The American Society of Magical Negroes (2024)

Whaaaaat?!

[1/10 · 5 May 2024]

I'm not sure what the point or lesson was suppose to be, but as a black person I kept praying this was a joke and that the real "Society of Magical Negroes" would reveal itself. No matter your race, it's a cringe fest. I felt somewhat embarrassed for the actors. The characters in the story line were a little flat and one dimensional. There were so many wasted opportunities for a thoughtful look at an uncomfortable conversation. The final speech was weak and so melodramatic it lost its true meaning. I struggle to believe the writer was serious about this. If this was suppose to be satire, this also was an epic fail.

Wild Witch (2018)

It's so bad it's funny!

[2/10 · 7 March 2024]

As many of the other reviewers have pointed out, the overuse of the word "wild" is annoying at first and then it is just funny. I kept laughing each time I heard the word. If it weren't for the really bad script and awful dubbing, the story would be decent. It would have probably been more effective to simply provide subtitles. The acting is bad, but could have been overlooked if the script were better. Keep an open and patient mind and have fun counting how many times the word "wild" or phrases with "wild" in it appears in the movie. See if you can get through it without cracking up and having an absolutely Wild time. Just know that the ending is just as bad as the beginning.

Willow (2022–2023)

Terrible dialogue

[5/10 · 20 December 2022]

I know little of the original movie but this series did nothing to make me want to go back and find out. The dialogue through most of the episodes is terrible, and the acting is generally bad. I struggled to understand the original story line since the first episode was so badly presented. I kept watching hoping to piece together the history but it was difficult. The characters are flat and many of the scenes surprisingly predictable. The jokes are forced, corny and too numerous to count. I don't know if this was an expensive series to make, but I doubt the return on their investment will be a good one.
