Evil Stepmom (2021)
Wow. I now Know
I now know why I stopped watching lifetime at least six years ago this movie is just horrible
First the widow away dead I don't know what what planet he's from when he tells Caroline that his wife is "dead" instead of saying my wife passed away which is a more gentle term of endearment for someone who's out of your life
Second when did lifetime store and getting short men who really don't even have a style lifetime used to have tall handsome men with swag where did they get this guy from?
OK so Caroline comes into his life. Her daughter looks like her sister or the sane age. Isn't it obvious that they may not be mother and daughter
This man who is the millionaire, obviously smart doesn't he ask Caroline where she works and when she says the places she us looking for are way too expensive! Huh!!! She is a doctor. Is he that dumb???
No one wants to know where she works? A wealthy man doesn't ask to see proof of a baby? He doesn't know what doctor she is seeing? He is so weak.
She should take him for all he has to get.
This movie is why I have stress. Yelling at the tv on the dumb these people do and how Gabi won't complete her findings? Why this man is not suspicious at all !!!!
This is a 2021 movie and tye movies are getting worse. I will stop again after one. No more Lifetime!!!
War of the Worlds: Annihilation (2021)
Very difficult to watch!
This movie is so sad and the acting is so horrible until it's very difficult to look at I thought the Baldwin brother the one that I really like when he was an internal affairs was going to be good
I'm sure he's the executive producer so it just means that nobody is offering him roles so he has to create his own
This is a horrible movie just absolutely predictable. The husband telling the wife I promise you I will return in one piece and then the alien blows him to pieces.
Welsh just seems frantic and William Baldwin is dry and nonchalant . Really looks like he has been drinking. His hair is like he is in a punk rock band. I don't think a military officer would have that type hair.
Thus movie is cheaply made and I wonder with each minute I' look at it , what would make these people sign up for this? Are they not reading the script or if they are or are they just desperate to be in a movie - this is almost like comical.
Welsh has changed and is in a tank top and baseball hat to fight aliens. You should've passed this one up.
The sitting woman in the emergency room is named Tamika? She was older and that is a young name. Just seems like it's a comedy of all kinds of errors.
Billy Baldwin you shouldn't have put your name in association with this movie. It is just really a bad movie!
The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
Down the blue and red (yellow) brick winding...... road!
I have been waiting for this premiere. After I began watching I realized it had been too long since the last one and I tried to remember or understand the premise.
I just don't remember BUT I do know I could only watch 20 minutes. Just watching all the shooting and ALL the misses of the main characters. I know the main characters most of the time survive. But please know that shooting should look like there is a valid reason to miss. These scenes did not!! Their backs were literally bullseyes!!!
This movie was just too much of nothing going no where. CGI couldn't help it either. Keanu is still a non memorable actor.
Please stop with the sequels until you can actually compete or exceed the previous ones.
Die Hard is the only movie that could handle sequels and leave you wanting more.
The Face (2013)
Naomi- please just do the catwalk not the cat fight !!!!
I found this streaming on Prime. I love these modeling shows as I used to model. I could barely make it through watching Naomi's childish, rude and unprofessional behavior. I watched all of the clients response to her and no one really hugged her although they all know her. This is a 50 year old woman who has never been married and now the world knows why. Numerous broken engagements. Yes it takes two but she is too much to handle. She is so evil and just mean.
I know they may have picked her girl out of fear. Maybe she thinks this makes good tv, it doesn't.
She was laughing at the girls like a child. Just unbelievable. How can she mentor when she is so childish and truly unprofessional.
I would love to see her leave as a mentor, so I can and probably many others watch in peace. It's so intense watching her antics.
Make no mistake she is good at the catwalk and directing her girls but she actually seems like something is missing from her life or her childhood with her behavior.
Naomi - you may not care now what people on here say because you say over and over you got your career but one day you will and you should grow up and be a true representative of this profession and black women around the world.
The Celebrity Dating Game (2021)
Celebrity (Misfits) Dating
I just don't understand. Do the producers actually look at the original shows ?
I think this show is for the newly divorced, the unknown, has beens or not too date worthy celebrities.
Do they really go on dates? After they meet the person you see no chemistry at all. I felt sorry for Nolan Gould. I DIDN'T know who was? I never look at a Modern Family!!!! This show is eye opening for the celebrity too.
As for Michael Bolton. It's like having Tales from the Crypt "The Crypt Keeper" in a Valentine Day nightmare. He is so stiff. But he can sing!!!!!!
Did one of these two hosts Executive Produce this show? I find those who are either difficult to work with or are not getting parts produce. This would be second worse to the remake of Supermarket Sweep
Please do cancel. I love the Match Game with Alec Baldwin. I hope it returns. It's so in sync and even better than the old one.
The Ice Road (2021)
"Iced" Movie
Lately, since the pandemic, the movies released are just crap. From the script to the predictability of the premise and in some cases the acting.
First, Liam Neeson is like Samuel L Jackson, the same or some form of the same character in all their movies.
The same script from all of his movies, just different clothes and sceneries.
