The Little Things (2021)
Throwing a bunch of good actors together does not mean it's a good movie.
Ok so people think because Denzel Washington is in the movie that it's just automatically a great movie. I think he's a great actor too but this movie is not.
When you spend the entire movie wondering what the heck is going on, waiting for something to finally come together or be explained, then get to the end and even have more questions, that's a disappointment. Who knows? Maybe if you watch the movie with closed captions and don't actually miss 70% of the dialogue it might make more sense but I sure wouldn't waste my time to find out.
There are a lot of in depth reviews on here so I won't go over it all but my opinion is that if I watched this movie for free I would have been disappointed with wasting over 2 hours of my time so paying to see it at a theatre made it even worse. The creepy character played by Leto was amusing but definitely not enough to warrant sitting through the entire movie.
The Great Escapists (2021)
Hilarious!
Firstly, I despise sitcoms and most other "comedies" out there. I just happened upon this show browsing through titles and I found it absolutely hilarious! I watched it from start to finish all in one night.
Just the facial expressions on all of the characters- even the minor ones, made me laugh. Smart, smart, funny comedy. The only downside to it was that it ended so soon.
Fed Up (2014)
This may be the most important movie a parent ever sees.
Incredible documentary. Actually seeing people speaking the truth and exposing the food industry is so fulfilling. I applaud every one of those people who have a conscience and are more worried about protecting our children and future generations than filling their pockets with our new God, Money.
I laughed so hard at the part where they replaced the "Half the fat" label with "Double the sugar", it reminds me of super markets who make bigger shopping carts and brand them as "for your shopping convenience" rather than, "So you can buy more stuff and we can make more money."
My only regret with this movie is that I didn't see it 30 years ago. I've heard for years about how bad sugar is for you and not to drink pop and always shrugged it off. Sometimes you have to see a documentary like this for it to really sink in. I already know who I'm giving my last bag of sugar to.
A huge THANK YOU! to the creators of this movie from this parent.
Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)
Waste of time and everything else.
I thought the movie started out OK at the very best but spiralled downwards soon after. Nothing erotic, nothing exciting, nothing interesting, and definitely nothing unique. I gritted my way through it until they pulled out the old "why won't you let me in?" line that I had had enough and shut it off. But hey, they made 1/2 billion dollars so far, I only hope that anyone who saw this movie doesn't get duped into thinking the sequels are going to be any better. To those who are lucky enough not to have seen it, do yourself a favour and keep it that way. The Secretary with James Spader was a much better movie than this and was much closer to portraying BDSM than this trash.
Taken 2 (2012)
One of, if not the worst action movies I've ever seen.
Well I won't repeat how ridiculous this movie was, a lot of others have already done that. It's hard to pick out THE worst part of the movie since it was all bad but the chase scene and dialogue during it got me the most. Take out all the chasing and noise and this is what you get:
Sh1t! The Cops! Dad, I have to stop. - No, I just shot one of them, now go! Come on, go! Go right! Back, back, back! Come on, move! Come on, Kim. Go! Go! Come on, keep going! Left! Keep going! - Oh, no, they're shooting - Stay low, keep going. Come on, faster. - I can't! - Do it! - I can't! - Come on, move! Move! - Dad!- Keep going! - Watch the road! Right! Oh, sh1t! - Come on, Kim, move! Go! - Okay! - Go! Come on! Keep going! Come on! Sh1t!- Dad! - Keep going, stay low! Faster, Kim. - I can't! -Come on, faster! - Dad! - Keep going! You can make it! Do it. Here, Don't stop! - But there's soldiers. - They'll move! Down, Kim! Are you okay?- Yeah. Keep your head down, Kimmy.
That's about how empty the entire movie is. If you haven't seen it yet consider yourself lucky and save your money.
No Good Deed (2014)
A predictable, cliché filled eye roller.
WHY do they make movies like this?? I'll admit that sometimes I just like to watch a movie with a simple plot but this one was BAD. Take every cliché you can think of, roll them into 1 and you've got "No Good Deed." If this was billed as a comedy/thriller movie parody it would have been funny but otherwise, emotionless. Here are just a few of the predictable scenes from this movie (inserting SPOILER here would be a paradox).
