Outlast (2023– )

Disturbing how evil some women behave.

[3/10 · 11 March 2023]

One felon and one Private Investigator immediately fall to criminal behavior, tribalism, and the how quickly they turn to theft and destruction. Of course if this was the real world and a true survival mentality was being practiced, the man and woman they attacked would have killed them as they were a threat to their lives.

You know if it came down to the felon and the investigator, they would kill each other without a second thought.

Not going to choose a side but topically, and in spite of his micromanagement, the person I'd want to be aligned with would have been Javier. The guy who bailed on his team an sought out Charlie is also a turd with his deceptive alliance with the private investigator.

I'm not all in because this is reality TV, which means reality is the first victim of any show, and it becomes fake drama, and agenda driven to manipulate viewers perspectives.

The Munsters (2022)

The worst campy or other remake I've ever had the displeasure of experiencing.

[3/10 · 6 October 2022]

I give it a 3 star for some of the sets, the color, and costumes. The writing, direction, and acting were horrible. I generally like Rob Zombie, and I know he's a crazy hard worker, always staying busy. This was an opportunity in so many ways. Had Mr Cummings elected to actually make a scary version of the Munsters he would have been the man for the task. Had he been able to draw from a deeper tallet pool, they might have been able to lift the production quality. I chose to watch it because I heard Cassandra Peterson was in it, and it must have been a small or over costumed part, because I missed it. There is camp for humor, and there's camp for no reason other than excess. This proves that having success in general will not always translate into quality. It also seems Mrs Moon Zombie should stick with dancing, and that tallent is not granted by marriage. The actors Dr Wolfgang and Herman Munster were equally horrible.

Jarhead: Law of Return (2019 Video)

I served from 78-83 but will rate this as a movie, save one point.

All in all not horrible as a movie, but the TA should have been hanged at the premiere. General Master Gunnery Sargeant? Who makes this mistake other than possibly Brian Dennehy?

As a peace time vet I am the last person to speak of the rigger and realities of war, but I'm friends with several who have served in action. Sitting and watching shows with some of those vets and observing the constant wincing, or their statements of how off the mark most of the movies are tells you all you need to know.

I'm also not so sure how the IDF and Mossad would react to a standing Marine detachment operating in country.

If you can take it for its action components and general cinematography alone, it's an average, or slightly better than average, modern day shoot 'em up.
