I'm not sure if a majority of the ratings of this horrendous TV show are fake, or if we as a society are such brain-dead sheep that we conform to whatever the media sells and tells us. This show has nothing good about it. Nothing. The only the potentially interesting aspect, the story, is absolutely butchered. It's not unique, it's just like every other lame American High School drama with heavy themes forced in to try and seem edgy and relevant, and the way it handles these themes is so incredibly insensitive and, for a lack of a better word, stupid. This is not how we should be talking about suicide. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, ever. Don't watch it. Not even out of curiosity. This has left a sour taste in my mouth, and it will leave one in yours too.

The Dangers of Hype
3 April 2017
I came into this movie not knowing anything about it, besides the fact that it was an adaption. I avoided trailers, news, and even the IMDb page, which is usually my bible and helps me decide on what movies I see. I was absolutely blow away. The look, the story, the acting, all spectacular. I enjoyed every second. I felt every emotion. I was amazed by every visual. I walked out of the cinema in awe. Then, I checked the IMDb page and was absolutely shocked to see it had a score of 6.9. This is a excellent example of why hype is a dangerous weapon, especially against adaptions or remakes. This really opened my eyes towards movie criticism and reviews. I urge everyone to do as I did more often, not give movies unrealistic expectations, and rip it to pieces when it disappoints you. Instead, put your preconceived notions behind you, appreciate the countless hours of work and incredible effort the filmmakers put in, and remember why we watch movies: to enjoy.
Got what I paid for
30 March 2016
I walked into the cinema expecting a brawl between Batman and Superman, not the next Shawshank Redemption. I got what I wanted. People are reviewing this with astronomical expectations. What else did you think you were going to get out of a movie called Batman v. Superman? Ben Affleck played a very good worldly Batman, the cinematography was good, the score was beautiful, there were visually appealing special effects, what more could you want? It's not going to win any Oscars, but it certainly isn't worthy of all the negativity it's getting. Sure, the plot was pretty lame, but I didn't expect anything more, and neither should anyone else. Go see this if you're looking for exactly what the title says, you get what you want.
What this show was supposed to be...
17 February 2016
This episode was absolutely amazing. It was what I initially wanted out of watching The Walking Dead. Drama, suspense, and of course, mass walker slaughter! I was on the edge of my seat for the entire episode, anxious to see what would be happening next. I even found myself gripped during scenes that involved characters I didn't particularly care for or didn't like at all. Best of all, we get to see some of our favorite characters kick some serious ass, which was extremely satisfying to watch. I hope this is the standard the rest of the show will stay at, though it will always have a place in my heart and my support. Looking forward to the next episode!
The Visit
(I) (2015)
The best worst movie ever
16 October 2015
Warning: Spoilers
I saw this expecting it to be terrible, and terrible it was. I couldn't contain my laughter at the entire stupidity of this movie. Half of it didn't make sense, the jokes weren't funny, the main girl is pretentious and annoying, the boy is also extremely irritating and his raps make my ears bleed. The only part that kept me walking out of the cinema was that twist in the middle. WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA???? WHO FUNDED THIS?!?!?
I tried writing a review of this, but I couldn't, so instead I'm just going to do a quick Cinema Sins thing and list all the things that don't make sense in this movie. Spoilers ahead.
Why didn't the mother show the kids any pictures of her parents, how did they afford two really good quality and expensive cameras, why did that kid rap in front of his grandma, why did they keep going out after 9:30 pm if they saw their grandma not only puking, but NAKED, why didn't they tell the mother everything they saw, how were the grandparents always 'out' when visitors came, why did they leave that girl hanging on that tree for all to see, what was up with that alien story, why didn't THE KIDS RUN, why did she actually get inside the oven, why did he all of a sudden get all weird and personal with that 'you think you're worthless' talk with his sister, why was he zooming in on the camera why did they not just pretend they were sick, how were the grandparents paying the bills, how did the grandparents have internet, why did the kids not fight back, why did the boy just stand there while the grandma LOCKED HIS SISTER IN THE OVEN, why the boy just stands there and let the grandpa shove literal s**t in his face, why did the boy go absolutely insane, why did the grandma stare in the water, why did the fake grandparents kill the real grandparents and take care of their grandkids, why was the grandma smart enough to ruin the girls laptop camera but not smart enough to destroy the ethernet cable, why did the police not suspect the kids of just being murderers, why were they absolutely bats**t crazy, but only at certain times, why did the grandma get uncomfortable when they talked about the daughter, why was the ending so terrible, why did the boy have an expensive camera and laptop, but a s**t mobile phone?
But, the most pressing question of all, why in gods name did that girl wear that UGLY yellow turtleneck sweater?!?!?!
I have so many more questions, but my brain needs a rest. 10/10 worst movie ever would see again
TL;DR: Terrible movie that doesn't make sense but funny sometimes without meaning to be.
