A History of the World in Six Glasses (2024)
Refreshing in a time flat tv shows
Just watched the first episode. And, well,,,, its great. Most things you watch today are either good or good enough, sadly that's about it. This pole vaulted above and beyond good straight to great!
Not only entertaining but also informative. I ;earned somethings about beer that i didn't know.
The show has dan pouring beers to his buddies jim and george. It almost has the feeling that you are a patron a few stools away eavesdropping in on the conversation. The guys are funny and humorous in a natural way, just like friends sitting in a bar having a good time cant wait to see other episodes.
Well worth a watch!

The Great Food Truck Race (2010)
the great ?? race
Once a great show.... it just feels that is reduced/catering to uhhh ummmm lets just.say.a show for the 3.5 % of the population. I guess because..... 3.5% of people in hollywood just assume the rest of the 96.5% of us want to watch. Well you are wrong.
This season is really boring, no contestant is likable or relatable in any manner,
the food they make lacks inspiration (except for team eso)
i am 5 episodes in, and dont really care who win or loses' .
I would also like to see the.dd214 of all 3 of team members of." team southern pride"... all 3.....
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022)
a big freakin WOW!
Reminded me so much of the original star trek i loved as a kid. Anson mount is an excellent choice for pike. It was nice to see a young uhrah.
So far a decent story line. Reading between the lines it took the interference of a new world order ( United Federation of Planets ) to bring peace to foreign planet.
At this point it seems like a decent "age appropriate" family sci-fi to have some popcorn and just enjoy, honestly you cant say that about much television these days.
PLEASE!! Dont go woke on us.............
Adam Eats the 80's (2022)
1st episode lacks flavor
The guy hosting is sorta funny in the traditional way of an over weight guy eating food and useless commentary. I am very surprised they didnt add a laugh track to highlight the piss poor comedic attempts.
And the stupid masks!! You people are mumbling thru this muck of a program, and them you sheep are eating with out them in the same distance.
I would rather plunge an over filled toilet in the brooklyn subway, than watch another episode.
Army of the Dead (2021)
big budget netflix stinker
Is Hollywood dead? In the past, 3,4,5 years nothing great has spawned. This as a mismatch of other movies, thrown into a mixing bowl and served cold.....
it had potential, but it sucked. Like most movies today, it gets a participation trophy for trying.
The best part of the movie was watching Dave. Bautista die............
Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020)
i think its great!
I think its great, that gay black men are celebrated on the big and small screen!
viola davis was great considering what she had to work with, i think it was genuinely fantastic of an openly gay black mans portrayal of the early 20s. Chadwick Boseman....... so powerful of a movie, hje carried the whole movie and cast on his shoulders.
The Stand (2020)
its ok...... as there isnt much to watch any more.
I read the book and watched the mini series twice. the last time was about 5 months ago, so with that said...... the first episode ... ok. it dosent bore you and it dosent grip you either. its just the 1st episode, so its really hard to judge.with the exception of me reading and watching the mini series, i more than likely wouldn't bother watching another episode........ am i curious to watch episode 2? no....
with most stephen king books, they are good reading. do they make good.movies....yeah, uhmm.. well ... no.
as a side note, i dont care about heard or depp.... cancel culture only runs one way.
i will .... maybe.. watch the next episode. i dont think this will be of any entertainment besides as background noise as do your laundry
Penny Dreadful: City of Angels (2020)
a trash bag not quite full....
This just based on episode 1, and im willing to bet the rest of the season(?) is a mudslide of garbage, ok i get it white men in power are evil. dont understand about the soft view of nazis though...
the show it self has potential. there's a good story line. and then it takes a left turn quickly,.... why? really why??....
i know the series was filmed per-pandemic and i doubt if it will get better. and thats a shame.
Gold Dust (2020)
gold dust, a great family movie... thats not a family movie...???
