Leo (2023)
Much funnier than I expected.
So many references for adults to recognize, so many visual "funnies" for children to laugh at. The "anti-musical" musical numbers are well thought. It's obvious the musical aspect is kinda like Shrek with it's music, to be different from disney musicals. I am tired of Pixar's and Disney's too emotional animations. This one is more balanced.
An elderly main character is bold. We normally get cute young people or animals as protagonists. Is different from what we always get. It doesn't quite follow the formulas of recent animations.
Adam Sandler deserves some praise for this one. I'm not saying it's a classic, but it is absolutely entertaining.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Dennis Takes a Mental Health Day (2023)
Incredible smart and finally funny
I was a little let down by this season which have very intelligent and well-produced episode, but just not funny. I hadn't had any big laughs before this episode. Glenn KILLED in this one. What an amazing actor. I felt every bit of anger he felt in it as I absolutely share the same frustrations.
The style the show has changed. Not for better or worse. It went from just silly funny to smart storytelling with a comic aspect. But his one really solidified this new style and I don't hate it at all. I miss the old silly sunny with quick scenes, but I also like this new one with longer, slower-paced ones.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Risk E. Rat's Pizza & Amusement Center (2023)
A passing grade - I would like laugh, though
I love this show so much. But this season, there aren't many laughs. The episodes are super smart and cool, but I haven't felt what I used to in the first 12 seasons. I feel the actors don't play the same characters even though the idea of the show is that the characters don't grow. Charlie feels tired, The character used to be over-the-top loud and energetic. The same for mac. Dennis, Dee and Frank haven't changed a lot, so I like it, but without Mac's energy since the season he became gay, he's another character, so depressed, he sounds he's sad all the time, nothing about being gay or not. Maybe that was just a coincidence. I feel it's not the jokes that got bad, it's the timing, something inside the editor's room. Like the first episodes of this season that had many scenes ending without the familiar music playing as a "laugh track" to make things lighter. This one was better in this aspect. All in all, a good episode, not so funny though.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Frank vs. Russia (2023)
This was so wrong... In the Sunny way
This one had so many callbacks. Dennis showed his creepiness so well. The two plotlines seemed disconnected, but connected completely by rhe end. This really felt like old-times IASIP as I hadn't felt foe a long time. The actors were also more energetic like they used to be up to season 12. Also, the music is back. I don't know who was responsible for the music in the first 3 episodes but its timing was so off. The episodes felt silent without the typical music instead of the laugh track. It really made me feel super uncomfortable as this show used to cause me to be in the past. Super cringe worthy.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: The Eye (2022)
Unbelievably badly written
I'll not write so much, because it's not worth it.
Crazy battles in which a character comes from one site to save the day when he was actually at the opposite side before. Nonsense.
Volcano eruption with cold ashes. Do you have any idea of the temperature volcanic ashes like that reach? Thousands of degrees F. Even if they get colder along they way they would absolutely burn everybody's skins and lungs. But... important characters can't die, right?
Harfoots are horrible and evil!!! If your foot is broken, we leave you behind. If some problem coms up in the forest, we find someone to blame and basically sentence them to death. Isn't it supposed to be a tribe? Don't tribes exist to support it's members? Why would anyone be part of a tribe which does not care for the wounded? This writing makes absolutely no sense.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: A Shadow of the Past (2022)
Unjustified hero, rac!st hobbits and more
First.a Are we supposed to support this Galadriel even if her stubbornness comes out of feelings and no reasonable argument? Why are all the others wrong and she's right? Just because? Can't the show even act as if she had trouble fighting? She needs no effort to kill a massive monster. A hero that is just invincible is always boring.
Somebody explain to me how people in the same tribe can be totally Caucasian and others totally black. Don't they mix? Isn't there any interracial relationship? And where have the black hobbits gone at the time of The Lord of The Rings? Will they be killed off in this series? Yes, Harfoots are hobbits, one of the three kinds.
