Touch Me in the Morning (1999)
Nope
This movie is a terrible mess. Trying to be dark and offensive and different, and it is different but that doesn't make it any good. In fact it's very boring, trying too hard, and frankly just not very well produced. The acting and writing are terrible in this one.
Kiss Me Deadly (1955)
Meeker, Decker and Stewart
Meeker, Decker and Stewart are all great in this classic film noir/mystery movie from the 1950's. It is one of the overrated film noirs in my opinion. I think Meeker in particular gives a great performance, once of Meeker's all time very best and possibly even the best. This is definitely worth watching if you don't mind old black and white films and especially if you're a fan of those old school mysteries with the film noir feel. Enjoy!
Squawk Box (1994)
Squawk Box!
Wooo! I love Squawk Box! I don't even know or remember why really I just remember pieces of it and remember that I really loved it.
History Bites (1998)
Great!
This show is great. Very funny but also fast paced and educational. Kids really enjoy it even. I wish they would bring this back and make more seasons.
HumanTown (2016)
Loved It!
I loved it. I thought it was very funny and I wish they had made more because I think this show really could have gone somewhere.
The Festival (2005)
Not Bad
Whoever wrote the review about how this show's not bad but just doesn't work on some levels has it exactly right. There's some fun pieces that just aren't fitting together properly. But it's still entertaining with some funny jokes. The idea of the show is a good one. I bet with more time it could have really been something cool.
The Tom Green Show (1999)
A Boring Idiot Performing for Bored Idiots
This entire show is just a zero talent idiot acting like a knob, and when it's not funny he just keeps doing it hoping that the viewers will eventually get uncomfortable enough to laugh but usually it does not work. If you think this is funny this might be the show for you though. "I have a bum bum I have a bum bum I have a bum bum bum bum bum bum bum buuuum BUM BUM BUUUUUUUM I HAVE A BUM BUM PLEASE LAUGH PLEASE LAUGH AT ME BECAUSE I AM SAYING BUM BUM BUM BUM BUM!" It's just a grown man saying stupid things to hear himself talk.
Second Jen (2016)
Not Very Good
Second Jen isn't the worst show I've ever seen but the title tells you a lot about the basic, unfunny dad joke style comedy you're going to be watching. It seems very amateur and just slapped together. Very bad writing and not much better acting.
Schitt$ Creek (2015)
Unbelievable (In a Bad Way)
I don't buy these positive reviews because I've never met anyone in real life who has seen this show and says they actually liked it. Also I've seen this show myself and it is just plain not funny or good in any other way either come to think of it. The character of the son is also the worst, least funny, most annoying person I've ever seen in a TV show (Eugene Levy's real son which is I'm guessing is the only way he got cast in this).
The Adventures of Bob & Doug McKenzie: Strange Brew (1983)
Hilarious
How is this only rated 6.8? This is one of the greatest comedies of all time..... OF ALL TIME!!
The Latest Buzz (2007)
OK but Boring
This show wasn't so bad but it was pretty boring. The kids Zoe, Justin, Demetrius, Vanessa and Munro were also a mixed bag as far as acting ability goes but that is par for the course for children's TV shows. I was surprised to see it lasted several seasons but even though it was boring with some low quality writing and acting it was still better than a lot of competitor TV shows for kids which tend to be really awful.
Dead Before Dawn 3D (2012)
I am Vote #3000!
Yeah you're right that's not very cool. Anyway I thought this movie had funny parts but mostly was pretty stupid overall. The effects need to be better but I'm sure they had no budget.
In Bruges (2008)
Quite Good!
I'm not at all a fan of Colin Ferrell. This is probably my favourite movie of his that he is in and I still think he's pretty good but not great. The script is different and pretty funny. It's actually quite interesting. What really brings this movie up though is the stellar performance of Brendan Gleeson, who is just awesome in this. I've seen it more than once and it still holds my interest mostly because of him.
By George (2012)
Funny Stuff
I give this a six out of ten which I think is fair. I thought it was funny and laughed a few times but the movie had some problems. As for what the other reviewer said about it being in a film making race and they had only one day that makes it understandable and it is good considering but I don't really factor that in because I judge what I'm seeing not what the crew had to go through to make it. The performances are good with the two neighbours (a man who thinks his neighbour is George Lucas working on a weird movie and then George Lucas as the other neighbour denying who he is) doing an excellent job at getting laughs. I would have liked to see more of the wife though, she wasn't in it very much at all. The other parts could be bigger too. Elton John in his garbage was very funny but really this movie just had the two guys talking to the camera. Good laughs sometimes yes but at the same time not too much interaction and more a series of jokes than a coherent story that fit together. A good effort though by all involved this is an entertaining and funny short movie!
Seed (2013)
Crap
Seed is the latest in a long line of crappy new Canadian TV comedy series. It is about a guy who ends up getting put in touch with or contacted by kids who he fathered without ever knowing them or their mothers, by being a sperm donor. It's on OK premise but nothing about this show works. The cast is the main problem, almost every cast member is terrible. The lead is unbelievable, unfunny, not even likable. Unlikeable can be really funny for a TV show character but in this case the guy is just so not funny it's infuriating. He can't deliver a joke right to save his life. Not that he has a lot to work with because the writing is also not there. The show just looks cheap and bad and the jokes are terrible and don't work. I don't know how a show like this gets made, how many people looked at this garbage and said "yes" in order for it to go through all the steps of production and actually put on the air? I still have only met 6 people who have even seen this show at all and all of them hated it as much as I do, so how is it still on the air? The IMDb page here even says "not yet released", that is how few people watch or care about this show. And I suspect the lone review here, a glowing rant, is actually written by a cast or crew member or one of their loved ones. This show stinks, stinks, stinks! Crap!
Gutter Ball Alley (2001)
Is 1 the lowest rating I can do?
It seems a shame that I have to give this show at least a rating of 1 out of 10 because honestly it deserves zero at the highest, probably more like a negative 10 or even worse. The host was the worst, he seemed genuinely like a despicable and unlikeable person, and the challenges they had the contestants do were really stupid but not even in a funny way. This show should have been funny with better challenges and a host that wasn't so hard to like. The contestants were generally super hard to watch or root for too. And all the comedy bits were terrible, I remember they had a horrifying looking fat creep dressed up like a baby squirting milk at contestants while shrieking. What a terrifying, unfunny, awful show!
