Bad Moms, a review by addicted2dvd

My Thoughts: This one I have been curious about every since I first saw the trailer. Not do much for the film itself... as it looked like it could easily go either way... but because I am a fan of multiple actresses in this one. I found the film to be enjoyable but nothing special. I found it to be worth the time put in to watch it... but it is not I see myself watching often. I found the interviews with the actresses real life mothers during the end credits as entertaining as the film itself. Rating: (From Within My Lifetime: 2017 Edition on January 9th, 2017) Righteous Kill, a review by RichRighteous Kill Turk and Rooster, two aging NYPD detectives who have been longtime partners are faced with a serial killer who is murdering sociopathic criminals. They both have personal issues, and when they start working with a younger team, Perez and Riley, tensions between the pairs of partners is inevitable, especially since Turk is now living with Perez's ex-girlfriend, also a homicide detective. All the ingredients of a great film? - DeNiro & Pacino playing a couple of veteran cops in a NY thriller, can't go wrong can it? Unfortunately it can, and it did. Very weak script, two very tired performances from great actors, a plot twist telegraphed so early on in the film it wasn't even worth guessing at, and a storyline too overly cooked for the worst 70's cop shows. This is not the worst movie ever, but with 2 heavyweights appearing to just be there for their paychecks, it was a major disappointment.

My Thoughts: I just finished this complete series set. It was a new series that aired last season... made by the same people that make Grey's Anatomy. The series is more then a medical drama... it is more like a medical drama mixed with an action/adventure type series. Unfortunately it only lasted a half of season before getting canceled. Since it was canceled so quickly there isn't a satisfying ending to the series. To many questions left unanswered. While I enjoyed every minute of this series, I am not surprised that it was canceled the way it was. It isn't the best medical drama I ever seen... and I can see where some people wouldn't like it considering the main storyline and location. But personally that is one of the things I liked about it. My favorite character on this series is Dr. Lily Brenner played by Caroline Dhavernas... who coincidentally starred in another short-lived series I really liked... Wonderfalls. My Favorite episode is a little hard for me to pick since I enjoyed them all so much... but I guess I would have to go with I'm Here... an episode where the doctors had to amputate a girls leg underwater when she gets trapped in some rocks while scuba diving. Surprisingly for a short-lived series... there is a nice amount of extras. My favorite extra is normally the Outtakes/Bloopers... but not in this case as there really wasn't much to them at all this time. So in this set I would have to say the Making Of featurette has to be my favorite. It really was interesting to see all the locations and how they shot some of the stuff they did.I would say if you can deal with the fact that there is no satisfactory ending to the series... this is one I would recommend checking out. Especially if you normally enjoy medical dramas. As this is a medical drama with a twist. My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 (From Off the Map: The Complete Series on February 2nd, 2012) |
