A Carol Christmas
(2003)

Not bad for what it's worth.
There are many tellings of A Christmas Carol with every version having their twist to the story.

This one is taking the story to a modern setting as it follows the story of Carol Cartman (played by Tori Spelling) a ego driven tv show host who treats her employees badly such as her assistant Roberta (by played Nina Siemasko)

However the spirit of her Aunt Marla (played by Dinah Manoff) comes to warn her that if she don't change her ways she will be sharing her fate so to help her see the errors of her ways three spirts visit her Ghost Of Christmas Past (Played by Gary Coleman) Christmas Of Christmas Present (Played by William Shatner) and Ghost Of Christmas Future (Played by James Cromwell)

This one felt more like a family comedy as opposed to the original story which I understand considering how they did make a different path with the plot. However they did kept what made the story strong after all these years.

Some of the story telling in this movie felt ridiculous but it is what it is but it is a tv movie after all so the setting is what many tv host shows would be like.

The main cast did their part to help bring the story to life some with a touch of their gift to the movie.

However the movie fell in some of the many of the Christmas Carol such as not including "Bah Humbug" which everyone knows is spoken throughout the movie also the supporting characters didn't fit the narrative of the movie.

Not saying this is a bad movie it's not a bad way to experience a different movie experience.

I give A Carol Christmas an 7 out of 10.

Tom and Jerry
(2021)

A insult to humanity
Tom and Jerry is the latest cartoon classic to be given the live action treatment and to say this one is awful is a beyond understatement.

There are so many wrongs with this movie that it would require a book to list them.

You would think with classic characters such as Tom and Jerry they would receive honor, respect and dignity for how many years they have entertained children and adults with their comedy.

However this movie is a disgrace to to the characters and shouldn't have happened.

They don't deserve to be in the same sentence as the characters.

They make the comedy look like a piece of trash which takes you out of the movie.

On top of that they didn't use hand drawn animation just full cgi to bring the characters to life and they want you to believe they are there when you see the cast performance it is a failure.

I give Tom And Jerry a 1 out of 10.

Manifest
(2018)

This show should have never been created.
All right the idea for Manifest had a promising start but as the series progressed I lost interest.

I would spot on one in a while. Along with seeing clips but when I saw the gore and vomit in one episode I swore off the show.

Manifest is one of those reasons I am getting a dislike for television series I understand that tv shows have to build up characters over the course of episodes but this is just a ridiculous boring and uninspiring show that only gets worst as it goes on so I don't have any desire to ever watch this series again and I can't wait for the series to meet it finish.

It has uninspiring characters that are boring and do nothing worthwhile. The acting is brutal and the cast only there to get a paycheck.

I wish I had never lay eyes on Manifest and I hope never to watch it Again.

WWE Bad Blood
(2003)

My first live WWE show
June 15,2003 live from the Compaq Center in Houston, Texas Austin and Bischoff presented WWE Bad Blood. With the theme song being "Headstrong"by Trapt.

This was the first ever live event of professional wrestling that I ever attended. It was a experience that I appreciated even more and this was 20 years ago. I still remember the event and the moments from the show.

Match 1: The Dudley Boyz vs Rodney Mack and Christopher Nowinski. This match wasn't the best of the evening but the twist comes at the end.

Rating 6 out of 10

Match 2: Scott Steiner vs Test winner gets Stacy Keibler managerial service

The crowd was out during this match and Stacy got a huge pop.

Rating 7 out of 10.

Match 3: Booker T vs Christian for the Intercontinental Championship.

Booker T got a huge reaction as this was his home town and both work back and forth between the match. Too bad the finish leads much to be desired.

Rating 7 out of 10.

Match 4: La Résistance (René Duprée and Sylvain Grenier) vs Rob Van Dam and Kane for the World Tag Team Championship.

This match was in my opinion disappointing and too short Rating:5 out of 10

Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Eric Bischoff during the night had a redneck triathlon a best of three happened during the night. 1. Burping contest 2. Pie eating contest 3. Pig pen fun. The first and last events were very funny especially when Stone Cold gave Eric the stunner.

