  • Grotesque and Often Boring

    Never a big fan of Edgar Allan Poe. At first I thought this was okay and I actually stuck it out. But so much of it was silly and didn't make sense. I think the title should have been N'EVERMORE USHERS. Although there were some great actors in it and the asking was superb. Mark Hamill was great and so was Bruce Greenwood and Mary McDonald and all the actors played their part very well. I know it was well done. I just didn't like it. I'm not a big fan of the macabre. But I was bored and needed something to watch so I stuck it out to see what was what. I thought it was long and drawn out. I'm sure Poe did not mean this to be political. As political agendas were thrown in every now and then which also spoils the works of Poe. What was supposed to be horror? I found downright humorous at times. It wasn't scary. Just grotesque. I know it was a well done production because the actors were great. It just wasn't my cup of tea even though I watched it to the end :D.

  • Nonsense Low Budget Silly Horror Story

    I think this is the stupidest movie I've ever seen. It made no sense and just did a lot of scary little tricks and was not really enjoyable. I can't believe I stuck it out. I thought it was a series. Thank God it wasn't. I can't believe these stars would even take the role they took. They must be desperate. Good talents wasted. I'm not sure what they were trying to tell us but it absolutely made no sense. What was the ending supposed to mean the little kid was controlling the world. It just made no sense. I'm very disappointed that these actors took this role they took. I'm not sure what genre this wrote this movie was supposed to have taken, but it sure miss the mark.

  • A Heartfelt Soulful Movie

    Soul touching movie that is a beautiful and aesthetic movie that touches the human spirit beyond all boundaries. It is a coming of age story about a little boy, his family and his grandmother and an owl and the beautiful Mexican culture and the hardship of life after World War II. It is a story of good versus evil and the story of life. It is a movie beyond our current time although set in the 1940s the year I was born 1944 and that's when this movie starts. I found this to be a beautiful time piece about the true nature of life and living in a torn world after a world ripped apart from the savages of war.

  • Bicker Bicker Bicker

    First of all I'm not sure what agency is working with what agency. Will Trent is an FBI agent and then all these other people are there, the police and who knows who else. There may be lawyers I'm not sure. Not able to tell. The characters are not well defined and they're constantly disagreeing and bickering with each other. All the time they're bickering and nobody gets along with anybody. It's s wonder, they can't even seem to solve a crime. Just seems to be no defined storyline and mismatched characters. There's no camaraderie and there's no humor, no laughter. I know it's a crime show but you need a comic relief once in awhile. It just doesn't work. At least it doesn't work for me. If you enjoy people bickering and fighting with each other and blaming each other All the time it's a good show for you. Personally I don't enjoy this type of a show. The characters are boring and none of them get along or have any harmony together. There are no good matched going detectives, police or agents, they are hard and not likeable. The main character is very likable but the rest of the staff or whoever they are just don't seem to fit with each other. It seems to me the show was quickly put together to get ratings. Well my rating is low and so it's low you probably won't publish this. I do not like this show. Your competition is better than this.

  • Heartbreaking Beautiful Partial Biography of Elvis

    People born after 1970 are probably too young to appreciate the beauty and love this movie portrayed and the sad times of the era. You have to have been there. Elvis was 9 years older than me and he was a god and still is King. He was in the Army not the Air Force. (which is curious) They did change many things as is said beforehand in the movie. People of later generations most likely will not appreciate the full aspect of the late 50's and 60's excitement and turmoil and freedom achieved not having lived it, but can truly appreciate the turmoil of the times today. They are/were both dramatic and upheaval times for our Country. I found the movie dynamic and profound in memory of a troubled and loving human being who loved his music and was controlled by his fame and manager and sadly drugs. I think Tom Hanks and Austin Bulter should get hightest awards for their performances in bringing to life the two people - Elvis and Tom Parker. I think it's amazing how they can make a skinny person look heavy at the end and Unchained Melody did me in. Elvis was also a pawn of the doctors and managers who gave him drugs to perform they were much to fault. They would not let him rest. Elvis wanted to fulful his dream and he did somewhat but got very lost along the way. A sad movie and sad life. People either loved him or were afraid of him. Heartbreaking movie with wonderful Elvis songs!

  • Mumbo Jumbo Evangelist Oreaching

    I'm sorry I paid for this silly movie. I didn't realize it would be a bunch of mumbo jumbo religious nonsense. If you're an agnostic you will not enjoy this movie at all. However it was good to see Pat Boone looking so good at 94. That's actually why I watched it. But he's still the same old preachy guy, but I do have to say he looks terrific. I actually thought he was dead. He did very good in this movie and if you're into religion and idealistic unrealistic uplifting patronizing movies this is for you. I absolutely hate religious preachy movies. What makes one person better than another with their religious views?

