Show Them Who You Are, Baby
There are underlit scenes and covers and so much poor quality and bad acting. Trace Adkins leans against walls and intoned his lines. Young Dottie is played by Susan Sarandon’s real life kid Eva Amurri. This show is horrible and gets more horrible. Tanya Tucker features. The family are big on turning pain into prose. This ( Read more... )

Mindhorn (2016)

A washed up tv actor, Richard, has to revisit his role as an 1980s tv detective when a killer strikes. Richard is an ass. This was not funny and is full of annoying untalented actors. Russell Tovey, Simon Callow, Steve Coogan and Kenneth Brannagh feature. This was mediocre.

Best Lines:

“Step away from the actor.”

“What you said about ( Read more... )

'The Stranded' promo

Schoolkids, dubbed, an island, a red moon, a tsunami, a tape, a voice, water, a boat and a staircase and a cave. There are dramatic turns and vines.

Best Line:

“Why hasn't anyone come to rescue us?”

What was with the Poe?

I like the doughnut hat.

Hostages
Drugs are done. Scottie plots. Tom ponders. Howard doesn’t fall for Scottie’s crap. Scottie is evil. A kidnapper must be foiled. There are twists. Scottie goes on about sworn enemies and Tom is busted. This was okay.

Best Lines:
“I’ll turn you into a pair of shoes.”

“I thought your confusion was benign.”

“Doesn’t sound like he’s bluffing.”

New Day Rising
Barnes rages in unrelenting fashion. Penguin and Riddler have emotional instability. Alice bores. There are no credible character choices or psychological complexity or moral conflict or emotional engagement. Bruce is completely convinced of his own righteousness. Alfred does a lot of angry talking and has no life of his own. I ( Read more... )

Happy Endings
Where do they get medication and syringes? Why does nobody ride bikes? Rachel is still caked in bronzer and nude lipstick. Stephen Collins, Stephen Culp and Cotter Smith feature. The White House has been reoccupied by the alleged POTUS (Smith). He has a suit on. How do they have a working iron? How much time has passed since 1x01? ( Read more... )

Mis Dos Padres
Charlie aka Bratniss lectures her grandfather. Monroe has a son. HOW many kids does he have?!? Miles and Monroe are contentious. Neville and his big haired wife exchange barbs. This is not admirable for what it was trying to do. There is a swimming pool. The inherent darkness of the premise isn’t done ultra-seriously. Rachel has ( Read more... )

‘The Remains’ (2016) trailer
A family move into a new house. There are kids in hot pants and a mysterious chest and ghosts. This has to be better than ‘Demonic’. There is a doll’s house, gurning and creepy dolls and doors that open. This looks obvious. Where’s the mommy? Daddy gets an axe and there is yelling.

Best Line:
“Social séances.”

‘Arrow’ ( Read more... )

Bella and Edward simper at each other as they marry. Bella’s dad (Billy Burke of ‘Revolution’) has somehow acquiesced to his teenager daughter marrying a distasteful abuser and doing nothing with her life. Walking shirtless scene Jacob takes his shirt off. Bella’s mother gives her a hairclip. How did ( Read more... )
