The Gift (2015)
Cheap Scares
I hate movies that use the dramatic music or sound effects to startle jump you into a cheap scare, especially so many times. A 1 hour Lifetime mystery would have made it a little easier to endure. Too long.
Grantchester (2014)
To Each Their Own
I have been in the room as my spouse watched. For me, it is often so sluggish, drawn out and boring that I could never get into it. But that's just me I know.
This Little Love of Mine (2021)
I'll stay right in the middle of the vicious '1' reviews and the gushy '10' reviews, minus 1 for the accents and corny drama.
My title says enough for my opinion, but I will add that many of the tropical background scenes appeared to be fake. They reminded me of the technology offered by Zoom to enhance the background on video calls.
1883 (2021)
Faith and F-words
So who had the most F-words in the first 2 episodes; Yellowstone or 1883? What is the deal with that? Why is it such a priority to work in 1 word so many times? Is this the way Faith and Tim talk in their personal lives? I would have guessed not, but we don't know them so maybe they do. Sure, it's only "make believe," aka acting, but it ruins it for me.
Scenes from a Marriage (2021)
So Depressing
Yes, the acting was good, but the second half of episode 1 turned it into one if the most depressing shows I have seen. Not going back for more.

Stars Fell on Alabama (2021)
Hallmark Type Movie
Movie about being in Alabama but filmed in South Carolina and California, complete with Palm Trees. Movie padded with extra long corn hole and flag football scenes. Main character's eyebrows looked like paste on variety. Script and editing made movie look even worse. Simple little movie gone awry. Almost like mocking Alabama.
Wild Mountain Thyme (2020)
My Wife Said Its Very Good
I watched this with my wife. She told me it was very good, so that's how I know for sure it was. It's not my kind of movie, but I got used to the fake Irish accents that many complained about after 5 minutes. Many people like English and Irish accents in movies, even if they are fake. I side with my wife on this issue, not with all the complainers on this site. Accents are a nice touch. There were a number of funny scenes, but it would have been easy to miss them if the fake accents were foremost in a complainer's mind. It seems like the complainers could have saved themselves some pain and grief if they had just said it was not their kind of movie and moved along. By the way, my wife liked the ending, so I must have liked it, too.
Bliss (2021)
Why in Spanish
Movie was playing with Spanish voice over audio. No clues on how to make it stop.
After We Collided (2020)
Pretty Decent Looking Characters
Is the reason for a 2 rating instead of a 1 rating.
To avoid redundancy... I agree with the narratives for most of the 1 and 2 ratings.
I stuck with it til the end because someone I like a lot picked it out.
The Undoing (2020)
Unrealistic and Painful In So Many Ways
Because we can get easily bored in a Covid world, we can find ourselves devoting 6 hours to bad writing and all kinds of unrealistic twists and turns just to see who did it. This was painful and would have been much more tolerable to wait for 6 weeks and then binge watch the whole thing, with lots of fast forwarding. I agree with most of the low rated reviews that provided details, especially about episode 6.
Isn't It Romantic (2019)
Kind of Stupid - Real Stupid
Wife wanted to rent it. I love her so i agreed. I wish there was a way to describe how stupid it was, but I was just glad I could read something while pretending to watch it while in the same room.
Videos After Dark (2019)
Horrible
Bob needs to find another line of work, This is like desperation charity work. Videos are not really funny, He is not funny, The audio added to the videos is intolerable. Find your own videos on Youtube if you are looking for what you hoped this would be,
The Pastor and the Pro (2018)
Totally Different
I was curious about this movie based on the title, with low expectations.
Very pleasant surprise. Female lead was great with a lot of witty clever lines, making for an interesting combination of humor and drama.
This Is Us (2016)
I Really Don't Like it
A modern soap opera. There is a lot of tragedy and sadness in the world, so why not add to that by deciding that we should be entertained by a slow motion time killing emotion jerking tv series, Thinking back to the beginning, they could have started with 2 newborn babies and 1 adoption. That's not enough emotion, so let's just kill off one of the babies at birth and then adopt one so they still need 3 sets of baby futniture, etc. Great writing for maximum emotion, as the series is launched and then drags on and on, much to the pleasure of many with a different opinion and lots of time to spare.
