Nightmare Alley (2021)

Proof That Hollywood Will Ruin Every Great Movie It Ever Made

[3/10 · 10 July 2022]

Rubbish! Absolute rubbish! As usual, Hollywood insisted on remaking another fantastic movie, and in the process, turning it into something that only resembles the original in the title. There is better acting to be seen watching a two year old child throw a temper tantrum. Rather than waste time sitting through this dreck, watch the 1947 original.

Civil War: America Divided (2008)

What Did He Say?

[6/10 · 27 May 2022]

Shares a problem common to many recent documentaries: the narrator is frequently drowned out by music and/or sound effects. Perhaps it's just me, but I prefer to hear what the narrator is saying.

Bridget & Eamon (2016–2019)

A Show Bad Enough for American TV

[1/10 · 27 November 2021]

Utter Dreck! A show that portrays Irish Catholics in all the worst ways. If this show portrayed Irish Protestants in the same manner as it does Catholics, there would have been numerous bombings in Belfast, Dublin, and London. They would have been excused by the legacy media, and a hue and cry would have arisen from the politicians and the social media warriors. A fine example of how political correctness is used in modern society: protect a favored group, and attack another non-favored group. One needs to understand that this is a relatively new show, not something from the 70s. If this show had portrayed Muslims, Protestants or Atheists with the same brush it does Catholics, it would have been taken off the air after one episode. Time spent arranging canned goods alphabetically in your cabinets is better spent than watching this crap.

Coupling (2003)

American TV Execs Destroy Another Great British Show

[1/10 · 4 November 2021]

Every time American TV execs decide to redo a British show, they turn it into unwatchable rubbish, and this is no exception. While The Office escaped this fate, possibly due to Ricky Grevais'sinfluence, Coupling has met the same fate as Men Behaving Badly, Top Gear and Shameless.

Black Venus (2010)

Genre Says "History" When It Should Be "Fantasy"

[1/10 · 24 October 2021]

More modern nonsense meant to portray Caucasians as inherently evil monsters. In 1808, African Blacks were common in England and France, and would not have been viewed as "exotics" as the makers of this "history" piece will have one believe. Blatant racism is on display, but it is in the writing of the script, and the minds of the director and producers. Don't waste your time watching this rubbish when you can get all the CRT you need watching Sport Center on ESPN.

Da Vinci: Tracking the Code (2006)

I turned it off

[1/10 · 27 April 2019]

Had to shut this off after a mere 4 minutes in... why? Because this supposed documentary referred to Arnold Schwarzenegger as the "mayor" of California... if I wish to listen to things that are false, not fact-checked or completely inaccurate, I will watch CNN.
