The Source Family (2012)
Still Cultists after all this time
Just seems to justify their behaviours and the cults tactics. Sad that even now most seem to be still taken in by it all. This film is far not nearly critical enough and takes to long to look at the danger it was from the beginning. Cults and religions only divide people.
The Great Canadian Baking Show (2017)
Awful Version
I could barely tolerate the past two hosts but this season they just lost me with some very unfunny and bad hosts. I can tolerate the judges but the current hosts are just awful. I love the Great British Bakeoff and this just is missing personality that it has. Even with the change at the British show several seasons ago I was not sure what to expectant and the transition there worked out very well and was kpoing the same when they announced new hosts for the Canadian version but the transition just took what was an okay show and made it horrible. I watched the first few episodes hoping it would grow on me but instead made me swear I would never make myself suffer through anymore or them.Sad I was hoping the changes would make it better but it had the opposite effect. I cannot believe that Dan Levy would not be the worst host possible and they could actually find people who are far, far worse.
American Anarchist (2016)
This was poorly done.
He did not commit the crimes, to blame him for the actions of others is reprehensible.
Time Table (1956)
Gotta love it ...
I seen many bad reviews for this film and I just do not get it. I love it, it may not be the greatest film ever made but I love it. It is cheesy and I am okay with that. If you watch it without being overly critical it is a fun watch. It has its twists and turns which keep you interested. The plot is pretty decent and for the time original. If you like this genre of film you should really enjoy this one. Mark Stevens does a credible job as the lead and it is the earliest film I believe I saw Jack Klugman in. Ignore the nay sayers and give it go it may not be the best film you have seen but it will keep you entertained and in the end that is all a film is supposed to do. Yes there are some issues with the film but it was not a big budget movie and they do a brilliant job with what they are given. Try it, you won't regret it.
Shoot (1976)
It was the 1970's after all ......
I know this is a badly done movie but it is done in that special bad 1970's way that somehow makes it a tolerable odd movie that once you see it you will not forget it. I still remember seeing it the first time and it was so bad and such a dumb movie I recalled it in vivid detail.
After seeing a second viewing decades later it was even worse then I recalled and I remembered it being truly awful. Yet once I again I sat and watched it for a second time. I was fascinated by just how idiotic the entire group was, they had to be some of the daftest characters ever brought to screen. There is just no rhyme nor reason to why they whole movie plays out as it does, It makes no sense why any of it happens.
Now with all that being said if you have not seen it you should. Give it a watch, it will confuse and baffle you but one thing is for certain you will never forget it.
Last Exit to Brooklyn (1989)
a underrated masterpiece.
I can recall when I first saw this in a Cinema back in the early summer of 1989 and it had been the first film in a long while that had me interested enough I actually went to theatre to see it. I went alone it was a weekday afternoon and most movies I cannot recall where or when I saw them but this one sticks in my mind. The cinematography was flawless, the acting from all the actors was near perfect, the story was riveting. I think it has a real and raw grittiness to it that most films try to get but miss and Last Exit to Brooklyn nails it. I loved it and think it is sadly underrated and under appreciated.
Amy Schumer: The Leather Special (2017)
Just horrid
I love comedy and this was just atrocious. She is just not funny in this special in any aspect. her humour misses at every point, it is so bad I had to stop watching just pass the halfway point, I forced myself to watch it that long hoping it would get better, it didn't. Save your time and watch someone actually funny like Sarah Millican who is crude but knows how to make you laugh.
