Reviews
Past Lives (2023)
Like taking Melatonin
Snooze fest! How was this rated so high? I wasn't expecting the Notebook, but for an avg rating of 8 as of today I expected way better. So many dead seconds of the two just staring at each other trying to figure out what to say. It was awkward. The story has potential but it was truly boring for us. No thanks just skip it. I only liked the New York back drop. That's it. All 3 characters were just ehh. The previews had me fooled like they were young lovers that reconnected but they were playground buddies only 12 years old and didn't even share a hug much less a kiss or anything. 24 years later we thought magic was going to happen? Nope!
Dune (2021)
Dragged on at times and so much up close face drama
The cinematography was awesome but the character development was just not good. There were so many close up face shots! It was just over the top with big music it was like watching a dramatic baywatch beach scene over and over in slow motion ! Lol maybe not that bad, but they tried to make every up close scene so sappy It got old quick. It was hard to follow for so long I don't get all the rave reviews. Sorry but the best part for me was the Jason Momoa fight scenes and that's about it.
The American Barbecue Showdown (2020)
Rasheed was awesome the Gentleman BBQ Master
Rasheed had me drawn to his cooking, his innovative style and was just a true gentleman and good guy! I loved rooting for him and thought he was the clearly the winner. The final two ladies were great too but Rasheed was consistently good from day 1.
I agree with the other reviews that Melissa Cookston was EXTREMELY ANNOYING. Her conceited ways and harsh criticism was over the top. The rough voice didn't help either.
The judging should have been by 3 or 4 judges. 2 with experience, 1 celebrity and 1 teen or young adult who just loves bbq. And sides are okay I guess, but judge just the protein bbq main course.
The plates should be tasted without knowing who cooked them initially so there is no bias in selecting a winner like Melissa does with all the women.
They automatically judged the next meal on how they did the previous cooks. Each competition plate should be judged without that history.
I loved the show because I loved to BBQ! I would have loved to have gotten an in depth look at the pits used. I love my Traeger grill. Rasheed would be a good judge next season!
