Nutcrackers (2024)
ITS A CUTE MOVIE
DON'T BOTHER WITH ANY OTHER REVIEWS. THEY'RE GRINCHES.
Its a cute movie, i cried at the ending. Yeah is it obvo how it'll end yes. But most movies today you know. Its cute and funny. I have ADHD and was working while watching this and i was able to follow along and watch it all. Idk what ppl mean by lackluster? They're used to Ben Stiller being crazy and angry? Its not his typical comedy.
Is it a holiday movie not really, but its a sad story about some wild home school but sweet kids who lose their parents and their uncle from the big city who they barely know has to come take care of them. And they end up becoming a family. It was cute. And its nice not seeing ben stiller in crazy anger mode. The ending was so cute. Could there have been a lil more what will happen next? Maybe but over all cute.
Rivals (2024)
Can't get enough
Although I would rather not see ppl fullly nude, knowing they have real life relationships and kids to come home too lol I just love it and can't get enough.
Just finished watching it for the 2nd time. Caught stuff i didn't the first time. I want more! Such a great cast!
And although cheating is never good. They do a good job explaining and showing why people cheat for many different reasons. They show character developments & falls.
Spoiler well I'll keep it simple. I was glad someone decided to go back to work. She was clearly looking for validation in men where she could have been getting it from working. But being so remote there wasn't any work in her desired passion. Its only fair he got to do his thing, she should be able to as well. He couldn't expect her to wait around all day at home. Their kids were basically grown. Glad it didn't just end with her cheating, but finding herself again. I think there still could be hope for saving that marriage. As for some of the others. They need to grow a back bone and just leave their partners. But it was harder back then esp. For women in the 80s. Not until they found someone else. Women are more likely to stay with a man when they're unhappy. Where as a man will just cheat and stay with her because it makes his image look good. If you watch the show you know lol
it was real, funny & witty. Great acting & writing! Really hope its renewed for a 2nd, 3rd and 4th season!!!
United States of Al (2021)
Worth watching if you want to understand more from a light hearted show!!!
I think a lot of people missed the point of this show. It brings facts or stereotypes from Afghanistan. I will admit Idk what is true or not, but it gives a neat perspective. From a good guy from there who helped americans, like many others from Afghanistain. The least we could do is treat them with respect like we would our neighbor. Yes there is some humor, but I often find I tear up at least once. I'm Canadian, so I dont know how it is in the U. S. But I try to be as welcoming as I can be to refugee families. Think about it they have heard real actually bombs go off on a reg. Basis. We really have it good in North America, yet we treat outsiders terrible before they have even done something bad. Yes some ppl from their country have done bad, but so have we to them. We shouldn't judge a whole race of ppl on the terrible acts of some of their people, like I said we've done the same back to them. No one is better than the next. This show sheds lots of light on facts and stereotypes. It makes me wanna be a better person.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018)
IF YOU LOVED THE ORIGINAL DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME
I understand that a couple years ago they created a comic book version which was darker. However ENOUGH HOLLYWOOD with taking already existing TITLES & the characters names and instead of adding on to already great stories, you make something completely different!!! Stop piggy backing off the success of already existing shows! Enough with the dark stuff too. No wonder those lil girls in the states thought the devil was cool. its sick! I know theres always been satan stuff, and I love love witch craft. but what I've learned its theres a lot of good magic out there.
2 things that were positive was that yes they addressed transgenders & women empowerment. Personally I already thought Sabrina was this powerful female in the original show in the 90s!
I liked how they 1st addressed the transgenders. However I do not agree with violence fixing the problem. That was a teacher she did not agree with and although he was wrong. This show was saying its ok to fight against Authority. Riverdale already has teens completely going against authority and doing stuff no respectful parent would allow their kids to do. She could have handled it by goign to the school board or something like that. Teacher do listen to kids now. There are still some bad apples, however they are getting better. I got the whole boys will be boys when i was teased and went to a female teacher in the 90s. I get it! however Violence is not the solution!!
Now to break it down... Bad acting.. hated the setting. I love Vancouver but i knew every single spot they were at because its used right now in every show out there!!! Worse casting! I kept wanting to punch the main actress, sorry but you were annoying. I almost stopped watching half way but i suffered though the rest still hoping it would get better.
For the casting only thing they got right besides Sabrina being blonde... was that her aunts. 1 evil skinny(which was never evil only strict in the original) & 1 chubby nice one.. REALLY their weight was your concern.
I would 1000000% more rather they did a reboot of the original! they could have still included todays topics(trans/gays etc). Even if they had it where this was focused around Sabrina's daughter and dealing with some evil dark stuff.. BUT WITH THE ORIGINAL CAST!!
I mean how could you not make Salem talk!! And yes he was a sarcastic rude cat which made it funny! I would much rather binge the original right now because i bet i'd catch a bunch of adult jokes I never got back then. I heard 1 rumor its because the girl they cast was allergic to cats. I am sorry but I know tons of ppl who are and they can still be near my cats, even pet them. They just have to wash their hands. Some ppl have even stayed with me 3 days and lived.