1. Ominous thunder throughout suspenseful scenes.
2. Ditzy/sex crazed best friend used for fodder.
3. 5 foot something female fending off a 6 foot something male with random objects laying around the house.
4. Convict locked up tight with shackles taking over a transport van.
5. Female temporarily knocks out the bad guy during a struggle, then turns and runs upstairs.
And those are just off the top of my head, the bottom line is to go clean your house, water your lawn, or have a nap rather than waste your time with this one.
Corner Gas: The Movie (2014)
Very few laughs.
I was a big fan of Corner Gas like so many others but I thought that aside from Brent and Wanda, the rest of the cast really over acted and it was no different in this movie. I think it was over 1/2 way through the movie before I even remotely chuckled and it got a little funnier from there but mostly because of Davis. That Wullerton spitting joke has never made me laugh and they really overused it in this movie.
Any fans of the show were dying to see the cast again so to them it was going to be funny no matter how bad the movie was. In actual fact, it's unlikely this movie would be funny to many outsiders.
I know that no one will agree with anyone who writes anything critical about their beloved Corner Gas but those are the facts. I'm glad to see that so many people liked the movie because being Canadian, I always hoped for it to succeed.
The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) (2011)
Only 1 word necessary - disgusting.
Well I can't say much that hasn't already been said, vile, awful, sickening, etc... yet I see there are actually people out there that like this stuff! I'm not going to slam anyone, to each their own but when finishing watching a movie and you don't feel happy, sad, intrigued, or any other emotion but disgust, how can you say anything positive about it?
Though disturbing, the first movie had an original idea and was watchable just out of curiosity sake. This one was sickening in every aspect, not suspenseful, not scary, not interesting or anything else. When you can't even look at the lead actor without your stomach turning how can you enjoy the movie?
The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2009)
Some of the worst acting I've ever seen.
I honesty cannot think of a worse acting performance than by the 2 females in this movie. Luckily, all they had to do is moan and grunt for most of it.
The idea of the movie although original is repulsive. I recently watched a video on 15 torture devices throughout history and not one of them effected me like this one.
I thought the doctor did a great job and the makeup was very good, I was impressed with the look of the stitching on the face. The equipment in his basement operating room was actually rented from a hospital so that made it a little more credible and eerie. Those are about all the good points of the movie.
Now I could go on and on about the negative things but the scene of them walking through the woods to get help is so ridiculous it's hard to believe it was meant to be taken seriously, maybe it wasn't? Maybe this was meant to be a comedy/horror? Or when the one girl has a very small window of opportunity to escape but instead of getting out and running for help she spends 1/2 hour trying to drag her unconscious friend up a flight of stairs and out of the house, my goodness.
I'm not sorry I watched the move, it was entertaining- the sequel is a different story but it's one of those movies that aren't easily erased from your memory even though you'd like it to be.
Trailer Park Boys (2001)
Not a single episode I didn't laugh hysterically at.
There are so many "comedies" out there where all I do is sit and roll my eyes at how stupid and mindless they are. This show is the exact opposite, I don't think Bubbles could say "hello" without me laughing. I'll never forget the episode where the satellite company came to pull down the illegal dishes and they called for "Dino" and Bubbles said, "Dino? You better call Fred and Barney too!" I laughed more at that one line than I would at an entire season of Third Rock from the Sun or such idiotic shows. The only reason I never gave a 10/10 is because I'm not a fan of J-ROC and his crew, I wish the show would have replaced them with other characters but aside from that, a true classic, I just watched "Don't Legalize It" and now have to watch the entire series over again from year 1.
Prisoners (2013)
One of the best thrillers ever!
I am very hard to please when it comes to movies. Most are so predictable and corny I spend most of my time rolling my eyes throughout the movie. This, on the other hand, had excellent directing, acting, and a great story that kept me on the edge of my seat and guessing what was going to happen right until the end. I was worried it was going to be wrecked with a stupid ending like most movies are but they even managed to do well there. At times it was so powerful you almost felt like you were one of the parents. If other movies were only half this good!! I only hope the director and cat get the awards they deserve for this great film.
