Marry Me (2022)
Planning to watch this movie?
Why you should watch:
- Some light heart comic scenes. Maybe 3 total in a nearly 2 hour long movie.
- If you haven't seen a RomCom before.
- If you haven't seen a movie in which a successful woman falls for a common man (hint, Notting Hill is better, except for a certain really off putting smiling scene of Julia Roberts. You'll know what I'm talking about whewhen you come to it).
Why you should not watch:
- Advertising. Now that people are able to block adverts through AdBlocks, we're getting advertisements right in the movies. Vitamix, as unfunny as ever Jimmy Fallon, some jewellery designer, some wedding dress designer.
- You're better off taking a 2 hour nap than waste time on this movie. Your body and mind, both will thank you.
- Acting - Owen Wilson was one of the two watchable people in this movie and the second wasn't JLo.
- Scriptwriting - How many times have we had this story premise - rich girl falls for poor/common boy and after going through heartaches and struggles and society's judgments, they lived happily ever after?
Modern Family (2009)
Summary: solution to every problem?
Lie. When your lie gets caught, lie more to hide the first lie. When people stop buying your lies, be manipulative. When manipulation doesn't work, apologise. It'll always work because family forgives everything.
On the next episode: repeat.
Never watched the show before it went off air.
Pros? Can binge 11 seasons.
Cons? Realise quicker than people a decade ago that the show stopped being funny from season 4.
Manifest (2018)
There are two types of people
First type: the person who came up with the idea for the series! Amazing.
Second type: the person who wrote the episodes.
Both these people can be the same person or two.
Also, poor casting, poor acting, poor direction, okay cinematography, sounds sound cheap.

Hunters (2020)
Mildly irritating, utterly boring
Anyone who has ever watched some movies knows what clichés are.
An old "wise" guy? Check
One "I'm badass"? Check
One "I don't speak but I'm ruthless too"? Check
One "I'm the comic"? Check
One "I didn't sign up for this"? Check
One "I'm the tech genius"? Check (except it's a couple and woman is always right)
One newbie with moral compass which sways? Check
One villain that speaks as if she's the wisest of them all? Check
One " I should be the King" Bishop? Check
One pawn that just follows orders? Check
The Blacklist (2013)
All stars for James Spader, none for the rest.
Writing is lazy.
Megan Boone is cringy, partly because of poor script, mostly because she's cringy.
"Tom Keen" character wasn't used to his limits.
"Agent Nawabi" clearly doesn't belong, either in MOSSAD or FBI.
"Agent Ressler" character is played ping pong with.
"Agent Mojtabai" is a kid, who does what he's supposed to, is likeable, but his characteristics shouldn't allow him to be in the FBI as he's easily manipulated.
"SA Harold Cooper" is a good character, who sadly wasn't used enough.
James Spader and his neck-tilt acting stole the show, but failed post season 4 because of poor writing.
God Friended Me (2018)
A promising plot ruined by poor direction and cliché.
Gave 3 stars because of surprises it carries, however, how the characters find the clues is absolutely disappointing.

White Collar (2009)
Unworthy
We get it, Matt Bomer is sexy and Tiffany is wife to die for. There's your two stars, now f* off.
Pata Nahi Par Bolna Hai: A Comedy Special by Karunesh Talwar (2019)
I want my time back!
Que: How long are you willing to extend your feminism towards the citizen?
Karunesh: Hold my beer.
But.... You're no longer funny, just a fatass who couldn't get some so he stands by women to berate men, and says the same fucking lines over and over.
Karunesh: So?
Seriously, you're better off watching porn in No But November. That'd be less hurtful.
The Office (2005)
Let me explain!
I know people would find it weird (of they ever happen to read this) that I rated the show a solid 10! Nothing's a solid 10, right? I mean, I've rated Godfather and Godfather 2 9 each.
This show is more than just comedy. The subtlety (or the lack of), the humour, the lessons, the drama, the relationships...... everything..... fits?
One of the best works of art I've had the pleasure of witnessing..
Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)
We go from one dumb baldie saying "family" every other sentence to two saying "brother".
More monologues than entire season of all late night talk show hosts combined.
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016)
Too Much "American"
This movie is just way too much "American", even for an American to handle. To the point thay at one point they even used the term "Captain America" in it. The only thing good enough to see in this movie are abs, and that too isn't for me.
Bill Burr: Paper Tiger (2019)
I wept!
Anger issues, all the pain, all the fears, everything that someone keeps suppressed, kept hidden somewhere, just...came out..
And I audibly wept. Maybe for the first time in the last two decades. Thank you Bill.
Men in Black: International (2019)
Wahmen In Black
Please get this PC culture put of entertainment. Not worth a review.
Something Borrowed (2011)
Oh My God Why?
Both the stars I gave the movie are for John's humourous one liners! Kate - terrible, the other one I can't even remember the name of- meh. The guy who played Dex - hot, but NOPE, Marcus? Didn't even notice his presence until the big reveal in the end, the girl who played Victoria in HIMYM - couldn't be used to her potential because screenwriter was concentrated elsewhere!
The Hamptons is like a zombie movie directed by Ralph Lauren.
Please do NOT watch this movie. Waste of time.
Batman: Hush (2019)
Way Off The Mark!
This movie, while visually good, does not follow the original Hush script in the comics. While the movie has used Bane as the first villain, the comics had Killer Croc. Now this replacement doesn't seem to affect the movie much, however, the missing background story of Dr. Thomas Elliot was not acceptable. This sets off a storyline which does not even come close to how it went in the comics and the way that the movie ended, I have no clue what Warner Bros. were thinking.
It's about time that Warner Bros. STOP interfering with the scripts.
Point Blank (2019)
Oh My God Why!!!!!
As I type this, the movie sits among the top action flicks on IMDb released in 2019 with 7.9 rating.
Ever watched any action movie? Yes? Then there's no point in watching this one unless you have a couple of hours to spare. Everything is cliche. Family in trouble? Check. Someone falsely accused of murder trying to convince everyone he didn't do it? Check. Everything else ever? Check.
Wish I could get my time back and watch half of Fellowship of the Ring again instead.
