Awesome!
3 September 2018
This is a fun and funny kids show. Stupid but in a very cute way. The kids love it just like we used to! Great to see this on TV again.

Zombie Beach (2010)
1/10
Ugh
3 September 2018
Terrible movie. Terrible acting, terrible probably unfinished script, terrible production values, terrible sound that's just not right through the whole thing, most of all terrible zombies and there's only a few of them in the whole movie for like a couple minutes so why is this thing even called Zombie Beach? Also the usual giant pile of reviews I doubt are real for these Mukesh Asopa things.

100 Glowing Reviews? Nice Try Guys
3 September 2018
So this small film I saw at the festival that I doubt 400 total people even saw has 400 ratings here on IMDb, okay I guess maybe that is possible, but only huge blockbusters have 100 people leaving reviews. Plus every one of the reviews is a 10, a 9, or a few 8/10 reviews, they all rave about the same things, and so many of them also mention the festival it was screened at and where this movie is available for purchase/download. This is why ratings on IMDb need to be taken with a great big wheelbarrow sized grain of salt.

This movie was not awful but it was far from being good. It was cheaply produced, the sound is off, the acting and production team are amateurish and the script is boring, slow and totally predictable.

I find this movie's rating and reviews to be highly inflated and very, very suspicious. Which seems to also be the case for Mukesh Asopa's other movies if you check out the similar ratings and reviews for the likewise cheap and amateurish "Zombie Beach".... why guys?

Spacebar (1998–2002)
5/10
Average
2 September 2018
Depending on who is on as guests etc the show wasn't so bad. I guess it depends a lot on what you think of the hosts. It could be kind of boring but once you get used to them it's just like hanging out with sci-fi friends who are chatting about stuff.

Sad Ripoff of The Soup
2 September 2018
This show is just a sad ripoff of The Soup. I like Jon-O a lot but he's not a good host for something like this (or Wipe Out Canada for that matter). His day time talk show was okay but he is not fast, witty or funny enough for something like this. All of the jokes are written for him and they all come off wooden and hollow. He's great but he's just not good at this kind of hosting job. The writing itself is terrible though too with the worst and most obvious jokes. The show even looks woefully cheap, even compared to the Soup which is supposed to look cheap. In every way this is just a sad cheaper lesser quality and less funny version of the Soup. Too bad because it is a proven format.

Gotta Love Wayne & Shuster!
2 September 2018
This show is mostly recycled old sketches from earlier Wayne and Shuster but that's Okay by my book because it means basically you get to watch kind of a "best of Wayne and Shuster" show. The comedy holds up and is a window to a classic era of Canadian sketch comedy and variety shows on CBC.

Boring Breakage
2 September 2018
This show somehow makes exploding stuff boring. They do so much teasing about what is coming up on the show that when you finally get there it is boring and does not live up to their own hype. Plus even worse they show clips of everything coming up later so you've already seen all the good stuff and more than once so what's the point of even showing it again later? It is a half hour show so why do you need so many clips of what is coming up anyway?

The hosts are also terrible, trying so hard to be funny and witty but failing. Either they are friends in real life and just geeky, unfunny and doing jokes just for themselves, or they are trying to make it seem that way and super awkward together, I don't know or care all I care about is that they are boring, unfunny and uninteresting to me. All the small things they do and all the banter they have in the episodes leading up to the "main event" house damage they do is so boring and like I said when they finally get to the little explosion or whatever it is not even remotely worth the wait.

Seriously Never Ever Do This At Home how in the world do you make damaging a house and exploding something boring? I'm happy to see this one is gone.

Tremors 5: Bloodlines (2015 Video)
8/10
Inferior Sequel
2 September 2018
I loved the Tremors movie when it came out and went to the movies to watch it three times with friends. I still loved it after that and still do today but there has been a steady decline to the point I may not watch it any more. This movie is still worth watching but once they brought in Jamie Kennedy it was a huge step back and now I think I'm out on this franchise... hopefully the planned reboot happens and gets things back on track.

