The Veil (2017)
To watch the Unwatchable
The only reason to watch this movie is because it is so unwatchable. The Veil is a movie where the soul of Ed Wood is resurrected into the body of whoever directed this and then goes to an artsy film school, then takes way too many mushrooms and cannabis gummy bears, then somehow gets $300,000.00 and makes a movie.
True Detective: The Western Book of the Dead (2015)
So far a major let down from last year
Boring and confusing. I really don't have much interest in the main characters and haven't even learned their names yet, there is (Damaged cause my daddy is a cult leader) girl cop, (Corrupt, but loves his son) Cop and (Bisexual war vet just wants to ride his motorcycle) cop and then the Vince Vaughn character that is so dull the TSA wouldn't hassle you if you took him on a plane. Oh yeah, last weeks unrealistic shootout, total unprepared understaffed SWAT team with not military equipment or even assault rifles, explosion cause explosions are cool, shooting civilians for no reason, cause bodies all over the street look cool, world's slowest getaway driver, so many cops shot dead that in real life the president would have the 82nd Airborne parachute in and all the Marines in CA would seal off the rest of the city and the main character cops are unhurt. My only reason that I may continue watching is to see when the Bar owner where Corrupt loves his son cop and the Vince Vaughn character meet, finally figures out that the girl playing guitar while singing the world's most depressing songs is the reason there are only four customers in his bar. Oh Yeah, this years theme song sucks, too.
The World Wars (2014)
The World Wars is the Plan 9 from Outer Space of History
My god, where to begin? I think some 9th grade history students were assigned a project, but got into somebody's expired prescription medication to come up with this mess. I knew we were in trouble when it started with Hitler not being able to seal his gas mask during a gas attack in what was labeled Sep. 1914. Since nobody used poison gas until 1915 and no real working gas mask as shown made available to troops before late 1915-1916, I was still left wondering why Hitler had a 1916 German helmet and his fellow soldiers seemed to be using British Lee Enfield rifles and the British were shooting at the Germans with American M1903 Springfield rifles. President Wilson must have been a time traveler, since he had a 1940's radio in his office in 1916, 4 years before the first radio station. I have no idea why WWII lasted as long as it did, since in one clip the US Navy had a Nimitz Class Carrier with a deck filled with Super Hornets and in another the Russian's had M47 tanks from the 50's, but the German had T-54's, and I still can't figure out why the South Vietnamese Army was fighting in the Philippines in 1941. (Army guys with a palm tree in the ground, yeah stick in there, nobody will notice). A little bit of acting, and lots of random military stock footage from 1914-at least 1990. This is the worst History show in History. Everyone at the History Channel that had any part in this should be fired. I have no clue how this ever could have been approved to air. It's so bad, it's like they did it on propose as some kind of sick joke. It's so bad you can't turn away, you've just got to see the next ridiculous error. World Wars, if Ed Wood did documentaries.
