The Refugees (2014–2015)

What the heck!

[6/10 · 30 May 2024]

I searched and rewound and played again and again, but I couldn't find the episode between four and five. Finally I found ianraypenny's review. That cleared it up. What an odd thing to do when offering a tv series. Refugees is right up my ally, so missing an episode is ridiculous. So I'm continuing to watch the rest of the episodes, and I sincerely hope there is a decent ending to the show or I'm going to b e doubly irrate. It's not the best or worst show I've seen, but I would like to watch the entire show.

Now I need to fill up 64 more characters, and I don't have anything else to say. Soooo.

You Can't Escape Me (2023 TV Movie)

Worse than a soap opera

[1/10 · 2 September 2023]

I don't know why I watched this. The first five minutes told me how awful it would be. The dialog is so corny it's ridculous. Those are some pretty crazy fake reviews lol.

If JLo couldn't make this work, these clowns certainly can't. It's a shame they didn't give the lead to Madison Russ or Fidelia Grace.

(Further ranting to make the review word limit.) Alex Trumble was unbelievable as an angry abuser. I think even Erin could have taken him down. And what's up with that weird *ss neighbor Polly? Everything was just over the top. I think I gagged a couple of times. My last two words: dumpster fire.

Keeper of the Ashes: The Oklahoma Girl Scout Murders (2022– )

What's she doing?

[5/10 · 2 July 2022]

Chenoweth's presence in this film is ridiculous! Her "Coulda-Woulda-Shouda" means what, exactly. This is a tragic story, so interjections of her waltzing through a field or looking at her own tributes really detracts from the story. Reminds me of Garth Brooks' and Soleil Moon Frye's shameless series. Get over yourselves.

Mr. Christmas (2004 Video)

Three stars for the dog

[3/10 · 15 December 2021]

I'm sure this was a high school play that someone shot with a movie camera. Dad pouts. Wife b!tches. Kids scream. Nothing fun at all. Lumps of coal all around.

Noise in the Middle (2020)

Well, that was stupid!

[4/10 · 18 November 2021]

1/3 of the movie is substance.

1/3 of the movie is Emmy raggedly crying.

1/3 of the movie is dad yelling, "Emmy, Emmy, Emmy, Emmy, Emmy!" Literally.

Unfriended (2014)

You know those movies?

[2/10 · 29 October 2021]

The ones where the characters are all idiots making idiotic choices? The ones where you wish all of the characters would die? This is tone of those movies. I had to mute most of the second half because of all the stupid screaming.

Best line of the movie: STFU

Two stars because, believe it or not, I've actually seen worse.

Nneka the Pretty Serpent (2020)

Booorrring

[3/10 · 21 August 2021]

Two hours and twenty minutes? If they had cut out all of the overly long staring and useless wandering, the movie would have been an hour, tops. I guess this is a revenge film? I could only make it through an hour before fast forwarding to the end.

There was zero emotion in this movie. People reacted so unnaturally. For instance, a girl spilled a drink and a man stood up and yelled, "Are you blind?" Then everyone stood around for a few awkward seconds. I don't know, maybe they were trying to remember their lines.

Nneka was so slow I actually checked to see if my wi-fi was working. This isn't a slow burn, it's a clogged toilet.

Bright Hill Road (2020)

I knew it!

[8/10 · 27 June 2021]

After watching Bright Hill Road I knew it would have a low rating. Maybe it's because I'm a recovering alcoholic, but I loved this film, even though it was predictable.

Come True (2020)

Seriously?

[4/10 · 20 June 2021]

After suffering through the irritation music and being distracted by Julia Sarah Stone's unique look, this is the ending I get? Boooooo!

Burning (2018)

I can't stand it lol

[5/10 · 17 June 2021]

I don't know if it's a culture issue, bad acting/directing, or my ignorance, but Yoo Ah-in spends 90% of the time with his mouth hanging open, staring mindlessly at someone/thing. Is his character mentally impaired? I'm asking that seriously, because if so, that would explain much. The characters react to events in ways that are confounding to me. As an average movie goer, this show did not cut it. I couldn't wait for it to be done.

Into the Badlands (2015–2019)

A finale worth your time

[10/10 · 11 June 2021]

I love this series. I could go on and on about "love this" or "hate that", but none of that matters. What matters is Marton Csokas the cringiest villain ever *shudders*. What matters is that each season gets better. What matters is that Pitbull's version of the Sound of Silence plays in season three. What matters is no one is spared (think GOT). What matters, what matters the most, is that the series finale was epic. I was shouting at my screen. It did leave room for a next season, but that would ruin the whole show. Well done, AMC! No cigarette smoking, no virgin shaming, no endless sex scenes, and no hidden agendas. I'm a fan for life.

2099: The Soldier Protocol (2019)

What is this? lol

[3/10 · 19 August 2020]

So David Arquette was never an award winning actor, but come on! This movie is so stupid. The dialog is atrocious and the story line is ridiculous. I watched it until the end just to see if there were more stupid scenes coming up and I was well rewarded. Three stars because compared to these 2099 "doctors" (and the directors, writers, editors, etc.), I felt uber intelligent. What a stinker.

The Guest (I) (2014)

Which film did these reviewers watch?