Inferior Version/Bad Hosts
2 September 2018
This whole show is just people getting knocked off things into a pool of water while the hosts crack really bad jokes about it and use the worst dad jokes and puns. That is it it isn't Shakespeare or anything but it also is much worse than the US version of the show like usual. Needs wackier contestants and much better/funnier hosts.

Funny Adults Only Comedy
2 September 2018
Jon Dore is nothing like he was in Canadian Idol in this, they do very over the top adult situations in this so it's late night stuff and not for kids. Sex, drinking, drugs, in one episode I remember that he even was running around inside a video of his own proctology exam. For adults though I thought it was a funny show and at least it was different and very outside the box for Canadian TV which is usually so safe and boring.

Decent, Great Animators
2 September 2018
Really like the animation style. Combination of voice work and writing could be a lot funnier but this is better than most Canadian animated shows, elevated like I said by some really good animation.

Curly Sue (1991)
9/10
Great Family Movie
2 September 2018
This was a very good family movie. The girl who played Curly Sue was really funny and likable. The actors were all good in their roles. Not a great film but a great family movie everyone can watch and enjoy, nice and heartwarming and clean dialogue etc.

Final Curtain (2005 Video)
1/10
This Was Bad
2 September 2018
Super cheap zero budget look and talent. A story that is obvious and goes nowhere new or interesting. Every angle I looked at this from it was still a big failure.

Hit and Miss
2 September 2018
Like any improv show there is a lot of hit and miss. But you have to remember for the misses that they are just making this stuff up as they go so you have to let it go sometimes and just enjoy it for what it is, silly fun improv.

Learning the Ropes (1988– )
7/10
Awesome to the Max!
2 September 2018
This show was so awesome. I know it's incredibly lame with Lyle Alzado starring as a guy who kept his double life secret from his kids and went out as a masked wrestler to fight for what's right and teach us kids valuable lessons about life every week. The acting was weak and the stories were ridiculous but who cares? How can you not love this show? Totally fun and oddball.

Okay so yeah it's bad.....
2 September 2018
But it's just a goofy 50's/60's beach blanket bingo type caper movie so you can't take it seriously. Just slapstick jokes, music of the era (early rock and roll era and beach party music), and a silly story holding everything together. It's just goofy fun... and a must see for any fans of Little RIchard! Not his best music or performance but it's neat to see him performing in an actual movie... and a young him at that!

Futurama (1999– )
10/10
Awesomerama!
16 January 2014
Futurama was dollar for dollar and pound for pound the best animated comedy series for adults. The Simpsons for several years was maybe the best comedy show on television over all but by the time Futurama hit the airwaves the Simpsons had fallen significantly and even jumped the shark in my opinion. Futurama deserved more respect and viewers and it's too bad it ended up getting cancelled so soon because I don't think it ever really made it all the way back to the excellent programs they were making before Fox made the mistake of cancelling them in the first place. This show will always have a special place in my heart and I can't wait for the last DVD set to come out so I can complete my collection. I only hope they make more movies.

Something's Boring
16 January 2014
That's right something is boring in Denmark and do you know what it is? I will give you ten guesses and all ten of those guesses should be this movie, because Something's Gotta Give is a very boring movie. There are obviously a couple of legend actors and actresses in this movie so it should be amazing but it is just an average romantic comedy with big time actors going through the paces and I guess just doing this for the big payoff at the end of the day. I was very disappointed and bored throughout. What should have been an 8 or 9 out of 10 is instead just a 4 and most of that is for the pretty good writing by whoever wrote this movie.

Firefly (2002–2003)
9/10
Amazing.
6 July 2013
Firefly was one of the best shows ever on TV it was a combination of two of my favourite genres the western and science fiction, which has been tried before but always turned out stupid in my opinion (Wild West was really really awful). The show was a great show for what it was but it was also really funny. Nathan Fillion was amazing in this show as the captain, kind of a confederate soldier type who had been on the losing side in a rebellion or civil war and is now a smuggler. The cast was really well chosen and it is probably the best show by Joss Whedon and I loved Buffy and Angel. Not sure what else to say other than everyone loves this show for a reason it's great!
