They should have had a Vulcan play Jesus. Then it would have been perfect.

Anne with an E (2017– )

Season 1 was a 10
5 January 2020
But PC crowd got in and slowly ruined the show. I stopped watching at episode 7 of season 2.

If they'd let me rate seasons separately i'd still give season 1 a 10. But the politically correct ruined the show. And it's not just the creeping homosexuality and racism, it's a general lack of vision about what the characters were. Too bad as season one was one of my favorites. It's amazing how fast different writers with a different agenda from the original can ruin a show. And it doesn't matter how slowly and gently they try to slip the PC on us, it still gets ruined.

So...... i've changed my original rating from a 10 to a 1 in the second season. I won't bother watching the 3rd season. I already know it will be more PC and a much less interesting story.

tough chick in 'lost'...
4 January 2020
3 episodes were enough for me.

netflix put out a few good shows at the end of 2019, but this wasn't one of them. It's just another 'tough chick' flick. Bad acting with a hard to follow plot. Another theme is 'most men are bad'. This one might appeal to the politically correct, but not to most people.

Season one: Another good series from netflix!
3 January 2020
This is another great little series from netflix! That's 2 in a row!

The lead is a beautiful and smart, vulnerable woman. She isn't tough, she's sweet. I don't want to give up any spoilers and i think you'll be pleasantly surprised. It's got some science fiction sprinkled in with science fact.

You've got some good writers for this one. Please keep them.

Just watched season 3 and i could barely get through it. I gave season 1 a 9, season 2 as 7, and season 3 a 3. What a shame it went down hill so much.

It had a likeable cast, and not a lot of PC. I don't know why i found it so boring. Maybe there was too much focus on the young girl, Aden. Maybe there was too much inadvertent virtue signaling. What ever it was, it didn't live up to the first two seasons. What a waste of a talented cast.

season one: keeps you guessing
3 January 2020
Just when you think you have it figured out... things change.

It's a quality series that has me looking forward to next season.

Please just keep the same writers. Don't ruin this series with political correctness.

The Machinist (2004)

a long twilight zone...
11 September 2019
Now i know why the first twilight zones were a half hour long. This movie would have been better if it had been an hour or maybe a little less. Any fan of the original twilight zones would have been able to tell you how this one ends.

Still, even though it was too long, it was a good story. Would have been better with less drama too. Pack all the punch into the last few minutes, instead of the long build up. Just sayin'... could have been better.

Surprising how good this series was. I wish it would go on longer. Great acting and writing. Kudos to all those involved.

Pretty bad...
28 July 2019
Simplistic plots with childish banter garnished with forced acting. No thanks.

Stay away..
7 March 2019
A creepy movie that i couldn't stand to watch for more than 15-20 minutes. The only reason i tried watching it is because some 'news' show claimed everyone 'had' to see it.

A couple decades ago i could probably have watched it all the way, but i know that it would still have affected me very badly.

Unless you're doing some type of research, i don't see why anyone should watch this movie. You don't need it for defense as just about anyone could see what was going to happen from a mile away.

All that will happen is you'll see other people experience a great deal of pain through their own naivety.

There is another movie that i've warned family and friends no to see. 'An American Crime' will simply make people feel terrible for many reasons. There was no good to watching that movie either. It filled me with such anger that i felt like killing some of the people (not the actors) involved in that supposedly true story. Abducted in Plain Sight made me start to feel like the other movie, so i had to stop watching. I think there are some movies that decent producers just shouldn't make. Same with many cable tv shows these days.

I guess i'm just droning on now, but i'd recommend that no one watch this ugly movie.

a lot to work with...
2 February 2019
But immediately gets mired in political correctness. on top of that much of the acting is poor. the plot is good and i like sci-fi, but for me, the pc crap is unwatchable.

Unfaithful to the original comic book.
12 June 2016
The movie industry is making mistake after mistake. It started with the first Spiderman movie. Parker gets unmasked apparently just to selfishly show the actor's face. So they sacrifice the secret that only the audience or reader was supposed to know. His true identity!

Then they really went off the deep end in Fantastic Four 2015. Trank was apparently PROUD he didn't follow the original comic book.

For the next FF, I think it would be good if they made the entire cast black. They could also have Sue and Johnny have an incestuous relationship while making Reed and Ben gay. I'm sure that would pack 'em in!

I seriously doubt I'll bother to go see another superhero movie. And I grew up with those comics. I used to get a kick out of them. But they've taken political correctness to the Nth degree and I'm not going to pay another dime to see any again.

This review probably won't pass the political correctness test, but that's OK. Then the industry doesn't find out about their mistakes until they go belly up. They deserve to be out of business for cranking out this kind of trash.
