This movie has some very eery similarites to The Kings of Summer from 2013. In TKOS you have two male friends who want to get away from their parents so they build a house in the forest. In SS they open up a snack shack at the water park. In TKOS a girl named Kelly comes between the two friends. In SS a girl named Brooke comes between the two friends. In TKOS the third wheel friend Biaggio almost dies from a snake bite. In SS the third wheel friend dies in a car accident. I enjoyed both movies. The young actors are all excellent. The stories even with the similarities are enjoyable and I recommend both movies.

What's up Doc
1 August 2023
One of my favorite episodes. Drysdale laughing at Jed's hilarious comments in the sick bed scene is outright contagious. Granny's phone call to the pharmacy to order her mountain medicine ingredients is funny too. Jethro putting the three men to bed. Not sure if Max is actually picking them up on his shoulder or a stuntman does it but it is very well done either way. Also like the doctor to doctor talk between Granny and Clyburn, This is sitcom gold. Their first meeting is quite different than their future meetings when he sees her only as a witch doctor. Miss Jane confuses Granny's final cure of performing operations.
Vendetta
(I) (2022)
Leave your brain off
27 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Turn your brain off to watch this. They seriously think that we can believe THESE killers would leave the house without making sure the dad was dead with a bullet to the head. The same killers that shot his daughter several times as part of an initiation. There are far better Vendetta movies to watch.
The way the second gang member got killed by the dad lying on his back and a gun in his face is unbelievable too.
Also makes the cops look really stupid. They let a guy walk away from an active shooting without questioning him. They leave a surveillance outside the family that has their lives in danger because someone threw a bottle at their car. Ridiculous!

Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey
(2022)
Good but nothing new here
9 June 2022
Well done as far as focusing on the victims but nothing new here regarding the crimes of the prophet. Prior docs covered it just as good previously.
The TV show Escaping Polygamy was much more enjoyable and also featured many strong women.

Almost perfect
24 May 2022
Great except for the three flaws already mentioned thus the 9 out of 10.
No mee-maw, no Leonard's mom (likely to focus on Sheldon and Amy's mom's rift) and worse of all no Stand By Me reunion maybe out of respect for River Phoenix.

The Waltons: Homecoming
(2021 TV Movie)
Some things don't need a remake
12 December 2021
Anyone thinking of a series redo with this cast should be "tossed in the hoosegow". Now there's some 1930's speak unlike the modernized speaking in this remake.
Luckily I watched it recorded to skip the hour of commercials. That is likely the real reason for making it.

Borrowed story line
7 June 2021
Love the show and this was one of the best episodes. Photos of the statue in various scenes were very funny. The only flaw was the borrowed/stolen story line from another Disney show "Andi Mack" where Destiny is the daughter of her sister and teen mother secretly being raised by their grandparent.
Plot holes
8 May 2021
1. Olive is in high school and likely a minor so a contract with a minor is not legally binding. The sweat shop company has no legal leg to sue.
2. Westbrook is a Div 3 team so it is unlikely that they would play a Div 1 team.

Roe v. Wade

Did not change my mind
13 April 2021
Nothing in this story changed my (and many other's) belief that if men got pregnant abortion would have been legalized a long time ago.
Also so many beautiful women in this movie that I thought I was watching Fox News.

Girl in the Basement
(2021)
Lesson for victims too
11 April 2021
Disagree with reviews of bad acting. All actors did quite well with what was given them. They had to summarize 20 years into a 90 minute movie so at least it moves fast and keeps you engaged.
Yes it may be a lesson for creeps to repeat this crime but it is also a lesson for the people living around it.
He may have made the basement sound proof from her and her babies screaming but I doubt that if she banged on the walls or sink that the vibrations would not be heard upstairs.

- if a daughter had a shaky relationship with her step or real father and she disappears he likely had something to do with it
- if he spends a lot of time in the basement after the disappearance, check the basement
- if you check the basement and the size does not match up with the size of the house there are likely hidden rooms
- if you're a neighbor who sees a flashlight signal coming from the basement don't knock on the door and tell the occupant, call the cops to check it out.

Kid 90
(2021)
Another poor little rich kid story.
15 March 2021
Are they looking for sympathy with these docs? Not gonna get it here.
From a technical point of view when you show archival footage with people's names try to keep it on the screen long enough for us to read the names. Missed out on half of the people shown in the archival footage.

Not a fan of musicals but...
5 March 2021
I'm not fan of musicals other than Martin and Lewis and Elvis but this is one of my favorite movies. All the songs fit beautifully with the love at first site times seven story.
My favorite scenes are all the ones in between the singing and dancing especially those between the eldest Adam and the youngest Gideon.

Catch a Contractor
(2014–2015)
Who pays for the new work?
5 February 2021
Love this show and unlike many others I do like Adam and find him very funny.
Do you really think he should be nice to these crooks?
What bothers me is that they don't explain what happens to the money the people paid the bad contractors. Who pays for the material to redo the job? My guess is that the show pays for the redo and the crooked contractors get away with stealing the money in exchange for being humiliated and exposed on the show.
