Road House (2024)
You just cannot remake a classic
There are some good parts to this remake, Jake Gyllenhaal gives a good performance and is just better than this. The music is pretty good also, but there's something just not right with the movie. Did they use AI for the fight scenes? Many almost look animated or how superhero movie fight scenes go. The writing for this movie is also just off, could they use the same story? Or did they need to make the changes so it looks so similar but different? Either way this will not be a classic and will probably be soon forgotten. Then they add in Connor McGregor who is not that well liked anyway and is just a bad character developed for the movie. Bad writing, limited acting and some terrible casting makes this a 6 at best but really a 4.
The Mosquito Coast (2021)
Is two Seasons Enough
I really enjoyed this rendition of The Mosquito Coast and it brought another level knowing the leading actor was related the nephew of the original writer of the book. If you have seen the movie with Harrison Ford, you will notice many differences and I would not compare them. This is a stand alone series and yes S1 was better than S2, but like many shows a 3rd season may have circled back around. With Apple cancelling this show after two seasons, yes it did end with a cliffhanger, but in reality it ended similar to the original book and movie. So in a way two seasons are not the worst thing that could happen. After the end of S2 I was not left wondering what happened. This is not The Glades where it just ended with so many questions. Enjoy the show and then check out other Apple shows as they seem to be getting some great content.
Quantum Leap (2022)
Solid 6 Start Possible to go either way
Was excited to see this new show and the possibilities of having Sam Beckett back in some sort of cross over show in the future is worth waiting for. The first episode paid enough respect to the original series vs. Straight up remake which would have been a crime. I thought it played out well with updated special effects and new twists. BUT a dude wearing lipstick in women's clothes? Give me a break. I know in the current administration we have a couple dudes wearing dresses running around but, you have to wonder if the writers needed to have a dude in lipstick or it was, let's see what we can put in. I believe this show will get more woke as it moves along and the solid 6 will be changed to 2...
Severance (2022)
Nothing like it on TV
If you can get past, it has some of the wokest hypothetics on the planet in the cast, the story is like nothing else on TV and the final episode is amazing. S2 already planned, roll on.
Doctor Who (2005)
Dr Who is dead
This show which I grew up watching in the early 70's and loved the 9, 10 and even most of the 11th and some of the 12th doctors is now unwatchable with such poor writing. Even Jodies Dr had so much potential but Chickyballs has destroyed the show and sounds lime it's lost with a whole history rewrite. Sad.
Wayward Pines (2015)
If you haven't watched this at least twice
Still one of the best shows to hit Fox and yet just a couple of seasons, with stellar cast and acting in both. Oh how I wish it had gone longer. If you have not watched it. Your missing out.
Night Sky (2022)
Syfy meets Drama meets Thriller
Amazon has not always come up with winners, but as first seasons go this is a home run, setting up so many avenues for a S2, I hope they get JK and Sissy back for S2 these Oscar winners are on game for their roles. Loved every minute and I'm sure I will have to watch it again before the next one. 8 episodes fly by... A+
Killing It (2022)
Fresh and Different
Craig Robinson is hilarious and really shines in this wacky comedy. Love it so far, belly laughs in several episodes. Season 1 is a hit and I would think it will be renewed. Cast of stars.
The Amber Ruffin Show (2020)
It's just not funny
There's not much more to say, the ratings can not be that great for this hot pile, have to wonder what's keeping it going. It's just poorly written and the jokes have no punchline... it's a shame because network late night sucks as well. The whole CD gag they keep playing on the promo is really bad... move on...
Law & Order (1990)
Jerry would be so disappointed
This remake, renewal whatever you want to call it is Liberal dishwater. I think 5 episodes was giving it a good run. But Jesus christ give me a break, every episode so disappointing.
Mayor Pete (2021)
Yes it is that Bad
When you realize how uneducated this dude really is, zero experience in anything and it clearly shows here. Whoever thought this would make this dude look good.
