Reacher: Reacher Said Nothing (2022) Season 1, Episode 7

Wasn't gonna write a review...

[2/10 · 3 January 2024]

But apparently I paused it to quickly to rate it a 3, because then I un-paused and heard him say "Got to go, Neagley." WHY WOULD HE EVER SAY HE NAME IN FRONT OF THE BAD GUYS!!!????!!?!???!!!??

This episode was bad when it starts with no wounds to see after his fight on the fire escape in NY. Then the laughable fight with the Kliner runt, to which no damage is seen after getting HIT IN THE HEAD WITH A TIRE IRON! (Which he never should have been in the first place. I mean... c'mon.) Then it finally comes out that Picard is in on it too, and the ONLY OTHER IMPORTANT PERSON TO REACHER is the one who finds out... and he SAYS HER NAME IN FRONT OF THEM!?

C'mon man. Miss me with this episode. Thumbs down and the rating went from a 3 to this 2. Shame.

Oh, and btw... what mother calls her son by their last name!? Seriously, foreign mom calls Joe "Joe" but Jack "Reacher"... SERIOUSLY?????? Do better.

The Sopranos: Mr. & Mrs. John Sacrimoni Request (2006) Season 6, Episode 5

How do people rate this so high!?

[3/10 · 11 December 2023]

Horrible episode, maybe the worst one... so far, have a few to go. This episode introduces multiple people we've never seen nor heard of before, and the episode revolves around these people, essentially. Just everything about this is bad and unrealistic, and just when I thought the last season was going to be the best, they throw this garbage in there.

Nothing happens that is important. Terribly written. Poorly acted. And Tony's mouth breathing situation is just unbearable.

AJ continues to bring nothing of substance to the show. And the amount of things that happen that just get swept under the rug and ignored, is beyond annoying.

Last thing, and not for nothing, but the last scene with the "fight" is just absurd, unrealistic, and out of left field. Such an overrated show.

The Sopranos: Mergers and Acquisitions (2002) Season 4, Episode 8

Worst episode yet!

[3/10 · 2 November 2023]

So this is my first time watching this, and I commented back in season 3 on an episode... well now I'm almost going to give up.

Every episode is a different random issue that seems so unimportant for what the show is supposed to be about (or so I thought).

No Meadow in this episode, the son is still an amazing dunce, how he has that gf from another episode is beyond me. Haven't heard about her since that one episode either, because that's all this show has been. They introduce characters for 1, maybe 2 to 3 sometimes, then they just disappear slowly... or fast if they die.

Either way, this episode was garbage. I don't understand the attraction to Tony by these gorgeous women. I don't care about Ralph's sexual habits, and I sure as hell don't care about retirement home problems.

I don't understand the fascination with this show. Some insane curveball needs to be thrown for me to change my mind, because if the entire series is like this... it'll be a bad show in my eyes.

The Sopranos: University (2001) Season 3, Episode 6

Is any of this leading anywhere!?

[4/10 · 26 October 2023]

This is my first time watching The Sopranos, ever. I started from the beginning maybe 2 months ago, but have charged thru season 2 and as slow as season 1 was... I'm asking myself if something is ever going to really happen? These episodes jump around from random topic to random topic, nothing to really gain from them, and it doesn't feel like I'm watching anything that has to do with the mob.

This episode specifically is probly the worst so far. Yet again they introduce a new character only to have them die by the end of the episode. Where are the storylines, WHERE IS THIS GOING!? I swear, if I finish this series, and nothing really happens, I'm going to get in a lot if fights over this show!

Queen & Slim (2019)

Real issues portrayed very unrealistically.

[3/10 · 14 February 2023]

The entire thing is just off from the start. Spoiler alerts in here btw...

They never say their names of any kind till the end, so there's that. But her character is miserable, and immediately the film becomes ridiculous because of that. She's a lawyer and her first suggestion is to run, and he agrees, so now they're going to Cuba after this heinous first date??? Nah. Nobody of sanity on Earth would do that. Then every single scene the rest of the movie, after some random song for the soundtrack, was something that would never happen. We're gonna stop to ride a random horse? Go dancing? Etc etc. Sex scene was ridiculous with the backdrop of the kid deciding to shoot a cop in the face...I mean, C'mon. For such a serious movie about REAL issues, you can't have the entire movie be completely unrealistic. Actors were great, but the film was overwhelmingly underwhelming.