  • Propaganda for Snake Worship

    This is all that I got from this. Propaganda for snake worship; he's saying that human beings all were created by reptile god beings or snake gods (reptilian). Ancient Aliens has much more information and is more fun to watch than this. This is just downright creepy with all the snakes and the single minded narrow mind of the narrator. He has a very vivid imagination who's ancient artifacts; many of the things in the beginning made a little sense but once he got into the reptilians he stayed with it and dhut his mind to other optins. I think he's just rooting for the snake people. I could do nothing but chuckle at this. Very poorly put together by the guy who's convinced that we come from snakes or a reptiles. Perhaps some do but I think there's many other beings that created the human race not just one. Just ask the Peiladians. :D kidding :)

  • Bad Acting and Too Many Characters

    A lot of pretty faces, but poorly written and no story line. Introduced too many main characters at once and left the beautiful dog with only a cameo at the end. Bad first episode, not sure if I'll watch the 2nd yet. What a shame and disappointment.

  • Comedic Amatuer Aliens Among Us

    Nice try but...Probably one of the silliest sci fi/fantasy movies I've ever watched. Amateurish, idealistic, as I'm watching it, it's really a comedy/love story. It's an Indie film and the acting is childish, like a couple of college kids put it together. It's supposed to be something about somebody seeing a UFO and then some dorky scientist young guy who's doing who knows what who can't figure out his equation and he meets a strange girl who's probably an alien but she looks a lot like Mandy from Last Man Standing and his kooky father who's not quite all with it, grief stricken amd a mess.

    Terrible acting yet it's fascinating to see what these youngsters did with it. If you can stick through the acting you might like it but it's kind of silly. It might have been better if they had a good director and real actors but the story itself is far fetched or maybe not. Who knows for sure.

    The only good moment is when the alien mother said "this world just isn't ready". The two pretty women in it are aliens, by the way they're beautiful aliens; beautiful women.

    Different locations exits in every object??? Very comedic movie about aliens among us., Yet who knows?

    Need I say more. Some is bent truth but trying to make liberals the ones NOT creating an idealust society, hiding truths from American citizens. We are a divided country and maybe will one day be a free country again but will more than likely be split into two Historty repeats, its the civil war all over again.

  • True?

    Beware of the word "true". Truth is very elastic and in the mind of the beholder. Interesting documentary however very very incomplete. More of a biography of Adam Weishaup. The world is filled with secret societies and conspiracies some of them are true and some of them are false have fun trying to figure it out. Personally who cares.

    It's the myth of the Illuminati that is fun and the Freemasons which are very alive and well today.

  • Stupid is as Stupid as Does

    Very discombobulated and silly. Jeremy Irons and Diane Keaton, (basically the only old people it) and Maggie Grace make the show if you can call it a show. I'm really sorry I wasted $5.99 on this movie as there's no story whatsoever, just a bunch of silly people. I don't even think it's funny. I say this is for the people in their 20s or 30s, I guess this could be a lifetime movie. Too many scenes that make no sense but just a lot of people getting together and making a lot of noise and goofy motions.

  • Scary and Creepy and Fundamentally Interesting

    Downright creepy. Fundamentalist indoctrination of an all male controlled fellowship fraternity, using Jesus as their foundation. Are there no women Christians or Jesus followers? And why must everyone believe their self rewritten indoctrination ideas? Where's the proof? This fellowship used President Trump and then dumped him. Beware of fundamentalist contol. Hitler in the name of Jesus. Scary stuff. These fundamentalist want world conrol. This was well done and interesting but leaves you thinking what the heck is going on and how many other secret societies are hiding in plain sight.

    Predictable from the getgo. If you love Hallmark movies you will love this. It was so predictable I found it very boring. And I paid $5.99 when I could just watch the silly Hallmark predictable movies.

  • It's All Been Said Before

    Same ole same ole.with different people re-presenting old old information, reinforcing disinformation. It's always fascinating revisiting the old speculations, but so much more has been revealed on other TV shows. The narrator sounds so sing song like a robot. This is UFO 101 for those just looking into the subject. Unidentified Aerial Phenomena - it's interesting in parts and the scenery is pretty, but a bit disappointing as it's just same old material being reinvented supposedly.. At this point in time, I'm starting to believe we are being played with by powers that be. :)