The Outlaws (2021)
Well worth a watch, fresh story
This was very enjoyable, took me just a couple days to finish. Very well cast although I'm still not sure how Christopher Walken ended up in a completely British show. Stephen Merchant is fantastic as usual and really all cast play their parts well. This is a solid 9. Could be a 10 but does bounce around a bit and gets long in parts.
American Siege (2021)
Is Bruce Willis bankrupt?
He has to be, making these piles of crap. This is one of the worse, acting is horrendous and directing just as bad. The director states the movie was shot in 8 days? Looks like it. What a load of crap. From the opening action when a women pulls up on a house jumps out of the vehicle, makes it up the house steps and is able to fight a dude who can not get his rifle on her. Two minutes later her co-conspirators say the dude looked military. Now I know our military is getting bad, but surely ex-military can shoot a gun before some Crack head runs up the drive and on to the porch. Give this a swerve. Bruce stop smoking the pipe....
Star Trek: Discovery (2017)
Enough Already
Although this started out well and got a little lost in S2. It is now just a hot mess of wokeness.. Seams they are going out of their way to build characters with zero likeability.
Wolf Like Me (2022)
Worth an Afternoon to Binge
With only 6 episodes this is can suck you in before you know it's over. A nice change from the usual crap being produced. Would have been nice to see more of Australia as it could have just as easily been filmed in Arizona.. Well worth a binge.
Eli Stone (2008)
Great Show, well worth a re-watch
Great show the first time around, and we'll worth a re-watch. Johnny Lee Miller is excellent, along with many of the other cast. Shame it went after just a season.. Give it a go.
How I Met Your Father (2022)
Just Not Funny
I mean who thought this was a good idea? Poor casting and a rehash of a great comedy. Turned off after 10 mins and 34 seconds. I kept wondering why the fake laughter track was added, it just was not funny.
Don't Look Up (2021)
Steaming Pile of Pooh
So much of this was worthless, from poor acting to, guest appearances not even needed in the movie. Just a total waste of 2 hours. But don't turn it off at the credits. The final scene is just as worthless. Although saving grace is Leo,
Reno 911!: The Hunt for QAnon (2021)
Reno911 Used to be Funny
This is not to say that there are no jokes here. There are some funny parts, but a lot is old and tired. I also don't understand a couple of the anti Cop jokes made by the cops. Anyway 3* at best.
Dexter: New Blood (2021)
Dexter is a 10 Harrisons got to go
As reboots go Dexter is a 10, the quality of filming seems to have improved and adding Clancy Brown this season is amazing. There are some issues, Harrison just gets in the way hopefully that will develop going in to Season 2. Surely there will be a season 2. I am back watching the original again for the 3rd time. Who could hate Dexter.
NCIS: Hawai'i (2021)
Skip
Ever wondered how many NCIC shows they could make before they made too many? Well we just found out. The fact that if you have ever called and NCIS phone number they really could careless, that's besides the point this is just bad. They saw an opening with Hawaii50 ending and that was bad after season 4 this is worse.... Half an episode and done....
Clarkson's Farm (2021)
Best of the 3
I have to say out of the 3 separate projects the Grand Tour guys did over the last year. This is the best. If only Hammond and May had been given little jobs around the farm.
I hope there will be another season.. absolute gem.
Without Remorse (2021)
Solid 7
Lead actor Michael B. Jordan does a solid job, like his movies so far. Not sure the guy playing the CIA super star is the right fit for the job and the Secrtary was pretty lame acting even though it's Guy Pearce. Still a solid 7.
Almost Paradise (2020)
Good start, deserves a S2
Although the start reminds me of The Glades which was an excellent show, this has potential with Christian Kane who I really liked in Leverage. I am hoping this gets a new network and second season as it's by far better than a lot of crap shown now
Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020)
Everything EuroVision is not
Gets a little long, but was hilarious in parts and as Nerflix goes a great Friday night movie. Will Farrell is fantastic with many others supporting.
