The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (2017)
Up Until Season 4
I liked this show all the way up until season 4. Maybe the extended vacation due to covid caused this show it's downfall. But this fourth season is horrid on multiple levels. I don't believe I'll be back for season 5... if there is one. Too much feminism and directionless to satisfy wanting to be entertained. Not to mention, it wasn't at all funny. I found zero humor and the skits were lackluster at best.
Overall, this show has lost it's spark to an agenda that is seen blatantly through season 4.
Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer (2021)
What's this show about.
I'm sorry, I thought this show was about Richard Ramirez and not about the detective's lives and heroic deeds. Talking about overkill. I didn't need to know about detective Gil's accomplishments and how for once in his life his dad told him how proud he was of him. I didn't need to hear how he hero worshiped the other cop over and over again. I could also care less if detective Gil never ate in a fancy Italian restaurant. What had any of that have to do with the capture and chaos of Richard Ramirez?
I watched this document because he is one of the lesser serial killers that I've read or heard about. I was under the impression that it was a lone female detective that cracked the case. I now feel I have to find out more to see where I was wrong. I wasn't expecting a documentary on two detectives that seemed to be more about puffing out their feathers then actually catching a killer. If these cops represent those in the years Ramirez was on a rampage, no wonder why they didn't catch the guy sooner.
All this show does (that of which I could only tolerate watching) is how incompetent those detectives where and how undeserving of any recognition to the capture of Ramirez. I'm mean sheesh, the beginning the detective talks about his first goal of getting back home from Vietnam is to try to get back his ex-girlfriend so that he can get his revenge by dumping her. Really, now? If you want to watch a show filled with conceited and arrogant criminal investigator who apparently want to take the credit for their part in not capturing Ramirez, than by all means, this is for you.
Inuyashiki (2017)
Just Couldn't Do It
This anime might have made it at least to a 5 star rating. I liked the fact that someone had it in their minds to have a hero well past his prime. With the exception of a few R rated scenes, it was a decent show. But unfortunately I found that the lack of action upon the old man when everyone was being killed a bit too lacking. And also, if the bad kid had access to all that went on on the internet, why didn't he manipulate the information. He come do it just like the ATMs or how the media has been manipulating the America citizen. But what got me completely shut down happened in the last episode, before the comet came down. Whoever made this anime wasn't aware of the political climate of today so there is an excuse for the bias. But I take offense at the outrageous depiction of one American President. Truly this animator, and I can clearly point to Amazon since it's taking possession as an ORIGINAL CONTENT, needs to do better at researching the topics for which is to be displayed. For that, stuff like this need to be removed from viewing and labeled as propaganda.
Re Shang Leng Dian Xia (2018)
Too Immature
Are these really college students? There immaturity and innocents speak more of a middle schooler than someone in college. And I recall college so bright and filled with color coded designer room schemes. There's just too much telling in this show and not enough showing.
Mulan (2020)
Missed it by miles
Disney serious missed the point where the animated version is concerned. What made the animated Mulan more loved and exciting wasn't that Mulan had powers or had acrobatic skill. Mulan was Clever and Resourceful. It was her courage and mind that made her unique and interesting. Not like this movie, it went and placed all of those qualities with typical CGI for Asian action films. Totally unrealistic and dumb. This movie missed it's mark so much, even the ending, which was suppose to be epic, fell flat and unimpressive.
The 2nd (2020)
No... Just No
I agree with other reviewers, the acting is bad. Ryan Phillips does a fairly decent job despite what he was given. But the story writing was horrendous and no amount of good acting could make this movie good.
Cheesy action scenes, one where they're fighting and the guy stops and to say a cheesy line and leaves by vanishing behind the doorway. He eventually comes back. It's dumb... and really bad writing.
Worse is the ending, because there isn't one. Not for the judgement on the 2nd amendment and not for Ryan Phillips' character. In the end we're left with "who are these guy that just showed up out of no where?"
There's 2nd amendment under tones in here. It was as if the writers and producers were confused with issues on gun laws. They're bad but in order to make a good movie we need guns and violence. You could clearly see the conflicting messages in it.
Dumb movie, dumb writing, and cringe worthy acting.
Homecoming (2018)
Dull
Why do all of these so called acclaimed movies/tv shows contain long periods of silent nothing. It's like watching a minute of an empty parking lot before someone comes into frame or minutes just watching two people in silence while they watch tv. There's nothing duller than that.
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Lazy Writing Stan Lee would have been disappointed
There was so many plot holes in this movie and was so far off what I expected it would be. And what's with this growing trend of killing off fan favorite characters? Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and of the x-men from some unknown source that probably won't get explained until Dark Phoenix. 11 years of anticipation only to be hugely let down buy this movie. It seems to be a habit of Disney to take what is loved and ruin it. I'm tired of it and the bottom line is that Hollywood hasn't had an original thought in so long, they're only left with destroying all the things that we the fans love.
Why didn't Dr. Strong use the stone to bring back Tony Stark just like he did with the apple in the first movie. He was able to manipulate time to one object (the apple) but couldn't do that to Tony without reversing Tony snapping his fingers? And what about Vision or Karen (Carter's niece that Captain America was involved with at some point. And what about Loki? He just disappears forever? There are many plot wholes left with a disappointing end to an 11 build up.
Marvel, you failed. This is not a product worthy of creator who recently passed away.
Meari to majo no hana (2017)
Meh
Overall this was an okay movie. Animation was great but the story was a bit week. I believe more time will the witches world would have been more desireable. And the ending was more of a Meh for me.
Criminal Minds (2005)
Getting bad
I use to love this show. But recently it seems to be over crowed with people. I can't explain it, maybe it has something to do with the rotation of characters coming in and out of this show.
One bigger question though. I keep seeing episodes of joggers/runners being attached or kiddnapped. You would think with all these people running, that some of them would out run the bad guy and to get away.
Don't know if I'll continue following this show.
Zoo (2015)
Suspension of Belief
Despite the CGI, I really couldn't say I enjoyed this title too much. Not withstanding the fact that main characters are killed off in mid season, suspension of belief is more towards the everyday reality than the animals new abilities. These characters fly at a moments notice all around the world in a huge plane, that contains a workable lab. How in the hell do they get all that fuel to fly it? Not to mention, I'm pretty sure not all the places they travel to has a airstrip to land within distance of their destination.
Again, the reality of everyday life is less believable than the whole animals gone wild thing.
And does anyone feel this story pushed some kind of agenda?
Wasn't really thrilled the the additional characters in the second season.
