Far More (2021)
Garbage
Poor acting, especially given the cast. There is no excuse. Truly unbelievable. Bad directing, editing, makeup, storyline. It could have mattered. It doesn't.
Dracula (2020)
Creative, Intelligent, Unexpected
Bec of the Graham Norton show I learned about the 2020 Dracula Series w actors I had never heard of. I started watching. The brilliance of the rethink, the unexpected evolution of the story, left me in awe. Now that's worth my time. I hope they got a ton of awards. So much coming out of Hollyweird is gratuitously violent/overly sexualized and unimaginative. Bravo!
Intrusion (2021)
Awful, Obvious, Insulting
Classic bad writing, casting, production. Weak, dumb wife: usual scaredy cat, leaves important papers/envelopes around, sneaks into hubby's office but gosh gets caught/leaves cell there, forgets 2 turn off location tracking, cannot figure out how to use baseball bat in a crisis, etc. Endless idiocy. Husband casting is pathetic. Those glasses r hilariously out of date, he's a child, it's obvious he's sick, he can't act, his dying scene is pathetic. Don't watch.
Clickbait (2021)
Guessing it's the bearded man from school
Still watching, am on episode 4. Bet the guy who gave the school eulogy was abusing girls and Nick tried to stop him. Then there's the kid who dev that app to find Pandas in tge wild. A bit too interested in everything. We shall see...
UPDATE: not done yet but...I think I am wrong. Dang.
UPDATE: OMG ha! Won't spoil it but, man. MAN O MAN. Who knew!
Wayward Pines (2015)
Sad that such a great idea has poor writing
Seems to me the second season suffers from writers unable to research. Growing food in a cave or basement or... with the right spectrum lights is not contemplated? Are kids writing? Duh! Oh and a female 'animal' arrives and the idiots in charge don't think 'queen bee/telepathy' ? That occurred to me three minutes in. Why not use history/sci-fi flicks to imagine a world growing plants. Geeze i grow ALL MY PLANTS 4 spring under lights. Dumb and dumber. Waste of great concept- minus the humans ruining earth. So political. USA lowered emissions more than SNY OTHER COUNTRY ...yo Dems China's the problem!
Good on Paper (2021)
In 5 Minutes I Wanted More
It is HILARIOUS. I avoid comedies because these days 90% are value signaling fraudsters. Not worth one second. This show is simply delicious. Give it a go.
The Ice Road (2021)
Decided not to watch after 10 minutes.
Picking on a vet-wouldn't happen, the Doc handing out pills to said kid, unlikely, waste of good talent. Why continue. If a Movie doesn't reach me in 15, I move on.
The Farewell (2019)
Slow to get it, worth it
As an American who has lived in other countries, it takes time to understand different cultures...ways of expression. I find most Americans utterly clueless and totally blind/self-centeted culturally. I battled a wee bit w this flick too bec, I am melting into Americanism. W respect.
The Chinese approach everything differently. I am hugely anti their horrid, ego-maniacal, sick power hungry 'leader'. But they also had the truly sick Mao too. So, putting all that aside, I found the movie touching, insightful and very worthwhile.
Valley of the Kings: The Lost Tombs (2021)
Extraordinary
I had plans today. Thought I wld watch a bit of the show while eating breakfast. My long held fascination with Egypt took over, as it must have for millions of others. Mesmerized, I simply couldn't stop watching. Brilliant in all respects.
I was in college with an Egyptian man, his stories about his country never left me. I hope and pray I can visit before I pass. Such history moves me. Watching the workers filled me with both a longing and Pride. To come from such a people. Extraordinary.
Bucket List. Visit.
