Marry Me (2022)
2/10
Planning to watch this movie?
13 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
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 (2009–2020)
1/10
Summary: solution to every problem?
23 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
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.

Ooooooh... I'm pissed!
21 March 2020
I'm pissed because their 5 year 6 months 28 days story made me waste my few hours.

1. Can writers not be generic? Can they think of this as something that should end by Season 3 and then give their best? Let's face it, this show goes beyond season 3, I'd rather watch Sharknado!

Poor writing Poor acting (especially character Grace Stone makes me cringe so much, I wanna write her off in a not-so-subtle way) Poor casting Poor direction Poor cinematography (which probably isn't their fault but the director's, still they failed)

There are two types of people
21 March 2020
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 (2020–2023)
2/10
Mildly irritating, utterly boring
3 March 2020
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 (2013–2023)
5/10
All stars for James Spader, none for the rest.
25 February 2020
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 (2018–2020)
1/10
Updated! 2 stars down from 3 (started at 7)
9 February 2020
Clichés after clichés after clichés. If you've watched it thoroughly through each episode without watching an advert or a promo or a teaser, you can almost be forced to believe that you're a clairvoyant because the story is so predictable. Not just the events, even the dialogues and that's sincerely disappointing.

I wouldn't just blame the writer's inability to be innovative, the direction isn't top notch and I have enough goofs that I decided just to drop my rating instead of adding them all. Don't have the patience. The characters are poorly written and accordingly acted with not much sincerity being shown by the actors. Supporting characters like Joy, Gideon seem forced and Audrey could've been used better in the plot.

It's 9th Feb, 2020 today and I've watched every episode released by now. I'm not afraid to say that I just might drop the rating to 1* by the time the season 2 ends.

God Friended Me (2018–2020)

A promising plot ruined by poor direction and cliché.
8 February 2020
Gave 3 stars because of surprises it carries, however, how the characters find the clues is absolutely disappointing.

I want my time back!
6 November 2019
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 (2005–2013)
2/10
Let me explain!
3 October 2019
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..

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.

Too Much "American"
30 September 2019
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.

I wept!
13 September 2019
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.

Oh My God Why?
28 July 2019
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 Video)
4/10
Way Off The Mark!
26 July 2019
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)
5/10
Oh My God Why!!!!!
12 July 2019
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.
