: At the Mountains of Madness (2020)
Dramatic ending and yet cheesy happy ending.
Unlike most others here, I thought it was good that Sabrina died. If she had walked away from this without any problems, it would have clearly undermined her sacrifice.
However, I am absolutely dissatisfied with the afterlife scene because it is exactly that which makes her death meaningless again. She now has her happy ending in heaven. Of course, I have to ask myself why the daughter of the devil goes to heaven. And above all, where the second Sabrina is after her demise. I don't have to mention much more about the questionable statement that Nick's appearance in heaven sends out, do I? It is clearly alluded to that Nick committed suicide to be with Sabrina. This is wrong on several levels.
Also, I'm not satisfied that Sabrina now wants to be with Nick after he made a 180 degree turn in the middle of the season and decided to be in love with Sabrina after all. That seemed very forced. Also because I think Harvey is the best match for Sabrina. Simply because he is a good-hearted simpleton with no evil intentions, while Nick has proven to be a lying snake who can't actually be trusted. But maybe nostalgia for the original sitcom is speaking out of me.
Last but not least, I have to mention how pathetic I found the portrayal of the devil in the last seasons, especially compared to the first season, where he was exclusively seen as a goat-headed monster, before which one felt awe. Now he's just a "quirky dad" and that ruins his whole appearance, especially when you see how easily he was defeated by Lillith, where in one season it seemed impossible to defeat him.
Electric Dreams: Impossible Planet (2017)
@ Luki Pawluik
If you read, what the original is about, you wouldn't say that Dick is a weak sci-fi-writer. This episode has changed much and made it much worse. First of, in the original earth is a myth, not a burned planet. It makes no sense to visit it a toxic planet, but not a burned one. Makes no difference. Second: there was no wacky, not plausible at all connection between Mrs. Gordon and Norton. Why the heck should he look like her grandpa, or even weirder: have memories of her grandma? And why would they suddenly be on earth for no reason? In the book, Mrs. Gordon and her robot go to the planet and die. Norton is disgusted by Andrews and gives him his fair share. They find a penny and know this really was earth, after all. So please, Luki, don't say Dick is a weak writer when the series producers team just messed this one up.
Cyberbully (2015)
Very good beginning, but the end...
I totally agree with "Luke-a-McGowan": The first three-quarters of the movie were just superb! And I really thought that the hacker was a friend of Li, or her father. Everything just pointed to this direction and it would be so fitting. As the movie went on, I even thought that it could be possible, that Casey just had a mental breakdown, and suffered from hallucinations because she found out of Li's death and could not accept her fault in it and that's why she confronted her self with this hacker (which would be perfectly fine with me, either). But it came otherwise. In the very last minutes of the movie I realized that they will make the big mistake to never reveal the person behind the hacker. But the ending as it is, just made the movie much more unbelievable. The motivation for such a big hack just to troll a random girl who reached like 100 people or so, with her vines is just implausible! It would totally make sense if Li's father did this, cause anger is a very big motivator! And if the hacker would be in her mind, everything could be possible, even the suicide attempt. I get it, that hardcore trolls don't need any more motivation than "for the lulz", but still: being all that edifying and showing Casey whats wrong or not AND claiming to be a helper for the victims of cyberbulling whilst being the worst cyberbully himself? Thats just to absurd. It just didn't work for me. If he really wanted to drive her into suicide, I bet it would be enough for him to just threaten with the posting of the pictures or with just really posting them, without the whole "you ruined that girls live"-thing. And the movie really wanted us the believe it is a family-member of Li or herself by showing us the video of her singing first, and coming back to her "cause" later, to pinpoint her as a person of interest. I have no problems with twists, but that twist was just needless and ruined the movie to a point. Especially with the acting of the hacker from being a person who had a valuable lesson to teach, to becoming a troll that calls a teen an "ungly bitch" because she went out of the room...we all know how the internet can be, but a movie should have at least a lesson, and I thought this movie had one (because the lesson it showed so far, until the first three-quarters of the movie, was really good delivered!). So unfortunately, this movie only gets 6 stars from be, because of this very ridiculous ending, as Luke-a-McGowan said it!