Match 5: Goldberg vs Chris Jericho This is where we get the actual good matches of the show. This was build up so well and when they got into the ring they went at it like warriors with great spots.

Rating: 8 out of 10

Match 6: Shawn Michaels vs Ric Flair This was another match the fans got thrilled about as two men were legends in their respective eras. Somehow both men pull off a good performance and Shawn having the Texas homefield made it easier to be the favorite in the match Rating: 8 out of 10

Match 7: Triple H vs Kevin Nash for the World Heavyweight Championship Hell In A Cell match with Mick Foley as Special Guest Referee

This match was brutal as expected when it comes to the Hell In A Cell matches.

Rating: 9 out of 10

Overall this show is a mix for a lot of funs. But being this was my first ever live professional wrestling show it definitely left a impact on me

I give WWE Bad Blood 2003 a 7 out of 10.

Bikini Girls vs Dinosaurs
(2014)

Pathetic
Bikini Girls vs Dinosaurs is beyond awful. It is a complete and total abomination!

Thanks to this movie I wasted time in my life that I will never get back!

The movie looks like a weak fan made movie and I seen fan films that look better than this. The effects in the movie are inferior terrible. I have seen video games on the Nintendo Entertainment System, Atari 2600, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis and Playstation combine that have better graphics and quality than this movie. It should serve as a red flag for anyone interested in watching the movie that you will not be seeing good effects.

The characters are simply awful. You got some of the worst characters that you don't care about from the get go and they should be treated like trash along with never being created in the first place. This movie is enough to make you sick.

Do yourself a favor and avoid at all cost!

I give Bikini Girls Vs Dinosaurs an 1 out of 10.

Magma: Volcanic Disaster
(2006)

So boring.
This movie is so boring that it took me four days to watch it after each time I try to watch it I fell asleep.

Rarely does a movie ever make me fall asleep but this one sure did it at least good enough to put you to sleep.

Magma: Volcanic Disaster is another science fiction movie where once again the world is in danger and it is up to a team of scientists to save the day.

Just the same old song and dance that has done before only this time the movie has fallen on it face.

There are lot of red flags in this movie that should've as a warning for how bad this movie was going to be.

For starters in the beginning the first team got killed off in some of the worst death scenes in any movie. The lava special effects are what ruins the movie. I have seen video games that had better graphics than this movie. The lava was so fake that I couldn't even imagine what the special effects supervisor was thinking about.

Even the acting is just.....I can't believe that this movie casted Xander Berkeley and Amy Jo Johnson as Dr. Peter Shepherd and Brianna Chapman respectively. They were the only two who gave a credible performance while the rest of the cast just is what it is.

After finishing Magma: Volcanic Disaster last night I can honestly say that I am not going to watch it again because of how boring it was.

If you want to watch a volcano movie look else like Volcano 1997 and Dante's Peak.

I give Magma: Volcanic Disaster a 3 out of 10.

It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown!
(1974)

It's The Easter movie for all ages
If you are a fan of Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts gang then this is the one Easter special for you.

It's The Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown! Follows the gang as they prepare to celebrate Easter in their own way.

Linus tells them about the Easter Beagle while Sally dismisses it as like the Great Pumpkin and Lucy is determined to prove her brother wrong while Charlie Brown always has his doubts on the holidays. Peppermint Patty and Marcie are trying to make Easter Eggs while Marcie seems to confuse the concept of making Easter Eggs

The story gives the classic Peanut experience along with the classic example of the meaning of Easter. So you can enjoy the movie with all members of the family.

The voice is done every well and is full of moments as each character expresses their own thoughts on Easter along with fun moments.

The animation is very well done and you can really see the smoothness and attention to details in the animation as the handdrawn work is very appreciated.

Overall It's The Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown! Is a must watch for any fan of the Peanuts and to enjoy on Easter.

I give It's The Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown! A 10 out of 10

Happy Easter!

Bullet Train
(2022)

If there is one thing I can't is wasting my time
How can anyone find this movie remotely entertaining?

