The Orville (2017)
The Fat-head Elevator Alien is the Best Character on this Show
If you can look past the bad acting from certain characters like LaMar or Kitan...
If you can look past lots of lazy writing...
If you can even look past the bad humor and weird deliveries...
It's actually a pretty entertaining show. I've had flu for a week and watched the whole season. I think some people complained because they randomly made LaMar's dumbness have a crazy high IQ in the 11th episode.
Anyway, it's n easy watch and especially the early episodes are good. The season start to drop off later on.
I don't know the characters name... but he's this big headed yellow alien, and he's freaking hilarious. Bumped my rating from a 7 to an 8. He only makes bit appearances but should be a made a main character.
Tom Segura: Disgraceful (2018)
He's gotten even better, which is saying a lot.
First off: Don't listen to these dumb comments giving Tom a freakin one out of ten. Like, are you joking me? Because he made TASTEFUL jokes about Downsyndrome and wasn't even directly making fun of them.
Anyway, that out of the way, he's found a way to do less and say more. What I mean is: he's more subtle and somehow more funny. His timing is masterful. His expressions are genuinely funny and truthful. His set is fresh af. I loved it. And I'm very critical of stand ups. It does help that I've been a Tom fan for years.
PS- He lost the weight! Yes!
Wonder (2017)
Sometimes predictable, done right, is fantastic...
Yeah, it follows many of the corny and prosaic cliches of a bully/hero movie, but that doesn't always mean it's bad.
I can say first-hand how enjoyable this was. Maybe it was the mood I was in, it's possible, but it delivers the right thing from a theme easily over-worn. It's a feel-good movie and that's exactly how I felt at the end.
The most important thing this movie needed in order to be good is that you're rooting for the characters, that they're cared for...and this movie has quite a few with Auggie being the central character. This movie manages to pull off a very difficult task as it cycles through backstories. I managed to be rooting for most of them by the end of it, so amazing job there.
Message for the viewer who's probably checking to see if they should watch this or not: "It's a tear-jerker about a boy and his world. It's a feel-good constant and it doesn't fall flat like most I've seen. Watch it. Trust me.
The Handmaid's Tale (2017)
Meh. Halfway through the second season.
Second season super slow. Lots of pretty shots.
Watch as she gets recaptured and mopes around the house some more while terrible mean and unfair things continue happening to her. The long drawn out dolly shots of the unjust behavior. The vileness of the colonies.
Its supposed to be a desperate separate story of the other hand maids that went to colonies - I'm sure it'll all tie together soon as June is pushed to lead a revolution of sorts but it's jjst so damn slow and depressing. At least the first season was fresh and depressing.
Downsizing (2017)
Small piece
I'll start off by saying there are some nice moments in this movie.
The Vietnamese girl was pretty good.
But the story development is so absolutely messy and unappealing that you forget you're watching a movie about small people revolutionizing the world. With a budget of 68 million it's absurd to me that this wasn't addressed during preproduction.
All in all, I want my $6 back for renting this. And I don't think I've ever fealt that way about a movie.
The writing, the story, the premise, the direction. Good god what a disaster. Unappealing Waste of a lead character. With tons of throw away pointless characters peppered in.
