That '90s Show: Kids in America (2023)
70s Show Meets... Disney Show Acting?
Words cannot describe the absolute enthusiasm I had going into That 90s Show. It really was an amazing feat to know that the cast we loved and knew from That 70s Show we're returning. Nothing was more painful than Eric's replacement in the prior 70s Show. So the chance to see Topher Grace yet again is groundbreaking honestly.
The original cast hits home runs as expected, but their child counterparts, yeah... Not so much. Now this may not be their fault at all. In many aspects the shows treatment of child actors seems to be that of, "Ok now act like you're on a Disney Channel TV show like Hannah Montana or something". I get that they're trying to capture some 90s TV Nostalgia possibly, but the forced nature of the child cast and their lack of ability to really give depth in their acting like the original cast did when they themselves were younger, is a big let down. It all comes down to casting and directing and it just feels like somebody dropped the ball in one of those aspects. Many might think it's harsh to judge the acting of the kids. But that's the business they've entered. It would be disingenuous to not do so when you do for everyone else. There's also the fact that there's plenty of shows with child actors who more than land their roles. That 90s show right now is not it... YET. I think with another season and feedback listened to from the first would prove to be a good opportunity to really push the cast forward.
However I may be putting the cart before the horse as this is only the first episode in the series. Everything is still new for the cast. They're still developing on camera charisma. Perhaps as we continue to move through the ups and downs of the first season things will get better. I'm crossing my fingers. I also am afraid that with Netflix who is as cancel happy with series as an executioner at the gallows , the show may not make it to a second season. I am hoping that's not the case and that Netflix holds off on giving the executioner that release he so desires.
Amy Schumer's Parental Advisory (2022)
Fantastic Comedians; Horrendous Crowd
I'm not sure Why Netflix put this out with this crowd. This was the most dead, uptight crowd for a Comedy special I have ever seen in my life. They could have done this in a morgue and at least one of the bodies would have farted here and there because that would be more reaction from the crowd than this theater had. The comedians were all pretty much really good, but you could tell the crowd was bringing them down and killing the vibe of the whole thing. Amy was trying to butter them up as much as possible. But when you have a crowd like this, it kills a show. It felt like these people thought they were going to a PTA meeting and ended up at a comedy show with no clue what to do with themselves. I mean seriously. Netflix couldn't even just pump in some fake laughter to the theater to sort of get the crowd going better? That's a thing they can do you know? I felt bad. It felt like watching comedians bomb, not because of their material which was good, but because the crowd was like a morgue. Seriously! Film multiple takes, multiple crowds. Get the best ones. Don't just put out a show with a dead crowd. They might as well have had a room full of caskets instead of people in chairs. This is why people don't like Netflix so much anymore. It's not password sharing, it's lack of decently produced and polished material that is the problem. You don't put out a live comedy special with a crowd who thinks they're at the library. You just don't. You do it over and over until you get it right and you use production means to make it better. It just felt so awkward and the comedians felt just as akward, you could tell. Bad call Netflix. Bad call. I feel bad for the Comedians who don't get a good exposure now because of the tension and just overall horribleness of that crowd.
Vampire Academy (2022)
I LOVE THIS SHOW!
Honestly, I love this show! It does an amazing job at giving suspense and some seriously interesting plots and twists. Alot of people who like the books don't seem to like it much, but honestly I never expect a tv show to be a word for word of books or to even follow the entire storyline of a book. That's just not how it usually goes. If they did, it would just be another book. It wouldn't be a TV show that is inspired by the books. I can't wait and hope there is another season because I am in love with these characters and the actors playing them! MORE PLEASE!!! I really do find there to be quite a bit of great effects in this too that seem really well done.
A Christmas Carol (2019)
MUST WATCH! The critics are HUMBUGS!
Far too many went into this expecting the same old. This is an absolutely amazing rendition of this timeless story! It is dark, haunting, and fitting the tale that has transcended time itself. It explores themes of trauma with great detail from all perspectives of all characters. It transcends even the holidays. This is a must watch. Critics have been as expected, negative and judging this version as if it were merely a remake expected to follow an outdated format. The creativity and the amazing storyline is touching, gripping, and worthwhile. Perhaps the critics should care to their own personal hell and put an end to the very humbugary they so imparted from distorted view and judgment best reserved for their own choice or career.
The Happytime Murders (2018)
Much Better Than Most Reviews Make It Seem
Based on some reviews I wasn't sure what to expect, but Happytime Murders was actually much better than I thought it would be! The humor was on point and Melissa McCarthy was fantastic! You would never know she was working with a puppet partner if it weren't for him being, well, a puppet!
I would love to see more of these films be produced as they have a certain nostalgia attached to them. The puppets grew up with us. We don't make the same jokes we did when we were kids. Neither should they! For adults this is a great film that let's you feel that mischeviois inner humor, kind of like when you heard dirty jokes as a teenager. I loved pretty much every moment of this and the creativity behind it. The cast and crew did an amazing job with camera angles and dialogue, as well as managed to impart an absolutely hysterical story line. Not to mention, it was produced by Brian Henson, the son of Jim Henson!!
I personally found Happytime Murders to be a highlight in comedy that has been missing for some time. It broke the mold of the same old as we've seen recently in many lackluster comedies. The creativity and the cast and crew made this film a standout in the comedy genre and truly provided one of the most unique and hysterical comedies I've seen in a very long time!
Many reviews are often posted by those who feel outrage and not as often by those who enjoy films or shows. That often kills franchises prematurely without due cause. So, please... If you liked it, give it a review too!
The Coroner: I Speak for the Dead (2016)
Perhaps the most well rounded series of its genre
This series is perhps the most well rounded in its genre. Graham Hetrick brings the audience along with him and not only shows the details of the crimes committed, but truly shows how complicated every moment of an investigation is for a coroner. Along the way you see the interactions between Hetrick and other law enforcement as they work together to bring all the pieces of evidence. Graham is never afraid to ask for help and shows his human side and limitations in this regard, which is something many shows like this fail to show. In addition, the stories are told in such a manner that is captivating, but also retains a sense of dignity for the deceased. It truly does allow the dead to speak their story to us as the investigation occurs. It is not only an amazing series, but one that has been long awaited in its genre. This is a must see for any forensics science students.
The Cool Kids (2018)
Finally! A show everyone can laugh at regardless of age!
This is perhaps the best sitcom I have seen in years! The cast is wonderful together and the comedy is spot on! Especially being LGBT, seeing a Gay Icon like Leslie Jordan in the spotlight here and openly gay Is a huge plus in today's world. We often forget our elders even in the gay community when they're the ones who keep us moving and advancing forward. Leslie is a riot as always and paired with the rest of the cast it is to die for! Just ask Jerry!
