The Umbrella Academy: End of the Beginning (2024)
Boo, you suck
A horrible last episode to a pretty bad season 4. I mean good gosh. Marigold? I dont remember much from season 3. Because its forgettable and terrible. But Now they double down with a anti marigold particle. Like Antimatter it destroys everything.
This makes zero sense..is not entertaining..and I was tortured by the baby shark song. I want to sue.
Sure lets keep the idea thaat Ben died as a child but forget that there are supposedly 50 other children with powers in season 1 that are never ever mentioned. Do we need their marigold..i guess not.
What a garbage season..Like anyone would like the idea of killing all the main characters...oh but its ok because there is grass in the 1 orginial timeline. Grass!!!..so everything is good because there is green grass....boooooo.
Terminator Zero (2024)
Good but boring too
Oh man, I loved the first episode. I wish the whole show was the doctor and the ai in the room. But no. They had to introduce boring terminator chase scenes that we have already seen done 100 times better..
So this show is interesting but it makes no sense. It also glosses over the best parts and slows down for the boring parts. He fell in love with a machine and had children together..Care to elaborate? NO? Why the heck not?
The show just mentions this part and moves on. Even Cocoro doesnt have any questions after that? Well I certainly do.
If the children knew their mother, how come they don't recognize that their babysitter was their mother. The children knew enough about their mother to know her favorite spot at the carnival, but cant recognize her when she is staring them in the face? I dont get it. So are the children fully human?, cyborgs, were they adopted? What is their story.
The moral dilemma about killing your wife to save the future sounds way more interesting than another boring ternminator chase scene.
And so they had to add a time loop huh. Your my mother garbage. I thought this was the first time the timelines experienced this set of events. How could it be a loop. There is simply no way the doctor will ever be born in this timeline because it is so different from the previous one. They literally said this.
Kimitachi wa dô ikiru ka (2023)
Garbage!
I love studio Ghibli movies..But I fell asleep watching this one in the theaters. I thought maybe it was just the dark. So i watched it again this weekend on HBO max. But wow is it boring. ITs Boring and disconnected and just ultimately the world makes absolutely no sense. Random things just happen with no interconnected ness.
Why is this movie called the BOy and the Heron? They are barely in the movie together. THey do not get along, then they get separated. But the Heron comes back at the end of the movie and says goodbye friend. As if there was any special bond there.
Then the mother. I thought i missed something the first time around. How did the boy know that was his mother? But there is no special moment between the two. They just act like that had a special bond then part ways..
Scavengers Reign (2023)
Starts off Great
Thats IT!!!!...wtf?
Started off so great, It was so trippy at the beginning. Then it descends into pure nonsense. There was no reason for anything at all. Why did the Psychc thing go on a rampage? I guess because of the Red headed guys negativity? Maybe...sort of?
And Why are there little Levis runnong around and even on teh ship that left? I like that the fungus merged with his programming. But then to have the little ones all over the place was just over the top. The story ends with gibberish and Im expected to believe this show won an Emmy? For WHAT STORY??
Crash landing and surviving on a mushroom planet isnt a story...Its a set up for a story. One that never comes to fruition.
Alien: Covenant (2017)
a funny horror movie.
I dont know if this movie was meant to be funny..but it sure has some hilarious moments. Im the kind of person that just couldnt stop laughing when Keanus Reeves character just keeps driving 90 mph in a crazy storm that kills his family in that awful cloning movie.
So of course I am laughing my butt off in the first few minutes of this movie when a man is being burned alive inside the cryo chamber. Like what? The cryo chambers have the option to burn the person inside? What kind of feature is that?
Aliens are spores now huh? Like mushroom spores. Well...everyone is gonna die.
Wait what. David killed Walter, changed clothes with him and cut off his own hand in the 6 seconds that the camera turned away? Again..hilarious.
Rick and Morty: The Anime (2024)
nothing to say
An anime needs 1 or more of 3 things. An Interesting story, cool visuals, and interesting characters.
Rick and Morty the Anime...Has none of these things. The story, so far at least is so bland and boring that i can never stay awake. Rick and morty has interesting characters...But not in the anime version. Its just a bunch of different random versions of each character. Having multiple versions of a character does not make the character more interesting..it just makes a lot more boring versions of the same character.
And you would think the visuals would have been amazing. But they suck. The defining most interesting part was a big worm coming out of the ground 100 times and starting the main splitting of the universes...SOunds cool doesnt it. Its not. Its super boring and not even visually interesting.
Such a boring story.
Steven Universe Future (2019)
Steven never went to school?
