Imawa no Kuni no Arisu (2020)
Only for teens who haven't seen a lot of movies
So I got suckered in by the good rating. Read the reviews and you'll see there's a lot of people giving it 10 after watching 1 episode and saying proudly that they are doing that. Why do these dopes exist?
The 1st 2 episodes are good then it just goes down hill.
As it states it's a Netflix Original, so of course there's now an obligatory Trans person that also of course has to be a hero. I can guarantee you that's not in the original Anime.
But overall it's just boring.
Made up unimportant drama after the 1st 2 episodes give you 6 episodes of boring filler.
Don't waste your time.
Trevor Noah: Son of Patricia (2018)
More Netflix Garbage
Well here we are again, The Netflix "Everyone gets a special" format has produced another stinker.
Don lemon..... sorry I mean Trevor noah tries once again to be funny and fails.
Stick to telling jokes to an empty studio with a laughtrack.
Paradise PD (2018)
Way Funnier than Rick & Morty
Oh the neckbeards and losers will hate the title of my review but its true. I wasnt expecting this show to be any good, some people are talking abut brickleberry which Ive never heard about but I really really enjoyed this show.
Theres a gap in the market out there now that the creators of R & M have been exposed for their love of underage minors and shows like Archer have become tediously boring so Paradise PD fills it.
Watch it and you will love it.
Show Dogs (2018)
Fun KIDS Movie....... For KIDS!
So as my headline says this movie is for kids, did the clueless low raters think they were watching Schindlers list when they saw this? Or most likely the vast majority of them havent seen it and are just giving it a low rating anyway.
Look this isnt going to be the best movie you will ever see but it is fun. Even as a 36 year old male I got a laugh from it. I saw this movie as part of a charity screening and I had alot of fun watching it.
And to all those that are giving this a low rating because this childs movie does not live up to their supposed intellectual prowess..... You people really are to be pitied.
Bushwick (2017)
Good Movie, Politics are clouding peoples view
Firstly I am a die-hard Trump (God Emperor) supporter. And yes I can see why some on my side are complaining. And I am also disgusted that when I google this movie pathetic left wing blogs prattle on about how this movie takes "punch a nazi to a new level".
I saw the movie as a low budget invasion movie that was actually pretty watchable and decent. Just f--king leave it at that guys and watch the movie.
El Chapo (2017)
Don't waste your time, Another Netflix Failure.
This series is a clear cash in on Narco's. I wanted to give it a chance and watched up until the 3rd episode but I could see how the whole series was going to play out as the story telling is beyond amateurish.
There is dialogue along the likes of "father said you could never become a drug boss" so little el chapo has to go and show his dead father what a go getter underdog he truly is , which shows how silly the direction was.
Also using cheap CGI for the gunshots show you it really is amateur hour with this production.
You, Me and the Apocalypse (2015)
I really wouldn't bother
We are only one episode in so far and if the quality of the show changes I will happily change my review. But this show is bad! There are only a couple of reviews but the show is certainly not worthy of the glowing reviews that these people are heaping upon it.
Aspects of the show are implausible, Police shouting at the main protagonist "Your DNA was found on a glass in Russia" This is meant to imply that the character is in big trouble even though he has done nothing wrong. If you have done nothing wrong and someone shouts at you that you DNA was found on a glass why would you all of a sudden start to panic?
They never even said in relation to what the glass was meant to be doing , was it at a murder scene, any type of crime scene or was it just on vacation. The police never said what type of crime was committed in Russia just that a man that looked like the protagonist was there. We watch as he has a useless lawyer sitting beside him fumbling about. Its incredulous.
Next is the cheapness of the show. I know the US scenes were filmed in the UK but do the US accents have to be so bad? A female prisoner has stamped on her orange jump suit ,DEATH ROW INMATE,It just looks like a bad halloween costume. The graphics appearing on screen when the hacker group were operating at the prison were child like but they weren't intended to be childlike by the show.
The shows characters aren't even 2 dimensional , they are 1 dimension if that, the stoner friend/roommate or whatever his deal is....... Is that meant to be the comic relief? Its a bad show, Rob Lowe is OK in it but thats all.
He Who Dares (2014)
The worst "movie" I've ever seen.
I served in the Army, so to see the people who are the height of military achievement being portrayed by the walking jizz rags on screen is insulting , and so are the fake reviews on here, that are shockingly obvious you wonder why they bothered at all.
I done 25 minutes of this abomination.... I couldn't take any more it was that bad. Terrible CGI and obvious Airsoft-Guns..... Obvious because you never see anyone get shot, the "actors" move their shoulders up and down whilst the camera zooms to a face or pans back to something else. You'll see constant bad effects with the camera zooming in and out for no reason coupled with constant bad music which I can only assume the director thought was cutting edge cinematography. If only he at least read a book... Just one book before diving in and clearly not knowing a single thing.
