Hollywood Houselift with Jeff Lewis (2022– )

Perfect weeknight chill show

[9/10 · 28 January 2024]

Never seen Jeff's former show before. Saw this on frevee and clicked. Glad I did. It's very relaxing and fun to watch. The team is fun and it's a good laugh. It's cool to see the celebrities behind the camera, it's more personal and inviting. You get to see their personality and it's cool to see how the elite throw money and dumb things. It's one of those guilty pleasure / weeknight shows where you can turn your brain off and just enjoy Jeff absolutely go savage on people's taste or lack there of. Please keep this show going. It's a good laugh and sometimes educational, I'd recommend it to anyone.

Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies (2022)

Giving a platform to a child killer

[1/10 · 19 December 2023]

She's not fooling anyone. Her lies continue in this "documentary" that essentially lets a killer babble on for hours about how she was a victim in all of this. This pyscho got away with murder, its so clearly evident but this "documentary" gives this pathological liar a platform to spat more lies. It's disgusting and sad.

There is an excellent analysis that everyone should go watch if they care to hear the truth. Its on youtube by JCS. No sane person can watch that video and see her as anything but guilty. What innocent mother goes out parties for weeks on end knowing their kid is missing? Who perpetually lies to the police when all they are trying to do is help find the kid? Someone who is guilty with no conscious. That's Casey Anthony.

Don't give a single view to this pathetic "documentary".

EDIT: I just went back and saw all of the reviews that gave this high praise and believe she is innocent. I beg you to go watch that video on youtube titled "There's Something About Casey". You will quickly learn she is just as guilty. She literally wrote in her journal "Im the happiest I've ever been" during the time her child is missing. That's insane. That whole family is probably guilty honestly, but she definitely killed her daughter or at least knew about her killing. People are so gullible.

Jesus Revolution (2023)

What!!!!!!!!???????

[10/10 · 21 May 2023]

Where did this come from?!? I never expected to see a movie that talks about Jesus and the word of God accurately and unashamedly without a hidden agenda or back door bash on Christianity in such a high quality format. I love that they brought the realism of what it's like following Jesus - no promises that everything will be perfect and all of your ills and troubles disappear, but with community and with Gods word, you'll find His unforced rhythm of absolute truth and absolute grace. We all need Jesus. And I think this movie does an excellent job of showing us how we as a culture and society chase the things that don't ultimately bring us joy and more importantly connection and salvation in and through God. We're at a point where we no longer have hippies but hipsters (ok sorry bad joke), but it's true. We seek justice, love and truth but in all of the wrong conclusions. This movie depicts that transformation. Lastly, I appreciate how it calls out the pitfalls of falling into the darkness of self deception and self fulfillment with Lonnie, how he dabbles in practicing a close representation of the prosperity gospel that is plaguing Christianity. Well done calling that out and staying true to the fact that we are all sinners and in need of the Jesus Movement.

Man on Fire (2004)

I would show this in my film class

[4/10 · 29 April 2023]

On how NOT to edit a movie. It's been awhile since I last this one and my memory must have portrayed me because I thought I liked it the first time around. The story and acting are decent. I believe the cast did the best they could with some of the crappy lines.

But the editing is an absolute nightmare. Where to begin... you feel like you're always been pulled from the action or dialogue with these super cheesy, over the top cutaways. The subtitles to translate the Spanish are distracting by the use of animations you'd find in cookie cutter video tools. And I'm not attacking the age of this film, I know it's oldish at this point, but even so, the way they butchered up the scenes makes it really hard to watch. If they would have done away with the cutaways and camera shakes and took out about an hour of footage, this movie could easily have gone from a 4 to a 6.

Crash Landing on You (2019–2020)

Easily top 3 favorite shows I've ever watched

[10/10 · 31 October 2022]

You know a show is amazing when you're still thinking about weeks, months and years later after watching it. This was the first time I've watched a Korean show and wow it was amazing.

It's got all of the elements that make up any good show. Good acting, drama, great storytelling, likeable characters, wholesome and absolutely hilarious! And to top it all off, CLEAN! Not filled with Hollywood's agenda or excessive swearing or violence. Just good clean fun!

It's so so good, I can't recommend it enough. If you can, listen in the original Korean audio, not dubbed. Yes, you need to read but the acting is soo good you won't even notice after a bit. Seriously, add this to your shortlist, you'll thank yourself soon.

