Swarm (2023)
What a waste of my time
I thought it was slow, boring, and the ending provided nothing, simply nothing. The reality of someone capable of doing these things and getting away with it is completely unrealistic! And the show just had zero follow through...I get what the writers were trying to portray but they failed miserably! Ugh, what a waste of my time! Yuck!
Watching paw patrol with my kids is way more enjoyable, just saying....
Please save yourself hours regret and disappointment. I thought there would be some apex and conclusion but nothing. Just zero feeling and I'm sure the writers wanted to evoke some plane of emotion but holy moly, they failed, period!
Into the Woods (2014)
I found myself humming "into the woods..." for the next month after seeing this movie!
As always, Meryl Streep pulls the show together with her amazing stage presence. I can understand the negative reviews, in that, people were expecting a Disney "little Mermaid" blockbuster.....so if you don't like musicals, this isn't the movie for you but one can not deny the wonderful cast and acting. I, personally, am a musical lover and I thought this was shockingly awesome! I was hesitant to hear Anna Kendrick and Johnny Depp sing on camera but was pleasantly surprised. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they didn't make Depp sing an actual melodic balled as they did with poor Pierce Bronson in "Mama Mia" (that was rough listening to Bronson try to pretend to sing....kinda messed up the whole movie for me...). My point: kudos to the director to keep Depp in the talk/sing role instead of breaking out in chorus. Kendrick, on the other hand, holy crap, that girl can sing!
I loved the intertwined fairy tales and the costumes, scenes & sets were very well crafted and thought out....maybe a little more fantastical-Harry-Potterness would have helped those non-musical lovers become more engaged but all in all, a wonderful film/musical.
It's very hard to take something from the stage and put it on big screen so I'm pleased to see the care in doing so...I mean, it's no Sound of Music or My Fair Lady but it sure kicks Mama Mia's ass :) ha ha
Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll (2015)
Finally a sitcom with real music and comedy
Dear God I hope this show isn't getting canceled! It's a beautiful blend of comedy, drama & great music. Haven't laughed out loud to a sitcom since Seinfeld until this show came along.
I'm so sick of reality TV so it's refreshing to see that someone has taken the time to create a show using music as a platform to develop an interesting dynamic of characters and comedy.
And to the guy hating on this show due to the Irish potato famine and an island surrounded by fish: ITS A FICTITIOUS COMEDY, GET OVER IT! If that offends you, then Family Guy shouldn't even be aired!
Great music, Gillies & Leary have amazing father-daughter chemistry, Elaine Hendrix's performances blew me away, didn't know she could actually ACT....LOVE her in this show!
Hoping another season is soon to come!