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Repression (2001) Season 3, Episode 1

Was this the real pilot?

[1/10 · 23 December 2022]

Somehow this is by FAR, THE, WORST, ACTED episode I've ever seen of SVU. I'm 18 minutes in and Finn says "look at the date", which says on the screen "10/08/01", but then Finn continued with "February thirteenth." How was this poor on to television? Someone edited this and said to themselves, "YUP! That's the one, the best it's gone get!"

Really horrible. And somehow I have 219 characters required left, so I'm going to say that this is too many characters. I hope this episode, called "Repression", never gets played on any type of TV anywhere, ever.

However, Don Cragen DOES play a very masculine patriarch.

House of Gucci (2021)

Immediate dislike...

[1/10 · 12 December 2022]

Because not even 5 minutes in and we're supposed to be in Milan, Italy in 1978, and everybody is speaking English with terrible Italian accents!? THEY WOULD BE SPEAKING ITALIAN, PEOPLE! Lol. C'mon. I understand it's not the only movie ever to do this, but at least the likes of Quentin Tarantino, for example, find actors who are multilingual. You HAVE to subtitle this movie. Might not have the same star power, but at least it'd be a RESPECTable film. Like i said, not even 5 minutes in and I've already lost mine, for this.

Starting with a 4, but will update as I go along before submitting...

11 minutes in and after their conversation, in English, and a little lip windshield buggery, they don't say goodbye, they say ciao. What are we doing? ... down to a 3...

18 minutes in and Adam Driver says "Grazie, Franco" to his driver. To which Franco responds, "Thank you, sir." ... down to a 2...

Alright, this'll do it for me! 36 minutes in and all I have to say is "Faith", and Jared's makeup. Down to a 1 and staying there.

The Watcher: Occam's Razor (2022) Season 1, Episode 5

Agreed, FINALLY!

[9/10 · 25 October 2022]

In all honesty, this could've been episode 3 if people just used their heads instead of being fish, jumping at the first shiny thing they see.

So we basically had 2 episodes worth of jumping to ridiculous conclusions, now we're gettin somewhere!

Must say, I have it a 9 becuz it's the best episode yet, and I rated one an 8, lol. But the last scene is silly. You could 100% hear them if you're the "bad guy", and the flashlight didn't even shine straight, they pointed out at the walls. Like, wtf, seriously? Hahaha... yelling who are you, C'mon man.

This has the potential to be great. Acting is pretty good, they have some big names we recognize... just needs better, more realistic, writing. I'm curious to read up what the real story is.

The Watcher: Someone to Watch Over Me (2022) Season 1, Episode 4

I SHOULD rate it less, but I'm still so intrigued.

[4/10 · 25 October 2022]

At this point, episode 4, the show should be called Jump to the Worst Possible Implausible Conclusions, becuz that's what this show has turned into.

However! I can actually appreciate its, what I can only guess is a coincidence, portrayal of what I believe way too many people are like now in America... easy to believe a worst case scenario. Everybody wants to be insulted or upset about something these days. Everybody is so sensitive that they almost purposely take things the wrong way, just to be dramatic or have their lives be something worth complaining to everyone about. It's a systemic problem due to this generations insistent need to live on social media. Point being, even the most ridiculous 20 year old drama queen could see that these people are being ridiculous.

SO I SAY, even tho all the reviews are accurate about the writing and how these people are all unrealistically insane in their own ways, EVERYBODY IN THIS GENERATION SHOULD WATCH THE WATCHER, PLEASE!!! So you can see how silly your generation is.

Updated my rating, -1 for NOT SCOURING THE HOUSE/BASEMENT TO FIND OUT HOW THESE CRAZY A**HOLES GET INTO YOUR HOUSE! HELLO!!!!

Another update! -1 ... WHY IS THERE NO CAMERA FACING YOUR MAILBOX!?!? HOLY SH..!

Blackout (VI) (2022)

7.5 minutes in... ... now 28 mins in...

