Reviews
Outer Range (2022)
4th wall bad editing
What the hell are they trying to do on this show? I can't settle into the show, because of grating music, irritating camera angles and editing work.
Unnecessary blurring of backgrounds, shots into mirrors and lights. Closeups, angles and terrible production leaves me distracted.
Who is trying to impress who? Editor? Director?
Even a simple shot of a man on a horse moving away from camera has to be blurred out. It's like I was when I first edited a hom movie and overused every effect to test them out. You spend your time being distracted by it and not learning anything about characters.
Tell the story, not your skills.
Russian Doll (2019)
Basically a drug advertisement
Basically an ad for an isreali ketamine based drug and the trip you go on.
From the start to the very end, I am sure this is all its about. If you enjoy a freakish ride, this may be for you.
The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window (2022)
Its like two writers
The first 7 episodes written by an ok writer with the last episode written by their child after watching Hallmark.
I felt entirely cheated by the end episode which was the worst babble of writing I have seen in a long time.
It felt like it was going to be a decent story but it was illusory.
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Awful
Watch the original. At least it will have heart, sincerity, camaraderie and humour. Vastly superior to this awful remake. Who decides to make this stuff? Fire them.
The X Files: This (2018)
Deadly stupid
Glen Morgan wanted to do an action flick but instead he ruined XFiles.
The X Files: My Struggle III (2018)
Absolutely lost the popcorn.
The xfiles has crept so far up the creator's arses that there is nothing left but crap.
Why the 'modern' new camera angles?
Whats with the camera focus experiments?
A car chase? Car scenes, mustang?
Fight scenes? Gore, blood?
Back story diarrhea.
The scripts use of exposition is putrid.
Out of character plots.
Suspense music during a chat?
A soap opera dream/vision plot?
Agent Einstein?
What did they do to Reyes? Our of character.
Mulder cuts his throat?
There would be no reason to doubt Skinner after all the history. Out of character.
Smoking man, was blown up in previous season in a non recoverable way.
The Titan (2018)
Shockingly terrible
Spend some time watching paint dry. Seriously, 20min to the store, get back, paint a nice stripe on the wall and watch it dry.
You will feel so much better and much more entertained.
The Mummy (2017)
Aweful
Cruise cannot carry this kind of film.
Cruise poses and inserts himself into edits where clearly he was not needed. Editing is bad as it clearly has an agenda other than story and pace.
Scenes of low quality.
Dialogue terribly written and executed.
Not worthy of the set designs.
No chemistry between any of the actors.
Appaling that such a budget could create such a low quality impression of the original.
The ABC Murders (2018)
They butchered sherlock holmes
But this darker Poirot was spot on. I understand the Poirot fans may not find it truthful to their universe but as a starting point for new fanbase, it was done rather well.
Its good to see an incremental modernization rather than a complete mashup. Think, it could have been as bad as Sherlock with Robert Downey jr fight scenes.
My Name Is Earl (2005)
Wonderful
Great cast. Well written and loads of fun..
Cant understand why they stopped this..
IO (2019)
Damn damn damn
Unfortunately its not that next great scifi.
Watch on a lazy Sunday with low and lazy expectations.
Black Mirror: Bandersnatch (2018)
Nope.
The choices are loaded, story is predictable and the 'ive chosen lsd for you' is pathetic.
Homecoming (2018)
Dreadful directing
The director is trying to do something in every scene. Is he learning the trade? Is he trying to make some new style? The music for the second episode is grating and awful, trying to add suspense where there isnt any yet.
I dont mind slow, but tell a story. The first episode was stretched out soo much it had nothing to say.
I will the next episode, due to other high reviews. I am hoping the acting improves and the director removes himself from the story.
