From (2022)
What a waste of time
I haven't watched LOST for probably the same reasons I shouldn't have watched "From" either. Extending a story as much as possible for no apparent reason but filling tv time. This is unfortunately the norm nowadays. And it should stop. I prefer the one season series that are compact and without unnecessary stuff that doesn't provide anything essential to the story.
I watched both seasons expecting something to happen but I ended up fast-forwarding episodes to skip all the "human relationships" cr@p. And guess what? Nothing really happens after all. No more for me, I'm done. When the new season comes out I will probably watch the last episode and save me the effort.
The Exorcist (2016)
Quite boring
It started off OK and I expected more but it soon turned out to be quite boring and even laughable. The script was promising but it just was not taken advantage of.
A few scenes that had some OK effects but other than that, too much blah-blah-blah... The part where Geena Davis is repossesed was the worst part. She acted like a mobster and not like a demon. But the scene that almost made me cry from laughs was the part where she is beating up the demon and the demon begs her to come back. Seriously??
Midnight Mass (2021)
Pure genious!
I am reading some reviews that mention that the series is kinda slow moving. I guess that you need to go to a mass to realise that some things are meant to move slowly.
The monologues are also quite long sometimes. Still, I never thought them as tiring but I found them quite interesting and close to the general idea. Long like the reading of the gospel, I guess.
The symbolisms and the metaphors are excellent! Religion and faith have good intentions but sometimes fail to deliver. Redemption usually comes from within and not from above or below. But organised church (Bev Keane), that's a different story altogether... We are talking about pure evil and organised crime.
The process to the Easter Mass was truly enchanting. One could only think about "lambs to the slaughter".
The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021)
Almost as boring as the second of the three
The first of the Conjuring films did the job. It actually gave me goosebumps. The second one was really boring. The best description I can think of is "a horror film for the entire christian family". The third film falls on the same category. A complete waste of time. I felt like watching an 80's tv series of the "Little house on the prairie" style. Bad clothing and ethics for the masses.
I Care a Lot (2020)
Even one star is too much
The most childish script I can remember in my life. OK, maybe I have seen other films with bad scripts but this one I will remember for a long time.
And the acting! Oh god! So predictable!
Greenland (2020)
Definitely not a disaster movie
It lacks special effects that make your average disaster movie watchable. So what you are left with is a movie with a bad script and lots of characters doing stuff that noone in their right set of mind would do.
The Expanse (2015)
Minus two stars for Season 4
When I watched the first season of the Expanse, I could tell that there was something really interesting there. The effects were not the best one has seen but they were still quite decent. The most captivating aspect of the series was the scientific approach and the politics as well.
Season 2 really launched the series. And season 3 kept it high. And then came season 4. What a disappointment! Full of cliches, screwing up all the good work that was put in character creation and focusing in the completely trivial aspects of the storyline. How can it be that Amazon messed up a series that Syfy managed to keep really high for three seasons?
51 (2011)
Ever heard of Oedipus?
Like him, I want to pluck my eyes out after watching that trash. Or cut my head off and throw it in a blender.
The aliens were really -no, I mean REALLY- badly made, the script sucked big time, the special effects had moved to another galaxy, and the acting was equivalent to the ones you would expect from any soap opera.
I would have enjoyed any Patty episode more than this. I feel that I should go back to therapy and tell my group mates how I am wasting my life watching stupid films like this.
Trust me... Do not watch this!
