The Family Business (2018)
So, THIS is where old "C and D" Actor s Go to DIE!!!
I was desperate for something binge worthy during the long holiday season of SERIAL re runs! I landed on this hot mess of a show! I had never heard of it, because I REFUSE to watch BET, TV 1, or Bounce since they all show more commercials than content!
I tried watching on Netflix!
HUGE MISTAKE, between the fake almost comical acting; the obligatory GAY character with the MOST RIDICULOUS hair colors I have ever seen!
And the "sex scenes" with UNDERWEAR ON; and the fake accents it was enough to make you want to drop HOT SAUCE into your eyes!!
Whoever wrote this mess needs to go turn themselves bin to the local inpatient MENTAL facility because they are too DERANGED to be out in public!!
Nobody's Fool (2018)
POISON!!!
ANY movie with Tiffany Haddosh in it is an automatic ONE! This HOT FLAMING mess definitely deserves a ZERO,but you must give a number to posta review!
Tyler Perry may be a filthy rich black man ,but his movies are for people with low intelligence! Once he touches a script, it goes from the front of the proverbial bus to the
"Colored Section"!! Tika Sumpter may not be an "A" list actor but she was horribly miscast in this. She is pretty and classy, she could NEVER have a mom that looks like Whoopi Goldberg! This movie was 5 years old when I finally looked at it,given the weak script; profanity filled dialog; and horrible acting from "Tiffany the Terrible" take my advice PASS on this celluloid
feces!!
Small Town Wisconsin (2020)
SAD, but Oh SO TRUE!
Still desperately seeking something that was not a rerun, I found this moving horror show! In the 1st 6 minutes I knew it was going to be a mess, the cardboard stand up picture of t-rump was a dead giveaway! The movie showcased the kinds of people that support him,low class, trailer dwellers, who profess to love America, but hate anyone who doesn't look, or think like them. The main character was pathetic!! Throughout the ENTIRE movie he drinks beers, mini alcohol bottles and big bottles of the same. He couldn't even keep a goldfish alive! The whole movie is filled with unknown actors ,except for Kirsten Johnston who had gotten as big as a Greyhound bus! The phase
"She sure let herself go" is an understatement!
The movie gives you NO ONE to root for, you just feel sorry for the little kid
because his father is a drunken loser, who vomits inside a car!
American Dream/American Knightmare (2018)
Sad, and EMBARRASSING!!
Out of sheer desperation, I finally watched this LITERAL HOT MESS!!
Suge Knight has got Tobe the most IGNORANT rich man in the USA!!!
He can't hold an intelligent conversation! He speaks so much profanity filled garbage, and barely enunciates,too the point where SUBTITLES ARE NEEDED!!
My mother always said
"MONEY CAN'T buy class!"
Knight is the living breathing example of that phrase!!!
As a Black, mother, and great grandmother, I am so glad that my sins, and grandsons are NOT like this mentally deranged, low class ,IN SPITE of his wealth, creature!!
Lots of you will attack what I say in this review, but I don't care! This was hard to watch as a person with common sense and a reasonably high IQ.
As They Made Us (2022)
It only took FIVE minutes!!
Never has a movie turned SO FAST! Still desperate for something new ,during this months long writer's strike,I chose this train wreck of a movie!!!!!!!
Candace Bergan was the very definition of a witch on wheels, and she looked
100 years old! Dustin Hoffman looked 200 years old,at some point these ancient relics need to say NO to a movie role!
I have never heard of the pretty woman who played thier daughter, but she was WAY too young to have been THIER daughter!
Thier daughter would have been in her 50s!
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
SKIP THIS TRAIN WRECK. You will be better entertained by watching
Fleas fight!
The Upshaws (2021)
No, and HELL NO!!
This show would have been funny, in the 1970s!!!
Comedy has evolved since Good Times was the standard for Black Family sitcoms. My major complaint is that horrible canned laugh track!!!
Placing it in after EVERY
other line was just plain
stupid! Every keeps asking why Kim Fields "sank this low"? The answer is, she has not had regular work in DECADES,she was NEVER an A list actress like Angela Bassett anyway!
The ongoing writers strike has me desperately searching for something to watch that isn't a rerun of a rerun!!! I am NOT this desperate though. Another question asked was "Why Wanda Sykes was on this train wreck of a,show
NEWSFLASH, she is one of the CREATORS of said train wreck!
Crash (2004)
AMAZING, Decades later!
I saw this cinematic masterpiece, in the theater, 3 times! Youngsters this
was 2004,you actually had to Pay to see a good movie CRASH remains one of the BEST, ensemble movies ever made!!! The separate, back stories ,on each character, and the way they all come together at the end,was GENIUS.
Terrance Howard as the director who did a slow burn,until he lost it was
Magnificent!! Matt Dillon also gave an Oscar worthy performance as a racist cop who didn't know he was racist. At the risk if sounding old and dated I still says They don't make them like this anymore!"
If by some fluke you haven't seen CRASH, stop and watch this glorious movie ASAP!!!! I guarantee you WILL LOVE IT!!!
Ghost (1990)
Still Wonderful After All These Years!
