The Strain (2014)
Fingers Crossed It Doesn't Turn Into A Disappointment. Worth A Try
I want to like this show. I liked the very beginning and was really excited to see where they would go with this dead plane stopped in the middle of the runway not even taxiing but completely off. They moved it along quick but where it went I am not as excited about. I would prefer more unknown suspense but it seems like it's going in the flesh eating zombie direction and some sort of 9 foot monster. It wasn't bad. I am going to keep watching. I'm not a zombie guy or flesh eating monster type but who knows maybe they can win me over if the story line is more creepy than everyone just gets eaten. That's not interesting to me so I really hope this goes some where and gives me something to watch. I have seen a lot of bad movies lately so it doesn't seem like I can fill my nights with that.
On the 3rd episode. Fingers crossed.
Snapshot (2014)
Absolute Crap
Ugh this film is absolute crap. It might not be the absolute worst film I have ever seen but it is far up there. Who wrote this junk? I felt like my brain was turning into a puddle. It's so poorly written and acted you feel it is slowly stabbing you in the eyes and ears. I have sat through some pretty bad movies before. Anyone remember Britney Spears in Crossroads? That was better and that sucked big ones. Anyone who says this is a good film is either a ringer working for these people or should be promptly checked for a bracelet on who to contact and where to bring them back to. I won't even get into the whole plot. It's been done time and time again and this is one of the worst versions of the same old song.
Let's just break it down like this.
Writing - BAD Looks - Slightly above amateur looking Actng- HORRIBLE Overall - Melodramatic laughable crap
Zach McGowan - I like Zach outside of this film. He's not the best looking guy and I don't foresee any Oscars in his future but he seems like a likable guy and that can count for something. He was not terrible in this but it wasn't enough to save it. He was floundering all by himself in a poor career choice. Good thing for Michael Bay.
Robert Loggia- WTF? Why? Can't be the payday it was obviously made on like no budget. He didn't do much. He can't save this.
Angela Gots - Who? Worst actress ever? This lady is hideous looking and definitely now on or close to the top of my worst actresses list. A lead actress should at least be semi attractive she has a Neanderthal type look to her and sounds like a frog with bronchitis that just drones on and on. She also looks far older than McGowan.
Joyce DeWitt - Ridiculous as the first lady of the United States of America. Talk about a reach. She looks and acts like a cartoon character.
Michael Pare- Who? I see he has a bunch of credits I guess I just missed him or they were straight to video films. He was whatever in this. Didn't see him as the Prez and it looked like he was making official statements in someone's backyard. If he is president shouldn't they be living in the White House?
Martin Kove - What happened to Kreese? He's ridiculous and the finest of cheese no money can buy.
David Chokachi - LMAO guess it could be worse. He is working more than Pamela Anderson, David Hasselhoff, his hamburger or most of the Baywatch alumni from any season really except Jason Momoa and a couple others. He could have done without this one probably though I haven't seen any of his other recent projects to compare it to.
I'm not really sure why Angela Little is listed first and no one else is really worth commenting on.
Interesting? NO Thrilling? NO Suspenseful? NO Predictable? Yes Worth Watching? No. Not unless you don't mind completely wasting your time and feeling the urge to put a plastic bag over your head.
Afternoon Delight (2013)
Cinema Down The Toilet She Sits On
It had moments that were funny, brief moments, but most of it was kind of trashy. The acting was fine even good in some parts but it lacked all class and tact and I am not the most classy and PC guy. Somehow being on the toilet instead of having sex with her husband means she should go to a strip club to get a lap dance by a 19 year old who isn't really and somehow a 40 year old woman becomes obsessed with a kid stripper just like that and we are supposed to feel sorry for her because she hates her life even though she knows it could be worse since women are getting raped 1,2,3 times a day just trying to get back and forth from home for a bucket of water, that they no doubt hold on their heads.
Think about it this way, there's toilets, vomit, period blood, gratuitous nudity, a disgusting monologue about the main characters abortion at 18 , bad Jewish jokes and more all while we are supposed to feel bad for this lost woman when the character isn't even developed enough to show why she does the things she does and then it just ends with no real fulfilled story line just more gratuitous sex and nudity.
The acting is not bad its just a stupid movie. It's not thought provoking as some people claim. They just want to look like they are more intellectual than the normal person. I'm not even the most intellectual person I know for sure and this is pointless. My very intellectual friends and family would have a field day ripping this apart.
I think Juno is a very good actress but I am starting to think that she might be a very trashy girl in real life because all she plays are trashy lost girls always gyrating and getting naked. Hollywood is notorious for type casting based on how you come off.
Watch it? NO
