Shi shen ling (2021)
Best fantasy movie in a while
I think the best filmmakers aren't in Hollywood, China has taken this industry and raised the bar(far beyond anything Hollyweird could muster). This movie has imagination and the fx to execute a well told fantasy. Most everything out there is the same old cookie cutter schlock. The cinematography is great, acting is spot on, CGI is over the top. This movie rocks! China and New Zealand are taking the world by storm.
Manny & Lo (1996)
Once again overating an underrated gem
Just because! I 'll never look at Scarlett the same way and Mary k wonderful in fact Paladino(maybe misspelled) also underrated; great movie cast just works!
Jupiter Ascending (2015)
Wait a second while I pull this stick out!
Much better...ok is this movie really a ten, maybe not but it will help balance out the others who forgot to pull their sticks out! I'm not a kunis fan at all so I went into this with a negative attitude, however I was pleasantly surprised. The cast was well chosen, acting was good, great fx and a decent plot(good sci-fi/fantasy). Now don't forget to pull that stick out before watching this underrated gem.
John Carter (2012)
this movie is so underrated. it seriously rocks!
I'm not sure what the deal is with the low rating but this is one of the best all-time fantasy/scifi movies ever. It's pretty much nonstop action all the way through. Excellent acting, great effects, awesome cinematography. Definitely worth a watch!
The Last Full Measure (2019)
US Air Force recognized for valor... nice!
My personal favorite Vietnam conflict movie followed by "Danger Close". Other true story greats are "Hacksaw Ridge" and "12 Strong".
Man with a Plan (2016)
shows that need laugh tracks
Shows that need laugh tracks are not usually funny and this show is no exception. What's with the kindergarten? Every episode is Leblanc and the teacher, what the hell?! Poor writing,not funny, lame show. Liz Snyder was much better in "Yes Dear". "The kids are alright" was a much better show with no laugh track and it got canceled. WOW!!!
Night on Earth (2020)
camera work is good
Camera work is good, script is not good, narration is sofaking bad. You know if you can't pronounce a word properly then you shouldn't be using it. It's not a soap opera, it's a documentary. Wasn't
David Attenborough available?, problems solved!
Booksmart (2019)
very reminiscent of my high school days...
Very reminiscent of my high school days... except for the realization of having wasted my time being good. I never actually had fun until my college days and boy howdy did I ever make up for lost time. Anywho pretty decent movie, especially if you are a nerd (apparently now it's cool). I enjoyed it for the most part, Olivia Wilde go figure.
Support the Girls (2018)
Boring, bad, "Hooters" wannabe
Bad acting, poorly edited, not even close to funny. I worked in restaurants all my life and this is not realistic, in fact that place would have been shut down the first day. That Richardson girl has potential but she might want to distance herself from garbage like this, she was good in "The edge of seventeen" and better in "Five feet apart". I guess it's work, I mean look at Willis and Cage anything for a buck, right.
The Good Place (2016)
rock and a hard place
This show rocks, it brings a smile to my otherwise melancholic face!
The Kids Are Alright (2018)
Great original, a new classic
Great show, I catch myself laughing out loud w/o a laugh track (imagine that). I'm not going to compare it to other shows, it's original and stands on it's own merits. LMAO funny!
