Horrible movie. Do not waste your time. What is it with Hollywood these days? All they come up with is soul sucking crap. If it had some actual plot or some decent dialogue it could have been intriguing. Instead they made a slasher film with lots of foul language. Low brow and dumb. How on earth did they convince such talented actors to play in this movie? Just killing off your characters in the most bloody and awful ways does not make it a good movie. Irritatingly stupid but at the same time cruel and heartless. Kind of the perfect example everything that's wrong with the world today. Nobody involved in this movie should be proud of themselves.

Irritating and slow
29 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This movie was annoying me before I was a half hour in. Typical dumb horror character who doesn't think and mysteriously can't escape the old feeble couple trapping him. Not to mention the old trope of making every country person afraid of technology and "newfangled " things like electricity and phones. And of course the new standard of killing a cat in every horror film. It's insultingly stupid and frustrating. The bit with the 6 inch nail is ridiculous. As if anybody could do that to themselves and if you were going to hobble someone, why go to that much work? I really think Hollywood has no idea how to make a sensible and yet scary movie anymore. Don't waste your time.

If you like a series about politics this is for you.
31 December 2022
I don't understand the glowing reviews. To me, this is the exact opposite of all the Star Wars movies. All boring politics, spy craft, and very little action. If you're looking for starfighters and battles, don't bother to look here. I was really hoping for more. If I wanted to watch a show about how horrible human beings can be to each other, I'm sure there are plenty of other alternatives. It seems Hollywood or maybe all of us have lost the bright spark of hope and magic that ran through the original movies. Just like all the new Star Trek series', it's all dark, gloomy, and sad. This is not Star Wars, certainly not what I fell in love with as a youngster.

Worth the time

I loved the first episode. A nice mix of racial tension and mystery. Kind of overdid it with the shape shifting gore. The Korean aspect seemed unnecessary, even though I was fascinated by that episode. I was gutted by the 1921 Tulsa Riot episode. That was powerful and tragic. After that build up though, the finale left me unsatisfied.
The Empty Man

Waste of time

What is it about modern film makers that they keep churning out such pointless crap? Great first act. Ok second act. Dumb, slow, agonizing and really annoying final act. It's not good when you want to fast forward to get over the baloney.
Let Him Go
(2020)
Slow and unsatisfying
15 August 2021
I liked parts of this movie. It's hard not to like any performance by Kevin Costner or Diane Lane. But parts were so slow it seemed to go nowhere and other parts were so irritating I fast forwarded past them. Over all I was glad I was watching at home for free. If I'd been in a theater and paid a lot of money to watch this, I'd have been mad.
Little Women
(2019)
Pale shadow of the novel.

Warning: Spoilers
As someone who adores the book, I am deeply disappointed in this film adaptation. It feels rushed and forced. The jumping back and forth doesn't help. The characters don't age and the sisters age differences are erased. Also adding a modern feminist ending to this classic is unnecessary and jarring. I guess Hollywood doesn't know how to make a decent movie anymore.
Not the same without Rachel
29 September 2018
This movie was a serious disappointment for me. Recasting Rachel's character was a gigantic mistake. The actor playing the son is also a poor choice. They should have picked someone younger. The clash between the father and son was nothing but annoying and distracting to the storyline. Sad all the way around.
Alien: Covenant
(2017)
Awful
18 August 2018
Seriously this was a horrible movie, although beautifully shot and visually impressive. To be fair, I've hated every Alien movie since Aliens. This was no exception. They've gone too far, too dark, too bleak. These movies are no longer a good thriller/action movie. Trying to be more than the originals, they've destroyed the appeal entirely.
