Misanthrope (2023)
I don't know how it got a 6 star rating, stay off this movie.
First of all, the story is not unusual. This is a usual crime story that has been made into movies plenty of times. Somehow the casts are not quite right. Shailene Woodley (SW) acts pretty okay as a rookie police woman, but I don't understand what's wrong with her character. Ben Mendelsohn (BM) acts pretty well, but his character really pops the word WTF in my mind. The way he talks is like he's trying to sound cool all the time. Basically this movie is a big WTF. Almost 30 people were killed in a single night, shot by an unknown shooter, but the police were mesmerized by BM's character's speech in the police station, I mean WTF ? The dialogs are simply weird. This is bad script. I couldn't finish this movie even if I wanted to.
Edge of the World (2021)
Could have been great, but sadly, no.
I was expecting a great movie from stars like Jonathan Rhys Meyer and Dominic Monaghan, but I was so disappointed watching this movie. It truly could have been a great movie, if done properly. What I like about this movie is the setting (borneo island) and the culture portrayed. However this movie lacks the depth of cultural understanding. What I mean is, as a viewer, this film doesn't tell me the importance of the cultural things they do. Another thing, this movie lacks the background stories, especially about how the rulers rule their territory, relationships between Rajah and Maharajah, and those between said rulers. The "climax" is also a letdown. And a homosexual prince in a Moslem country ? Come on ! That's just damn ridiculous. I regret spending almost 2 hours watching this movie.
Invasion (2021)
What the heck is this ?
I first thought that this series would be promising seeing that Sam Neill and Rinko joined the casts, but I couldn't be more wrong. I tried watching it, but after 3 episodes, I just gave up. Nothing happens ! Usually, the first episode is the most exciting one, then it gradually slows down until the 8th or 9th episode and then the series climax happen. But not this one. Nothing hardly happen even in the first episode. Stay away folks, don't waste your time.
Raised by Wolves (2020)
Not for me
Many people like this show, but not me. The first 3 episodes are okay, but the rest is not. For a show about people who are trying to resurrect the human civilization in an unusual planet (the huge snake bone, and the thing in the desert), it is too damn slow. It doesn't feel like it's moving anywhere. Instead of telling stories about survival, it tells stories about religion cr4ps and android's psychological issues, WTF man ? I couldn't finish the 1st season, and I'm not watching the 2nd season. The show is unique, but there are many better shows out there. Overrated !
The Requin (2022)
Don't waste your time
Yes, another shark movie. Though I usually enjoy shark movies, not this one. First quarter of the movie was fine, but definitely not the rest. BAD CGI, BAD acting, BAD story line, BAD details. I was thinking Alicia Silverstone would deliver a pretty decent performance, but boy was I wrong. Don't waste your time on this one folks.
La Brea (2021)
I'd been waiting for this series, but boy was I disappointed !
I was expecting something along Jules Verne's Journey to The Center of The Earth, but what I got was this cr4p. Bad acting, bad dialogues, predictable series even only after watching the first episode. Also, this series is boring as hell.
Jiok (2021)
Wow ! What a waste of time !
This series is definitely not what I was expecting when I saw the trailer. I was expecting a "run for your lives" kinda movies, but what I got was a damn weird family drama that doesn't go anywhere. A LOT (and that is an understatement) of plot holes, and very stupid characters. If something like this happened in the real world, I would expect the governments, military and scientists were the forefront of defense. But NOOOOO, let's turn our defense to the minor league religious cult. I know that some movies need to be watched from a certain perspective to make sense, but not this one. Not from a religion stand point, not from a scientific one, and not from a fantasy one either. So, what the heck is this crap ? I guess the title is befitting this series, as this one is hellbound. Do NOT waste you time on this one.
Midnight Mass (2021)
Way over-rated
The first couple of episodes look promising, but too much talking, too much background story, and not enough mysteries. But, they never told about the angel's backstory. I don't think I'll be waiting for season 2.
The Green Knight (2021)
Boring as hell
Something that can be told in 15 minutes, but stretched into 2 hour of wtf movie. Couldn't even bring myself to finish it. Rubbish ! Perhaps the director tries to follow the original story, but this is not the 14th century.
Royal Jelly (2021)
Rubbish on every level
Do NOT be deceived by paid reviews. Stay away ! Bad acting, bad story, bad special effects. I was expecting an okay B-grade movie, but oh my god was I wrong.
Stay Out of the F**king Attic (2020)
VERY VERY VERY BAD ACTING !
Plot is easily guessed, but that's not the downfall of this movie. What really brings this movie down to unbearable to watch is the acting and the logic in this movie. Very very bad acting. I can't get through more than 30 minutes of this movie.
The Fate of the Furious (2017)
WTF ?
Action scenes are as bad as those found in bad Bollywood movies. 2 words that escape this movie; physics and logic, even in the first 10 minutes. Jumping off of your speeding car onto asphalt road, and not even a scratch ? Seriously ? Cheesy dialogs by Dom, oh my God ! Dom's verbal responses made me want to exit the theater. This is supposed to be street racer, but somehow along the franchise it turned into super spy more awesome than James Bond.
Great White (2021)
Waste of time
One of the worst shark movies ever. Nothing new with the story, about some people trying to survive in the open sea. While I usually enjoy this kind of movie, not this one. Really bad acting !
Dawn of the Beast (2021)
Wow !
This is one of the worst horror films I've ever watched. So, basically you have bigfoot, and ghost, and I don't know what else because I stopped watching after only 15 minutes. Don't waste your time on this one.
The Signal (2014)
WOW !!
The poster and movie description really don't justice about the quality of the movie and what it's about. I must confess, movies nowadays don't really shock me. But this one did. Definitely not what I was expecting. I really like this movie :D
Lovecraft Country (2020)
Supernatural wannabe
First 3 episodes are fine, but the rest are just plain boring. Basically it's a Supernatural wannabe with HEAVY RACISM issue. I lasted 9 episodes, but stop watching in the middle of the 10th episode. Yes, that's how boring it is.