Then of all the drivers in the area for some reason Liam Neeson needs money for his own rig, look no more , he gets fired and hired within days.
Then all plots lately has an angry talking character who actually had a good heart.
Then they just get in trucks with this very dangerous mission and not really check them down to the door handles. The gasket happens to blow causing a broken leg, a falling in the ice truck and a death.
Laurence Fishburne GONE. Probably figured out all the actors are unknown or has beens. Matt McCoy is a bad guy. Last time I saw him was in an insurance or retirement. Commercial I think.
They manage to pull the trucks back right side up without cracking the already melting ice.
They know in April the sun will cause a melt but wow this melt, crack and killing happened in a few minutes.
Liam Neeson manages to save his brother after being in the water more minutes than Fishburne. He died and no one even TRIED to get him out of the water.
The CG is ok. But again this movie is like "The Tomorrow War" in predictability.
Yes it's just a movie, but give the viewers a little break with respect for our knowledge of what flows and makes sense.
The Tomorrow War (2021)
Star of the Movie being the Executive Producer
Just a tip for movie lovers and movie reviewers.
Always look at the credits and always pay attention to the name of the executive producer(s).
When you find that the star actor is the executive producer, it sometimes means that that actor is not getting as many roles as they probably should be or could be, so they executive produce the movie. Not everyone who acts is a bonafide leading man.
Jamie Foxx, Chris Pratt, Chris Rock, Brad Pitt, The Rock, Vin Diesel. They are ensemble actors or good supporting actors. They may have one role that was noteworthy but other than that role, they cannot carry a movie alone to success.
If an actor is close to on his way out or not as celebrated nor or as in the past then they executive produce.
There are a few EP successes. Tom Cruise and the MI Franchise. But again no one is knocking down doors for him either. And I think know Vin Diesel producers the F&F franchise. But again where can he actually fit in a leading role but F&F?
Supermarket Sweep (2020)
Super Market "Swept" - so sad.
Wow. I loved this show years ago. But this remake has selected a mirror image in Leslie Jones to Steve Harvey 's Family Feud with his over portrayal in his ethnic pride in his speech. (And I am of the same ethnicity). It makes this show very painful to watch.
Leslie is funny on a stage and interviews but I feel she will blow a gasket if she doesn't stop yelling. I know she has to be the or one if not the Executive Producer.
We know we need more black tv personalities but I wish networks and television producers could find that happy median between the overly enunciating to the down right hood. We ARE out there.
Wow my pressure is up just watching this show. .
I want to keep watching but I need Leslie to tone it down yet not bore us. This a fun, witty game show.
The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020)
Will Something Please Happen to Bly Manor????
I thought during lock in, I would watch one more Netflix Series. I usually love British series or movies. Initially I was Intrigued. As we moved through the Episodes of Season 1, I had to fast forward to get to a point and saw the characters in the same scene through several movements to get to a point!!!! It is so slow moving.
I initially liked that I could see the twists with Henry and his brother's wife and his annoying alter ego, Dani who comes with baggage, seeing her fiancé killed after she rejected him, Peter being a result of a poor upbringing grasping for it all at anyone's expense. Rebecca smart yet dumb. Miles and Flora , brother and sister yet brother and cousin. Mrs Grose wears a cross and misses an unseen husband and Owen is missing in character development. A part that could be eliminated. A creepy British setting.
First, I thought so many accents. Dani's was border line southern. Initially I thought, Peter Quint was British but then realized he was Irish (hence the name), maybe?
I think the Director was trying to accomplish unusual angles and techniques but the going back and in and out of memories was difficult to keep up with and it was do uncomfortable watching the characters in love scenes. The Director tried without "boring us to death" success to take us back to explain the haunting. But he drug on and on and on.
The awkward love scenes or lack there of between Peter and Rebecca. He appears 6 ft or above and she is about 5ft. It hurt my neck to see them kissing and each time he has to pick her up for their scenes. And his clothes were so baggy, too big and droopy, distracting and he is a handsome man. His mock turtle neck is not his size and the pants.
Could they not select an average height actor or a taller actress? and accomplish the same affair ? Her and his appearances I could not understand if it was real or a dream or a memory and only in Episode 8 do we find out about the haunting and of sorts. The slapping silly is an understatement with the Lloyd sisters 😂
It keeps going back and then present. Then dreams then real. You never knew where you were or who was really dead or alive. The plot seems to evolve as you watch. Ok if the series had begun with episode 8 then we would possibly be better prepared to understand what we are watching and grow from there.
This started with potential.
Won't be on my wait for the next Season list.
The Feed (2019)
The Baby
I watched the whole season l. I lost interest after Episode 2. BUT I thought maybe it gets better. The premise seems good and plausible. But as you did deep you wonder if Lawrence Hatfield was the genius and had control over everything how could he allow his power over the feed be taken away. Who is Ben's father? How do Tre characters ref stabbed, hit in the head and just get up and walk away. Why do they stop and just look when harm is approaching, Martha coming near Jay with an axe! She just stares at her and then tries to get Bea from car seat. Amazing!!!