I wish (not really) i was one of those artsy fartsy, that could say i " i previewed the screener at the alpine"but no, the alpine is a butcher shop where i live.
ok, the review. this has all the elements of family friendly kids have, some bumbling idiost stumble on a girl, etc. but. drug lord, assassin, etc
there is genuine good feel about the whole film. almost as if dumb and dumber were smarter. gold dust is very comical, not holding your gut funny. that seems to be an art lost in the 70s.
ok im not going to give away spoliers but this above average for a buddy/ buddy comedy. its no Hap and Leonard. but ther will be times when say"ha" and then "hahaha" and still "ha that's so stupid its funny". over all its a really great relief, just sit and chuckle. not a spoiler,... but watch past the credits to find about santa
Lost in the Wild (2019)
like a boring youtube ad
What is this garbage? its as stale as a month old loaf of bread,.. and about as appetizing. 2 dull, very uninteresting people describe missing people.
great idea but the hosts...... well they should practice with you tube first. they stink.
68 Whiskey (2020)
what was ron thinking?
Despite my disdain for ron howard. being a normal person who can let different views from some one else get in my way of making a sound judgment,.... the first episode was crud. like a really bad mix of 3 kings and something like leonard and hap, but with out believable characters or any type of humor. in fact i didnt know it was a comedy until i saw the label on imdb.
with out giving clues away,..... there isnt much of a story. in fact there isnt much of anything.
i also want to add, i never served in the military..... but i highly doubt if our troops behave the way they are portrayed here .
Deputy (2020)
solid 4 stars.....
Just the 1st episode, so it could get better or much worse. the story/plot was kinda weak. nothing felt realistic about the whole episode. and then the "pc" stuff with the illegal aliens and the lesbian (ok besides dorf, she is kinda interesting)... oh and the foster kids (highly doubtful those kids would be placed in "foster care" that quick or with the man who shot thier father).
the show just lack depth. characters are not very likeable..
maybe it will improve, but i highly doubt it. Deputy was like wanting a nice t-bone steak and getting a gas station frozen hamburger instead. just my 2 cents, watch it and draw your on conclusion.
Almost Family (2019)
not sure what this pile is
Not sure what this, comedy, drama, heck i dunno. i can say this it was the equivalent of watching a liter box getting changed. stupid plot, stupid sub-plots, uninteresting characters. i find it hard to believe this waste can of effort was even green lighted.
the show should be on tombstone tuesday, as belongs buried... way underground
Yesterday's Girl (2018)
good? no, bad? no,... confusing.. yes
This movie for a low budget one, seemed to utilize what little money they had exceptionally well. as far as spfx, lighting, cinema-photography, and the actors.
the story/movie.... well a bigger budget would have really helped for the movie itself. the story... yeah umm, its good but.... i had to struggle and draw my own conclusions several times as to what maybe happening. and i suspect i might be wrong about the writers ideas. like a prism, there seemed one thought going in with multiple tangents of where the heck should this go.
i am a huge fan of apocalyptic/zombie/ we are all doomed type of movies, but this... i cant put my finger on it. its better than ok but not much above watching a movie while scrolling thru social media on your phone. sorta like this review.
would i watch it again, yes. should you watch it? yes, if you like these type of movies. because if your not into that genre, you will hate it.
i couldnt give it less stars because i kinda liked it, i would have given more stars if i was positive about my assumption of the ending.
The View: Seth Meyers (2017)
i hate trump.... look at me!
Same typical i hate trump, you should too drivel. your not funny and your show stinks. if Trump wasn't president you would be getting coffee for your over lords
Lights Out with David Spade (2019)
David Spade... a comedic wolf in sheeps clothing
Where to begin?.... First and foremost, it was so fantastic to see a true comedian/actor not have any political garbage as the main punch line in every joke. i really think most people are over that, to be honest..... we want to be entertained. why else would we pay so much for cable?
Mr. Spade has always been comedic gold. just watching the 1st episode i actually laughed out loud.... not a snicker or a snort or a lol with a hashtag. but i really laughed.. out loud. the best part..... nothing political. laughter is the best medicine and a spoon full of politics wont help. funny shows, comedies are what need, not hate filed finger pointing stuff.
the 1st episode was great! looking forward to many more. i personally feel David Spade could fill the shoe of Carson or Leno with time.
in a nutshell..... just watch it
The Intruder (2019)
old white guy with a red hat and guns
Brief summery... old white guy sells house to some p.o.c. in his eyes the house is perfect. new owners change house decor, he likes things the way they were. kinda like the media portrays the current establishment. ok enough of that.
