Unfrosted (2024)

What a waste!!!

[1/10 · 5 May 2024]

Please save your self and don't watch this mess.

Jerry was able to drag a lot of talented actors (except Amy who was never funny nor talented) in this mass.

Guess what? He proved once again that he wasn't the one behind the success of Seinfeld. And did Kellogg's agree to this?

It exposed how food industry is unhealthy and that it's all about lobbying and adding more and more sugar.

Cereal for breakfast was never part of my diet, and now I'm more than convinced that I did not miss anything growing up.

Jerry must be very grateful to Netflix that they payed for this "cr*****" because If this movie was released in theater no one will waste money and time to watch it.

Retire please, do your self and us a favor. You're not funny so stop trying. And surrounding your self with other talented people will not make you shine but will make them fall in your hole.

Strange World (2022)

Not as bad as I've been told!!!

[8/10 · 6 January 2023]

I hesitated a lot before I watch this movie. Heard a lot of bad reviews and criticism. After watching it, it's not the greatest movie but it's not that bad either. I'm not an expert or a movie critic so as long as a movie entertain me I'm ok with that. The movie in mainly about father/son relationship. Now that I'm in my 40's I understand how complicated it can be. I expected more from my father, he expected more from me, but at the end what counts the most is that unspoken love we have for each other. This movie reminded me how much I love my father and how"unfair"I am sometimes with him.

You should watch this movie by your self to make your own opinion, maybe you will get a different message. I will most probably watch it again.

Package Deal (2013–2014)

Don't waste your time!

I wonder how they lasted 2 seasons?! Couldn't the producers see how unfunny and horrible this show was?!

The writing, the acting, the non existing jokes, the story it self, a disaster.

Law & Order: Criminal Intent (2001–2011)

We can ruin a good show with one single character!

[3/10 · 17 December 2021]

It is a good show, but very hard to watch because of the character of "Robert Goren" what an annoying persona!!! Always over the top acting like the detectives we all hate. That character of more suitable for a lawyer or mafia then for a police department.

The Golden Girls (1985–1992)

Friends

[10/10 · 10 May 2020]

I remember watching this show when it first aired, I was a child I couldn't understand all the jokes and some episodes were censored in Algeria. Years after when YouTube started I saw few clips by chance and I rediscovered the show. Since I watch the entire show at least once a year. I love it, it's funny, smart, well written, a head of it times in many ways. Wish I could share a cheesecake with those ladies, my friends

Hollywood (2020)

It's Hollywood as we imagine it

[9/10 · 10 May 2020]

We always expect glamour, Beaty, charm and ground breaking from Hollywood. And this is exactly what this show brings us. Wasn't expecting much, I just wanted to be entertain during this quarantine, I ended up by falling in love with those characters. Anyone of us can relate, there's an idealist, a dreamer, inside each one of us most of the time is overpowered by the survivor in us. We do things to survive we're not always pride of while we keep dreaming.

October Faction (2020)

It deserves a second season

[7/10 · 10 May 2020]

I just finished watching it, this show seriously deserves a second chance, too much potential. What we need is just "growing characters" and I'm referring to the twins. Or maybe it's just us who are too grown already to understand what it used to feel as a teenager!!! Other annoying thing: the show is toooo politically correct; OMG there are so many"minorities"in such a small town!!! Uffff

The Battle of Algiers (1966)

I can't be objective !

[9/10 · 29 June 2015]

As Algerian, I watched this movie 2 times a year for 20 years, this movie is a part of my story. It helped me to put imagines and sounds to stories I heard from my teachers, cousins, as my grand-parents and my parents still can't talk about that horrible war.

By now, as I'm growing old, I understand that this movie is not the 'Truth', it was 'war', and in a war even good people can do horrible things. And I know what I'm talking about as I was there, in Algeria, during the 'Dark Decennial', while we were fighting against our own people whom turned terrorists in the name of Islam.

So for those who will watch this film, please just remember not to judge any of the parties : Algerian /or/ French. It was a war and no war is nice, people die, and those who survive will suffer. Films/art are a form of exorcism for that pain we keep silently inside.

I like this movie, because I saw tears in the beautiful green eyes of my grand mother every time she watched it and it always gave her a good opportunity to cry for my grand father that she lost during the war. I saw my father crying for his father that he never knew, and saw him also being closer to his mom because.

For me, this movie will always be a 'Good movie to watch in Family'