The Tender Bar (2021)

Moments of goodness

[6/10 · 21 August 2022]

I thought the idea of breaking the family chains and doing something more with your life is a great theme. It has moments where it clicked, especially the scenes with the father and the uncle. But it was all to little too late, the scene near the end where his father ends up in the police car was so anti-climatic. It was supposed to be his grand triumph, his breaking the cycle, his grand realization, but it was appt cliché and short lived. There should have been more dialogue in that scene at the restaurant and in the kitchen when the sons confronts his father. There are better ones out there with this same theme. This is a miss. Don't recommend.

Severance (2022– )

Praise Kier!

[10/10 · 14 August 2022]

Didn't know what to think of this show at first, but man I'm glad I pressed play. Watched the whole season in two night's, it's that good. The dark humor, mystery, excellent acting, cinematography, original story, all excellent. One of the best shows I've seen in some time. My only regret is watching it now instead of waiting for season 2. Having to wait till 2024 is going to hurt. I pray they take their time with season 2 though, it'd be a tragedy for it to get rushed and ruined.

Bosch: Legacy (2022– )

Love this show

[9/10 · 24 June 2022]

I like a show with good writing and acting that doesn't push any agenda. If anything, Bosch does a great job showing how their are good and bad cops out there and the how the line can get muddy. It's real and raw, love it. Keep making this show!

Space Force (2020–2022)

Aruba Jamaica I wanna take ya

[10/10 · 20 February 2022]

Update: WTF NETFLIX!?!? This show was sooo good. So blown it was cancelled. Can someone take this shown on please!!???

Despite the hate from critics, Season 1 was absolutely hilarious and thankfully the crowd agreed so we got S2. It was good. Funny, but definitely not as good as S1, which is still my favorite for its absolute absurdity and story dynamics. There was just more going on and I enjoyed that. I have a feeling S2 had a smaller budget since they did a lot of group scenes with the same places over and over. I hope Netflix renews for a 3rd but gives them more of a budget and time to be creative. Bring back the S1 vibe that the crowd so enjoyed.

Trying (2020–2024)

Meh

[6/10 · 31 January 2022]

Kinda boring. Like the story is decent, the production is well done, the characters are charming enough and the humor is good sometimes but it's just kinda meh. I guess just too mellow for my tastes. I can't help but compare it to Catastrophe which is hilarious and has that energy I think this show is missing.

Beautiful Boy (I) (2018)

Real

[10/10 · 11 September 2021]

As someone whose survived living with two addict brothers, this is very real, honest look at addiction and it's ripping affects to a family and self. This one was hard to watch but masterfully done and respectable to the realism of addiction. I encourage you to watch this even, especially if you've never had to live through addiction because it will hopefully open your eyes and heart, finding empathy for those who have lived or are currently living this unmistakably hellish nightmare. It is nothing to glorify, nothing to joke about and everything to take seriously. Thank you to all who made this film possible, it was direly needed.

Run Hide Fight (2020)

Not bad

[7/10 · 15 January 2021]

Didn't seem much different than any other Hollywood b-movie. I will say the acting was great. The ending leaves you with the wrong message though. Def not as bad as critics rate it, but not amazing or revolutionary. 6.5

Designated Survivor (2016–2019)

Season 3: How to lose your whole fan base

[1/10 · 30 June 2020]

That's the title they shouldn't given it to save us all from this trash. Seasons 1 & 2 were great. Season 3? Absolute garbage. The writers should be fired because they clearly didn't do their homework on the fan base and I'm almost positive they never even watched the show before writing. Forced crude language, extreme leftist agenda, a unnecessary sex scene, the list goes on. It's like Netflix said "Oh! It's a show about the president? Let's jam as many of our leftist views as we possibly can! They'll love it!" Yeah no. It's a chore and distasteful. No one wants to watch that. Oh wait, the show got canceled? Huh, hopefully Netflix learned it's lesson. Sad that this show was used as the example.

Parks and Recreation (2009–2015)

Stick with it!

[8/10 · 2 August 2013]

Im going to say right off the bat, the first season is quite slow and is not a good representation of the overall show. Though, don't skip the first season because it helps establish the characters. Once you get to the second season, oh yeah, thats when it starts to get real good. The characters start to mingle more and the humor becomes much more apparent being light and sometimes dark. Watching Amy Poehler (Leslie Knope) and Nick Offerman (Ron Swanson) go at it with complete opposite beliefs is enough to watch this show. Like I said, its slow at first but gets a hell of a lot better.

