I love watching movies, comedy and action in particular.
I have a strange policy where I do not watch any movie that is made 10 years before the present year. So as of 2008, I refuse to watch movies prior to 1998. I did break that rule a few times for some classics =p.
I usually watch 3-4 movies a week and comment only on the best, and the worst. No doubt that there are more bad movies than good in this world, therefore I might appear to have "bad taste" in movies.
You can love me or hate me. At the end of the day I will still sleep soundly in my bed.
Cheers!
PS. I'm a dude.

The Mandalorian (2019)
Show makes no sense
This thing in season 1 has more plot holes than swiss cheese.
Fighting sequences are from B rated movies. Its just lazy and poorly choreographed.
The skilled Mandalorian seems so bad at his job that many times he needed miracles to save his life and he got them. Is this show really about a lucky buffoon stumbling across the universe?
You can apparently train people shrimp farmers to be killer warriors in 4 hours. Three of them can do hand to hand combat with a seasoned killer doubling their size (one of his killer companions literally threw mando across the room earlier).
So Mando was apparently the only person skilled enough to capture baby yoda but then every episode after there seems to be more and more skilled bounty hunters trying to take yoda from
Mando. Where were these talents earlier??
When Mando asked for the big job catching baby yoda, his handler was really hesitant to give it to him. When in reality it was revealed later that the dudes been handing out trackers like hot cakes, stating "everybody's got one". Which toddler wrote this show.
And whats the deal with a cannot-be-removed-precise tracker that leads people right to targets regardless of distance?
FUBAR (2023)
Essentially lethal weapon!
Fubar is a feel good action tv show where the good guys always wins. Its light, its action packed, its not too complicated - just like Netflix's Lethal Weapon series before the main actors had a falling out and causing the cancellation of the show.
Fubar is funny, light hearted, action packed series that is just what I needed after a long day at work. No drama, no plot twists, no cliff hangers, no main characters dying, no backstabbing, no nonsense comedy action flick.
In fact fubar is even got a therapist character for the main characters just like in Lethal Weapon! So far so good. Very happy.
Our Universe (2022)
Amazing animation but farfetched associations
How does my left nostril hair connect to the mysteries of our solar system and our universe? Morgan Freeman will show you how.
This is essentially what each episode is about. Something completely minuscule and everyday being compared to our cosmos and the universe. The comparisons are ridiculous and laughable. This show could be a meme.
The stories are boring and slow to develop. I find myself watching each episode over and over again because I keep falling asleep.
The animations are incredible and tries to make up for a very poorly fished out idea and storyline.
Unfortunately that doesnt work. Nothing makes up for a poor story. Not acting, not directing, not special effects. Avoid this.
The Swimmers (2022)
Only if you like over the top dramatizations
How a film begins sets the tone for the rest of the movie and this movie is about over dramatizations and never ending setups.
This is a summary of the first half an hour: swimming - petty family drama - partying - swimming - partying - petty drama - swimming - partying - petty drama - swimming - partying. The repeated scenes makes you wonder when is the film going to get on with it. The never ending setup for the next chapter of the movie is incredibly longwinded. This is why this movie is almost two and half hours long.
Theres an early party scene where the room is perfectly lit with the glow of the afternoon sun, everybody's skin is radiating perfectly, everyone is smiling laughing, the mood is perfect, the people looked perfect. Too perfect. Reminded me of a Venus razor commercial or a toothpaste commercial. It didnt look real, it looked like a fantasy story and a misrepresented idealization of life before the civil war.
I think the movie could have been more realistic as opposed to force emotions onto the viewers and for that this movie is one of the most cringe worthy of this year.
The Adam Project (2022)
Terrible story nice budget.
We live in a world where movies try to use good acting and big budgets to make up for terrible story, lines, and action choreography.
The entire story is not believable, the jokes don't land, every action must be preceded by a zinger. Its just god awful.
Even the acting seems overreacting and too big even by movie standards. They try so hard it just looks out of place.
House of Secrets: The Burari Deaths (2021)
Way too long
They spent so much time covering every little detail like how the ambulances were backed up. This doc could have easily been done in 30 min or less. I have never seen a doc taking that much time talking about trivial details like that.
Jigeum uri hakgyoneun (2022)
Great looking zombies, survivors talk too much
I enjoy the zombie premise but the characters talk way too much. One group literally spends entire episodes talking and not utilizing their surroundings for survival.
A lot of high school drama. But mixed in with a lot of terrible adult storyline and acting. The show lacks focus.
Coming off of the walking dead series, this show really focuses on running and not fighting. The constant running and bickering can get tiring.
Cowboy Bebop (2021)
Uh what is crap?
Immediately lost my interest within in a few minutes where the main guy was hiding behind a roulette table but then suddenly shows up on the ceiling. What a load of crap this show is.
Tides (2021)
Bad writing
Great acting does not make up for terrible writing. The decisions characters made, the events, all of it were to serve an end. That is just too bad because everything becomes boring and predictable.
The rest is just to meet the 150 character requirement to post.