I have seen this wonderful movies at least 5 times in the 33 years since it was released. It still is one of the BEST movies I have ever seen! It's bittersweet to see sweet Patrick Swayze
who left us way too soon! This remains the BEST performance
by Whoopi Goldberg
nothing she has done since even comes close!
The true test of a classic is its ability to entertain you after decades since its release. Ghost was a blockbuster in 1990
and it remains just that in 2023. The Righteous Brothers beautiful song
Unchained Melody is just the icing on a perfect cake,sweet, and unforgettable!!
Again one of the best movies ever made!!
Madea's Family Reunion (2006)
Really?!
Tyler Perry has reached megamogul status in this country,but, for the life of me I can't understand why!
His movies appeal the the pseudo Christian/ ghetto crowd only.
His plots( if you can call them that) are cookie cutter, single mom in distress, meets eligible man,who of course falls in love with her, and her one or two kids from one or two baby daddys, the date,he meets her family, there is a BIG wedding at the end, of course the bride wears white,despite the number of kids she has.
Lynn Whitfield and Blair Underwood must have both NEEDED a paycheck to agree to star in this overblown 2 hour soap opera!
B*A*P*S (1997)
WHAT were they smoking?!
This movie embarrassed my mother!! (She died 30 years ago!) I guess Halle was in need of rent money,as were MOST of the actors in this train wreck of a movie! It can actually serve as a memorial to to the late Heavy D as well as Natalie Desalle-Reid. He ,as well as Leon ; Howard Hewlett ,of Shalimar, and LL Cool J
made quick cameos in this. I guess they were just being nice. The plot was silly, and UNREAL,
I live in Atlanta, and Decatur is NOT the hot ghetto mess they show in this circus! Halle went on to win an Oscar, later on, Natalie
went on to her reward, sadly she NEVER got to play an intelligent role before she passed away. She will always be remembered as THE
"around the way girl"
The Righteous Gemstones (2019)
The VERY DEFINITION of a Hot Mess!!
I stumbled on this literally, because the writers strike has left me seeking new shows since all my regular shows are all RERUNS
of reruns!
The first thing I noticed is that John Goodman is forever Roseanne's husband, any other role ,he seems out of place!
He definitely is not believeable as a televangelist!
The rest of this HORRIBLE "Christian" family is just over the top. They have a son that has a hairdo from the 70's a la Elvis; a sex crazed daughter and the obligatory closeted (not really ) gay son. All of them use the F word constantly! This series
leaves me wondering WHAT the writers were smoking when they created this HOT MESS of a show?!
The Single Moms Club (2014)
Tyler Perry= PREDICTABLE!
I have always liked and admired Tyler Perry, the person,but I am bored with him as a writer/ director!
His movies are ALL virtually the SAME!
Most have a struggling
single mom as the central character,this has five! Why he, ala Spike Lee, has to be in practically All his movies escapes me!
Sadly just like Lee, he really can't act,out of his Madea drag.
This story is just NOT believeable, in WHAT world would 5 women ,this diverse end up as friends?!Hint to Tyler
let someone else write for you! You are like an old record, STUCK, on the record player. In closing I say three things to this movie
Fake; Predictable; and
BORING!
Little Fockers (2010)
Awful to the 10TH Power!
Sometimes as a medical professional I see things in movies,that make me ask? WHO was thier medical consultant!?
This movie messed up
TERRIBLY in the first 20 minutes! The scene ,with Kevin Hart as a nurse! Where they PAGED Ben Stiller's character,who was the Director of Nursing to come help give a patient an ENEMA! That alone was ridiculous, then they had the drug rep, who magically KNEW which room to walk into,come unannouncedto a patient's bedside and actually GIVE the enema! This was one of the MOST ridiculous things I have ever seen!
After that the rest of the movie went downhill
FAST. DeNiro's character
defibrillates.. HIMSELF,that's when I turned it OFF, as a Nurse and SANE person I could no longer watch this flaming hot pile of manure!
Harlem Nights (1989)
Not As Funny As It Was In The 1980s
This movie has beautiful costumes, beautiful women, especially Lela "Sunshine" Rochon.
The script was written by Eddie Murphy, and it shows. Eddie was THE comedian ,in the 80s, he was in several money making movies, he was great in them, but he is NOT a writer!
Now this movie is a living memorial to Redd Foxx; Della Reese; Thomas Mikal Ford; Robin Harris; Charlie Murphy; Danny Aiello; and the legendary Richard Pryor! I watch this when there is NOTHING else to watch! Currently there is a
writers strike, so even premium cable is showing nothing but reruns,of reruns!!!!!!!!!!! As I previously stated, the costumes were beautiful!
Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader (2012)
Have They LOST Thier Minds!?
This farce is by far one of the WORST so called" movies" of ALL time! Bad acting,concept, casting, and the script must have been written under the influence of HEAVY DRUGS!! Treat Williams and Sean Young HAD to be desperate or clinically INSANE to act in this farce!
It was low key porn mixed with the WORST CGI I have ever seen! My eyes are actually BLEEDING!!