Bullet Train is without a shadow of a doubt one of the worst movies I ever lay eyes upon.

The movie starts off with a possible worthy entertaining movie but as the story goes on the movie just makes me feel like I am going around in circles as you get introduce to characters who make the movie more or less less appealing.

They literally make your mind feel like it is being twisted around with all the weird camera angles it makes it feels like you are on a roller coaster.

The acting is ridiculous no I am wrong the acting makes you lose interest in the movie as the cast clearly don't know what kind of movie they are making and the character names are not even close to being worthy of being on toys let alone a motion picture.

With the violet graphic blood scenes it makes you feel sick I have seem some graphic things in movies but this is a good reason to avoid this so called movie especially with vomiting blood which is disgusting.

Do yourself a favor and watch anything but Bullet Train it is awful.

I give Bullet Train a 1 out of 10.

Spree Lunch
(1957)

Popeye Vs Bluto
Spree Lunch is a classic 1957 short cartoon with Popeye and Bluto running diners who are too close and it turns into a battle for one customer, Wimpy.

Throughout the whole cartoon the two fight to get Wimpy even when he offers to pay for the meal later. They pull out all stops to make sure they get Wimpy as a customer.

It is a all out brawl.

The animation is well done with the smoothness on the character models the backgrounds and more they really did their best to bring the animation to life.

The voice acting is very good as the cast performs to the best of their ability to bring the classic characters voices we know them For.

Overall this short cartoon of Popeye is a must watch And will definitely make you laugh

I give Spree Lunch an 10 out of 10.

Jurassic Fight Club
(2008)

Where did they go wrong?
When you get a new documentary on Dinosaurs you should expect interesting facts and pictures and animations works on Dinosaurs but here it is just like if you hired wrestling writers to make a show about dinosaurs.

Jurassic Fight Club at the time seem like a show I would watch because I enjoyed watching documentaries about Dinosaurs as they were very interesting animals.

But here is a example of why you shouldn't make a ridiculous argument about Dinosaurs.

Because here they make them seem like bloodthirsty creatures who are some kind of bloodlust to hunt and kill any animal in their way. Even the narrator would make such remarks about how evil these animals were. The paleontologists they would have on the show would be supporting the idea and even insulting a few dinosaurs with untrue claims of these animals all for the use of making a fighting show.

There are much better documentaries out there that will be better than this show I rather watch old documentaries that had better animation than this show.

Avoid Jurassic Fight Club at all cost.

The Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat
(1982)

The Cat In The Hat gets Grinches
Dr. Seuss two famous characters The Cat In The Hat and The Grinch meet for the first time in this crossover tv special.

The Grinch (voiced by Mason Adams) starts his day in a good mood until his reflection gets him to repeat the Grinch's oath.

" A Grinch is unhelpful, unfriendly, unkind, with ungracious thoughts, in an unhealthy mind. A Grinch is uncheerful, uncouth, and unclean. Now say this together: I'M FRIGHTFULLY MEAN! My eyes are both shifty, my fingers are thrifty. My mouth will not smile, not half of an inch! I'm a Grinch! I am a Grinch. I'M A GRINCH! "

Then the Grinch makes his dog Max (voiced by Frank Welker) help in his plot to make the day of The Cat In The Hat (voiced by Bob Holt) as awful as possible.

The voice acting is very good as both Mason and Bob give their best to give different voices for Grinch and Cat in the Hat which helps make the characters stick out. Bob also works as the Narrator both Frank and Mason voice other characters to even out the playing field for the special.

The music matches the style of Dr. Seuss cartoons and each piece of music helps the story as it progresses. Along with original songs for the cartoon that the Grinch and the Cat in the Hat sing. With my favorite song being "Master of Everyone's Ears" as the Grinch being a threat to the Cat in the Hat my second favorite song in the special is "Did You"? The song the Cat in the Hat sings as he questions why the Grinch is the Grinch.

The animation is superb with some of the smoothest animations in any cartoon as the characters could be believable like they came out of the books along with the background look like the books. The team really took their time to bring the special to life. Especially with the efforts that went into the effects that were use in the special.

