Hounds of War (2024)

2/10

Poor Rhona Mitra is in This Pathetic Waste of a Movie...

20 September 2024

Wow. Every cliche under the sun -- times 10 -- and multiple plot holes large enough to hold the Titanic. I thought Frank Grillo could act (what was that movie again?)...but after seeing this I may have been wrong. And Rhona Mitra -- sweet sexy Rhona Mitra -- she should fire her agent. Stunningly bad.

It's not even worth detailing the many specific shortfalls, cuz they're all terrible. If you watch this -- and I don;t recommend that you do -- keep your finger poised on the fast-forward button. You'll be scrubbing forward looking for a redeeming scene...but you won't find one. Not even one.

Thor -- but with a Profound Learning Disability and a 74 IQ...

2 September 2023

Started strong. First season decent. Second, tolerable. Third, tripe on a stick.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023)

Lazy, Boring, Derivative...A Real Waste of Potential

12 July 2023

Good thing I didn't pay real money to see this steaming pile of garbage -- cuz I would have been pissed!

Every single modern cliche was used up in this movie. It's lazy, full of plot holes, and just plain boring.

I wanted the main characters to die horribly, because they deserved it.

Watching reruns of Dukes of Hazzard is a better use of time -- and I hate Dukes of Hazzard!

Watch anything -- even Sharknado -- instead of this.

No Way Out (IV) (2022)

This Soils the Title of a Classic Movie...

7 April 2023

I know that titles are copyrightable, but did you have to steal the title of a classic, excellent movie and slap it onto this piece of garbage?

Really?

Prey (I) (2022)

6/10

Not Horrible, But Has Fundamental Failings...

5 August 2022

So, there's our heroine, a genetically "non-native, Asian-immigrant-from 15,000-years-ago," American actress, looking like she just stepped away from a YouTube shoot, eyebrows all shaped and plucked, lips probably overstuffed with something that didn't exist in the 1700s... Which ruins the movie's premise from the get-go.

Hollywood, which used to exploit so-called native Americans (hint: there are no native Americans, we all came from somewhere else), has apparently just changed tactics. I wonder why they didn't highlight her "Wilderness Salon" in the movie?

If you can ignore that, the movie is Not Horrible which, nowadays, is pretty high praise.

That said -- best Predator flick since the original.

Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)

2/10

Boring. Pathetic. Unworthy.

1 August 2022

Wow. The funny parts weren't. The serious parts were...but not in a good way. The acting, save for a few moments, was poor.

Completely unworthy of the characters, the story, and the series.

The Prey: Legend of Karnoctus (2022)

3/10

Expected it to be Crap -- and I Wasn't Disappointed!

11 July 2022

There's a thread of a workable premise here, but the overall execution is completely flawed. Terrible acting. Ridiculous monster.

It's like a crappy, low-budget mashup of Three Kings and Predator -- but on the former flick's catering budget.

Plus, we have seen everything here before, and done better.

And what, was Adrian Paul passing through town and decided to "star" in a 2-minute, completely throwaway part? If so, where was Bruce Willis?

Sadly, this is hot garbage.

Spitfire Over Berlin (2022)

1/10

Utter Tripe.

1 June 2022

The entire movie consists of headshots of pilots in phony aircraft. I've seen better CGI on Saturday morning cartoons -- from the '60s! And calling the acting wooden is an insult to actual wood... Everything about this stinker is phony.

The Northman (2022)

1/10

Unbelievably Horrible...

12 May 2022

Wow. I can't even describe how horrible and unwatchable this movie is. The acting was useless -- even though I liked many of the actors' previous works. The story is useless. Typical Norse / Icelandic Saga -- only much worse. I will never get back the precious time I wasted watching this. If I would have paid money to see it I'd be demanding a refund.

The Batman (2022)

3/10

Meh. Boring. Overly Long. Seen it all B4. A waste...

25 April 2022

Wow. This movie really blows. I could barely finish it, and when I did, I regretted wasting three hours of my life.

Patinson worst batman ever.

I could go on, but I can't muster the energy after surviving this waste of a movie.

Scattered. Boring AF. Way too long. Why?

12 January 2022

Who likes this crap? When did we forget how to make a movie with characters who mean something...or plots that make sense? This is TOTAL CRAP.

The French Dispatch (2021)

4/10

I couldn't find a way to enjoy this...

7 January 2022

Quirky at points, but scattered and "who cares?" for most of the movie. Liked the first vignette the most, but by the time I got to the third I pulled the plug. Twenty minutes of "quirk" could not sustain the entire movie.

If this is representative of Wes Anderson movies, no more for me, please.

The Matrix Resurrections (I) (2021)

2/10

Worse than I had feared...

23 December 2021

If you're looking for an epic movie that reprises the intense emotional feelings you had when watching the first Matrix movie -- this isn't it. It was confusing and laden with plot holes. It was lazy and surprisingly NOT CLEVER.

At a minimum, don't pay to see this in a theater with real money.

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021)

2/10

Confusing. Derivitive. Boring. Cardboard. Useless.

