this literally made everyone leave the room
22 August 2023
Thats right, this cleared out the break room, nobody was laughing, it was just dated cringe comedy, toilet/adult humor. Slow paced. We gave it 20 mins and then people started going back to work, thats right... they left to work at their desk.

I am sure there are some people who would find this trash funny but you could do so much better, go watch some recent stuff by shultz or rock, lots of stuff online these days. I feel bad for the people who watched this, and shudder at those that took a chance paying for this in tampa.

Coworker said it well, Schneider is out of practice. Why spend time watching some letting his knife dull for years, when you could watch, listen and be engaged following someone who is sharp and honed.

not inspiring but depressing
20 June 2023
I agree with the other reviewers who are saying it is not even close to the same level as ford v ferrari. It also sucks compared to some well done docs online and grand tour. Go check out the audi v lancia or ford v ferrari episodes, you wont be disappointed.

Overall you just don't learn that much from this film that you didn't already know, just an overall sad depressing film, that don't get me wrong looks beautiful, just the way they told the story just isn't something to behold.

Skip this one.

I really wish they would have put more information about the stuff and specifics we didn't know, the movie got caught in a place where its not informative enough for those seeking knowledge, not entertaining or well written for the everyman.

A Discovery of Witches (2018–2022)

good production value - but 3rd season falls short
15 January 2022
First 2 seasons were fine. But 3rd season dropped the ball. Very predictable and just an overall let down, especially the last few episodes. I am not sure if it had trouble because of the source material but this show really suffered in season 3.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A MOVIE LIKE ROUNDERS, MOLLYS GAME OR THE GAMBLER, THIS ISNT IT
4 October 2021
This movie has 0 actual gambling, they show 1 black jack hand the whole movie.

Its a thinly veiled, horribly paced, slow slog of a 'thriller' , with no action, no suspense, just puzzling ideas and two jarring 'stories' jammed together with almost no common ground at all.

Acting was flat, movie pace was all flat. Just not enjoyable AT ALL. They YADA YADA over all the gambling, all the good parts and it just sucks.

Dont watch it. Please.

watch edge of tomorrow instead
23 July 2021
If you are looking for a sci fi, semi-futuristic alien invasion time based action thriller then watch edge of tomorrow instead.

That being said a lot of concepts are similar to this, with less humor.

Some cgi-fails, as well as some slow and boring parts. Seems like very little action here as well.

Some forgotten/abandoned plot points as well make some items feel disjointed, whereas if you remember some other important things they mention earlier in the film you get rewarded.

started out pretty decent, but then went off the rails
23 May 2021
Honestly i cant recommend this one. Its a decent movie. But about half way through.it starts to fall apart with plot holes and jank. Its quite long but still doesnt show everything? Seems like they skip over or yada-yada over the best parts! Could have been due to more editing issues or cuts from the studio... For time. Cgi could use some work too. Overall a lot of meh moments and just a lot of unsatisfying scenes... not the popcorn movie I wanted..

EPISODE 1 IS NOT CHILD SAFE
10 April 2021
May start out and look like a family friendly show, but IT IS NOT, just a warning for those that aren't aware that this series is definitely adult.

DO NOT WATCH
4 March 2021
This movie makes battlefield earth look inspired and artful.

Yea I said it..

This has no originality at all.

the acting sucks. the scriping/writing sucks plot is BAD production/effects/props are all horrible. music and sound is forgettable

I dont know why the robot in the bar was so well done for 10s of screen time but yea..

had high hopes seeing this come up when I saw bruce and frank ( coming off a great sci-fi movie right before this)

but sadly this is trash.

GO WATCH Boss Level !! if you want sci-fi ( non space)

No effects visible here, all real cinematography, score, great acting. It really just is all around believable . has something for everyone humor, Australian 'culture' and some information on sheep breeds. some creative and marvelous set work , great locations and all around great movie! just a very satisfying instant classic!