[3/10 · 25 July 2020]

There is no way on earth that the people giving high marks to The Guest actually watched it. What a stupid, stupid movie! I certainly hope the Military Police in the real world are smarter than two teenagers. Ugh!

Sylvia (II) (2018)

Really awkward

[4/10 · 16 July 2020]

I can't finish watching this movie. The timing is so awkward. It reminds me of a daytime soap opera. I kept yelling, "Do something! Say something!"

Four stars because, believe it or not, I've watched much worse.

Garth Brooks: The Road I'm On (2019)

I'm disallusioned :(

[3/10 · 12 July 2020]

Oh Garth, you are such a tool!

I don't see a director/writer/etc. listed for this "documentary". My guess is Garth contrived this showcase of himself, which makes the show even more creepy.

Garth whispers every sentence, then stares directly into the camera as if he just said something earth shattering.

So who is asking the questions? Garth wouldn't answer a question about his dad (cry, cry, cry), and yet he's the one who wrote the questions. Cringy isn't strong enough...I actually shuddered with embarrassment for him. Garth took a big dump on film.

Watch the first ten minutes and you don't have to watch the rest. It's simply Garth, Sandy, and Trisha talking about how amazing Garth is. I used to think he was too. Now I know better. Gag.

Primrose Lane (I) (2015)

Very lame

[3/10 · 29 June 2020]

Kathleen Davison needs to hire someone to do the acting for her. And the writing. And the directing. She is a truly bad actor. The whole movie is disjointed. Hal of this show should have ended up on the cutting room floor. It's one of those movies that's uncomfortable to watch because the acting and writing are so horrible. Three quarters of the way through there's a comedic converstation between Chee and Williams. I thought to myself, Wait! Is this supposed to be a comedy? No, it is not. I watched Primrose Lane to the bitter end, and as expected, it made no sense. Believe it or not I have seen worse movies. Three stars: 1 for Salty and Pepper, 1 for Chris Chee, and 1 for April Matson.

I See You (II) (2019)

Loved the story

[8/10 · 21 May 2020]

I watch a ton of horror/thriller movies and this was a unique one, at least to me. I wish they would have chosen someone besides Helen Hunt as the mother. I can't tell if she's a poor actor, or if her character is supposed to be so weird.

The Booth at the End (2011–2012)

What?

[10/10 · 9 May 2020]

So there is an 8.4 rating and the show was cancelled? Okkkk.

The Roommate (I) (2011)

Sing a song!

[3/10 · 8 May 2020]

This was just released on Netflix. I like to have a brainless movie on when I'm cleaning the house. By the end of the movie I couldn't stand any of the characters, the actors (with the exception of Cuddles the kitten), the writer, the producer, the director, etc.

Someone needs to write a song about cringing. That way, instead of writing a review we could sing the song.

Thaw of the Dead (2017)

Living in Michigan

[5/10 · 5 April 2020]

I wanted to love this movie because I live in Norther Michigan (aka Upper Lower Michigan, not the Upper Peninsula). However, I didn't like it at all. So much filler. There are six minutes of credits before the movie even starts. The drawing of straws takes over three minutes. I fast forwarded through most of the movie. As another reviewer said, there is no continuity. Sorry guys and gals.

Compulsion (2016)

50 shades of eyes wide shut

[3/10 · 28 March 2020]

Yuck. Just Yuck. I didn't care about any of the characters. The storyline was not good. It wasn't sexy. Yuck.

Love Is Blind (2020– )

Unbelievingly cringy!

[5/10 · 16 February 2020]

What the heck is this? After five frivolous conversations they are in love? I guess if you throw several attractive, emotionally immature people together, someone's bound to "fall in love". The girls have no indoor voice, only over-the-top staged, loud conversations. The word "like" is used twice in every sentence, sometimes more. All of the guys cry. It's the first time any of them have ever felt *fill in emotion here*. I think I vomited at one point.

So why five stars? Because it's a train wreck and I can't stop watching. My bet is there will be a second season. Ugh.

Something (2018)

Read adris_085 review lol

[4/10 · 18 November 2019]

Ridiculous characters, dialog, and so on. I am confounded how some movies make it to the screen.

Frontera Verde (2019)

Be one with the jungle

[4/10 · 29 August 2019]

The jungle is alive...the trees are green...there is water in the jungle...the jungle will protect us...oops, the jungle doesn't protect us...grow and get old or be eternal...be who you are...be one with the jungle. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Apparently aboriginal tribesmen like to stare, emotionless, for most of their days.If the staring scenes were eliminated, this could easily have been a three episode series. Past and present are constantly flipped back and forth. This was painfully boring for me to watch. I felt no connection with any of the characters and didn't care who lived or died. There was a lot of metaphysical in the story, but again, I didn't care.

Looks like I'm in the minority on this one.

The Gracefield Incident (2017)

I don't understand

[6/10 · 29 October 2017]

To start, I'm not an educated film critic. I watch movies for entertainment value, mostly. I watched The Gracefield Incident to be entertained and I was.

When others say this is the worst movie/acting/soundtrack ever, I don't think they've seen: All Hallows Eve: October 30th, The Yearly Harvest, Chameleon Shadow, or, 666: The Beast, just to name a few. Watch those and The Gracefield Incident will move to a 10 star film.