I thought the show just took place during summertime. But the revelation that he never went to school at is...bad parenting.
I now have a low opinion of his father. Thanks for that.
So Steven is depressed but he does not know why. He says he never went to school and never got to mingle with regular kids. I have an idea. GO TO SCHOOL.
He also asks Connie to fuse with him. Steven apparently thinks that fusing is greater than or equal to marriage, relationships, and sex. But he is only 16..? And Connie is....umm...18? She must be if she is going to college. And not a single person tries to explain to him the differences between having a relationship and becoming one with someone. One requires work.
So yeah...this future series is not bad, but ultimately goes nowhere. Steven is depressed on like episode 5 and continues to be depressed all the way until the end. Steven is so powerful, but so stupid, or naieve.
I did find it funny that Steven never put together that the blonde girl is gay with Chet, who is defintiely a girl. But also this lets us know he is not mature enough to move out on his own
So does Steven want to go to school and be with connie and learn how to be a human being? No...he just wants to become a hippie like his dad...Again because his dad gives bad advice and is apparently lazy and not the greatest role model.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)
Im trying to turn my brain off enough to enjoy this movie..but its harder than it looks
My gf and I started watching this last night. Immediately we wondered why the building looks dirty in 1904 but clean in 2024. Like shouldnt that be reversed. But oh well lets enjoy this movie. Or 30 seconds of a unnecessary scene with firefighters finding a small metal ball. Now back to the movie.
So we try to dumb ourselves down even more to enjoy the movie. But its just not happening. The rules of the world make no sense, have no logic, and change from moment to moment.
We are in rush hour traffic but Im sure the tiny rc car can go faster than the car we are in and can maneuver around other cars without even being able to see what is going on...Ok just accept that.
More and more keeps happening that makes you do a double take. Like why are they even trying so hard to catch a ghost dragon...Wait a dragon? Ghost? WHAT? And maybe they should wait for a better opportunity, oh wow, the ghostbusters laser can cut buildings in half huh...never knew that.
Girl walks into a empty park and sets up a chess game and without missing a beat starts playing chess with her ghost friend. They must do this a lot...oh but then they explain that this is the first time she has ever done this and that she does not know this ghost at all. Huh....i dont understand the directors logic here.
Yaneura no Rajâ (2023)
Happy
This sure seems like it belongs in the same universe as Happy! That Imaginary blue donkey. Which was dark, but amazing.
This too. Is dark and amazing. Same plot as Happy too, pretty much.
Just a couple of things keep it from being perfect. THe boy talking at the beginning is super annoying. Just repeating the same line over and over again. 2. Its dark. Very Dark for an animated film.
And the worst thing about this movie is the ending. After all that...reconnecting with BingBon and everything and the characters talk about how this will be their final adventure? But why. This practically ruins the entire rest of the film. It doesnt make any sense within the context of the movie. It just happens for no reason.
Reminds me a lot of Happy, paprika, Studio Ghiibli.
Life (2017)
Perfect Cell
There is no way you saw DBZ and did not think of Cell when this movie was starting. A whole organism that only needs 1 cell to regenerate. Pretty much no limit to how smart or big it can get. Pretty boring movie. I had to skip large sections in order to stay awake.
What i enjoyed about the movie was the way the astronauts move throughout the ship. It looks very fluent and natural. The camera moves were very well done. But the characters themselves are very boing.
Also. How is the creature immune to fire? I guess its immune to everything huh. Makes you wonder why Mars isnt covered in this thing doesnt it?
Sausage Party: Foodtopia (2024)
surprisingly good
So we can all pretty much agree that the movie not awful but it is also stupid and too long right. Good.
Well the show is freaking hilarious. Whoever wrote this is very very good at their jobs. The correlation between the food society and human society is just too perfect. Everything is set up for the funniest moment possible. Including the human-thing. Which I gotta admit was one of the funniest things ever, even with how dumb it was.
I love this show. I thought I would hate it, but I love it!. I really hope it gets a season 2 and I really hope the food becomes self aware about how silly the rules are. Just like the human in the show. The rules of what is alive and what is not is just very funny to me. And IF frank ever realized that he is a piece of a different animal, yet somehow alive. It would blow his mind.
The American Barbecue Showdown (2020)
Feels like a fake show.
The cooking challenges are just awful and are not really fun to watch. This whole show feels like amateurs saw other cooking shows and said hey lets make a bbq version.
