Blue Beetle
(2023)

This was bad...
This is a new low for the genre. This movie has zero original thought and they try to hide it in a near offensive level of Hispanic stereotypes.

Not all Hispanics are poor, nor do we somehow resent white people if we are. I don't constantly sing and dancin. I don't have a crazy uncle with a truck named "Taco".

Get it!!! Taco Truck!!! That hysterical, said nobody...

Seriously the only stereotype missing is the 4ft crucifix on the wall. A joke perfectly pulled off by the late Matthey Perry in the movie Fool's Rush In.

And unfortunately there is Race Baiting. Intentionally mispronouncing of Jamie's name. A baddie (Susan Sarandon) who intentionally calls her Hispanic worker by the wrong names. A reference to a grandmother being a guerilla rebel fighting white imperialists for no reason except to explain her being able to use a belt fed cannon like Jesse Ventura in Predator...

Nothing but pieced together but of other superhero movies. Leaning heavily on Iron Man and Spiderman.

I almost want to cheer the inclusion of O. M. A. C., an obscure comic that I used to read. Untill I saw that what was a living breathing character wast turned into yet another cybernetic soilder suit.

Iron Man 3 anyone???

Then the made the OMAC suit a inexcusable copy of Maximilian from The Black Hole. An obscure act of plagiarism, but a blatant one.

Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa
(2002)

I just can't.....
Words... There are no words....

This is some mid 90's, college level CG garbage.

This makes Food Fight look like high art.

I an having a hard time filling the minimum words as there is nothing good to say. It is like a first cut story layout that was recovered from a studio going bankrupt during production.

The Millers
(2013)

Greg Garcia created this mess?
Occasionally, you find a show that takes a while to find its groove, like Scrubs. The Millers seems to think it has found it from the start. The talented cast seems ready and willing to dive headfirst into the roles with abandon, herein lies the big problem.

Almost everything here is so overblown that it is almost reaches farce level. Kinda like watching Scrubs, sans the whimsy, and the charm and the clever banter and smart humor and the likable characters. If the 1980 cult turd Flash Gordon was to be serialized, it would be and apt comparison to the tone of this mess.

Lets be honest, when Will Arnett is the actor showing the most restraint you either have a horrible idea or have no directorial control over the cast. Director Kevin Smith once mused that he was not strong enough to control Ben Affleck during the making if Dogma. The Millers leave you with similar feelings.