How can a couple see each other and not let a smile out? Are we supposed to believe they feel anything for each other?
A bar scene? Really? No creativity at all? A guy entering a bar and being stared at? Is that the Middle-Earth from Amazon?
I'm trying to give it a chance, but wow...!!!
The three stars are for the mostly good visuals.
The Orville: Domino (2022)
What to say? Philosophy, politics, CGI, ethics, heart and so much more
I don't have a lot to say. This episode was just close to perfect to me. Complex plot, unlikely alliances, it was just very surprising. Rain, calm, storm and then a beacon of sunlight.
The Orville: Twice in a Lifetime (2022)
A perfect sci-fi episode or maybe movie...
The moral dilemma in this episode is unique up to this time. I have never seen it before, had never thought of it before, and couldn't even come up with that even in my wildest speculations. It doesn't focus on tech, although tech is involved, it doesn't rely on space, even though space is involved. Is that heroic, or villainous? In that place he cared so much, but of course outside he couldn't care about it because he hadn't experienced that. Wow!!! It's just clever and deeply emotional. Hell... I cried when he cried. The acting was fantastic. And I think this will come back around. This is not over, for sure.
The Orville: A Tale of Two Topas (2022)
A fantastic episode thought to be woke, but actually... it is not
It was beautifully written to a point that doesn't feel preachy. I was ready for comedy and sci-fi, but even being a drama, it got me.
Notice that it is not really about transitioning, it's about DEtransitioning. A kid, who didn't have a choice, was changed, but the change didn't change the inside, so when the kid finds out about it wants to undo what was forcefully done. It shows the horror of what it is to change kids without their full understanding of what is happening, and then finally correcting the first mistake.
The moclan reality is completely different from human's. They CAN reproduce being all male, which on Earth would be an ALL-FEMALE society in case females could reproduce without males. We don't know the role females play in reproduction in Moclus. It seems the roles are inverted. Woke individuals think their point is being made, but actually that's a completely hypothetical reality with different rules that we couldn't fully understand, and a mistake is being corrected, the surgical procedure was reversed.
In a time with so many people detransitioning, this is really relevant. It doesn't matter what you do to your body, you are who you are.
It can be taken as a woke anti-woke episode. I know the producers used the trick of having the first surgery perform to making people like me to agree with what happened here. What they maybe don't know is that what they did is actually what is right. Changing Topa's body, didn't change who she was, and now she's back to being her natural self, not the other way around.
Besides the idea of one parent taking a decision against the other about a surgery in a minor (we don't know how old she, born female, is), the discussion on the ethical dilemmas is fantasticly done.
How I Met Your Father: Pilot (2022)
It was actually a pleasant surprise
I know most people will criticize the show by absolutely comparing to the original How I Met Your Mother and it's very hard to fall in love with an all new cast right away. But the new show seems to have its feet on the ground. They didn't try to fly higher than they could, the plot was simple, updated to recent tech, habits with the same feel of the pilot of the first show.
Haters will hate and blind defenders of HIMYM will not like this one at first. HIMYM was one my my favorite shows of all time, but I'm really open to this new one.
Dexter: New Blood: Sins of the Father (2022)
What do you want? A happy ending?
The end was amazing. Amazingly acted. The plot of the season came to a real consistent conclusion. People still expect Dexter to have a soap opera ending. It was consistent with the style. The low grades is from people who clearly don't get the show's feel. It's a show about crime and death, folks.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: The Gang Buys a Roller Rink (2021)
I love this show, why so not funny now?
What is happening? I want to laugh, there just aren't any punchlines in these new episodes. Where is the music between scenes? It sounds like a drama. I can't tell what the difference is, but something's off. The episodes are smart, but not comedic.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: The Gang Makes Lethal Weapon 7 (2021)
After a weak start, now THIS is IASIP!!