8.5/10

The Walking Dead: Welcome to the Tombs (2013) Season 3, Episode 16

Worst season yet, the finale was dismal.

[6/10 · 2 April 2013]

I absolutely love this show and I badly want it to do well, but with the very underwhelming ending of season 3 I've been second guessing this series future. The season finale started off O.K. with so many opportunities to be amazing with the impending battle between the Governor and Ricks group, but nothing too great came out of it. Im starting to feel this show is becoming like a drama that consists of mostly arguing/talking with the occasional zombie and gunfight... Not impressed with this season! But I'm hoping in season 4 the crew will get back to writing good episodes like they did in season 1 and 2. At least we have Breaking Bad to look forward to.

V/H/S (2012)

Genuinely Scary

[8/10 · 14 March 2013]

Im not one to be easily frightened when it comes to horror movies and for the most part i find the majority of modern horrors laughably bad and not scary. This movie is not the case.

I wont go into the summary of the movie because you can read that anywhere but i do want to say that this movie is genuinely a scary movie. I found the stories to be quite creative for the most part and really kept you on the edge for most of the movie. Now not to say this movie doesn't have its flaws (some scenes were unnecessary and there isn't a very strong plot) but if you can watch this going into it knowing not to try and focus to much on the overall plot and focus more on the individual stories I guarantee you will enjoy it. Like I said, i don't get scared very easily but they did a great job scaring me.

Requiem for a Dream (2000)

Not for the weak.

[10/10 · 25 October 2012]

Having brothers who have gone through the incredibly disgusting, horrifying addiction of heroin i can tell you, this film nails the scariness and dread that comes from this addiction. This film is not for the weak at heart, it is real, gruesome and truthful. But, this film is important to understand and comprehend the power of these drugs. A great film that is produced, directed, and acted very well, i highly recommend. Just make sure you can handle the truth, This film expressed the true evil of addition, please be careful when watching this movie, it will move if your not ready, i cant stand this stupid review s**t limitation crap. etc. etc.

The Woman in Black (2012)

Cheap Scares and Mediocre Performances.

[3/10 · 13 February 2012]

I really wanted to like this movie after just seeing Devil Inside (poor film). When i saw the trailer I was truly hoping for a eerie classic horror movie where you really felt scared without the use of cheap scares and in your face randomness (birds scene, need i say more?). It started to get so repetitive and desperate trying to create a scary movie but by the end of it people in the audience were laughing, myself included. Save yourself the money and time. Worth a rent? sure why not if your into those sorta movies, but otherwise don't bother. Trust me. ...... Nothing left to say. 10 line minimum is stupid, sorry. So please ignore this text ..

Devil (2010)

M. Night Shyamalan is back!

[8/10 · 18 December 2010]

First i'd just like to say that i rarely post reviews, but when i saw that this movie was only given a 6.2 i had to set it straight. After several past movie busts, M. Night Shyamalan returns with Devil. I went into this film expecting sub-par acting, lengthy and complex dialogue, and a lack of suspense from Shyamalan's past movies, but was i wrong! This movie starts off at a great pace with upside down shot's of Philly, making it seem like the devil is walking the earth, looking for people to devour, and then at the end ties in it all back together very nicely (you'll see what i mean when you watch it), though i thought that was very creative. The acting was also much better than expected. The usual killer with these movies is the acting that takes away from the experience, but for the most part the acting was pretty good. I wouldn't say this movie is very scary, there are some moments that might make you jump but for the most part it was the ability to keep you on the edge of your seat that really engaged me into the movie. I could ramble on, but im not, JUST GO SEE THIS MOVIE! :D

Redline (2007)

One of the WORST movies

[1/10 · 16 May 2009]

I HAVE EVER SEEN! Please, PLEASE, do NOT watch this movie. It was so bad i caught myself with my mouth wide open from the TERRIBLE plot,actors,everything! I watched maybe 15 minutes of the movie (which i regret dearly) and i couldn't take it anymore. I already knew it was going to suck story-wise, but the plot is SO unorganized and SO BAD it literally made my head hurt IM NOT KIDDING. Let me just tell you how bad it is: so right when the movie starts this guy bets a kid that if he can deliver his drugs from los angles (i think) to las vegas within 1 hour n 45 mins he will give him a million dollars so the kid jumps in the car and puts on NIGHT VISION so that he can drive secretly, i know i didn't know people could make this crap up.... So like i said, PLEASE do not watch this movie!!!