[1/10 · 14 October 2022]

And idk if I'm gonna make it. Thought about turning it off when Nick Nolte's skeleton came on screen and tried to speak words... at least that's what I think it was trying to do.

Maybe I'll change my rating if I finish it, but this is as low as I'm going becuz it's still never gonna be as bad as The Animal was.

As for the movie itself, someone said something about 1 A-lister in the movie... who is that?? I think Josh Duhamel makes these terrible movies now just for personal entertainment. It's like the people who make the Sharknado's, they all knew all 11 of the movies were trash, but they did it anyway. That's the 2022 Josh Duhamel, everyone.

Update: This is a complete disaster of epic proportions, and all I need to say is, NO POLICE!?!?!? It's a hospital, right??? Machine guns shot, dead bodies everywhere, bare handed murder in the kitchen... holy moly.

Update #2: Changed rating from 2 to 1. Still have a half hour left and it's unbearable. If I was actually at the movies I would've walked out... so it's just as bad as The Animal. Lol.

Face/Off (1997)

Excuse me... WHAT!?

[2/10 · 17 November 2021]

I can't believe any part of this movie could possibly be nominated for an Oscar. This is an abortion of filmmaking. It's not the worst piece of crap I've ever seen, hence giving it a 2. But wow... just awful.

Friends: The One with the Candy Hearts (1995) Season 1, Episode 14

Funniest episode of season 1...

[10/10 · 13 October 2021]

...top 5 funniest of the series!!

At first, I was disappointed with season 1 becuz there were so many flopped jokes in most episodes. But this one, after rewatching again finally... HILARIOUS jokes throughout the entire thing! Rolls of quarters! Hahaha!!

Single White Female (1992)

Rated a 4 first...

[3/10 · 6 June 2021]

Then went back through the movie in my head and had to make it a 3. One of many movies/shows like it, except this was incredibly unrealistic. The b**w job scene and what follows it are unlike what would happen anywhere ever!!

Tiny World (2020– )

Not Authentic Whatsoever!!

[5/10 · 28 April 2021]

I'm not sure how people aren't seeing this or realizing this! Granted, they worked hard on getting all these shots, most are real, but they are doing 2 not real things...

1- These action shots during an event, and sometimes even the "event" itself, is manufactured to look like something it's not. They film these animals doing stuff like running or eating or chasing another animal... but what they do is take shots of one animal running, then edit in shots of the other animal running to make it look like it's chasing the other one. When in fact, they got a few seconds of 2 animals fighting, but then add in footage to make it look like it was a chase scene so there's some kind of "story". It's theatrical, but not authentic whatsoever.

2- They clearly CGI some of the footage!! Perfect example: S1 Ep1 they show a baby bird in some grass in a field, the mother has gone somewhere... then they show some kind of fox or something walking all creepy like it's stalking the baby bird. Then they show the "mother bird" alone squawking, and claim that it's protecting the baby from this animal. Then they show a different angle shot of a similar bird in grass with the fox behind, but the bird is CGI'd in, it's clearly fake as hell. But alas, the fox heard the mother bird and turns around... as if A- a fox is gonna turn away from food that's shown to be about 10 feet away because it HEARS a bird squawking, false. And B- a mother bird would've flown immediately to her baby's defense and pecked this animal until it ran away or she got ate too.

Sorry to be a hater, I know these people worked hard to get some of these shots... but don't claim it's 100% real from 10 years of footage when it's clearly not and can't be. Watch for yourself and decide. But all I'll say is, if it was THAT good and THAT real, with all these amazing cameras and drones etc, it wouldn't be free on AppleTV. It'd be on a cable network, like Planet Earth. Just sayin!!

My Blue Heaven (I) (1990)

Best Steve Martin movie ever!

[8/10 · 3 August 2020]

Look at the movie, from outside your body... it's fantastic!!

The King of Staten Island (2020)

Unwatchable... unfortunately.

[2/10 · 14 June 2020]

I get the direction in which this movie was trying to go, but it missed horribly. I'm not going to blame any of the actors, but someone is to blame for this swing and miss. Under funded, and a completely unrealistic story... tried twice to watch it and couldn't do it. Really bad.
