Road House (2024)

Forced Casting
22 March 2024
Casting felt very forced which pulls you out of the story. Jake does a good job. Some of the fighting scenes were interesting. You could tell this was a very new Hollywood update of a classic movie. Some of the dialogue needed work.

McGregor was also an odd choice. His permanent smiling expressions and him walking like he had hemorrhoids was very hard to move past. Sometimes you couldn't understand what he was even saying.

Overall the movie was fun and if youre looking for a time killer its an okay option but I would probably just stick to the classic movie where the story and characters feel less contrived.

Netflix does unbiased badly- again
1 March 2024
They leave a lot of facts out of the case to build a very specific narrative of murder. They accuse Reagan of stealing an election from American voters and wanting hostages to have bad outcomes so that he would look better. I dont know what I was expecting from Netflix who is a very bias group but I always just hope that they will do better.

This series is long winded, slow, and full of partisan conspiracies of yesterday. I believe that they try to rewrite the past to try to redirect the present and future. If you're looking for something to not brainwash you with absurdity I would look elsewhere.

Regressive Premise in Plot
20 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
There was an offensive and regressive part where they make it a point to show a man can play women better than a woman can. They get excited in the movie that its historically accurate because only men were allowed to play women back in the day and were excited and celebrated it. Woman-face in these scenarios was something that women had to overcome, its not an exciting thing to regress back in to. I found it an annoyingly oppressive method of trying to insert "progress".

It was a pretty short and light movie but I think we could all do without movies that oppress women with woman-face. Its uncomfortable to think women are expected to shut up, be kind, and encourage these men as they morph into caricatures of woman and wear us like a skin suit especially in movies where they lay it out as these men just do it better.

Overacting
9 December 2023
The overacting in this movie was unbearable. We were not able to make it through the whole thing. It seems like the writing could have possibly been impacted by the writers strike? The movie was aggressively vulgar in attempt to be funny. They tried too hard and the product was extremely cringey. If you combine the aggressive writing with the heavy overacting it makes for a very bad movie. Salma Hayeks character doesnt even make sense. She plays the bodyguards psycho violent wife but it was so overdone not just from her acting and yelling but from the writing of that character. Beyond that character, several scenes in the first half didn't make sense. There was no "why" behind any actions which left the storyline disjointed.

Awful Toxic Energy
11 March 2023
Every single time Rachel disagrees with a design decision she turns it into a personal attack and acts like her workers are stupid for even suggesting something they didn't read her mind to come up with. She is aggressively angry at everything the entire time. Just once I was hoping she would see something she didnt like and simply sat "no, actually I would prefer this". I hope she is paying Michael a ton of money because no one deserves this treatment, especially when he is so eager to make her happy. I loved her cooking shows but I am absolutely horrified by her personality now. I hope she gets therapy and treats people better.

Long Movie, Poorly Written, Bad Actress
24 September 2022
The acting from the lead female role was hard to get through. Her facial expressions were really insincere and her line delivery was bad. The lead guy was fine.

Without spoiling it, a lot of the writing was done poorly. A lot of the situations were unrealistic but not in a cheesy chick flick kind of way where its still enjoyable. Much of the movie was so out of the realm of logic and reality that it was painful.

They could have cut out about 50% of the indelicately plopped down romantic trip in Italy cliches and the movie could have been better and shorter. By the end you are begging for the credits to come.

Inaccurate Military Ops/Bizarre Action Scenes
8 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
They should have hired someone with prior service to tell them how military operations work. If they did hire someone with prior service to advise they probably were not in very long or they were not heard. You cannot give someone a honorable discharge and take away their retirement, thats what a dishonorable discharge is for. I do not think what he was kicked out for is even accurate, in the past I've seen people with substance abuse issues simply be encouraged to undergo rehabilitation programs.

There is also a scene where he is trying to guess a password on an iPad and the questions he's asking are so ridiculous.

The way guns are handled is very bizarre.

The action choices dont make any sense. Youre being shot at by like 10 people why are you dropping in a concrete slope you can barely get out of? How are all of these people missing you when you are the only person against a grey background and stuck? Why are you popping back out in the same place you committed a crime during day time to get things out of your truck? Where are all the cops still investigating? How did no one see the truck just sitting there after a terrorist attack?

If you're looking for a time filler this movie is almost not the worst thing ive seen, but if you want something good id go with something else.

Slow and Repetitive
25 August 2022
If you watch the first 30 minutes you watch the whole thing. If they had a point to make they could have made it with 1 single scenario instead of recreating the same scenario very slowly over and over again. This movie has nothing to say just meaningless boring repetitive actions with no real plot.

