Sistas (2019)
Lots and Lots of ackwardness
A series of conversations that go on too long. None of the actors are particularly talented. A lt of the time it feels like they're stretching scenes to fill the hour.
It might be better if a character or two was compelling.
Golden: The Journey of USA's Elite Gymnasts (2021)
Seems Pretty Good
Seems like if you have dual citizenship options. They might come back n handy if you're an American gymnast.
Crazy Rich Asians (2018)
Not Terribly Rich Looking
Why did this movie have to be shot in Asia? It could have been filmed anywhere. Almost all of the scenes are shot on interior sound stages and sets. With todays films you really expect to see the money of the budget on the screen, and so I guess this movie didn't have a big budget. It reminded me of a tv movie.
Strangely, although Constance Wu's character was pretty bland when you compare it to her role on Fresh Off the Boat, her acting was strangely better than when she portrays a "Tiger Mom" and imho tries to channel Lucy Liu. She is pretty but she doesn't have Liu's or even for that matter, Michelle Yeo's star power.
The story was predictable and his family came off as complete jerks. All of them. That said, I didn't turn it off, or leave the room, so it's got that.
Girls5eva (2021)
It's Funny
Along the line of 30 Rock. Renee Elise Goldsberry? And Busy Phillips are hilarious. Really great satire.
The Game: Away Game (2006)
Terrible terrible tertible
This show was on for 10 years, but this first episode is terrible. A laugh track would have helped.
The Originals (2013)
Lots of acting going on
Very dramatic. Very intense. Especially from the British guy.
Coming to America (1988)
It's alright
It's no Trading Places but I was able to watch it all the way through. Kinda slow and no cgi.
Nadiya Bakes (2020)
What a charmer
I mean she is a star. Is that enough? No it's not. Well she's better than the cooks they have on the Ametican shows. That's for sure.
Les Misérables (2012)
The movie stars
Wow. The movie stars look terrible. Hugh Jackman can do anything.
Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey (2020)
Bad
The costumes are nice, the story is mess. You can tell that the actors knew that this movie was going to suck.
Atlanta: Champagne Papi (2018)
Ontario in the house
The first season had an episode that featured Justin Bieber. This one is a Drake's house. Will there be a episode in the third season that revolves around the Weeknd?
Manifest (2018)
Manifest
This show is terrible. Bad acting, bad writing. Most of the characters have thick Canadian accents, yet it's an American show.
Corner Gas Animated (2018)
The Same but Different
My only complaint is that there are only 24 episodes.
I have read some other comments from people complaining about the ethnic diversity of the cast on the new show. Here's the thing, this show isn't so much about Saskatchewan as the original show was. In fact it's not really set in any kind of reality. The characters have always been cartoon characters, and rebooting the show to make it more universal, and also animated is a brilliant concept by Brent Butt.
I miss Fitzy's Grandma.