21 December 2021

Wow. The uselessness of this flick cannot be overstated. I couldn't follow a single story arc. All characters deserved to die. And who cares? You will never get these two hours back. Watch anything else -- even Hello Kitty if necessary.

Cry Macho (2021)

2/10

Contrived. Impossible. Unrealistic X10.

3 December 2021

Gotta luv Clint, but this movie shouldn't have been made -- at least not with Mr. Eastwood, who looked as though he'd never make it out the front door of the nearest nursing home if it were on fire...

The story is ridiculous on its face -- and plodding -- even for a Lifetime TV Movie (and just as schmaltzy).

If you want to see Clint, watch any Dirty Harry movie, or sit down to Million Dollar Baby, but give this a hard pass.

Pathetic. Boring. Incoherent. Juvenile. Total Waste

27 November 2021

Pathetic. Boring. Incoherent. Juvenile. Total Waste

If I had paid to see this, I'd be extremely upset.

Confusing. All of the characters could have died and -- who cares!

If you're older than 11, give this a wide pass.

La Brea (2021–2024)

Like Lost -- for People With Brain Injuries...

6 October 2021

Hey, let's carbon date a diamond ring! Ooops. Considering that diamonds are already WAY OLDER than anything that carbon dating could accommodate, well, that's typical of this lazy, underwhelming show.

As one poster said, this show makes Sharknado seem good.

Every character should have already died from stupidity.

I can't even watch on fast-forward, because when characters don't die I get frustrated. :)

Solid - Even Though I'd Watch Anything With These Lead Actors

30 August 2021

Expected crap and was pleasantly surprised by the result. Nice twist on the assassin genre, with good chemistry between Keaton, Q, and Jackson.

Most modern movies suck. This one doesn't.

The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf (2021)

4/10

Unsavory Animation. Crap Audio. Typical NF "Underperformance."

24 August 2021

Wow. As good as the Witcher TV series is -- this is horrible! I didn't like the animation style at all. 1970, anyone? And the voices were hard AF to understand -- and I'm good with accents, etc. The story is confusing AF.

Don't believe the hyped reviews. This is mostly a waste of time.

Tolerable -- Until the Sci-Fi Portion Kicked In...

16 August 2021

Warning: Spoilers

Interesting change of pace and scenery, but the protagonist makes the same lame mistakes that every protagonist seems to make nowadays, which destroys the movie and makes it seem contrived.

1. If someone is trying hard to kill you and you manage to disable them, ALWAYS kill them so they can't take another run at you.

2. If that unconscious someone has been trying to kill you with a handgun with a large silencer attached, DEFINITELY KILL HIM, as everyone knows you can't trust someone with that kind of hardware. :)

3. If you're an "average guy" who is going through an extraordinary experience, all of your moves must still be congruent with the fact that you're not a super hero or a flying squirrel. When said dude -- near the end and after doing dozens of reasonable things -- decides to jump off a 100-foot building only to land on a car roof, surviving nonetheless, I call BS!

Any credibility the movie had died there...

Out of Time (V) (2021)

Best Indie SciFi in a Long Time. Could Have Been Fantastic with More $$$

10 August 2021

As with most movies these days, regardless of budget, I was expecting crap. What I saw was rather decent and, as others have opined, could have been fantastic with a bigger budget, etc.

The SFX were cheesy, but that didn't take away from the story. The acting from the two leads was solid, as was the story overall. Go Coop and Lisa!

Somebody should hire the writer/director (and the two leads) for a new project and pay them commensurately. :)

Seriously!

Pathetic and Unfunny. Wait - Pathetically Unfunny!

6 August 2021

Wow. Just wow. There wasn't a single funny moment in this stinker. The Suicide Squad from a few years ago, also not super duper, is a masterpiece compared to this waste of time and money.

Wow. You have been warned.

Stupid People Making Stupid Decisions - With T&A

27 July 2021

This could have been great...but it wasn't.

Based solely on their decision-making ability, every cast member deserved to die several times over. You can only suspend your disbelief so far and so many times.

Hint: When the werewolf or the vampire is unconscious -- take their heads. No exceptions. If you don't you deserve to die.

Cosmic Sin (2021)

Cosmic Tripe

20 July 2021

My god, Bruce - WHY?

Empty. Hollow. Stoopid.

Five hundred years from now, when we have advanced space travel and other techno goodies, we still drive Ford F-150s with internal combustion engines? Or use gunpowder and lead handguns? Or drive ancient Harley Davidson two-wheeled tractors? I could go on, but I won't. The cosmic sin is that this ever got made.

Liam Good - Rest TRASH

29 June 2021

Ice Road Truckers Meets Fast and Furious 14.

Liam was good. The actor who portrayed Tantoo is good. Pembina, ND, was good. Story is crap in every way. We've seen every scene of this movie in other movies -- which were equally stupid -- but done better.

I don't want to list about 14 ridiculous spoilers here, but I could.

It's ANNOYING that NETFLIX is wasting my membership money on crap like this.