Back to the walking jizz rags..... at the start we have the A.S.S..... Sorry the S.A.S having a Christmas eve dinner..... The guys have clearly never had any military contact in any way as they look like wannabe foot ball players, and the wives.... Wannabe footballers WAGS.
The bad guys are exactly that.... BAD!
Not knowing how to act, the lead bad guy actor plays like something out of Inspector gadget.... Hes more of a cartoon than anything else. The dialogue is atrocious. Don't waste your time.... not even to see how bad it is, its not worth it.
Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa (2013)
Cash Back!
Every die hard Partridge fan will love Alpha Papa. Although as usual the adverts/trailers did show a lot of the funny moments so as they were coming on screen you find yourself thinking & leading in to it.
Partridge has always been brilliant with the one liners and to show so many of them during the trailers was pretty bad form.
Saying that though, it was still great. Great to see Lynn & Micheal again, although there was not much of Micheal in the movie his scenes were still pretty funny.
I went to see it on its first day out in Ireland and so far there's no reviews of the title on IMDb, so im wondering where the low score has come from.
It currently stands at 7.2..... and the visual diarrhea of "This is the End" stands at 7.8... So clearly there is something wrong with the system if any Alan Partridge product rates lower than something written By Seth rogen.
But then again.... that will always be the problem with Alan. It is and he is too intelligent for the masses.
Steve Coogan and Colm Meany played their roles very well, and all in all it was a delight to watch.
Text-book! Back of the net.
Treehouse Masters (2013)
Boring and scripted "excitement"
I am giving this a 3 purely because of the craftsmanship of the treehouses, they are very good and you cant take that away from the guy.... But we don't need yet another American TV show prattling on about the back storys of non important people.
The backstory nonsense isn't as bad as say American Idol or the x factor, but its on par with American guns on Discovery.
Why try to give us stupid drama? Just show the product!!!!
And yeah OK, i get that people have passion about their desired industry but the main guy is just way too cornball to be taken seriously.
I would avoid the show and browse the internet instead if you want to get your fix for treehouses.
Oblivion (2013)
A good watchable movie
I saw this today on its first day of release If your a big movie buff, you will see some patterns and will easily be able to predict the ending.... But its still worth it. There are so many movies today that are like others,its part of living in the time that we do. Just because you have seen something before does not make you super intelligent and allow you to have a self righteous smugness.
Tom Cruise does a good job this time around, he really does, the last thing i saw him in was Jack Reacher and i hated that and i hate most of the movies he makes as i usually see the same wooden performance over and over again,so believe me i am not a Tom Cruise fan-boy by any means. But credit where credit is due, he did a good job. He played an emotional part at the ending and it was quite good.
Olga Kurylenko didn't do much , she was okay, and Morgan Freeman was the same as he always is. Overall the movie could of done with being about 20 minutes shorter so id give it an 8 out of 10 for that but apart from that small complaint Im very happy with my viewing and I happily would watch again.
Red Dawn (2012)
Another studio con job...... save your money and your intelligence do not watch
Awful movie and it shows you everything thats wrong with Hollywood productions today..... Oversimplified crap for dumbass American teenage audiences . On a comment i saw a while back before the movie came out some one described this movie as World War 90210..... and its spot on, the all American dreamboat riding to the rescue of civilisation. The movie is full of moronic instances, too many to list really, the cast are all atrocious of course, ill just say if your going to watch this visual diarrhoea please watch it online for free and don't waste your money. And clearly we see that there are plants on this review site, people claiming this film to be excellent who only have one review. The studios are conning you.
Hit & Miss (2012)
Bad
It was unfortunate that this show failed so badly because it is a good concept.... but anybody can have a good idea, its the execution that counts and the makers of this show just couldn't pull it off. Its also a pity here on IMDb that the reviewers saying it is a good show are connected to the gay/trans gender community....
Just because the character is a transsexual is making this a good show in their eyes.
And then the characters themselves are so unlikeable (as a previous reviewer said) that i constantly wanted to hit the screen. It was also like Chloe Sevigny spoke every single one of her lines in a sulky spoiled child tone, what was the point in this?
I stuck through it and watched all six episodes..... this show really doesn't deserve a 2nd season, and don't fall for the rating.... Its biased!!!
Iron Sky (2012)
So damn Boring
I really looked forward to seeing this movie for a long time.... and it was all because the trailer made it look so good, but as i read somewhere else they had an outside production company make that, because the trailer was so much better than the film.
