Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous: The Last Stand (2022)
Spoiler-Mad sad adult
They didn't need to do that. These kids have fought every battle with ferocity. Possible odds, no problem.
However, in the last battle, when it counted, they stood there and watch the HORRID outcome?!
Simply no. I didn't need that on a Thursday morning. If I wanted frustrating loss I would just start my work day earlier.
Dexter: New Blood: Sins of the Father (2022)
Here we are again......
The season was pretty fun up to this point. We were not fans of all the actors, but they were better than we could do! Lol. The setting was fun, lots of people you wanted to see get Dextered.... and they did.... that was fun again.
Then this stupid finale. Dropping all the rules? Check Crime of passion out of character? Check Annoying character getting the best of Dexter? Check.....
Then... why the hockey stick does she tell the kid to run???? He is still a kid! He obviously needs help, even from her perspective. He would not have been in trouble for stopping someone in this situation. It was literally so stupid.
Why why why?
Zombacter: Center City Contagion (2020)
Apples to Apples
Knowing this was a low budget film, I went in with appropriate expectations. Is it a $50mill budget film? Nope...
That said, it was really fun to watch a movie after reading the book written by a somewhat local author.
The filming was on par with movies well beyond the budget here. The backstory was also fun to have right up front! I seriously hate wondering what supposedly happened to cause the outbreak in movies and shows... Looking at you TWD....
There was plenty of cool makeup up effects that were also on par with much higher budget films.
I may be biased as the film was a local production. But I loved it. Having passion projects being made outside of the big studios is really cool.
If you go into it knowing it is a passion project, you can see it shine through.
Kudos for fighting for your dream
It's always easier to knock someone on their dream than it is to go after your own.
Infinite (2021)
Infinite Shark Jumps
We got tricked by Walberg being in it and thinking it would be a great action flick. They had the actors. They had the budget. They unfortunately had.... Too much CGI and not enough people saying "bad idea".
Wow, wow, wow. Completely ridiculous CGI stunts where lesser would have been better. Use at least a few real stunts.
I almost threw my remote at one scene it was.so ridiculous.
Save your minutes.
Mortal Kombat (2021)
Loved It
Great laughs, fun throwbacks, just glad they made it.
Santa Jaws (2018)
Why not..
Just erase the shark? If erasing "parts" work, why not erase the whole thing? Draw a whole and its guts.coming out?
Why does the kid have to be such an a-hole to his parents?
Horrible.
History 101 (2020)
Too Many Factual Errors
I love history. I love alternative perspectives and seek them out regularly. My issue isn't the "American slant". I expect most shows made in any country to have a more egocentric view.
However, there are numerous factual errors. Example: all space race deaths were training related. That is 100% incorrect. There have been many. I watched the Challenger explosion and I can guarantee they were not training and they did pass away.
They also give very poor monetary comparisons. No, you cannot fix world poverty with less than an equivalent of $30-$40 per person. You cannot fix world hunger with a few dollars per person.
It could have been great if they would have out a little more effort into fact checking and realistic comparisons.
Stopped at the space race....
Hollywood (2020)
It was clearly a wishful rendition....
I love some of the reviews here. Why write a fiction when the real story is soooo interesting you ask? Why have any fiction then. Why not dream of a better reality and share that dream in the hopes it can continue to become a reality? I love star wars and am glad it was made even though there have been real wars that were interesting. Come on....
I loved this movie and I too have imagined where we might be today had this really happened some 60 years ago.
How many people would not have had to live a lie? How many suicides avoided? How many broken homes saved? How many.....
Story was amazing as was the acting. Wish there was more.
The Dead Don't Die (2019)
We loved it!
I love comedy. I love zombies. I love Murray. This movie was full of easter eggs, throwbacks, cameos, etc. From the looks of some of the other reviews it appears folks just want easy gore or slapstick comedy.
This movie is the type that will get better every time you watch it. There was so much going on in each scene I know we missed some of the little add ins.
No, it is not fast. You will not be rolling in the floor the whole time. It's just not that type of movie. However, it was good entertainment if you just sit back and let it take you for a ride!
Reprisal (2018)
Horrible and sloppy
This was such a disappointment. So many flaws. No character development with Bruce Willis.
The montage of figuring things out was a joke.
Inconsistent. Handguns that hold 30+ bullets. Horrible vision of a banker, not even close....
The scenes with his family were irrelevant. The shootouts were so drawn out and uninteresting.
The "surprises" were totally predictable.
Why was the Brinks guard in a dungeon looking hospital room?
There are so many plot holes it was infuriating.
Just dont......
Why Bruce?!
Blair Witch (2016)
Please stop. For the love of God, please stop
I admit I was not a fan of the first movie. This one was so much worse. It made the first Blair Witch look like a masterpiece. The friendships were not believable and I never cared about any of the characters. The shaky camera is played out. The usage of the drone was a cheap ploy but a ridiculous concept knowing they are going into a forest. In this day and age a 6 year old can shoot amazing HD movies with little to no shaking but these young adults cant hold a camera still for a single decent shot?!?! That is so ridiculous. I am tired of this concept and am afraid to try new movies now because so many are using this played out concept and format. No one films each other in the settings in these films and you have to be brain dead to get "lost in the film" like you do with well made movies. Please stop making these films. Please stop wasting film and money that could go to some NEW CREATIVE ideas with actual camera work and watchable scenes.