The first episode was political, which is not bad. Previous political episodes were hilarious and smart for punching both sides and making everybody wrong at the end. The last one was just preachy towards one side only.
This one is more like it!!! They got a topic, and made both sides look stupid in very funny ways, which is a great characteristic of the show.
Talking about how things should move in the right direction, but that going there destroys the fun is a great base for great laughs and debate at the same time.
So GREAT!!!
(anyway... lethal weapon 5 and 6 were not offensive at all. They didn't mock a race, they mocked people who don't see how stupid they are, Mac and Dennis. Both episodes were just hilarious. I can say "The sky is blue" and some people will feel offended cause they can't see color. Feeling offended is not the same as offending, and they didn't offend anybody.)
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: 2020: A Year In Review (2021)
My favorite show, not a great episode.
This episode was good, don't get me wrong. But it wasn't great. To be sincere, I smiled the whole time, but didn't laugh even once. It was a very intelligent episode, but there was something about the pacing. Something felt different, some scenes which would normally be cut sooner, took longer to end. The F. Gump idea was super cool, but where are the laughs? It's like I get the point, it's genius, but there's no punchline, unlike the IASIP that I know.
I usually love their political episodes cause they show both sides of a matter and at the end, everybody is wrong and stupid. That's the amazing and funny thing. Now it's just preachy. WTH??? Why the change? Keep the positive features. I only saw them showing whoever is a conservative is an idiot. It used to criticize everybody. And nobody can say "it's because you are a republican", I'm not even American and have never visited the country, I just love great TV like IASIP and follow what happens in the US in the political field. This is just another great show falling into the woke category. It used to be incredible for NOT falling into any basic category.
It's a very great TV show episode, but not a great IASIP comedic one.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (2005)
This show is fantastic, but it's falling
Sadly, comedy is starting to lose to woke culture in Philadelphia. Sad seeing my favorite show like it is now.
This show has made me laugh so much since the first episode. It used to be edgy, not preachy, showing both sides of a situation then making everybody wrong, but now it does start to seem too preachy.
Hot Fuzz (2007)
So fun. Fun ahead of funny
It's just so entertaining with that flashes style I had never seen. It is so fast paced it seems I have watched a whole season of a series. Amazing. I just don't give a 10 cause it didn't make me laugh more than twice, but the fun overcomes that.
10 jours en or (2012)
Unexpectedly great
This is wrongfully put as comedy in my opinion. It's a heartwarming drama in which 4 real misfits are brought together to change each other's lives. A very touching sad/happy story.
Coming 2 America (2021)
Not what I expected.
I thought it wouldn't be just one of a thousand militant movies out there. No story, just an attempt to profit over nostalgia and preach the leftist agenda. Please, be leftist, jut don't ruin what could be great movies.
Why were there so few jokes in it? Good moments but no great moments. The comedy was left out. Too much pegeantry.
A waste of an opportunity to be different from so many modern sequels that ruin old movies and shows.
Downsizing (2017)
Misunderstood movie - not comedy, sci-fi
I guess many people felt disappointed because whenever they see Kristen Wigg they think of comedy, but this movie is nothing like that.
This is what great sci-fi should be like. A crazy premise that is taken seriously and developed not just like drama or any cheesy Hollywood flick.
I just feel that the trailer and the posters don't lead the public to understand what the movie is really about. That's a sad publicity flop.
I was really positively surprised with how much the movie got into the sci-fi aspect of an imminent catastrophe.
All in all, a very nice experience.
Away (2020)
Good acting, ridiculous si-fi
Just a list of points.
- Astronauts are chosen, no unstable or hard-to-work-with person would be selected.
- Si-fi lovers are not that db to accept so many inconsistencies for dramatic purposes.
- Si-fi haters won't watch it so keep the melodrama for soap operas and be more realistic
- In Si-fi, even fantasy-created realities need a logical
Etc. Etc. Etc.
Poor actors.... So good in such a poorly constructed script and without any fact check.
