A Quiet Place: Day One (2024)
A movie about getting pizza...very quietly
Without spoilers. This film is a waste of time. There's no explanation why the guy follows her instead of going to the pier/boat. He's just "there" clinging to her like a child for no reason. No backstory on him except for 2 underwhelming details that add nothing to his character development. 5 minutes in and it's all about getting this romanticised slice of pizza at all costs. Really? Illness, poetry, piano, pizza. Only the cat was great and the only character you're actually rooting for. Zero tension. Nothing like, and I mean NOthing like Part 1 and 2. Huge hit and miss, ruined the franchise.
A Glitch in the Matrix (2021)
Just enjoy it
This isn't some high-brow, academic look into Hugh Everett and MWT. If that's what you're looking for, watch a Max Tegmark MIT lecture or read Mathematical Universe about the physics of actual parallel worlds. If you just want to kick back and enjoy some interesting, real world stories that make you reflect on your own life, this documentary is it. It's grounded in the work of Everett and Bostrum, so it's not "fluff," but a welcome break to approach parallel worlds in a more creative way. About halfway through they weave in a story from a person calling in from jail, I assume serving life. I won't ruin it, but that part was interesting as well. A good watch.
Dark Matter (2024)
So good writers actually do exist?
I can't stand how good this is. If Apple cancels this, I'm canceling them. It's the best thing they've put out so far. I'm a physics nerd, but I imagine anyone with some basics of Hugh Everett and Schrödinger would love it. Or, just an open mind, as they do a pretty good job of explaining the premise early on, which does not spoil anything at all. I'm at Ep. 7 so far and already hoping for a 2nd season. There's so much they can do with this, allowing the characters to play different versions of themselves, in different worlds. The unpredictability of this is just ridiculously amazing. I just hope they don't start cramming dei in my face with messaging or I'm out. If they can stay away from that and keep up this interesting storyline, this will be a classic.
American Horror Story (2011)
Delicate
Skip this season. I think AI adapted this because it's so bland. There is zero character development. I don't care about any of them...and believe me, I tried. Emma Roberts is wonderful and believable, but that's it, full stop. The entire myopic plot is: Smearing and eating baby parts at satan's direction is the fountain of youth and fame. That's the whole season.
All the antagonists are dreadfully boring. All the 'witches' are terrible actors. It's comical watching them try to deliver 'evil' lines. I'll give it one star because their lack of skill did make me laugh.
There's not a single character/protagonist you feel for, have empathy for because again, the script development is so thin, so very shallow. I cancelled my future recordings after watching the last 2 episodes of Part 2 after the break.
Black Is King (2020)
It's just "okay"
Basically a bunch of dancing with boring backgrounds. There's no "wow" moments. I expected some great cinematography, but it literally gave nothing more than you could shoot off your iPhone.
The OA (2016)
Being Back the OA
I hope this gets picked up by Hulu or Apple. Netflix has become too formulaic in their decision making in about originals in this genre; leaning heavy on teenage tropes. The OA was some of the most original and inspiring shows I'd seen on Netflix, if not the most.
A Little Late with Lilly Singh (2019)
NBC...listen up
We think of late night hosts as people we'd like to hang out with at a party.. you know, not annoying, always there with a good story, easy to get along, interactive, who don't put themselves on a pedestal. They naturally draw people in. THAT is what late night hosts SHOULD do. When we're tired and just want some easy going entertainment before falling asleep. People like Fallon, Conan, etc. But after giving Lilly a good two weeks, it's crystal clear she's the one at the party everyone would run to avoid. NBC doesn't care about viewers. It's CLEAR now.
Harriet (2019)
A dishonor to an amazing woman
I attend a HBCU and have read, and studied, Harriet Tubman's life. I don't even know where to begin. There is no account of her ever standing with Union soldiers and pointing a gun. There are so many errors and what I saw on the screen was complete fiction. I wasn't expecting a documentary, of course, but the woman they portrayed lived a completely different life to everything I've been taught by professors who live and breathe African American history. Hollywood should be ashamed.
The Twilight Zone: The Comedian (2019)
Tracy Morgan only good part
Terrible writing, just not suspenseful or interesting at all. I had a glimmer of hope when Morgan appeared, because he was the ONLY good part, but they didn't give him enough material. Whomever wrote this should hang their head in shame.
Amy Schumer: Growing (2019)
Please Netflix, invest in other female comedians
What's with the reviewers who say "As a woman...."? Like that should matter and implying just because you're a women, you should love it? Yes, I'm a woman, but even if I weren't, I can't imagine how anyone would think this is deserving of another Netflix special. Can she write anyone other than "vag jokes"? If they were actually funny, then cool. But, they're not. I can't think of any male comedian who does a full set of practically nothing but NOT FUNNY d*ck jokes. If she's trying to brand herself as "nasty," fine. But, don't subject paying subscribers to this. There are so many other funny, female, comedians that Netflix could be investing in.
Captain Marvel (2019)
Almost walked out
The only good part of this movie were the last 2 scenes/fight at the end. So I guess (?) I'm glad I stayed for that. Nothing else was redeemable. My husband hated it too. What a waste.
1408 (2007)
Dante's Inferno 9 levels of hell
I didn't realize until about halfway through that the plot seemed to follow Dante's 9 Levels of Hell. Once that kicked in, it was even more interesting to watch. I also enjoyed the alternate ending.
The Conners (2018)
Killed by Opioid OD? Disgraceful
ABC thinks audiences find OPIOID overdoses comical? Really? When there's an opioid crisis in this country and many families are suffering due to it, it's made into a joke to kill off the Queen? Other than that, it's like the writers are simpletons without Roseanne at the helm. There isn't a single program on ABC worth watching.
Charmed (2018)
The one good thing....
Rupert Evans is GREAT. There's no denying he's the best thing (the only thing) redeeming about this show.
I haven't watched the previous Charmed series, so this review comes from a clean slate. The pilot moved at warp speed with very little background info about the mom. The sisters had zero chemistry and not enough backstory for me to care about them at all. The only thing I got from it was that they're feminists, don't like cis-male professors, and punch others in the face who disagree with them. I don't mind politics but come on.
I would've liked to see more about how they plan to control their gifts, less anger and more heart, some room to breathe in the writing so I could connect with these characters.
I'm not going to say anything bad about the actors because I don't think it's their fault they were given a terrible script and roles.
Maybe CW should've gone with Wayward Sisters and Legacies instead of this. I will not be tuning in again.
The Alec Baldwin Show (2018)
Great guest. Uninspiring host..
I really wanted to love this show, as I'm a fan of Baldwin. However, he seems more interested in grandizing himself rather than being engaged in the conversation. Most late night hosts - or any host (Fallon, Kimmel, et al) are great because they let the guests shine and can pivot on the fly based on what they get the guests to open up about. In the first episode, he clearly talks FAR more than the guest (De Niro) to the point it looked like he, De Niro, was getting bored. I think this show is trying to aim at long form, "smart," conversation; I don't know. Either way, it doesn't hit the mark. It's not clever. It's not funny. It's not educational. It's just Alec monologuing with himself with a few moments in between dedicated to the guest. It didn't flow.