Overall for a crossover special it is a good attempt for fans of the characters it definitely is something not to be missed

I give The Grinch grinches The Cat In The Hat an 8 out of 10.

Wayne's World
(1993)

Wayne's World video game oh my.
Wow What a totally amazing excellent Game...Not!

Wayne's World is one of the funniest movies of the 90s with endless quotes to this day.

So why oh why oh why did anyone thought it would be such a good idea to make a video game based off the movie was a great idea?

This game is just beyond ridiculous that no honor can be savaged.

This is one of the worst games I've ever played. If I had known how bad this game was going to be I would have never lay eyes on it.

Graphics in this game are so bad that it quickly makes you question the sanity of the developers. You have drums, guitar strings And other things on the screen that was beyond boring plus traps all over the place It makes you want to turn the game off.

The controls makes the game unplayable as you try to push buttons to get the game to at least play.

Gameplay and sound is terrible more than anything it will give you an headache.

Wayne's World was released on Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo. But regardless the game is not worth putting in your collection.

I give Wayne's World an 1 out of 10.

1923
(2022)

How is this connected to Yellowstone?
Yellowstone has definitely become one of the most talked about shows in the history of television.

There is no doubt about that. Because the show features characters that feel real and that series feature finest writing.

1923 however is not like that. I already seen enough to say I have no desire to watch more of this "Prequel".

Calling this a prequel to Yellowstone is a bad idea because it features characters whom have no relations to the main characters in the series.

Plus they have a set of characters that I already despise and are one of the reasons I am giving this series a bad review because of them they push me away from ever watching this series. Who allows a priest and nuns to beat a child and threaten harm to them? This series characters are some of the Worst ever out on tv.

Yellowstone fans will definitely be disappointed.

Rumble Roses
(2004)

Rumble Roses is definitely a must
If you ever wanted to play a wrestling video game with the whole roster is only women then Rumble Roses is the game you are looking for.

Konami and Yuke's join forces to create this unique game.

Like all wrestling games the object is to win by pin fall or submission by performing various moves to help you in your quest to victory.

The game graphics are amazing as the women in the game look like they motion capture wrestlers to make them lifelike and they make the entire effort worth while as each wrestler looks amazing. The arenas look great as well especially with the crowd looking like actual fans instead of the normal look we are use to.

The music in the game play definitely fits the feel along with each wrestler's theme song. Also it is worth mentioning that each wrestler has a Babyface or Heel persona that gives them different themes along with different appearances to match their heel and babyface.

The Story mode allows each wrestler to be apart of the game as we learn more about the tournament each wrestler was invited to. However this is where some of the game hurts as the voice acting most characters feel lazy while some get better dialogue. It just feels like they just took whatever work the voice actors could give and run with it. Due to that it feels half baked.

Also the controls in the game take some time to learn as things are not exactly what you would expect in a wrestling game it was again like they were running with what they had as you have to press a button code to get the game to play.

The gameplay allows for unique wrestling moves that make WWE games look soft.

Overall Rumble Roses while has it flaws can't not be missed and would be a interesting game to have to play

I give Rumble Roses an 7 out of 10.

DC Nation's Farm League
(2012)

One and done
After seeing one episode of DC Nation Farm League to say it made me sick would be a understatement.

I wasted two minutes of my time that I won't be getting back.

This is Teen Titans Go level bad who in their right mind would have brought this series to life?

I should have turned it off from the moment I lay eyes on it. The animation is beyond awful the characters are ugly and the backgrounds look like kindergarten level drawings that shows why some ideas should never become a reality.

DC comics should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this kind of animation cartoon to be created.

It is pure awful do not waste your time.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire: 2nd Edition
(2000)

Exactly what you expect from a game show game.
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire 2nd Edition served as a update/sequel to the first game only this time with different questions and more ways to win

Regis Philbin is featured in the game exactly like he did in the tv show however they make him seems to be a bully in the game which hurts the fun of playing the game unfortunately.

