Dexter: New Blood (2021)
Just Like Dextrose; but Worse for Your Teeth.
If you are not a fan of Dexter, why would you watch this? And if you're a fan of Dexter why would you put yourself thru this torture, thru this embarrasment and desecration of a monument? This lame attempt of a comeback has everything that is currently wrong with television dramas; mostly bad, empty actors; teenagers being awful stereotypes, rude, dumb and mostly complete aholes the whole time; "modern" people with nothing to say portraying day-to-day life in the most annoying of ways. Harrison being the biggest prick imaginable makes you not care about what happens to him at all, not to mention that the actor looks like 25 and nothing like Dexter's kid. (he's supposed to be 16) Almost unwatchable. I honestly never liked Debra much, but she is just insufferable in this new form; nothing like the guide Harry was. Not one character is likeable or compelling in any way, most of them are just cringy and horrible. The show feels cheap, lazily written, amateurly directed, and badly performed, the intro and ending graphics are hacky, busy and tasteless. There are some easter eggs here and there and the story sort of gets connected but feels forced. I chose not to get right in it when it was released, spare myself a huge disappointment, wanting not to taint the memory of the original. I did not really heard much about it, and now I know why.
Mulligan (2023)
Minimum Effort Met
The very first joke, ripped off from the simpsons. It is as bland as (I imagine) ground elephant meat would taste. A dumb name for a very stupid main character; the weirdest cast ensemble for absolutely no reason. Tina Fey as the "smart" scientist, negligent mom; Chrissy Teigen... emm; why is she even there? I guess a dumb sounding voice was needed; the talented Dana Carvey, but doing the only bad voice character he has. The guy doing Matty's voice is just cliché at nauseam. And all the rest, who make no sense at all. You don't really care about any of the characters.
The plot is not terrible; just the execution.
For this kind of show to work, they need real voice and writing talent to merge, and a very distict and original animation style; two of which, they have none. And it is a shame, because there's a lot of potential here, in the right hands.
A real gap exists now for a good animated comedy show and there's not much to fill it with, just more and more of the same regurgitaded garbage; like this completely missed oportunity.
When will the next: Rick and morty, Family Guy, (early) Futurama, The Simpsons *(Seasons 2-10) American Dad or South Park be created?
The question remains and the spot is quite open.
The Terminal List (2022)
Maximus Cringe
I've heard someone (somewhat) respectable say that this is Chris Pratt's best performance, so I checked it out. Well, it wasn't terrible, but not at all his best, the E1 is cringe worthy on every turn, and every minute of it; no military man is like that at all. His family are like the gold medal winners of the cringe olympics, his daughter looks at least 10 years old but acts like a 5-6 year old. The casting makes very little sense, other than for people to be like, "Hum, I've seen this person before"... Where? No idea...can't recall" The super overrated fresh off the boat Constance Who? ...Why? Taylor Kitchen? ...Why? Entertainment has lost all the entertaining qualities, every time is just dissapointment after dissapointment; makes you wanna grab a book.
James May: Our Man in... (2020)
Not Great.
Love Mr. Captain Slowly on pretty much anything, even when he is not camera ready; But this travel show is too pretentious and too saturated at times; a more organic, less "adventurous" James is way better. Why are they forcing him to interact with people he would never do in a natural environment? AND FOR FS why can't they find better english speaking people with a better understanding of both english and italian cultures for the 'companion/guide' parts.
The Gray Man (2022)
More like Black and White.
Does anybody else other than Quentin knows how to make movies anymore? I know we all have been watching the same movies; but these people really cannot, for the sake of originality, come up with anything interesting or genuine at all. Who is whatching this and thinking: "Oh, that is new", "I've never seen that before". Nope, not a single second of this expensive turd has that. It is all the same style, the same regurgitated lines, the same characters, the same pointless destruction, the same hollowness. Nothing in it, nothing at all, it is empty; just like our society. I hope they lose a lot of money. Everyone involved.
Outer Range (2022)
Dog Shiiiiiiiiieeeeeeett
Another beautifully filmed but disappointing story; full of clichés, totally unnecesary songs and music to try to be a profound and sentimental piece. It kinda has an initial pull with the "hole"; but decays faster than a raw steak left out of the fridge. Some good but wasted performances from Josh Brolin and a couple other actors but generally terribly casted. And it hasn't even made thru the first season. Don't bother.
The Lost Daughter (2021)
Freak Parade on Acid.
What the hell was that?... I'll tell you: The most awkward compilation of actors (except for Ed Harris, dunno what he was doing there) in one amateur mash up of mostly close-ups concocted by a deranged director, in what feels like a very personal and specific tale about a terrible and crazy person/mother that for sure won't be connecting with a lot of people, and a bunch of weird events; you will be uncomfortable from the very beginning because NO ONE in this movie knows how to interact with another human. And given it has to be exclusively weirdos, of course Peter Sarsgaard is in it. This freak show of a movie wants to be something but nobody knows what; it wants to be profound and "artistic" but it is just obnoxious. Also I don't know what is up with that actress Jessie Buckley, she's nasty and I don't know why but I find her repulsive; almost as much as Olivia Colman. You're welcome to check it out and make your own opinion but; you've been warned.
Don't Look Up (2021)
Great Success!
