The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (2020)
Interesting
I admit that I fast forward through all of the many times people just repeat info but the experiments are done well and the info obtained is interesting.
I would like to know why they stopped wearing their watches.
I would also like to know if the reference to layering of conductive, semiconductive material has any bearing on the 5 horizontal lines/ trenches which were previously dug in the field and filled with a grey conductive soil wasn't a test which the previous owner orchestrated.
There was mention of no grey soil; however, the sludge from drilling under the ridge did appear to be rather grey in color and being full of highly conductive metals this would lead one to consider if that was what was put in the trenches.
Is It Cake? (2022)
Neat concept terrible execution
The host is way too affected and annoying and the rest of the cast follow suit. Very poor direction from the producer.
It's unfortunate because it really takes away from how incredibly talented the contestants are.
Reacher (2022)
Finally someone who actually fits Reacher
Those of us who have read the Reacher series have been waiting for someone who can actually fill the roll of this character.
Finally we have subtle instead of over the top acting.
All of the actors in the main character rolls did a great job.
We're looking forward to season 2.
The Blacklist (2013)
It used to be a fabulous show
What used to be a fabulous and intriguing show has gone into a downward spiral of Keens neurotic obsession and now become more like a really bad soap opera.
Hakan: Muhafiz (2018)
Interesting concept with good actors of you stick to original language
The story line is interesting and it's refreshing to have a different superhero style character in another country.
Amazing location for the series and great actors.
The series must be watched in its original language while you read the subtitles because the dubbed version is horrific. That's when the show becomes a rediculous farse as the characters sound either horrifically bored or extremely over the top in the melodramatic department.
Artemis Fowl (2020)
Not true to the original
I haven't been this disappointed with a book turned movie since they tried to force us to accept that Jack Reacher shrunk 12" in height and lost 100 lbs. This begs the question of, how far should one be allowed to change characters and deviate from plot lines while still being allowed to use the name of the book or character which the story is supposed to be derived from?
If you loved the books, just stick with them as this loose interpretation coupled with rollercoasteresque cinematography really is a travesty to the story line.
While a few of the actors are always outstanding because it's just their nature to be so, they alone couldn't save the film. Credit due to makeup, costuming and special affects artistry because they did a great job as well however you couldn't always appreciate the efforts with the camera spinning like it was placed upon a top.
I'm deliberately not including spoilers because people who don't know Artemis may enjoy this different story
Outlander (2014)
Fairly good show but...
The only horrific thing about this series is the way they butchered the opening song. What was once one of the most beautiful songs ever written with an ethereal lilt to the voice, has been turned into something which would serve better as a form of torture than anything else.
Must fast forward through so if there are any credits mentioned I've no idea what they are.
Rim of the World (2019)
There's a lot of inappropriate content
WOW what was potentially a good movie for kids is ruined by highly inappropriate content.
A few spoiler alerts:
We shouldn't be hearing kids this age talk about Alien genitalia in their mouth and songs about it getting hot and people taking their cloths off was shocking. The kids in the movie are way too young for this.
The Order (2019)
Bad Comedy
I'm astonished this is classified as a drama/horror. While there are a few really actors the rest remind me of bad community theatre because the characters aren't believable. Wolf clan while professing to be protectors are really just immature uneducated buffoons who can't be bothered to even learn and understand their history do they just come off as a bunch of angry kids who want to kill and fight and wave the "I'm doing it for a cause banner".
The twist on the way the secret society at the college is portrayed is different but not different enough to save the show.
NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service (2003)
Used to to fantastic
What started out as an amazing series for many years has declined over the past few and had unfortunately become something rather senile. Occasionally serious with a lot of something which appears to try to imitate humor but greatly lacks it and sadly the wit is gone
Hunter Killer (2018)
Love the actors Hated the sound
While we love a lot of the actors in this movie we couldn't watch it. The volume differences between voices and sound effects were far too dramatic. Cranked the volume to hear conversation, then excessively loud sound effects would kick in. Ears were ringing after 15 minutes. Makes us Dad because the actors are great!
Strike (2017)
Must watch
Excellent cast, dynamic story line, unique cinematography all combine for an outstanding series. The nonexistence of over the top completely impossible special effects is refreshing. It's intelligent and sophisticated in it's execution. There is no quick fix to each case, yet the writers don't drag the story along simply to fill time and episodes, instead time is utilized efficiently and very effectively creating a great deal of intrigue and suspense which will keep you up at night to watch an episode instead of going to bed. A definite must watch series.