Doctor Who: Listen (2014)
Not sure what to make of it
Usually I love self-consistency in time-travel stories. But here, right before the twist-ending I thought: "It better be nothing lame like that the monster is one of them"...and it was. I mean, it cant only be Clara, cause there was surly something bumping outside of the space-station on the last planet and the thing under the bed-sheet was clearly no child (as we could see a little bit of it, even if it was blurred. And in no way was that a child. I looked like something some alien-believers call "greys" or (to stick in the Dr. Who lore) the Silence (but a little smaller). It even came into the room with no sound what so ever (well, so did the Doctor as well, but he is a time traveler so it's OK, I guess). I am not satisfied with this answer, since it cant really be a child. I also have to note that we already know whats in the edge of the eye, when we look into the mirror. It was explained with the Smith-Doctor, that it was this alien-mother the Doctor banished in the mirrors (however he did this). But it was nice to see, that the Doctor was further in the future than the last time, where he met the Master. I also don't really like it, how important Clara became to the Doctor. He managed to restore his time-lime and was present at every major event in the Doctors life and now he also encouraged a young Doctor to become what he is. She is to lame and boring to have such an important role, IMHO.
Conclusion: I really have to emphasize again that I am not satisfied with the ending. I want to know what thing that was, cause it sure as hell was no child and we didn't see it to be one, but rather a grey thing. But I have the feeling that we will never know (I hope that I am wrong on this). BTW.: What a weird scene as Calra, Rupert and the Doctor were watching out of the window as the thing stood behind them and nothing really happened. Most anticlimactic scene in the history of Dr Who.
The Last Ship: Phase Six (2014)
Too fast paced
This show is very fast paced, and gives zero time for drama in any art. I was amazed at how quick we were shown, that the world has lost 80% of their population, an atomic bomb and the loss of a crew member, in what felt like 15 minutes. There was like no build-up of emotions at all as there was also no suspense! And all the "america is so damn great" attitude drives me sick. I would like to write more about it, but the series is so shallow, I don't really know what else to say. Well I will add, that the acting is OK, but there is a lack of emotional tenseness so acting shouldn't be that hard without it, anyways.
All in all, there is only one thing left to say: what else should you expect from Micheal Bay?
Mr. Nobody (2009)
Nice idea, bad execution
The idea is really good, and I liked some thought-provoking things (like the Brazilian nonworker, his egg and the microclimate) and that they explained things like the butterfly effect, in a humoristic way. But the complete mixed way of telling the alternate timelines was an unsuccessful attempt. They should rather have done it like in Run, Lola, Run.
Confusing part (wich maybe someone can explain to me): what was it with this is weird dimension, where everyone wore check shirts, the streets were from a movie set and water was brought in via helicopter into the ocean? And why did old Nemo talk to young Nemo, when old Nemo was a just a version of him that was only thought from his 9-year old self?
Conclusion: as the title said: nice idea, bad execution.
Fetching Cody (2005)
Special Olympics-like movie tries to compete with real athletes
This movie reminds me of a mentally retarded athlete trying to compete with the "real" athletes on the Olympics (not the Paralympics, though! The real ones) in 1500-metre-run: while everyone his job, he is running in circles, but at least 50 times or so, and everyone is "proud" of him, that he at least did not fall.
I don't really want to vote for it, because it is clear that the producers had no money, but I also suspect, that who ever wrote the script, must have been as high as the protagonist: totally dumb protagonist(s), over-simplified motives (like anyone would kill him-self for getting a boner in school) and a total lack of logic; you name it, the movie has it. The part with the tampons is something that speaks for itself (and that is imbecility). But I will vote it, since I don't understand how the majority could give this "special" movie such an extraordinary good rating.
