Bio: Currently rating on a 50 point scale.

When watching a show I will indicate if I completed it and if there is a massive quality shift. I will rate them on up to where I stopped watching.

This is based on personal enjoyment more than anything. It's not meant to represent a objective critical rating. More leniency will be given to a film that sets out to be a summer popcorn flick and nothing more.

Example Godzilla might get a 76 and Dances With Wolves might get a 70 but that doesn't mean Godzilla is a objectively better film it just means I enjoyed it more

Dave Chappelle: The Closer (2021) - Rated 12 Jan 2022

I love Chappelle and have watched all of his stuff available on streaming platforms. This is by far his weakest material he spends way too long on the transgender community being "triggered" by his jokes. Which is something he should've dropped the last special. Not because some of it isn't funny and is offensive(It's both funny and offensive) but because it's stale, beating a dead horse, and makes him look like he is holding a grudge because group of people doesn't like his jokes about them.

Don't Look Up (2021) - Rated 12 Jan 2022

The satire was too on the nose even for a Adam McKay movie and lacked subtlety. Still makes a great point about our current world leaders both political, media, and business and their refusal to listen to the scientific community regarding climate change. Also does a good job with the general public Covid Satire. Still feel like a little more subtlety, a fast pace, and cutting some scenes like the concert scene could've made this a more enjoyable watching experience.

The Great British Bake Off (2010) - Rated 02 Jan 2022

A rather wholesome cooking competition show. a nice contract from the cutthroat nature of the vast majority of American cooking competition shows. The show follows a nice slow paced template where there is a theme for the week and 3 challenges for the bakers to compete in with first place winning "Star Baker" and last place getting eliminated. The judges in particular Paul can be harsh at times but despite the sometimes harsh judging the show still maintains it's wholesomeness.

Battle: Los Angeles (2011) - Rated 09 Dec 2021

This is a bad alien invasion movie from the perspective of the boots on the ground. There was no character development, hell you couldn't tell characters apart. The alien designs were okay, the effects were good, the action was fine but the characters were bland, the plot, and the dialogue were trash. This movie was a boring slog to get through which should not happen in an alien invasion movie which should have you gripping your seats.

Skyline (2010) - Rated 09 Dec 2021

Lets get one thing out of the way this is a bad movie. The premise could've been good it could've been like Cloverfield but with an unrelenting alien force as the monster. The special effects are good for a movie on a 10 million dollar budget. However the story is so bad, the characters are unlikeable, the dialogue is terrible, and the ending was a shitty sequel bait cop out that went against the tone of the movie.

Gomorrah (2014) - Rated 09 Dec 2021

A solid B tier show that centers around the Naples Mafia and the constant power struggles surrounding that area. The first two seasons are excellent but the third and fourth while still good suffer a little bit mainly from the amount of bodies that have piled up over the seasons leaving you with less characters you are invested in.

Unbelievable (2019) - Rated 29 Nov 2021

A wonderful well acted mini-series which feels a little long but details the true story of a sexual assault victim, the failure of law enforcement, and the success of two detectives to find a serial rapist and bring some justice on behalf of "Marie" and the other victims.