But still the game is a faithful recreation of the popular game show at the time and you have to answer 15 questions to win the game.

You will not go in alone as the game lifelines are created like they were in the show 1. 50/50 helps eliminate two of the wrong answers to a question only to leave the right answer and one wrong answer

2. Poll the audience is used to where the audience will ofter their opinions on what the answer is to the question

3. Phone a Friend is perhaps the most interesting one out of the three as Regis calls one of his friends to help give a answer to the question that might or might not be right it is a gamble.

It is a simple but Challenge game that will test your knowledge of topics

Overall the game is like the show in many ways that will test your rage.

I give Who Wants To Be A Millionaire 2nd Edition an 7 out of 10.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
(1983)

By the Power Of Greyskull
"He-man and the Masters of The Universe

I am Adam, Prince of Eternia, Defender of the secrets of Castle Grayskull.

This is Cringer, my fearless friend.

Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic sword and said "By the power of Grayskull, I have the power!"

Cringer became the mighty BattleCat and I became He-man, the most powerful man in the universe.

Only three others share this secret: our friends the Sorceress, Man-At-Arms and Orko. Together we defend Castle Grayskull from the evil forces of Skeletor."

The 1980s deliver some of the most powerful and classic cartoons ever and He-Man And the Masters of The Universe is No exception.

The series follows Prince Adam who with the help of his magic sword transformed into He-Man the strongest man in the Universe along with his friend Cringer who is scared of everything but when transformed into Battlecat he is a force of good.

As with the help of their friends Man At Arms, The Sorceress, Orko and Teela join together to battle Skeletor the most evil being in the universe.

The show also had a lot of valuable lessons after each episode along with showing how the Battle of Good vs Evil stories should be written.

The cast you can tell gave it their best with their respective characters. The writers also help wrote a good series of stories that helps characters grow with the audience.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe really knew how to create a series that stood out with among some of the best shows of the 80s.

The series is a must watched for anyone who appreciates good stories and characters.

The Grinch
(2018)

Did we really need this Movie?
First off I waited to the dvd for The Grinch because I already enjoyed the original Grinch and the live action Grinch movie I saw twice in theaters.

The Grinch is a CGI retelling Of the Dr. Seuss How The Grinch Stole Christmas. The Grinch is voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch and to his credit he manages to deliver a good performance and made a voice that helps makes the Grinch the Grinch.

The animation is fantastic which helps make the movie watchable and the Whos look like they were taking from the book to give them a more realistic look.

However they really ruined the classic "You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch" and did a butcher rap song that really destroyed the song and makes you want to turn the sound off. Shame on you for doing so.

I give The Grinch an 7 out of 10.

Alice in Wonderland
(1951)

We're all mad here
Well the time has come to review the Lewis Carroll classic turned into the Walt Disney animation motion picture Alice In Wonderland.

Now I always appreciate animation especially the early days but this one doesn't rank up there for me as it is just like as the quote goes "We're all mad here"

It definitely shows that as the characters that Alice encounter either help her or drive her crazy with their logic of thinking.

The animation while offer some glorious art work as hand drawn is always appreciated however there are moments that make you question the animators thinking as they really drive you crazy with all the scenes that test your sanity.

The music as always in A disney movie goes the extra mile as well the voice acting is good.

It just the story for Alice in Wonderland really makes your head spin and question why you watch the movie.

I know not all animation movies are going to be gold while many consider Alice In Wonderland a masterpiece this time it is not.

I give Alice In Wonderland an 5 out of 10.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
(2022)

The madness of this movie was nonsense
It is one thing to mislead the audience with trailers to your movie but when you do it like they did in this movie then we're all mad here.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse Of Madness is the sequel to the first Doctor Strange and the 28th Marvel Cinematic Universe this is perhaps the last MCU movie I'll ever watch. Because if this movie is the clear intention of the franchise then I don't know if I want to follow the storyline anymore.

It just not as fun as it use to be and without of doubt this movie has turn the series off for me.

Especially the climax with what happens to Doctor Strange has the worst effects of CGI I have ever seen and it really help ruin the movie. Along with the moments that was unnecessary.