the movie it self, a few ladder rungs above mediocre. as almost everything he has stared in, Dennis Quaid was the shining star of the movie and to be honest with out him this would have been straight to redbox. i disliked the black male( i was really hoping he would die} almost as much as i began to despise Quaids character ( i am an old white guy with guns, no red hat though). Quaid plays a full blown nut job to a T. but still the movie lacks.... cant put my finger on it... but its missing something. uhmm.... a great movie for back ground noise while you deep clean your carpets. 20 years ago this would have been in the 2.99 discount bin at your local k-mart.
just my 2 cents... watch it and you decide
Ripley's Believe It or Not! (2019)
the chin is great. the 1st episiode.... not so much
I have always loved ripleys, from the old dingy, musty smelling books in elementary school. even the older tv show was ok....
but this.... either Bruce is broke or he owes a gambling debt..
for the first episode... it was like whiskey limp bunch of youtube videos.
dang it Bruce.... are you going to blame this on illegal downloads also?
Assimilate (2019)
awesome sci fi for a afternoon day
I dont understand the low rating.. theres one from a person who watched a trailer . how do you rate a movie from a trailer??
anyway, this is an awesome some take on a theme. that yes has been done before. but.... its better. im not going to spoil the movie but... just watch till the end. they left an excellent opening for a sequel... and i hope there is one.
its kinda like invasion of the body snatchers with a dash of 28 days later. the actors did a fantastic job representing their characters. the movie itself is well written, well thought out. in my opinion, its scifi with a ladle sized helping of vintage 50s -60s style horror movies ( creature feature with Dr. Paul Bearer) suspense.
its really good movie... you dont like it well... turn it off. i personally hope there will be a sequel.
Live in Front of a Studio Audience: Norman Lear's 'All in the Family' and 'The Jeffersons' (2019)
despite well known actors..
This was a a complete hat trick as why some classics shouldn't be touched. you, they,... whoever picked the worst episodes to portray should have their portrait placed on a wall of shame.
as some one who grew up in that frame and saw both shows equally funny, it was difficult to muster a snicker.
the acting was spot on ,... for community theater. such talented people/actors.... just left it flat. like they had subliminal political message...
so whats next? will they ruin happy days?
in a nut shell not funny, not worth watching
Boyne Falls (2018)
exceptionaly great mid budget movie
Not your typical big budget, people get lost in the woods and bad things happen movie. nope, not at all. the the main actors were great, the others in the movie were ok for their parts.
the movie it self seemed to be well thought out and planned properly. the story with a few flash backs to help stitch loose seams, is really good. something you dont see much anymore..... its original on its own.
just watch it, the tine spent is not regrettable (like a lot of movies today).
Les frères Sisters (2018)
its ok but.....
3 of my favorite actors, who played their roles very well but the whole movie was lacking something. i cant put my finger on it... like a taco tuesday with no fixuns, just meat and a tortilla. that kind of empty is how i felt. the entire story line was very boring. the characters were not very like able. actually the whole movie stank like an old chicken dinner forgotten about in the fridge.
i cant recall a single moment of this movie that was worthwhile of viewing again.
such a waste of talent
The Happytime Murders (2018)
this aint sesame street
Just watched happy time murders. if you have a juvenile heart and a sophomoric sense of humor (if you think beavis and butthead/fart jokes are funny) there will be times when you will laugh out loud. if you are a spinster/curmudgeon.... well your sense of humor was lost at birth and your time would be better spent knitting socks for your 10 cats.
Bad Company (2018)
7 stars..... becuase ...
To start with im not familiar with the cast. never heard of Booboo.the only reason i looked this up on imdb was because i thought nicholas cage's sons were in it. i can honestly say that the actors i thought might be related to him out performed Mr. Cage in anything he has done past 1999.
the movie.....its not bad, its not good.... something in between. ummm its worth a watch if your out of options on a sunday afternoon.
7 stars??? ... hmmm yeah well... the story is different than most crap today. its a low budget movie.... what else can i say?
The Conners (2018)
wel... well... it aint your mommas roseanne
Jeez, where to start? there isnt a point a or a point b. just an empty void of a great tv show, that abc killed off.
the original show op[en up with "filmed in front of a live audience". the conners only canned laughter... to jokes that honestly that lacked any humor. reminded me of a lousy snl skit.
ok, we all knew the kid was gay, did you really need to have him come out? what purpose was that for?
the show is horrible and wont last the season. unless they rewrite it, reshoot it, and resurrect roseanne from the dead
