House of the Dragon (2022)
behold: the hillbillie version of GoT
The costumes and sets are a credit, but they are the only credit, because the characters are missing there are no actors that leave a lasting impact, their roles are shallow, non sensical, and one dimesnional i their emotions,, the scenes are boring and do not evoke any emotion, the scenes are wrong, they lack any real impact, it is like watching pictures from a cheap calendar hanging on the wall in a garage.. (not a dentist, the scenes are all dark in dark, that goes better with greasy metal tools than a clean waiting room) I tried to watch season one and it was a real struggle, season 2 is so much worse, I couldn't get past episode 2. There is no one to root for, no one to cheer for, no one to fancy, just ugly boring people doing lowly acts of betrayal, self deception and greed. I see no development, and the scene where Rhaenyris watches the dustflakes, that was just the most expensive play for time I have yet to see in a movie. Pointless and what a waste of so many people's time and talents. The writers and directors should be fired and made to pay damages. This spin off is dragging the good name of GoT through some brown, boring mud.. the things people do for money.
Flo and Joan: Alive on Stage (2019)
refreshing and ballsy
Love their act, love what they do, despite the strong flashbacks to Garfunkel and Oates. At first I thought they were doing a tribute act, but they are not.
I know it is a common theme to see entire tv series being copied from one continent to the next, from one language to another, but with american and english being so close, it doesn't help to dispel the Garfunkel and Oates echoes I keep hearing in Flo and Joan's songs..
Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)
abuse is not sexy
I feel so sorry for the writer, I hope she gets therapy.
Barry Lyndon (1975)
Worst cosplay ever..
While photographically perfect, everything else is just so irritatingly fake, how can anyone lavish praise on this, is beyond me.
'Irish rogue' he is supposed to portray, but O'Neal with his irritating yankee voice doesn't even try to act, he just stands around looking doe-eyed and dumb.
Not to mention the background 'music'. Guess the budget ran out, but silence is better than the endless monotony of two geeks listlessly torturing a recorder. My poor ears..
Unwatchable in every sense, unless you're high, it may seem funny then, now it's just embarassing. No wonder it never pops up, untill the bottomtrawling Netflix spewed it into my suggestions. .
Roll Red Roll (2018)
Shining a light on toxic group behaviour in an all male environment
This documentary shows how everyone enables monsters when they are rich, famous or in any way more popular than their victims.
It shows the use of social media in outing predators to the rest of the world. Whatever age, colour, religion or gender. Monsters exist, and we breed them by looking away, by emphazising narcissistic goals, by praising beauty and sociopathic behaviour over decency and empathy.
This town is not the worst, nor the first and sadly not the last place where this happens, it happens every day all over the world, and we need to put a stop to this tidal wave of inexcusably monstrous behaviour, they wreck lives of too many, their actions costs society way too much time and resources, not to mention the deficit of all those victims who could have contributed so much more if they hadn't been damaged to the extent that they were.
Do not laugh about rape, do not mock a victim,. Do not give into your baser instincts to side with the monsters just because that's where the power lay for so long. We are taking back our power, we are not tolerating their games any longer. We are many many more than the predators, and finally we are standing up to them!
This documentary shows why lawyers do not deserve respect just because they have a degree, if they twist the lwa to suit the needs od monsters, they are the same as their clients.
Fyre (2019)
Lovely when Justice decides to tipp the scales for a while
Like most, I had never heard of this so called event, but the documentary was refreshing and eye opening, the amount of dumb rich kids out there is staggering, all the idiots who signed up for this 'feast of commercial indulgence' deserved exactly what they got.
That cheese sandwich really sums it all up nicely: half the world would be grateful to have that much, but the Fyre festival morons felt like they were experiencing hardship. Boo-hoo.
Maybe people need to learn to think things through for themselves again instead of channeling their inner lemming all the time.
And parents might want to curb their offsprings' spending a tad, if they can afford this kind of nonsense they clearly have too much money available.
True festivals are not about luxury.
Criminal Minds (2005)
After Mandy Patinkin left it went from great to meh
This used to be a great series, educational, amazing cameras hots, literally a great way to tell the stories.. untill Mandy Patinkin left and the gore and violence started to be equalled with ratings, from then on the whole thing went into decline and even my adoration of Matthew Gray Gubler couldn't save it for me. It started to become a sad little charade of what it once was.. that made it painful to watch, even though I did try several times, but the disappointment just grew each time. Do yourself a favour: bingewatch the first 3 seasons and leave the rest to the fans of gore and violence.
Mindhunter (2017)
Waiting for saeson 3 to pick up where season 1 left off
Loved season 1, it was educational, didn't like season 2 as much because it seemed to only focus on the one case, I would have preferred if they'd covered more serial killers instead of dwelling so long on the Atlanta child killer. Maybe that's because they covered the 'active'investigation rather than talk to the convict in jail.. I have seen too many documentaries on that particular case and to see it rehashed in such great detail didn't add anything. I was looking forward to more interviews with perpetrators, the way they did in season 1. That was amazing acting, Edmund Kemper to a T, stunningly accurate when you compare it to reality. If only they'd have given the Atlanta child killer the same amount of scrutiny, maybe they didn't because he wasn't convicted of all of the murders? It made season 2 feel rushed somehow.. more sensational and less academic. Hope they get back to their original way of telling the story.
Zombie Tidal Wave (2019)
Worst makeup ever
The zombie face paint was of a skill level normally only seen in primary school musicals, or on students during Halloween. It looked like an enthousiastic crafts teacher had tried really hard to make it look scary but working with the pallette of the springfestival children's fairy facepaint kinda really hampered their creative ambitions.
The acting was bad, comedic without the jokes, that bad.. but still it could distract me from that stunningly awfull facepaint, who in their right mind could think that was a good idea? It is a blight on a genre that has produced such gems as Z Nation and the Walking Dead, the producers of this thing really need to be ashamed of themselves. Even Zombieland was way better than this.