This movie is a total success; Adam McKay wants you to hate this movie and everyone in it, and he masterfully succeeded at that, by a long shot. (no pun intended) I understand what is the point of it, and what you might get out of it; but honestly, who in the actual fudge wants to see that?; We know the people in charge are blatantly incompetent, even the dumbest human being can spot that. But what can you accomplish by annoying your audience to the point of anger? What can you possibly manage to atain by demonstrating that this, very possible event (not for a hundred years though) is going to be politicized to the extreme? The movie itself is as unnecessary as a colonoscopy for a child, the casting is also very strange and feels completely forced. You could've obtain the same effect with unknown actors. It is a very, very uncomfortable movie; and not in the good way. Very idiotic; but, be sure, it ain't the great Idiocracy. There is no comedic timing at all. It's serious business. To summarize, this movie hits the nail right in the head. And I hated every second of it. But strangely, I also kinda loved it...

The Harder They Fall (2021)
Probably the Worst Western ever made.
Jeymes Samuel is not Quentin Tarantino; but he surely thinks he can do the same thing; while technically correct and visibly impressive, those traits are hardly an achivement in today's film industry; in fact those are very easy to come by, with a substantial budget (which this movie crearly had) you can make a movie that looks as pretty as you want. But that doesnt mean you'll make a good film. This poor attempt is a totsl miss, a gigantic wasted oportunity or/and a massive lack of directorial talent. This movie disappoints on all fronts. I would call it a nice attempt of doing something remarkable but the truth is there's nothing nice about the way this movie was "accomplished". The acting was dreadful, the story is dumb tonsay the least, and... the train... oh, the train. Idris Elba and Delroy Lindo delivered good performaces but there's a lot more needed to save this very casual and super badly made piece of seudo entertainment.
Venom (2018)
Biggest problem with Venom is:
The cast; Tom Hardy makes very little sense, but the rest of the 'actors' in this movie have no justification at all, Jenny Slate? Seriously? Wasn't Anybody better? Michelle Williams? Why? The guy who is Brocks boss, again, why? The indian bad guy, wrong. None of this people seem to be right for those parts at all. Seems like they went to spend all their money on Hardy and then use "generic imitations" for everyone else.
Electric Dreams (2017)
Pretty terrible, full of clichés and stolen ideas.
If you like to be fed the same recycled ideas about a futuristic vision by a blind eye; who's focus on how pathetic humans can be, even in the 'harshest' conditions of a time to come. You will surely be satisfied by this lame attemp.
Point Break (2015)
THE worst remake and one of the worst movies ever made.
Let's begin with the terrible, awful cast. There's not a single decent actor or decent performance in this fiasco; the direction has no direction at all; it's like a 10 year old made it with his uncles and their drugged up friends, nothing is as 'cool' as it believes it is, not unless you're 6 and you have brain damage; the whole movie smells bad, there's a feel of it that can only be interpreted as a synesthetic smell of urine. The cinematography is laughable and the character development.. there is not character development. A geico commercial has more dept and value, that kinda says it all. It really should make you angry if you are a movie fan, specially if you saw Point Break. This visual vomit shouldn't have the right use that name.
The Midnight Sky (2020)
By God, what a terrible waste of money.
This has "monuments men" written all over it, another example of how awful Clooney is as a ditector, honestly stop giving the man all the green lights and money for this projects just because he is George Clooney, he's a great actor but the man has no vision at all, and there's no story to tell. Just a terrible waste of time.
What Dreams May Come (1998)
I saw this movie on the day of my eleventh birthday...
Enough said.. this movie changed every cell in my body.. 'till that point anyway. I wouldn't recomend if you're not in the mood for some really energy depleting and emotionally heavy movie; not for kids at all; unless very mature. It is a fantastic and visually stunning piece of art. And you'll miss Robin Williams like you never thought you would.
2012 (2009)
worst movie about world catastrophes ever
Just sheit, a bunch of expensive full of stars sheit.
Jurassic World (2015)
stupid
Horrible piece of crap, why would dinosaurs become senseless creatures that attack humans like the plague? It makes no sense at all, Is the message of the movie: Humans Suck? if it is, I guess they nailed it. Terrible acting as well; other than maybe Jake and Chris.
House M.D.: Two Stories (2011)
kids are terrible actors
This episode has to be the most annoying, and proof that the show peaked a couple seasons back. this episode (and the 5 previous are a clear decline) The 'actor' kids are really bad, which ruins the entire episode also the teacher and the 'other parents' are pretty bad. a total miss in my opinion.
Booksmart (2019)
pretty terrible.
The world is surely ending. And the reason is: we can't come up with anything original anymore, our way of thinking is tainted to the point of no return; mediocre acting is praised now as brilliant and little on-screen chemestry is now a thing of wonder. This terrible movie is the best example of why there are no good movies anymore; watermarked by the dull "party-cool-girl of the 90's" personality of Olivia Wilde is extremely annoying. Sure, you can make money by making this cheesy cliché proven formula, but film is an art form that deserves much more respect than this. (even more for comedy)
Space Force (2020)
what happened?
How on earth can you ruin something with a cast like that?; Malcovich and Carrell, seemed like an unmissable thing, a recipe for utter succes, right? Well this was probalby the worst thing I've seen with any of the cast involved, pick one, and you wont find anything that sucks this much.