Do yourself a HUGE favor avoid this DUMPSTER FIRE
of a flim. To add to the foolishness they renamed it BLUE RESIDENTS!!
This is such a mess, the makers and writers should be criminally CHARGED with felonius assault, with intention to cause BLINDNESS!!
The First 48 (2004)
Absorbing and REAL!!
I have watched this fine TV series since its first episode!
It is now in the 25rg season and just as interesting and absorbing as it was in season 1!!
Several cities have dropped out of participating since it started, like my hometown of Atlanta, GA. They went up the road to Gwinnett Co. The show is quite addictive, once you see a few episodes you are HOOKED. Comcast has broken up what used be part of basic cable into so called "packages" The First 48 is part of thier "Entertainment Package"
They removed A&E from
my Package, I got so mad they almost became an EPISODE themselves!
Do NOT mess with my
First 48!! They quickly restored it!!
For the Love of Money (2021)
Perpertrating at the HIGHEST level!!!
The opening scenes CLEARLY show my hometown of ATLANTA,Ga, but this hot mess of a "movie" was filmed ENTIRELY in Oklahoma City!! Forget the horrible script, and ridiculous storyline, that alone is the reason this is a HORRIBLE movie! Why does EVERYTHING Black have to be set I Atlanta?! I live IN the REAL Atlanta and get sick and tired of all the people who claim to live here,but live miles away! Finally this was a poorly cast, horribly acted music video PRETENDING to be a movie!! Katt Williams as a PREACHER?! That' s almost criminal!! It embarrasses us educated Black professionals to see movies like this! JUST STOP PLEASE!!
Black or White (2014)
REALLY!?
This movie went sour for me in the fist 10 minutes! Who has his wife die, then goes home and DOESN'T tell his grandchild,who is school age and intelligent!? Next he has NO IDEA how to get to her school,where she gone for more than a year, HELLO everyone has GPS!!!! It is the 21st CENTURY!!
Then there is the tired old "How do you style hair on a bi racial girl"
scene. The most ridiculous one was the girl having to be FORCED to brush her teeth! Who wrote this screenplay?! Stevie Wonder!!?? I love Octavia Spencer and Kevin Costner, but this does neither one of them justice. No wonder Kevin had to put up the money himself,this is a silly, tacky, unrealistic movie.
Ride Along 2 (2016)
Kevin Hart is a human version of a mosquitoe!!
He buzzes all around us making insect like sounds and acting like a psycho OFF ALL his meds! America loves clowns though that is why he makes movies and an IMBICILE made it to the White House!!
Another Kind of Wedding (2017)
Like watching a train wreck!!
I only gave this horrible movie a 1 because you can't post a review with a negative ZERO!
This is absolutely the WORST movie I have ever seen!! Kathleen Turner is a big a Greyhound bus, and the rest of the cast are a bunch of unknowns who should STAY that way!! Even the theme and background music
was HORRIBLE!! Warning to all, scroll past this celluloid
feces FAST!!
Something Like a Business (2010)
What in the ACTUAL HELL??!!
I was desperate for something new to watch during these pandemic times when even the premium channels are showing movies OLDER than me!! I am over FIFTY!!
This movie had literally
EVERY C list black comedian, and the usual list of low level black actors like the ubiquitous Clifton Powell! It seems Clifton will say yes to be at the opening of a new McDonald's!! Kevin Hart
is the star of this embarrassing fiasco, I know people love his little manic ass but
THIS "movie" is like watching celluloid
diarrhea!! It looks like it was filmed on a cheap cellphone camera by a BLIND
man, and written by
someone who is on heavy drugs..or SHOULD be!!!
The Heartbreak Kid (2007)
Really AWFUL!!
I will be succinct, Ben Stiller is adorable, in a cupie doll sort of way,
but his acting is bad!
He has been in some bad ,silly movies but this one IS JUST
ABYSMAL! Why did he put his ancient relic of a dad in it!? The writers are the Farriley brothers, they must write, WHILE HIGH, a lot!!
Good Deeds (2012)
REALLY??!!
Tyler Perry us a nice, kind hearted, generous man, BUT, his writing
skills are as good as Stevie Wonder's DRIVING skills!!
Really?! CEOs date broke, homeless, and VERY RUDE maids all the time! The premise should have been
smothered in the crib!
Mr Perry, PLEASE let someone HELP you with your, boring, cookie cutter scripts!!
Mo' Better Blues (1990)
Why Little Spike
As we all know short men have big egos, Spike Lee is no exception. One question WHY did you cast two people in thier
late 50s and early 60s as little Bleek's parents?!
The black hair dye and hip clothing did NOT hide Dick Anthony Williams and Abby Lincoln's wrinkles and puffy eyes. This was a fair movie, convoluted
and too long as most of Spike's movies are.
Ride Along (2014)
Only got a 5 because it was filmed in"The ATL"
Terrible acting, silly plot, beautiful location shots! Kevin Hart should stick to comedy, and Ice Cube looks permanently CONSTIPATED!
I only watched this video game pretending to be a movie, because it was filmed here in my beautiful hometown of Atlanta.