Get on with it Already
25 August 2022
This movie was ~2.5 hours long. Everything that was going to happen was extremely predictable but it was almost like it was walking through mud to make it happen. You know exactly which action is going to happen, it could be something very small or basic like picking something up and it will take 15 minutes to do it. This movie is boring and frustrating especially for the impatient. Dont waste your time.

Animal Cruelty first 5 min
16 August 2022
Within the first 5 minutes there is animal cruelty. If you dont like watching the torture of cute animals its possible the show isn't for you. I cut if off pretty quickly. Its a shame that the producers didnt have more sense than to open with that.

Instant Classic
14 August 2022
If you're in the mood for a chick flick romance that really hits hard this one is great. The actors are great and the story is nice. I could rewatch this movie several times and not be bored with it.

Its Okay, Bad Acting
11 August 2022
The movie wasnt terrible, wasnt great.

One of the main characters Jo Braddock was distractingly bad. Every line was delivered so weird. Her line delivery didn't flow naturally like they were part of a dialogue. They felt like just some random grandiose sentences that had no value. Very over practiced and way over delivered. Even her movements felt cheesy fake. She was in so many scenes it was making the entire movie feel more inauthentic.

Sometimes the leads action seemed a little more like a dance choreography but was still decently entertaining.

If you're bored and need a movie this is okay. You'll find yourself scrolling your phone a bit during but the movie is fine.

Fantastic Show
16 July 2022
This was the best show I have seen in a long time. It was great seeing Chris Pratt take on a different type of role. It was also refreshing seeing a movie come out in this quality that is politically neutral. I hope they come out with something else in the same caliber.

You could tell they wanted to make a great romance movie but it didn't work out. Very slow movie. Extremely hard to get through. The actors are very boring, the chemistry is not there, there is something that is off in the production and direction. The lead character delivers lines like shes about to fall asleep the whole time.

Best Treasure Show Ive Ever Watched
3 July 2022
This is the best treasure hunting show I've ever watched. You can tell these hunters have pissed a lot of people off, I am wondering if thats where all the bad reviews are coming from. I need the next season to come out. Im so hooked.

No... just.... No.
19 April 2022
Warning: Spoilers
A young sexy spy of a woman cannot sexually resist her primal urge to sleep with a man in his 70s? Very unrealistic. Every fight scene is very robotic with each move more predictable than the last because of course... why wouldn't it be? Every male actor is in their seventies. They tried to put make up on one of the male leads and had him work for a man they called "old man"... I'm guessing to draw contrast between their ages but it absolutely didnt work... they are all the same age. Such a weird movie.

Liked it, wished it was produced differently
16 January 2022
All the meat I wanted to see while watching the show they left for like the very end credits. I think it was because they wanted this specific part to have you wondering who in the room could be related to hicks but it was a bad sell. I would have rather had those other moments in the episode showing each of the potentials stories. I also didnt appreciate how they were piecing information with dramatic pauses to give the hicks babies... i felt like it was toying with them for the sake of production. I do like the show though and I hope they are able to continue.

The Story is Interesting the Interiors are...... wow
31 December 2021
I love this show! I enjoyed binge watching season 2 after work today. Its light. The interiors (her office, the remodeled restaurant, chamilles parents house, sylvies apartment) are gorgeous. Ive been trying to google paint colors and photos of the locations for hours after watching. I cant wait for season 3.

Unbelievably Horrible
25 December 2021
Truly have never watched such a bad christmas movie. It seems like the movie could have ended 30 different times and they kept going "but wait... and then.... One more thing.... Pls...." Like put an end to our misery already. Also if you work in tech the entire plot is painful.

Cant wait for the next season
13 September 2021
Very surprised by the passionately terrible reviews. The characters on this show are so interesting. I loved the way it progressed. My favorite story line was the one of the french chef, I found her life to be so interesting and entertaining. This is the type of show that makes you want to grow old with a group of girlfriends. I so hope its renewed for another season. I honestly would have loved more episodes in this one.

Husband is Most of the Show, the Least for the Business
25 October 2020
Edit after watching Season 2: I noticed in this latest season that the show is mostly about the husband Syd. He knows nothing about design it seems. I dont think he does any of the actual work? It was a lot of scenes about irrelevant things like his bike riding, inability to play basketball, and love for ice cream and sweets and the wife talking him up a lot in various scenes. It seems to me that she is putting so much attention on him because maybe she is shy to be in the spotlight? She built the business and designs these homes and has a team of people who assist her that I think would be more valuable to hear from than her husband. This show took a real down spiral for me as I mostly watched it for design and with expectation that I would hear from subject experts and instead its mostly about someone who knows nothing about it.
