Suing the Devil (2011)
Unless you are a hard core bible thumper, this movie is terrible.
What a god awful movie. Most of the actors are worse than what you will find in a small towns community theater. Over the top, stilted, terrible acting that makes the whole thing (as stupid as the premise is)even worse.
I don't know how they got a couple of the actors in this film, McDowell for example... they must have thrown a lot of money at him, for this film is a steaming pile of garbage.
Premise- Man angry at mothers death sues the devil in court. Low and behold, Satan shows up to defend himself with a team of lawyers. Throw in a bunch of bible thumping "Jesus died for our sins" about 200 times, over acting by the entire cast...
Not worth the time to watch, again, unless you are an ultra Christian.
The Last Ship (2014)
Made for TV movie
Watching this first episode, to me it plaid out like a bad made for TV movie that would show on Syfy. The acting was subpar, the special effects were god awful.
The premise is that a US navy destroyer is at the arctic when a virus is released that infects the rest of the world. Scientists aboard the destroyer were attempting to find a "Pure" strain of the virus in the arctic at the onset of the virus. (This whole premise is pretty silly considering if everyone is infected, so would the destroyer as it loads up to embark on their voyage) While in the arctic... the scientists are out collecting samples while guarded (from what, polar bears?) by armed soldiers on snow mobiles. Then all of a sudden, HELICOPTERS! Thousands of miles away from the nearest airport, short ranged helicopters popping up out of nowhere to fire missiles and machine guns at the scientists and soldiers (not harming any of them). One was destroyed by a surface to air shoulder fired rocket (they must have been expecting polar bears to attack using aircraft. Those clever bears) while the other was shot down with machine guns.
Meanwhile, attack helicopters attack the destroyer! They launch several missiles that impact on the destroyer, doing zero damage (Not even a scratch!) while the destroyer uses it's Seawhiz and it's 5 inch gun (pretty accurate shot to hit a moving quick target like a helicopter with the main gun) to take them out.
The rest of the show is equally silly. No damage to the ship. Food and fuel running out... what do they do? They raid a cruise ship they find with everyone dead on board. I guess they must have giant hoses to suck out the fuel.
The rest of the episode is just as silly as the first part.
Would I watch another episode? No, there's so much more out there to waste my hour on.
Alaska Gold Diggers (2013)
Worthless, spoiled women pretending to mine
I enjoy the reality shows about gold mining, and there seems to be more and more popping up. This one however, is pathetic.
A 50 or 60 year old woman and her gaggle of spoiled, lazy daughters head to alaska to work the claim of her father. The girls act like they are going on a trip to the day spa, rather than heading out into the alaskan wild to do hard, back breaking work.
They talk down at their frustrated crew of hired gold miners. They bicker, squabble and throw temper tantrums ten times a show. They don't want to be there, don't want to put the actual effort to make gold, and are obviously in it for the reality show paycheck.
Most of the "action" shots seem staged. I hate it when they edit in sound effects like a dog barking when it isn't or the sound of heavily blowing wind and the grass isn't even moving... and it happens constantly.
98% of every episode seems to be each one of the women fighting with each other or the men they have mined. And it isn't legit fighting for a reason, but just whiny nattering.
I won't watch this show anymore, and wouldn't advise anyone else to watch it either. Gold Rush for its flaws is far superior, as is bering sea gold, ice cold gold and pretty much any other show on TV.