How is it possible that these BBQ Masters cant seem to grill simple recipes. Parts of the show seem fake and forced because of this. You have these masters saying they have been grilling brisket for years and years and yet on the 2nd episode they dont know how to properly fill their grills to provide a clean smoke. How can they burn such meats like a amateur?
How come they always have the same clothes on..THis also adds to the fakeness of the show.
And why on earth would there be a round where you have to cook for 50 people each and yet not show that food being eaten? Was it all just thrown away? And the sides addition is just the worst. I dont care about how a big fat bbq man can make a caper salad. I want to see how he bbqs..
I just started grilling IRL and i have learned nothing from this show.
Despicable Me 4 (2024)
Under developed
A villain that turned himself into a cockroach and deveoped a weapon that can turn anyone into a cockroach. Oh ok lets see what they do with this.... Absolutely nothing. Less than nothing actually. He might as well just had a jetpack and a sword.
This idea does not play into the movie at all. There is no story. No point, no reason, no motivation. The villain does not want to take over the world or anything. He just wants to embarrass Gru. A pretty lame plot point that not even his girlfriend understands.
The girls are the same age? Really? 4 movies and they cant even get a birthday or something. Isnt it time to grow with the audience?
Supacell (2024)
I didn't think i would like this
So i knew the show was entirely in another country and I skipped over it a few times but it was late and I didnt want to start searching for something to watch so I just put it on.
I was actually enjoying it even before the superpowers show up (for no reason what so ever, btw). The actors are all pretty good, everything was interesting and not just pointless gang violence.
Then the powers started showing up and I go ohh, this is just a black version of Heroes. And it is! But it is still good. I mean that one character who time travels is pretty dumb. He does not have a single good idea after he realizes he has powers..But its still got me hooked.
Ends pretty poorly. Turns out this is a show without a story to be told. Just trying to hook you without any real story or content here. I hate tv like this.
Inside Out 2 (2024)
Anxiety is more important?
Why even bother introducing new emotions when they all technically fall under parts of the other emotions? Why not have the old emotions experience new feelings rather than force in barely used new emotions?
Of the new emotions anxiety is really the only one that gets any screen time. Embaressment and boredom and whatever that little one is...are barely seen.
The overall message does seem good for children to learn, but the movie falls flat when compared to the 1st movie.
YOu know what irks me. IS that the emotions of the parents dont have embarssment or boredom and anxiety just walks in like it had just gone to the bathroom during the entirety of the 1st movie.
Black Sails: I. (2014)
Laughable...over the top
IS this a joke series? "Hes gotta go see blackbeard, Oh does he? He is just a cook. Sorry mates, rules are rules. Every new shipmate has to go see blackbeard.
Blackbeard is 6 prostitutes at once?..ugh, Youre telling me that a ship full of pirates has a rule that every new crew member gets 30 mintues alone time with these 6 women? Ugh. Pirates are so nice to each other, wow. Is this a show for kids? Like 14 year old kids? Feels like it.
I was actually enjoying the show for the most part. THe whole prequel thing adds nothing other than you know that the cook will not die. It makes it too easy, too simple.
Gojira -1.0 (2023)
Godzilla looks awful,,,sorry
Yeah...im sorry. But i kept hearing amazing things about the 3d animation and special effects that when i saw it was on netflix I had to watch it. But the special effects are not good at all.
This was my main appeal. But its a dud. Godzilla moves like an actual animal the first time we see him, but he is ugly as sin. But later he looks like a man in a rigid puppet costume. He cant move his neck, or arms, or head, or make any kind of facial expressions at all. Its so robotic.
Now My dad certainly did not mind these effects because he grew up in the era where it really was a man in a costume. But As for me, its a huge downfall.
One more thing. The main character gets confirmation later in the movie that had he fired at Gozilla the first time he saw him, it would not have made any difference at all thanks to its rapid healing. And Yet he beats himself up over this.
Godzillas laser cannon blows things away then sucks it back in faster than it blew out? What is the science behind this? It looked awful.
Atlas (2024)
A pointless movie
I did not realize what kind of a movie this was going to be. The whole movie is Jennifer Lopez in a box on a greenscreen. And unfortunately she is not a strong enough actor to carry a whole movie by herself.
So the movie starts on a woman with crazy hair, This was the very first thing that I noticed. I thought she was going to be a robot because she wakes up with this crazy hair, has the same crazy hair in every picture of her and goes to work and comes home with the same crazed hair.
And so She is not a robot, or ai. Thats not the twist. The twist is that there is no twist. Literally. I think. It seems like the twist was that Atlas thought she was responsible somehow. And clearly she is not.. But i dont get it. I guess the twist is that the name Atlas doesnt mean anything important.
