Psycho: The Lost Tapes of Ed Gein (2023)

It was ok

[5/10 · 13 October 2023]

As soon as I heard about this series I went and subscribed to mgm+ immediately. To think I was gonna finally hear ed geins voice after all these years. It wasn't what I had hoped for though. It was still interesting to hear Ed's voice but he said "thats right" 50% of the time. There were some photos I had never seen before like the house being burnt down some of thr pics that a neighbor took of it. The series could of easily been 2 shows not 4. They said the same thing over and over at times. Plus the last podcast on the left especially the toolbag in the middle, I think his name was Henry really tried their hardest to make me hate this show cause they brought nothing to it.

Death on the Nile (2022)

Average at best

[5/10 · 11 May 2022]

Kenneth Branagh needs to stop remaking christie movies. The Rosalie character alone was enough to turn it off. Very annoying character. Russell brand and armie hammer were good. Branagh please stop playing poirot.

Deadfall (2012)

Writing stinks

[5/10 · 1 April 2022]

The writing is awful especially the police officers. The cops are jokes except for of course the female who is smarter then everybody else and nobody will listen to her or treat her fairly especially her father.eric bana's accent is awful. They can't decide if bana is an anti hero is just a horrible person. He kills a cop but then saves the little girl from the abusive step-dad.

Bad Hombres (2020)

Political trash

[1/10 · 2 March 2022]

I was interested in this because I thought it was a baseball documentary about a team in Mexico. It wasn't. It was anti Trump propaganda. The clip that had me turn it off was showing Trump saying some of the dangerous people who could illegally come into the country and they cut to mothers getting out of a van with their kids. Such trash. Not surprised the guy who made it used to work at VICE.

Resident Alien (2021– )

Going down

[5/10 · 14 February 2022]

Season 1 was good and was funny. Its episode 3 and its going down hill quickly. This season they have gone away from funny and putting more woke trash which is tiresome.

History of Horror (2018–2021)

Woke history of horror

[1/10 · 2 November 2021]

Complete trash. Every episode just pushes some woke agenda instead of the actual movies. I also can't believe there are people who get a PhD in film. There are plenty other documentaries about horror films that are worth watching over this junk.

Body Cam (2018– )

Cprl Van Tassel should be fired

[6/10 · 28 July 2021]

The episode i saw with cprl Van Tassel of the Spokane pd was unreal. Van tassell said he went after the guy because he drove past him and gave him a weird look he then followed the guy into a sex shop and immediately said the guy was being detained for what he never does say.he puts him in a rear naked choke hold that the idiot couldn't even put on correctly. I hope that guy sued the dept and van tassell was fired.

Clarice (2021)

Julianne Moore version of clarice

[4/10 · 25 February 2021]

This show is more in line with how Julianne Moore played the part of Clarice in Hannibal then it is how Jodie Foster played the character and thats not a good thing

Clarice (2021)

Not good

[4/10 · 18 February 2021]

It's like whoever writes this watched the movie Hannibal but not Silence of the Lambs because the actress playing Clarice plays the character more like Julianne Moore in hannibal then Jodie Foster did and thats not a good thing

Dummy (2020)

Original?

[1/10 · 29 January 2021]

I guess everybody saying this is so original has never seen Lars and the real girl

The Invisible Man (I) (2020)

Ugh

[1/10 · 1 December 2020]

So many things. Who leaves paint in their attic with the top off of it? Why did the cop leave his own house with his daughter after the slap instead of throwing her out? Why didn't she get her own place with that money? She needed to be prettier if he was the type of rich guy they were going for. I only made it half way through and cut it off. I'm curious if they explain how he faked his murder

History of Horror (2018–2021)

Terrible

[1/10 · 15 November 2020]

Eli Roths History of politics in horror movies. Terrible show

Lost in America (1985)

He should of divorced her

[6/10 · 19 September 2020]

The movie is good but frustrating , as usual it shows that women don't have to be responsible for anything . The wife loses over 100,000 dollars gambling and blames him to the point that she leaves and he has to chase her. Only a cuckold wimp would chase a woman after that. I get that point is the movie is funnier with them being broke and it pushes the movie forward but it was done bad.

The Alienist (2018–2020)

Not very good

[4/10 · 5 August 2020]

I was looking forward to this show. Its the kind of stuff I like the most. Mystery murder shows set between 1800s and early 1900s. As a fan of the books also this has been a total let down. They also did something I didn't think could happen it made me cringe eveytime luke evans wining crybaby wimp self is on screen. I knew they would push the feminsit propaganda early in season 1 but it has just continued every episode into season 2 to the point of being unbearable. How many times have they pointed out that she drinks whiskey and has guns cause you know she is such a badass lol.

Criminal Minds: Jones (2007) Season 2, Episode 18

Terrible

[1/10 · 17 September 2019]

They completely make up things about the ripper case to fit their narrative like the ripper renting the room where he mutilated mary Kelly. Also they really forced sympathy for a serial killer. That never occurs when the killer is a male.

I Am the Night (2019)

Had potential

[2/10 · 26 February 2019]

They push on commercials that this about the black dahlia and George hodel. Then I watch it and I'm through episode 5 and it has very very little to do with either. It's basically just about fauna finding her mother. The racial stuff is forced and over the top. There is more racial stuff then black dahlia and George hodel. It's terrible

True Story (I) (2015)

Not true

[6/10 · 7 January 2019]

The part where the wife cones to prison to talk to longo and plays the music with the story from the early 1600s about the composer killing his wife her lover then bashing his newborn child head against the side of his crib till death isn't true. Yes he killed the wife and her lover but wow talk about adding some b.s. with the killing the newborn son. The child died as a grown man and it wasn't at the hands of his father. As a matter of fact the gather died 3 weeks after his child. This is called true story and they make up such a big lie what else is complete b.s. in this story