Midnight Mass (2021)
Deliciously dark
I have a love/hate relarionship with director Flanagan. Hes brought us truly awful products such as Gerald's Game and Haunting of Billie Manor. But also incredible works of art like Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass.
Midnight Mass is delightful and deliciously dark. It uses bible verses to justify evil. The whole story is an intriguing concept: what would happen if extreme evil and extreme good both exist inside the same person?
It is incredibly entertaining when the priest and Bev spew holy verses to convince people that bad things have to happen so that good may too. It makes you think!
Inside Job (2021)
Even the pilot was awful to watch
An awful cross between futurama, men in black, and rick & morty.
The jokes are boring. The characters are boring. The story is boring.
The first episode was supposed to hook the audience but I lost interest within seconds and the rest of the episode was just as bad.
Next.
Gemini Man (2019)
Such garbage
Fight scenes look fake and limp, as if it was CGI.
Junior has way too many facial expressions and that looks fake. Will smith didnt even have that man expressions.
Boring predictable storyline
Ugly special effects
Awful cliches and unlikeable characters
Another hollywood formula success.
Solar Opposites (2020)
Like a bad Rick and Morty
Theres a difference between fast storytelling and telling a story too fast. Rick and Morty mastered the art of fast storytelling while maintaining the emotional components of the story. Solar Opposites botches it on the regular. Its sad really.
The Guilty (2021)
Emotionally rich psychologically complex thriller
It is incredible how much emotion could be expressed through voice alone. The entire movie was an emotional rollercoaster.
Joe is an aggressive, directive, commanding police officer who knows how to temporarily control his emotions to get what he wants. He's first instinct in any interaction is to take charge, regardless of rank or department, but when that fails, he pauses temporarily and come up with soft manipulative approach and tries again. It blows my mind how this movie captures the psychological details of a personality type that makes up of roughly 10% of our population. The attention to detail and the acting by Jake is mesmerizing.
I also loved all the voice actors and how they delivered such an impactful performance through voice alone. I highly recommend this movie!
Ojing-eo geim (2021)
First 6 eps were great, last 3 were lame
1-6 built strong momentum.
Ep 7 brought in talkative bad English speaking actors that completely killed the mystery and the momentum the show was building. The show would have been smarter to keep them all silent and have them look tough and mysterious. The moment they started opening their mouths and started walking, they looked and sounded like average American Joes with average intelligence and an average strut. The show died there.
Ep 8 Predictable progression, predictable ending, boring.
Ep 9 total waste of time. Just drags on for too long.
The Negotiator (1998)
Highly improbably but highly entertaining
Everything can be traced, an audit can easily uncover fraud if fraud is suspected. Also shooting computers don't destroy harddrives. Other than those, I enjoyed the movie. Very entertaining.
Zhen · San guo wu shuang (2021)
Highly satisfying for an old gamer
The fight scenes are just as crazy as the.video game series and brought back great memories!
The story is solid - has to be as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is considered a national treasure in China and has been told and retold for hundred years.
Overall I enjoyed the visual effects and storytelling.
Gunpowder Milkshake (2021)
Cross between kill bill and john wick
Not a bad movie. Tries to be artistically violent like kill bill and john wick. Just dont take it seriously.
Kingdom: Ashin-jeon (2021)
The Kingdom universe just got more interesting!
Been a big fan of the show. This spin off does not disappoint. Its dark, gritty, exciting, and action packed. The storytelling is fantastic and the artistic style is delightfully dark.
Fear Street: 1666 (2021)
Decent part 2. Part 1 was agony
The biggest creative mistake this series made was to use the same actors for 1666. It was awkward and confusing.
Fear Street: 1978 (2021)
Exhilarating story but poor action and drama
Love the story and the timelines. But sometimes the side stories gets really carried away and the characters talk forever.
In addition, all the characters are abnormally courageous but then dies in the dumbest ways.
Finally, injuries aren't a thing in this universe. Got axed in the leg? Keep walking around, its fine. Got stabbed in the stomach by a wooden stick? Sit down and listen to a story, its fine.
Besides those three let downs, the trilogy is very exciting to watch!
Mortal Engines (2018)
Too many one-liners
The entire movie is about the one-liners. Unfortunately that's not enough to carry the whole movie through. The entire concept of the film doesn't make much sense either.
Glass (2019)
Mesmerizing through and through
I have not seen the first two movies only the first part of Split. But after watching this I really want to see the first two films!
I liked the storytelling, it tells you only what you needed at the right time and it flows nicely. The closeups were super interesting to watch, all the actors performed superbly.
Blue Miracle (2021)
How do you mess up a based on a true story?
Everything felt forced. The writing was lazy, dialog felt unnatural, you could tell which parts were made up and which parts were true. All the conflicts and drama were definitely faked. It was just incredibly lazy. "Oh let's add character conflict here! This scene needs more excitement." You had something good and you ruined it.
Us (2019)
Music, acting and everything else made up for a terrible story
The movie makes no sense but enjoyable nonetheless. The music from this has even became a meme song for 2020.