Someone said this was chilling and clever.. What was chilling about it.. or clever... reminded me of so many other shows. 1 nothing was chilling about it, it was so basic. But it felt like they were trying to rip off supernatural.. Which is yes also filmed in Vancouver and filmed at every location This show went too!!! But they acting and story lines are 100000 x better in supernatural. It also felt like they were ripping all that failed spin off from Pretty little liars. Ravenswood? Teens & supernatural. It also had twilight vibes which was again FILMED AT THE SAME LOCATIONS.... btw i lived in Vancouver 6 years.. its not that gloomy and grey all the time. But all these shows try and give it that feel. Personally didnt buy it.
Oh last thing.. did they relaly have to repeat each others name 500 every time they talked. I noticed this alot when Harvey and Sabrina were talking. in a 1 min she mentioned his name usually 3-5 times. NO ONE DOES THAT!!!
The Package (2018)
Not worth your time, off the cuff and not in a good way. Turned it off
Not well written at all. Clearly the people who gave any kind of review over a 5 star haven't seen classics like Goonies, Stand by me, Now and then & Sandlot. All classic coming of age movies. Never once laughed at their jokes in this movie, they were too forced. like dumb and dumber. Just because you had a Ha at the end doesn't make it funny.
Not even close to being believable that the girls and boys ever liked each other. Each pairing.
Also didn't believe that the girl or the boy have ever smoked pot. But of course they had to put that in the story line because they think thats what everyone does. They look like the kids that maybe tried it once in college. And just looked up the guy, he didnt try until he was in college.. Case closed worse acting.
I won't lie i stopped after the kid cut off his... Like really. That's what is funny now. Maybe they went into it later one, but they 1st made the experience a joke. Instead of hey maybe not do this, but no parents let their kids do whatever more than ever and don't teach them right from wrong.
This movie reminds me of kids I knew in HS that would make a movie on the weekend. Not well written, off the cuff.
Oh i just saw that someone called this a late night stoner movie.. I don't have to smoke pot to know the answer to that will always be DAZED AND CONFUSED!! This movie doesn't come close to that. I could keep on going. American Pie series is a better version of what a buddy comedy should be!!!
I would love to support the lead male Daniel because he is from Vancouver, BC. But including this movie and the last one he did for Netflix. I cannot get into them. It gets to a point and its like of course they went this way. Someone talked about ppl giving extreme ratings. But these movies are going to the extreme for comedy. Like back in the day would have been just a finger, but today you need it to be a dick to be funny? Who is that stupid to play with a knife while peeing on a cliff. Then his friends thought it was funny to throw a walking stick at him. I know I am only a few years older than these actors, but i wanted to slap all the males over the head for acting the way they were. Like its not funny to act that way. Idk if that was their point in the movie. but cutting off someones dick, I almost threw up. Not what i was expecting while watching this movie. A finger would have been fine.
Also I know if i was watching this late night, i would fall a sleep and thats rare for me. I watch tv shows and movies daily in the background, but this one actually made me change it.
Private Eyes (2016)
Canadian show at best
I've watched many Canadian shows. Murdoch mysteries is still a favorite. This is another show sticking true to being Canadian, filmed in Toronto and they aren't pretending it's American! The humor is adorable. A lead woman that's not afraid to put her male counterparts in place. You've got the witty grandpa, sweet but smart daughter. With a twist she's blind. I feel like there is something for everyone. I find most TV shows today are dry and leave you feeling crappy. I actually look forward to this show and was so excited To hear it was renewed for a 2nd season! PLEASE keep it going.
If you don't like this show. You aren't Canadian! :P
Girlboss (2017)
Spoiled Brat
I've tried giving this show a shot, probably on its 4-5 an already regret it. I might watch one or 2 more but doesn't change what I think..
This girl is in no way empowered or inspiring. I am actually scared of what little girls are going to think watching this show..
This woman is 23, steals, gets fired for talking back to her boss, stealing, well not doing her job at all and more!. All because she doesn't know who shes gonna be at 23!!! I am 28, still don't really know what I am going to do I went back to school at 23 for interior deigns! I had a full time job and full time school while doing it! No help from parents or anyone, but you don't see me being entitled or a brat! She only got lucky from finding a jacket and then having to sell it cause she can't pay rent. Oh and she sells it on a website EVERYBODY USED TO MAKE MONEY! OMG she's so smart... Then she notices she makes money off it and decides to go find more clothes to sell..
The way she treats everyone including her best friend and boyfriend who stay by her side no matter how much shes a bitch, rude and annoying.
This show is unrealistic!!! How many times she steals just because and doesn't get in trouble! How people stay even tho she's the world biggest bitch to her friends and family. Then gets lucky with a career selling stuff online. PLEASE STOP NETFLIX, you are creating a world of ungrateful lil brats!!! Who will never become something, because they GIVE UP TO EASILY!!! I was actually looking forward to this being a good inspiring business story. Instead its about a spoiled brat. Which now my co worker is mad at me because I pointed this out to her and she thinks its a great story.. she 21, and thinks her bf should have been picked for a promotion, but instead says he didn't get it because his too young.. Not because he had no experience. His 25, his not too young, and no they shouldn't give him a chance just because.
It seems only spoiled brats like this show because they think they are going to become rich off posting pictures on Instagram...
