Mortal Kombat (2021)

A sad reboot

[1/10 · 24 November 2021]

Unlike the originals, this one focuses on sad CGI and as much graphic language as they could fit in. It's obvious the writers have no concept of what made the game so great.

Don't waste the time to watch it.

Chad (2021–2024)

Who is paying people to give this more than 1 star?

[1/10 · 14 April 2021]

They have been casting adults to play teens forever, but this is just wrong on every single level. This show doesn't even attempt to be anything but completely creepy. Do yourself a favor. Read the 1 star reviews and avoid this show.

The Kids Are Alright (2018–2019)

This show is simply a bad version of the Goldbergs

[1/10 · 17 October 2018]

It's hard to believe that this show made it onto the air. It's just a poorly copied Goldberg's rip off.

Annabelle: Creation (2017)

Another cliché horror movie

[2/10 · 25 September 2017]

This will contain spoilers, although if you've seen any horror movie ever, none will be a surprise.

First the little girl dies and they flash forward a dozen years when the grieving couple open their home to some orphans. Then for a while they make out the dad to be some sort of creeper without any explanation as to why. The mother is mysteriously hidden away in a bedroom ringing a bell.

Of course there are the token characters who make up the cast. A young crippled girl is the "first" to get the scary feeling. Like that's never been done before.

Then the first major plot hole surfaces. The little possessed doll has been locked in a closet for a dozen years. The walls and door papered with pages from the bible to keep the demon at bay. Again, a blind man with a cane could see this one coming.

All of the sudden for no reason whatsoever, the locked closet, the bible covered walls and the locked bedroom no longer hold back the demon. It leaves a note on the floor for the little girl to find. Magically the bedroom door is unlocked.

Giving them a little credit, the girl did have to unlock the closet. Of course once she locked it again, the demon can now unlock it at will.

Like every demon in every single horror film ever, the demon/ghost is able to levitate items, throw items, possess people, etc. but if you run into a bedroom and lock the door, the demon/ghost is powerless to get in. This happens more than once during the movie.

Again, like all modern horror stories, the demon/ghost can easily kill people with just their powers (like the dad in this movie) yet needs a knife or some other object to kill the little girls. That way they can escape of course and be ready for the next movie.

So after an hour or so of regurgitating every bad thought in a horror movie, we see the little possessed girl get thrown into the closet with the walls that are covered in pages of the bible. The demon/ghost goes wild, knocking things all over the house over, blowing out lights, and shaking the entire house, but supposedly cannot get out of the closet.

Low and behold, instead of getting out and slaughtering the survivors, the possessed girl does in fact get out of the closet and finds her way to the next orphanage. Major surprise there right? This isn't the worst horror movie, just nothing new, nothing original, and follows the cliché horror script throughout.

Kidnap (I) (2017)

This is just an awful film with just horrible writing (spoilers)

[1/10 · 4 September 2017]

I saw this because I like Halley Berry movies and figured that this would be another good movie. I was horribly wrong.

The plot has too many holes and makes no sense whatsoever.

After many miles of "chasing" the kidnappers she finally thinks to ram into them once her van is almost out of gas? Did she think to do this when they were stuck in traffic or while surrounded by cars on the highway? Or maybe when there was a cop following her?

Nope, she waits until they are on a deserted road.

When the kidnapper comes after her with a shotgun, where does the genius hide? In her mini van with wrap around windows. Good thing the bad guy decides not to shoot out the glass and shoot her.

Finally we get near the end of this horrible movie and the woman kidnapper sicks a dog on the Halley Berry and her kid. Somehow after killing the kidnapper the dog mysteriously disappears and never shows up again.

Possibly the dog was as board with this movie as the audience and simply gave up to do something better.

These are not the only horrible parts of the movie, but the most glaring.

It's an hour and half of my life that I wish that I could get back. Do not be fooled by the positive reviews, this is a horrible movie and should be skipped.

Ghostbusters: Answer the Call (2016)

It's like a bad SNL skit that went on for too long

[1/10 · 18 July 2016]

I get that all the new reboots have to be politically correct and diversified to meet the standards set forth today, but this is just bad.

Some of the original jokes were just copied and pasted for no reason and didn't really carry the same effect.

The anti men jokes were old and tired, bordering on cliché. The racial tone was certainly not needed but sadly expected.

The acting is okay, the CGI is okay, but the story line is just too politically correct and fails in imagination.

In the end, this movie did not need to be made, it lacks in everything. A poor shadow of the original. My suggestion would be to find the originals and watch them instead.

Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)

Watered down politically correct rewrite of the original trilogy

[2/10 · 9 July 2016]

If you are under 30 and enjoy poorly rewritten stories with a modern politically correct tone, you'll probably like this movie.

It is completely mindless with zero direction and no depth whatsoever.

They completely gloss over the missing 30 years with nothing but small talk.

Sure you can see JJ Abrams hands all over this one, his poor style in direction and story telling are obvious despite the title.

This movie fits in the same category with the "prequels" in that it disappoints really well.

I recommend that you do not waste the hours watching this one.

Lucifer (2016–2021)

I really wanted to like this show

[4/10 · 16 February 2016]

When this show hit the air, I had hopes for it. Yes, it has nothing to do with the comics or graphic novels, and yes, it is yet another cop show. Sadly I expected as much from a Jerry Bruckheimer production, but still I wanted to like it.

The pilot was good, definitely funny, but the story line was a little weak.

Episode 2 was about the same, funny but weak. Now we go down the predictable path of the devil losing his abilities. Really? Now he can feel pain and bleed? I was so hoping for much better, but sadly this wannabe cop show is following the same old tired story line.

How long has it been since anyone in America created an original story line....

The Last Man on Earth (2015–2018)

This show is awful on an epic scale...

[1/10 · 16 March 2015]

Just a quick check of the title "Last man on earth" would make some believe that it may just mean that this guy is the last guy... Who honestly didn't see a woman entering this show? Now there are 2. Based on cast, soon a third woman will enter along with a guy... Way to keep with the title of the show...

Beyond that obviously flawed fact, this has to be one of the most unoriginal shows on TV. Every plot has been regurgitated and it is so completely predictable. That is forgiving the horrible cgi contained so far.

Then people should begin to question why Tuscon? This guy who magically gets enough gas to drive around the entire country chooses to live in one of the driest and hottest places in the country.... Can anyone honestly claim that they would choose Tuscon with everything being available?