Then there is the baby!!!! Wow. I never saw such a super baby. She never eats, has diaper changes, at that early age withstands the cold weather, the fighting with the resistance. Dodging bullets on her mother's chest. Crying all through the show probably was hunger pains!!! Too unbelievable.
I guess if the show isn't cancelled, then maybe Bea is a super human with powers. Which will ultimately cause it to be too predictable.
Too many shows with same plot have failed.
I am shut in so I went ahead and watched it all the way through with a few scroll backs with off and on sleep 😴
Ricochet (2011)
Just Bad !
This movie tried so hard to be that suspenseful mystery of a thriller but it stopped with the plot, the acting or lack there of.
I continued to watch hoping it would redeem itself.
John Corbett as tall and commanding as he appears. Should have been good as a detective.
But when he spoke it was like listening to a high school play. His partner, when upset over not meeting a baseball star, it was so bad, I think we the audience thought is she being funny or was is this real?
Who directed this movie? If I see a TNT production again, I won't watch. These are pretend mysteries with B actors and directors missing in action l!
The Secret Life of Pets 2 (2019)
Much truth about Pets BUT.....
I have owned dogs and cats and the mannerisms depicted about pets was A+. But I found the movie disjointed. The sound or songs were played didn't seemed to fit. It jumped all over with several themes but it just didn't come together.
And as usual from a short man, Kevin Hart was over the top. Just got tired of his voice and humor as I do when he is not a voice.
Tiffany Haddish's voice didn't fit the tiny little petite perky dog. Just wrong choice for voice.
The only saving grace and the correct voice was Harrison Ford as Rooster. It fit and his mannerism were perfect for Mr Ford
I didn't watch the first one but it could use a change of voices and plots.
A Star Is Born (2018)
A Star is Definitely Bored
I have watch these movies got myself.
I found the characters boring, the scenes dak and grungy.
If Bradley Cooper directed you canntell it's his first try. Some of the scenes are sophomoric
And most of all if he help right the script- did anyone count the number in f "fu*kings" they used. THERE WAS NO SCRIPT. Sad.
The good news.
Lady Gaga was great but only because she was allowed to do what she goes best sing and entertain. I felt like I was in a lady Gaga concert without the pomp and circumstance of costumes. Her acting was good as well for what she was given to work with.
This WAS NOT AN OSCAR winning movie. It's obvious that when a star cannot act or get the parts they want they start to produce and direct.
Bradley Cooper should stop this non script writing and poor directing movies idea as quick as he dates and leaves a new woman after 1 year. Don't Commit!
Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)
Oh Godzilla or Oh Gawd No Zilla
This movie was so slow and the only thing it did was portray the military as inept, that only one scientist is smart and has all the answers and as usual he is in a field doing photography and has to be called back because he created something, on and on and on and
WHY did it take 2 hours to show Godzilla in full display????
How do they all stand outside with debris flying and fire and monsters everywhere and no one is hurt or killed?
Who was Vera F. 's character. Was she good or bad? The Asian scientist who sacrifices himself - why? None of the characters were solidly defined or fully developed. It almost looks like the characters are in the video game! The script is lame and tired and full of cliches.
The three saving graces are CCH Pounder, Joe Morton and David Straihan and their roles are very minimal.
(Must have just needed the money)
This movie must have been a spoof of Jurassic Park, Aliens and a Military type Video game. Only we the audience didn't have the controller.
The film editors are to be blamed as well as much of this movie could have been edited down to less than over 2 hours.
And at the very end when Kyle Chandler is with his daughter looking at Godzilla, she is looking up at Godzilla , he is looking straight ahead with a blank look and it looks weird.
I waited this long for a good Godzilla movie - this was not it.
Us (2019)
A Spider with 9 Legs
I loved "Get Out" but found no epiphany in this movie.
The movie appeared as a spider with so many legs. Not twists that keep you on the edge of your seat but confusion on where this movie is going or where did it begin. Was it a "black comedy". No pun intended
I initially thought, ok doppelgänger is a good premise - we all have them. But then I referred to the opening statement about the use and existent of underground dwellings and caves.
I tried to in my mind connect that maybe all our twins live in caves and will appear -when? How? No connection. Do they live in the dark recesses of our minds?
I think Lupita is s good actress but I found her acting just funny as the evil twin in this movie.
I did like the fact that unlike Tyler Perry these Black characters were not mired in "the white" family syndrome. But were more just a "corporate money " made family. We all know these families in real life.
So the twist is Lupita is the evil twin. But there was so much trying to figure how this movie connected and where from and where was it going was lost in confusion. So the revealing twist was drowned in the confusing plot.
I applaud Jordan Peele for his use of real Black people. Not the ones that both races feel are movie star appealing for the screen.
And I do think Winston Duke was very good and In just a normal way not an exaggerated minstrel Black way or a lost in space white way. .
I don't see him as the new Alfred Hitchcock though. I think Get Out was a masterpiece.
Just as M Night had his with "the Sixth Sense"
Everything after is just mediocre.
