Godzilla (2014)
Crap , or in Japanese: Utter crap
What the hell was I watching until what I thought was Godzilla made an appearance for a fraction of a second ? This was a poorly written disjointed mishmash of bad acting, terrible effects, almost no plot , abysmal score and ,NO DAMN MONSTERS UNTIL ALMOST AN HOUR INTO IT. If I was given a choice between this and the George Clooney Batman I would take a sharp stick in the eye. Avoid this clunker at all costs. Clean your gutter, clip your toenails or watch paint dry. It'll be better than wasting your time on this mess. The best part was when the credits ran because that indicated when it was over. For the love of God stop trying to Americanize Godzilla or "re-imagine" it.
The Good Guys (2010)
Don't think too hard and you'll love this show
If you're an overly analytical crime drama aficionado, you won't like The Good Guys. Me, I love it. It takes so many genres, mashes them together and it works like a charm - Love the Stephen J Cannell all action no plot series of the 80's? its here. Like procedural crime drama?its here. Like tongue in cheek comedy? Its here. Like Magnum's cheesy mustache, Matt Houston, pleather jackets? Its here. Matt Nix has a winner here. Its no typical crime drama, buddy cop adventure. Its a hoot and I hope it sticks around. The cast of characters is strong, plenty of action, lots of laughs and it just doesn't take itself too seriously. You want blue light CSI special effects and Law & Order procedural drama, go watch them. You want simple action, gunfights, car chases and likable characters, watch The Good Guys.
The Year Without a Santa Claus (2006)
Bury This as deep as you can dig
An abomination so heinous, so repulsive, so reprehensible that the excess amount of bile that my body doesn't process because of my missing gall bladder creeps up my esophagus thinking about it.
I speak of the atrocity that was recently aired on CBS - The Year Without A Santa Clause. Not the beloved Rankin/Bass production, but a live action piece of televised diarrhea. John Goodman as santa, Delta Burke as Mrs Claus? Harvey Fierstien as Heat Miser?!!!! Dear god in heaven what have they done?...... What have they done? ( I was saving that for when the US was nuked ah la Jericho, but this is worse... far worse).
I'll admit that curiosity made me tune in. I'm human. But Randy from My Name is Earl as Jangle? A black Jingle? Dancing girls in the Heat Miser/Cold Miser numbers? When did a bump and grind ( over and above the Victorias Secet Fashion Show) become a part of Christmas tradition? The claymation Misers didn't need it. No they didn't. They were pure entertainment. I'd rather the controversy of devil/angel that kept it off TV for so many years to a musical number from Solid Gold.
Someone needs to bury this, and bury it deep. Its a national disgrace. You want insurgents to surrender- tape their eyes open and force then to watch this over & over. It will make them beg to be degregaded at abul grad.
The tragedy of this is that it was 2 hours. I only watched 20 minutes before I was diving for the puke bucket.
The Lost World (1999)
I LOVE this series
Is there anything this series DOESN'T offer- Drama, comedy, handsome heros, science, great looking jungle women, monsters, UFO's , cool effects, a fair amount of cheeziness ( I love a show that doesn't take itself too seriously) ,zombies, vortexes, time travel,gunplay, explosions, lots of that great hitting noises from the opening credits to the closing credits; I mean come on! Whats not to like? This show is like every Saturday morning cartoon I've ever seen rolled into 42 minutes. Only the bad guys get killed and the good guys never even bruise. Love, hate, that 'Moonlighting' relationship development between the characters. I could go on for hours.
