Culprits (2023)
Decent Premise
Spoiler Alert
It's almost good. But just falls short.
I'm not sure how the seemingly octogenarian character who couldn't lift ten pounds is this elite assassin. Otherwise, fairly compelling characters and story, despite some obvious holes. I think with a little work it could be a quality show.
The logistical ridiculousness of always knowing where everyone is, is a bit of a challenge, but I don't think that's the overall problem. You have to be able to believe in the characters. It's like Queen Latifah as The Enforcer, no way this dude is intimidating anyone.
I'd like to see this story done properly.
American Badger (2021)
Ehhh
Smoking scenes are not contributive. They really seemed to think they were. Not much else going on other than absurd fight scenes. Let's just toss the gun for no reason.
It's was tedious to start and got super dull as it went on. I kept hoping for some sliver of hope. But, alas, there was no such payoff.
Direction was very amateur. I'd guess a film school wannabe or drop out. Just way overdone.
Another Life (2019)
Started off OK
Some gaps, but OK. But just got dumber and dumber each episode. Had to bail. It's a shame.
Back to You (2007)
Exceedingly poor television
Wow.
I was expecting maybe something decent. This is atrocious.
It's as if they picked out the very worst Frasier episodes and injected them with steroids.
Silly antics. Unintelligent humor. Totally antithetical to former works.
Can't see it lasting past Christmas.
Hope this isn't the end for Grammar.
I think the intelligent sitcom is truly dead. It's a shame.
Really disappointed in Levitan and Lloyd. They really mailed it in on this nonsense.
King Kong (2005)
Skull Island Must Be Where Bad Films Go to Die
Sound and fury signifying nothing.
That's the heart of this film. A whole lot goes on, but it's all rather nonsensical.
Every aspect of the story defies all ranges of logic and the characters have the emotional stability of hamsters.
If you're looking for a whole lot of bloody action without anything interesting going on, this could be your film. Then again, most screen-savers have about the same degree of entertainment.
The film looks promising for about 10 minutes then spirals out of control with intense disregard for the viewer.
It's essentially like watching a sequel to The Hulk.
Transporter 2 (2005)
Could Take Top Honors at the Razzies
Sure to be a Razzie Awards finalist for worst film of 1995 (http://www.razzies.com/default.asp).
Thoroughly implausible and completely devoid of any of the charm of The Transporter, which was a pretty good film.
Often sequels go over-the-top in an effort to provide something different or more than the original, but Transporter 2 takes it to cartoonish levels -- and not the good cartoons, either.
Ten minutes in you get the feeling it's going to be a long ride and it only gets worse as it goes on.
If you enjoy good action films and liked the original film, you'll want to rent this one and destroy it to save innocents from this horrible experience.
** Spoiler Alert **
If you watch this film, your evening will surely be spoiled.
Please let there be no Transporter 3.
The should accept the Razzie with pride. This film has earned it a thousand times over.
Titanic (1997)
Bloody Awful
OK, seriously, this film chews.
Bland
Boorish
Stale
Dull
Effortless
Skip it. See a decent film instead.
Just brutal.
And clearly the moment in time when Leo jumped the shark.
On the other hand . . .
the film could be used to torture prisoners of war.
Always a silver lining.
Hulk (2003)
You Won't Like Me When I'm Angry
Therefore you will not like me after watching this film.
Ang Lee's apparent goal for this project was not to make a dull, drawn-out, overwrought mess of a film, but to do so in a random nonsensical and quite frankly ridiculous fashion.
A cure for insomnia, for certain, Hulk, the movie, had as many distractions from the ill-fated story line as it had poor visuals. The first 35 minutes of the film go nowhere slowly, then the rest is just a painful combination of a bad story and worse computer-generated animation.
Slowly tapping a spike into your forehead will undoubtedly be a preferred way to spend an evening.
The inner beast was released -- and sadly made it onto film and DVD.