I really don't feel like it, but I guess I have to go into the time-travel part of this. First of all: I am not quite sure if there was any "actuall" time travel "really" happening in this movie. It all could have been a bad trip (since the protagonist often affirms to be high, when asked about it, which would at least explain, his narrow-mindedness). He even is telling the homeless guy (which really is the best "thing"/actor in the movie; I gotta admit that with some other reviewers, that mentioned it. He seems like an inscrutable, crazy-genius professor from the future.) that the chair is not an actual time-machine after and even just before traveling through time again. Seriously: WTF? Is he really just that high that he doesn't know anymore what's real or not? Now to the part with time-travel logic: jeez, that one really is landmark, when it comes to lack of logic for time-travel stuff. First of all: how come that he is opening the window for his past-self (therefore interacting with his self past) but is never seeing his time-traveling self when he travels back just minutes to undo the mistakes he made (which is, by the way impossible, for nearly all time-travel theories, except the spread-sheet one, but we don't talk about that one since it is used for mainstream-flicks mostly: yes I am looking at you, Back to the future...) And why doesn't any action he made in the past has any consequences at all in the present? And why is the homeless guy telling Art one time, that changing stuff in the past is harder than changing them in them in the present, but some time later he tells him, that is he changes minor things, the outcome could be unpredictable (the so called butterfly effect)? And why is the homeless guy remembering Cody but not Art; or is he just pretending? And was that Gothic-girl on the bus, supposed to be Jody? Questions upon questions, which will not be answered, I guess, because I actually believe that the director did not ask them for himself (or was not capable of doing so...)
So why 2 Stars than, you ask? I do appreciate cinematography (that was the only thing that did not look completely cheap), as well as the basic statement, that you gotta let your loved ones go, in case you are really loving them (should this be the message, the director wanted us to know, which I am not quite convinced, he was).
28 Days Later... (2002)
Can't believe that this movie has such good ratings
Well, OK it was not bad (Resident Evil was a far worse zombie-movie) but this movie just made little sense!
I'll write the most dull part's of this movie now (and yes, this will contain spoilers! But I don't think that anyone will care after 10 years).
First of all: The first half of the movie has more covert advertising, than...advertisement! 3 times in a row, they show or talk of Pepsi. I really was astonished that no one said: "Ah, Pepsi! This really let's me forget about all those infected...better than Coke!"
Second: How come, that nearly everyone is dead, but still, there are no corpses on the street. No one! Did they all decided together to walk into building to die?
3rd: On the streets there is complete chaos and even buses are turned. But then the group walks into in a shop (which is not even closed) and everything is neat and tidy like provided a few days ago. Not one cereal box is lying on the ground! (And again: so many ads!)
4: Why should only the UK be infected? Simply, why? And why is there just one guy who says that, and then no one speaks of it again, we see no sign that this is true (except of the plane at one point, but no further explanations).
5: Why is it totally OK for Selena that Jim killed every solider in a very brutal way (pressing his thumbs in the eyeballs of this one dude)? Especially when this virus is making everyone violent?
6: The part where Frank got's infected was just plain stupid. Instead of waiting 1 minute he kicks a wall and get's blood in his eye...why? It would be OK, if he got bitten, but with this way of getting infected it just looked, like they wanted some drama.
7: Did someone say forced drama? Well how about the "Kill the boy-scene"? He walks into a burger store AFTER they looted the shop aforementioned because he want's a cheeseburger? Does he really think, that these things just lay around for him? It looked to me, like that he really wanted to see dead bodies. Or kill himself, because he literally shouted "hello" in there. What did he think, he would find? I really think, that the part with killing the boy was just in there to forcefully cram drama in us.
8: Last part. They just escaped the mansion after all the soldiers tried to rape the girl's...next thing they do: draw the attention of a military jet to them. Not enough rape, eh?
