Hijack (2023)
Could've been half as long to be less boring
This show was far longer than it needed to be. It's as if the producers were told to make a number of episodes before they knew what to fill those episodes with!
There were way too many episodes that left you with the feeling "what actually happened in this one?". Looking back, I could've saved plenty of wasted, lost hours by only watching the first couple of episodes and then jumped to the last one.
No actors in the world could save the dreadfully slow pace of Hijack. I just started watching Apple TV+, and I hope this pace isn't a hint that this is what ATV+ is all about - shows being stretched out with no real content just to have longer series to fill the streaming service with. Time will tell.
Hijack really wasn't a well paced show to start my (brief? Without any Apple devices, I can't even set up family sharing, so I have a feeling that this service isn't something I'll stick with for long) Apple TV+ experience with.
Muscles & Mayhem: An Unauthorized Story of American Gladiators: A Global Phenomenon (2023)
Too bad that they had to encounter contestants like Elmer Fudd
Too bad that the American Gladiators had to encounter contestants like Elmer Fudd, or whatever his name was. I guess some people are just born losers and have to cheat to succeed. I hope that his kids realized what a joke he was with his attitude before they started behaving like their dad. Such an embarrassment for anybody who knew and/or know the guy. It's not like he seemed to regret any of it. There's no good enough excuse for that kind of behavior.
It got worse when it turned out that he had the nerve to whine about it when he STILL didn't win! Pathetic. Those kind of people don't deserve the attention that they get, and this is the only part of this series about the American Gladiators that I'm not happy with. The producers definitely should've skipped adding him and his bad attitude towards the entire show.
Street Outlaws (2013)
A bunch of scripted, "illegal", and BS talking street racers
This is too scripted to be enjoyable. The actual races aren't illegal, and the police and their supposed "street racing task force" rarely do anything but warn the racers, regardless of how obvious it is that the test runs on the open public roads are actually illegal (unless those are performed on closed roads too?).
I'd love to know if any of these racers ever pay taxes on their winnings. Maybe the money is considered salary for the show and is regulated by the producers?
All in all, the concept gets repetitive and old pretty fast. I don't know how this show lasted as long as it did. I'm even more surprised that this show had - several! - spin-off shows!
Million Dollar Wheels (2022)
Enjoying the cars but some people annoy you beyond belief
I really enjoy seeing some of the cars on this show, but it's so sad to see what money does to people. I don't understand why one of the producers - also a main dealer on the show - is the worst person among them all!
Could it be that he is so blinded by money that he doesn't realize what a bad picture he paints of himself? Are we supposed to worship the man because he has no scruples? A car salesman is still a car salesman - and that's no compliment.
I reckon it's possible that money has completely skewed the way he sees the world. I can't stand narcissistic people that only care about themselves and have no heart.
Natural Selection (2016)
Low-budget feel brings up important topics
While this movie definitely has a low-budget feel to it based on story, character depth, and music, it still manages to send an important message to the viewers.
We need more movies that bring up the end-scene topic - which is predictable - but it needs to be done with better scripts, casting, and musical score to reach people other than the Hallmark "after dark" and similar audiences.
In total, not bad for what it is. Nice to see a movie with an actual ending for once!
Her Minor Thing (2005)
Not even Estella Warren could save this movie
I don't know what I was thinking when I decided to watch this movie. Perhaps, that Estella Warren would do a good job, and perhaps this would be a good flick to watch. Wow - was I wrong or what!
NOTHING in this movie is worth watching. The camera work is sub standard even for a low budget movie (which I assume this is). The script is VERY weak, and seems to be based on some teenager's fear of intimacy. The acting is weak and completely free from any kind of credibility. The directing...well, I'm not sure if anyone actually directed this film. It's as if every scene only got one take, and they used what they got from it - which most often is garbage.
Avoid this movie if you can.