As i was waiting in the weeks before this film came out i researched the directors other work and of course that was StarWreck, a parody of Star Trek(of which i love) . All of the Finish fan-boys bumped up its ratings and i thought i would get a good taster before i got to see Iron Sky....
Well no StarWreck was terrible, so boring ,and all over the place, and lacking jokes but trying to make jokes where there was none.... Calling the famous star trek fire-arm the "Phaser" a "Tinkler"... This is meant to be funny?
Well yet again we have the directors same unfunny style come through in Iron Sky.... And again it was all over the place... Nazis come down in a scout party from the moon... They help the Americans with their election campaign by using Nazi propaganda techniques.... Then want to go to war with the Americans!
Why bother with the election crap? And why bother with so much else of the plots that go no where as well.... And also the American presidents PR woman, Why try to make a hero out of a character that was a whore? In what world real or not would a PR press person all of a sudden become a general?
In some one elses hands this could of been so much better. If it wasn't for teenagers and Finns the rating would be below 5 where it belongs.
AVOID, AVOID, AVOID, AVOID, AVOID.
Gold Rush (2010)
Please Wilderness..... Swallow them Up
A bunch of incompetent Yahoos go out digging in the woods. Its really as simple as that. Aload of twerps get some money together, decide to go to alaska and try to mine Gold..... Very Unsuccessfully. If there was a competition between The sea shepherd crew of WHALE WARS and the Hoffman crew on GOLD RUSH over which bunch of morons were the most incompetent ,the Hoffmans would win by miles. It was cringe worthy to watch, especially the patriarch of the group , the father.... There's a Certified asshole if ever there was one.
We all know there's bears in alaska don't we, so if we were setting up camp we'd take a gun or two for protection.... But 47! What are they thinking??? Complete and utter Yahoos..... And why the hell did they bring their kids up there.... Watch it... Even just one episode, it will make you happy to know that even on your worst day you will be more intelligent than any of these guys on their best day.
Real Steel (2011)
Adults stay away......Only for very young kids
I was half way through this but i had to turn this movie off when the boy starts dancing with the robot...... That says it all doesn't it really, i should of known better when i saw the name spielberg (produced it) as all his stuff is the same sappy formula over and over, but i wanted to give it a chance...... Afterall its fighting robots, It should be good right??? Well no its not the characters are stupid, especially the little boy... he speaks Japanese he programmes robots he dances with aforementioned robots and he can negotiates fight prices .......... Like cumon!!!!!!!!!
Even just small annoyances like are we really meant to off taken such a technological jump in such a short period of time..... Everything about this film is predictable and terrible, please don't buy it, Hollywood and especially Spielberg need to be thought a lesson
The Thirteenth Floor (1999)
A Must Watch
Other reviewers will explain this movie, but i just wanted to say that it was a pleasant surprise to watch, it was a book that referenced this film that brought me here, otherwise i perhaps would of passed it by because i never heard of it, its a shame that it is so Underrated but it really is a great film. The acting was quite good as well and it was interesting to note Vincent D'Onofrios performance as another pleasant surprise, this is the actor that played private pile in Full Metal Jacket, i had never seen him in another role after that movie and so it was good to see him and his fine acting again. Not forgetting Craig Bierko the lead actor was also very good.
Do watch this, you will be happy with the result.
Hanna (2011)
Awful awful movie
I am a huge fan of action movies, and all that i can say about Hanna is that it is a complete load of crap, and that is me being generous. Saoirse ronan is completely useless as the lead character and Cate blanchett is a ridiculous cartoon. What i think must of happened is that the producers and the writer must of gotten the idea that because of the very warm reaction to HIT-GIRL in the movie KICK-ASS, that they thought lets go ahead and make a movie about this ,but it just doesn't work out in this case because who ever made the film, is not very good at their job.
As for the good reviews on here for this film, they really do make me wonder about humanity, as in how can you put such rubbish in front of people and still make them lap it up??
Anyone who gave this a good review is a mindless automaton who does not know a real movie when they see it, they need to go and become a proper connoisseur of all types of movies and then think properly about the nonsense that is Hanna.
The Guard (2011)
the Americans need to stop whinging about this because every film in the world thats made isn't just for them
This was an absolutely brilliant film..... and its sad that the American audience who have watched this and posted negative reviews don't seem to grasp the fact that not everything that is made in the world is NOT made to suit their tastes..... Not everything is BANG BANG followed by a Happy Ending. Its also sad that the majority of the posters that come on to this site and other sites and review such terrible movies and because of their own limited intake of movies that they have watched, they then therefore will give the terrible movie a great review..... a case in point being Hanna.
The 20 something year old Americans who are so tech savy and so quick to write a review need to go out and watch some more movies