So instead of letting the ai leave they chase him down in another freaking galaxy...Woa woah hold on. Another galaxy? So humanity is spread throughout the universe now? Who knows. Its never mentioned. Not a single freaking time. The humans speak as if earth is the only planet humans are on. Which makes zero sense.
Gen V: The Whole Truth (2023)
I like Waterworld
I guess i kinda am enjoying the show. But it doesnt make any sense.
Is it the editing? All of a sudden MC is asking Jake from Supernatural for help, then suddenly she is in his room...he is naked..but she is not and the door is being broken down.
I for real thought the rest of the episode was taking place inside his head and that this was part of his psychic powers. There was just no indication as to what happened. But No. The mc really blew up his dick and is surprised for some reason. As if she hadnt done the exact same thing to her father when she was a child. But lets not spend any more time thinking about that and lets move on to making fun of waterworld. And How does the small girl grow again? Anyone? She eats? What? How much? Does she even know?
Gen V (2023)
the first episode does grab you. but it never keeps it up
Ok so the main character is a woman who has blood powers but never once has she tried to heal anyone from it? Even though she cuts herself every day.
The powers in this series are a representation of womans emotional problems. Does no one else have issue with this? She cuts herself. Her roomates power is bulimia, and the "Hot" girls power is to control men. Seeing a pattern yet?
How does the bulimia power work? Well she painstakenly throws up her whole body weight over a long period of time to shrink down to thumbelina size. But in order to grow she?... Um...eats. Does she eat her whole weight in food every time? I dont see any food lying around. Where does it come from. Can she become a giant through the same method? Well you will never find out.
Suzume no Tojimari (2022)
Great movie, but too long
So I liked this movie a good bit, but feel like its being held back by its long run time. So, they fill the movie up unnecessarily by repeating the same situations over and over again. They struggle to close a door, Chase down the cat and go to another door that they struggle to close. They do this same scene 4 or 5 times in different locations, rather than just move the story along.
I was hoping for something different to happen. Around the middle mark it seemed as though the movie was done. I was hoping for something a bit more exciting than what we got. But i still enjoyed it.
Too many scenes of people talking on the phone made some scenes unbearably boring.
Fallout: The End (2024)
Its good..but makes no sense.
Ok I realize we are not supposed to question the story. But That is a lame excuse for any movie or tv show to do nonsensical things...But i am having a really, really hard time understanding how a group from the outside got a bride for the main character inside, set up and ready to go without anyone raising an alarm. If they got inside without opening the vault..then why do the main characters have to open a vault to leave?
They dont think or talk about how the group got in there? Settings is pretty nice though and I guess that is all people care about..
umm...ymm...hmm...how to fill charactres...
Gisaengsu: Deo geurei (2024)
yeesh
Its probably the english dub. But this show is terrible. The pacing is terrible. 3 months later....ugh.
So yes the original parasyte was pretty awesome, even if the ending was just awful. And Because of its terrible ending I started watching this. But there is a lot more to be desired from this one than the last.
Again Its probably the english dub. But the dub is just awful. Some of the worst i have ever heard. Emotionless, monotone. You name it. Its there.
Maybe it gets better, but If i knew nothing about the original show I would be at a total loss. No getting to know the parasyte, or how it even linked with the woman. Just striaght to 3 months later.
Boku no Daemon (2023)
It started off amazingly...then crashed
I was hooked immediately. I was totally loving most of the show, except for sometimes the characters movements would show just how lifeless they really are. Most especially on background characters who dont really react or move like real people.
But anyways, the story was great until the human daemon. Which I did grow to like, but it did throw me off at first. But what i cannot deal with is the loss of Anna at the end. She acted like she had to sacrifice herself to keep the villain trapped in the void, but then he shows up at the end anyways. Did Anna also return? Why not show us rather then tease us?
.. So Daemons are basically a superior life form that came from radioactive sand? They are super smart, have amazing abilities and can grow to become godlike?
Our Universe (2022)
Enough with the bs stories
Love the visuals, love the science and the cgi effects are just outstanding. But the storytelling is so annoying. Also in my opinion, all of the animal connections to the universe felt so forced that it was cringe worthy. Its just so dragged out to maximize length at every possible turn.
And the penguins..the most forced story of the whole bunch. As if we are to believe they are following the same 2 penguins the whole time. As if we knew which 2 penguins would end up together and tell this crap story about how they are destined to be together. Which would have been fine but wow do they drag it out. Like a anime episode!