The only good performance from the cast goes to Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda/ Scarlet Witch her performance is top notch as she made you get interest in what she will do next. The rest of the cast were there just to get a pay check and were also under contract to do the movie.

The story was just completely nonsense and if it was not for Elizabeth Olsen performance I would have left the movie theater because of the movie drags out.

Along with how they did some of the kills in the movie it was just horror movie style.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse Of Madness Is only for fans but this movie was just too much to bare.

I give Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness an 5 out of 10.

Being the Ricardos
(2021)

A slap in the face to the queen of Comedy
What is with all these movies that are "Based on a true story" that just seems to be full of lies?

Being The Ricardos is "based off the lives" of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. This movie only disrespect the legacy of I Love Lucy one of the greatest shows ever made.

The acting in this movie is simply put awful I couldn't even get into the movie after how badly the cast were performing.

Plus they focus the movie on the family drama and sex scenes between the characters. Come on no one wants to see that kind of junk in a motion picture. Especially when it is based on Lucille and Desi lives.

I only gave the movie 20 minutes and I wish I didn't even give it that.

Do not ever watch this movie it is a disrespectful movie to I Love Lucy and should never had seen the light of day.

Being The Ricardos gets an 1 out of 10.

Friday Night Lights
(2006)

A series I couldn't stand
I knew I would have to review this series sooner or later so I might as well get it over with.

As someone who has bad experiences at High School this series didn't help at all as it brought back too many painfully memories and why I finished this series well half the series I'll never know.

This series had too many storylines going on at once which made it hard to enjoy along with having backstabbing characters that focus too much on the drama and sex.

The series just got worst as it went on and adding characters that didn't know what they were doing didn't help.

When the final episode aired it was such a terrible show that I was ready to say goodbye and move on. To this day I refuse to watch the reruns nor collect the show on dvd.

Don't ever watch this show.

Jeff Dunham: Beside Himself
(2019)

Keep PC away from comedy
PC has really ruin entertainment and this is the proof when you got comedians who can't make a joke that they are used to.

Jeff Dunham shows that when he try to make jokes that are PC makes them forced and I barely laugh at this show only about four times I chuckle other than that I am very disappointed.

Comedy is about making jokes and all of sudden we got snowflakes cry babies who get their feelings over jokes and Jeff you should be ashamed that you chose this path when it comes to making jokes. All you did was ruin your puppet characters and took away the fun of watching this comedy.

So if you want to get a good laugh you be better off avoiding this comedy

Jeff Dunham: Beside Himself gets a 4 out of 10.

Sugar & Spice
(2001)

Sugar & Spice and everything bad
Only a person desperate for entertainment would even entertain the idea of watching Sugar & Spice.

This movie turns out to be one of the biggest waste of time that no amount of honor can be savage.

Such nonsense for this movie that nothing can ever be saved from the bad experience of watching this movie

I can't justify the disgust I have for this movie that I am sorry I have to make a review of this movie but it has to be done. It is a example of some movies that should never see the light of day.

I give Sugar & Spice an 1 out of 10.

The Happytime Murders
(2018)

A waste of imagination
I had made a vow to avoid Melissa McCarthy movies but of course sooner or later I got curious and Now I wished I never lay eyes on it.

It is also disappointing that I have to waste my time and review skills on this movie adding it to the movies I review. But I am a professional so I will just review the movie as it was bound to happen.

The Happytime Murders is the story that has been done over and over only this time the protagonists are a human detective and a puppet Private Detective.

It is such a shame that they wasted puppet work from the Hensons crew who are known for their legendary work and set the bar for Puppet works.

This however was just behind ridiculous it was vulgar and disgusting. To think so many puppeteers actually work on this movie. But clearly the puppets were often use for bad jokes about sex and drugs.

Plus having the villain being predictable makes it a waste of time.

Everything about this movie is awful do yourself a favor and never waste your time with this movie. The acting is awful, the script is just same old along with disgusting puppet work.

I give The Happytime Murders an 1 out of 10.

See all reviews