Mortal (2020)
5/10
did they run out of CGI effects budget half way through?
11 September 2020
Things looked all good until half way through the movie, when all the momentum they had built up with a nice pace and good effects goes right out the window when they just cant get the lightning right. the burning and water effects were fine

Priyanka Bose has no talent, its so annoying, further hurts the immersion of the film.

so many cringe plot points and such after such a good start. sad

Polar (I) (2019)
8/10
if crank and john wick had an adult-R rated baby
4 March 2019
There are more jokes in this movie compared to what the recent 'gun-fu' movies usually have, and they are mostly adult jokes/themed, its comedic style is more like crank, not funny 'ha ha' but more like 'what an absurd situation we have found ourselves in eh?'

this movie isnt all about action though, it has more complexities to it then john wick does, not that its better then keanu's recent opus, but it has some things it does not. one thing its lacking compared to that movie is a tiny bit more action, it feels like 1 scene or so was trimmed down or it just needed 1 more fight scene. they had lots of opportunities to use winnick here, to build up tension, stakes and display her skill. but chose not to? no idea.

that being said acting is enough, script is good and nothing really breaks your immersion, scenes are all cinematic and beautiful, very well done. visuals leave nothing to be desired.

action is realistic and gore filled, and the overall script has twists and turns you could not see coming at all. very well put together film. has something for everyone.

worth a watch for sure!

ultra-artsy film school attempt at a plotless visual showpiece
23 May 2018
Just trying to save you some time here. if you liked crimson peak and thought it had a revolutionary visuals and an acceptable plot with 'mysterious' feel to it, this MAY be acceptable to MAYBE watch when you are bored out of your mind.

this movie has no plot really, no real purpose or device. it is just to show off its sets and actors doing outlandish things. keeps you guessing but is very predictable... not a satisfying ending at all.

some of the 'outlandish' acting would actually be enjoyable if it wasnt for no reason other then to just fill the screen and deliver lines.

it really tries hard with a very expensive authentic looking set, it LOOKS real, some REALLY GREAT individual shots that an art school teacher could spend a semester on alone. honestly this thing is held up at a 4 rating, just for a couple of the nice shots in it.

costumes are crazy and budget is super high for a movie that really had a minute advertising budget in Canada. maybe I wasnt the target audience but it really wasnt a movie that i got anything out of..

just artsy visuals/shots, no marks for anything else.

Nightcrawler (2014)
5/10
not in theater, but worth a download
9 November 2014
Jake Gyllenhaal stands alone in this movie as a great actor, he really gets into the character like he has in the past in other roles. Too bad that he was not supported very well either by the director, script, or supporting actors at all.

The script is very one dimensional, and you are really only watching Jake put on a persona, living in character impressive, albeit it cant save this movie from being lost in mediocrity.

If you are a fan of Jake, then this could be worth a download, but honestly, its not interesting enough to warrant movie ticket prices.

If you have not seen prisoners, or Donnie Darko, then see those first.

stay at home and download.

Movie 43 (2013)
2/10
this is what you call a "try hard" failure
13 October 2013
move enlisted lots of a-list stars, however fell on its face with over the top horrible production, goofy stupid and groan inducing shorts, that are just not funny. movie tries hard to get a laugh out of you, but really its just a horrible collection of poorly written skits, that very well could have been written by the pot head losers that starred in this movie. do not see this movie.

"it was awful" simply put, go watch any other comedy or goofy movie out there and it will be better then this garbage. 4.2 is a generous rating for this trash.

this is the kind of garbage you can expect to see online, the acting wasn't even good, special effects poor, and most of the skits were not funny in the slightest.

this movie is not entertaining
10 July 2013
Warning: Spoilers
honestly this movie did not impress me at all. I specifically created this account to right this review. It was horrible, on multiple levels. If you want a "space station thriller" go watch Moon, and be happy with that.

I would watch Battlefield Earth again, before I could recommend this. ( honestly I love Battlefield Earth, way better then this garbage)

Plot sucks, twists are predictable and do nothing to liven up the shallow boring plot.

Lots of Face on Bluescreen narration, creating boring long drawn out "fluff" that doesn't add to the story. Not poorly made set, that just gets soo boring, these guys really need to go re watch Moon and see it done right.

Ending sucked, so stupid, movie on the whole was very predictable, acting was nothing, just made the movie feel like a crappily made plain donut.

DO NOT WATCH
