Wonderwall (1968)
A painfully slow slog.
Every scene could have been cut much shorter with no loss of content or story development. It seemed like they were simply trying to fill a 92 minute time slot.
I hope the Quality Control office of the Water Authority replaced the Professor with automated equipment. I would not trust his analyses.
Monster SeaFood Wars (2020)
A very well done Mockumentary
Although subtitled, this movie is a whole lot funnier If you speak Japanese. The speakers use so many levels of politeness from very formal to downright rude. I really enjoyed the fake attempt to make a serious documentary. The whole production is an obvious joke that is shared between the viewer, director, producer, and the actors. Well done.
I want to try some of that sushi!
Spy Smasher (1942)
Furniture Smasher
So much furniture is smashed during the multitude of fight scenes. Maybe he should change his name to Furniture Smasher.
It's predictable fare but still fun to watch.
The Andromeda Strain (2008)
I wanted to like this but it just got too ridiculous.
OK, the graphics, CGI, and sets looked very modern and whiz-bang. But any story, even science fiction needs to have a hint of a plot that makes sense and flows.
If someone is trying to send an important message to Earth they can do it a lot easier than by moving atoms on molecules. ASCII? Really? How about sending a text.
I don't know about you guys but if something large fell from the sky at a speed that made a it glow red-white hot and leave flame and a smoke trail for miles I don't think I would pick it up and put it in the back of my Subaru. I sure as heck wouldn't try to open it or take it apart. I'd dial 911.
Things went downhill from there.
Apollo 11 (2019)
Fantastic footage! But, why is the font so small?
So inspiring!
There is so much room in the frame. There was plenty of space to have legible text. Why make it so small?
Even the credits are so small as to be unreadable. Next time splurge and bump of the font size a point or two.
Murder Mountain (2018)
Interesting subject but bloated with scene repetitions.
I really enjoyed the subject matter and would have given this a 9 or 10 had it been only 3 episodes long.
It looks like someone had a drone and spend a day or so flying over some beautiful scenery. Those scenes get boring after you see them 3, 4, 5... times. The same is true of the reenactments. How many times did we need to see the shooting reenactment? I lost count at 6.
The numbers and finances were eye opening. A little more time spent there, even 5 minutes, would have helped explain the draw to this lifestyle.
How are these people surviving? Do any of them pay property tax? Do they all get welfare/public assistance/social security checks?
And does anyone there know the past tense of see is "saw." ;-)
The show is definitely worth watching but feel free to watch while doing something else.
Da hong zha (2018)
Truly awful!
Yes, the CGI was good and interesting for the first 5, 10, 15 minutes but after that it is repetitive and predictable. The story line is absurd and predictable as well.
You know what will happen next. The dud bomb will go off just when everyone thinks they are safe. The Japanese will bomb every building but the next day there are new buildings to bomb. The Chinese are right on the spot wasting precious water putting out fires that are just burning sticks.
This movie is an embarrassment. Unless they were paid I don't see how anyone could rate this a 10.
Don't waste your time.
