Cursed (2020)

Is anyone else just tired of the million different renditions of the King Arthur myth? I love fantasy, yes, but come on, there are countless other tales that have dragons and magic and everything else! We need to be envisioning something totally different.

Tarzan and the Leopard Woman (1946)

Classic B/W film. The girl is beautiful. The man is handsome. Everyone is equally matched. Not bad if you like the oldies.

I loved the reference to the Dr. Who series. The time traveling Dr. who alters reality and who has a powerful brain! Great. I still don’t like the cussing in this series and I’m waiting for the really gross stuff from the first season to star again. Still, it’s not bad.

Penn & Teller: Fool Us (2011) S7 E1
nikkimckelvy 0 points 3 years ago.

Glad the show’s back. We need a little magic now. Have you eve noticed that the show says that all audience participation is random and unscripted, Penn and Teller don’t know anything beforehand, but it never states that Allison doesn’t know anything beforehand? There have been a few times when she had to have seen the trick just based on her vantage point.

When Stephen Colbert is the adult in the room, everyone is SOL! There is no hope left in America!

Aristotle's Lagoon (2010)

If this man truly didn’t believe in God, he wouldn’t feel the sadness he mentions. It would simply be another fact of life. Other than that incongrucency, it’s an interesting little documentary.

Penny Dreadful: City of Angels (2020) S1 E9

Not bad. Getting better. They still need to up the fantasy a little, but at least the plot is progressing nicely.

Cuban Chrome (2015)
nikkimckelvy 1 points 3 years ago.

I really liked this show. It’s hard to find anything from Cuba, and it really shows some of the beauty behind the Latin culture. I wish they would do a second season, but I don’t see how they can. I won’t tell the ending, but I will say that it is very beautiful and is a good example of the culture.

Artemis Fowl (2020)
nikkimckelvy 2 points 3 years ago.

Thank you uploaders. I have been wanting to see this movie, and now that I have I’m disappointed. Disney didn’t do the book justice. This was just action crap. The books are far more intelligent than this. Another miss for Disney’s failing standards.

This looks like it will be good! I’m excited!

Autopsy: The Last Hours Of... (2014)
nikkimckelvy 5 points 3 years ago.

I got all excited seeing that there were new episodes out on our schedule, and there are still no links. I have asked several times for links to this show! Not fair! It’s one of my favorite shows, and I can’t get it where I’m living. I can’t find it online to post links myself! Help please!

The show is being renewed for a second season, but Brendan Fraser will not be back as Robotman. How sad.

What health issues does he have?

It explain some of the things happening to him. I’m not sure how much I trust it, but just looking at him he’s had some major issues.

Penny Dreadful: City of Angels (2020) S1 E6

Wow! I wasn’t sure if this show could bring the drama, but dang this episode did! That was a very good play at the end. Enjoyable.

Secrets Unlocked (2020) S1 E10
nikkimckelvy 1 points 3 years ago.

The provenance for this is so lax it’s laughable. All scholars agree it is impossible for us to know exactly which room Jesus used for the last supper. It’s simply known as “the upper room,” meaning that the building had more than one story. It could have been anywhere in Jerusalem. The only account provided is a Muslim account, and they have been well known for destroying relics and/or claiming thousands upon thousands of false relics over the years. What is mentioned here is an old cup. We can’t even tell if it’s from the right time frame.

Everyone does, but it’s generally not a cool thing to point them out.

Watch the episode, and you’ll see the joke.

I think she has some mental health issues!

Ms Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries (2019)
nikkimckelvy -2 points 4 years ago.

This show is okay. It lacks the glamour, sophistication, wit, and chemistry of the parent series. The current Ms. Fisher is crass, uneducated, and shallow, and the viewer doesn’t feel like she is the modern woman that the original Phryne was. If the show is renewed, I will watch it, but if it isn’t renewed, I won’t feel disappointed either.

Secrets Unlocked (2020)

I’m really enjoying this show. It’s interesting, upbeat, and not too shabby. Every episode leaves me wanting more. I do wish each episode were longer.

Islam: The Untold Story (2012)
nikkimckelvy 2 points 4 years ago.

This documentary covers an interesting subject matter, but it is slightly incoherent and choppy. There is only a vague train of logic behind it. Additionally, their expert on Islam makes several false claims about both Christianity and Judaism. He clearly hasn’t studied the history of the other two religions and shouldn’t be discussing them.

Jonah: The Musical (2017)
nikkimckelvy 0 points 4 years ago.

Quite enjoyable. Productions like this are the reason I prefer live theatre to the cinema. I am amazed at the special effects possible with live productions. This is fun and watchable for the entire family.

Penny Dreadful: City of Angels (2020) S1 E4
nikkimckelvy 1 points 4 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

This episode is bordering on the surreal, really gross. It’s unbelievable. I know television portrays a fantasy life, but this episode is repulsive with no plot and it glorifies rape and abuse. Don’t watch unless you have a really strong stomach.

Good to see a young Sandra Bullock! These are some superheroes that need a remake.

The Islamic State (2014)
nikkimckelvy 1 points 4 years ago.

This is a very powerful documentary. It’s really good about diving into what is happening with ISIS.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (2015) S2020 E67
nikkimckelvy 1 points 4 years ago.

I like this show, but I think Mr. Colbert should cut down on the cussing or come up with funnier ways to address the issue that don’t include cussing. I also want to point out that Dr. Who had the first robodog: K-9.

Community (2009) S4 E6

At 14:06 (or there about) in the upper, left hand corner of the beige screen, there is what looks like a blurry cockroach! That whole area is blurry so you can’t tell for sure. Gross!

I loved Cop Rock! They should bring it back. I love the parodies in this show!

Not to be rude, but that man isn’t Monty’s biggest fan in America.

Science and Islam (2009) S1 E2
nikkimckelvy 1 points 4 years ago.

Again, he seems to have Islam taking credit for discoveries other civilizations made first. For most everything mentioned, Islam didn’t discover it, but it did play around with it and publicize it. That’s still highly intelligent, but they can’t claim to be the first or the leader.

Science and Islam (2009) S1 E1
nikkimckelvy 2 points 4 years ago.

I started watching this wanting to agree with the narrator’s premise, but he’s grossly inaccurate. Islam’s not known for it’s compassion (although it thinks it is). The religion known for its compassion is Buddhism. The basic philosophy for Buddhism summed up in a sentence, has always been, “The religion of infinite compassion.” Much of modern mathematics is based on Arabian scholars, but not necessarily Islam and the Quran. Much of what he’s claiming is Islamic is actually pre-Mohammed. Therefore it is Arabian but not Islamic. If you’re new to the field, watch this only for a general idea. If you’re knowledgable in the field, this is riddled with inaccuracies.

Penny Dreadful: City of Angels (2020)
nikkimckelvy 2 points 4 years ago.

I honestly don’t see much of a connection between this and its parent series, but I am willing to give this one a chance before I make my final decision. I will state that I have strongly mixed emotions about one of the central themes being the racism and classism against the Latin culture. On the one hand, I think it’s great that they are pinpointing an attitude that has been neglected by the media and history. On the other hand, I don’t want to see this attitude marginalized and accepted as right by modern society. So long as they keep the idea that racism is wrong, then it could be a really good, intense series. For now, I’m waiting for it to pick up, and I’m willing to see where it goes.

Miss Fisher & the Crypt of Tears (2020)
nikkimckelvy 1 points 4 years ago.

The lead’s acting skills have gone downhill, and the story is more whimsical than mysterious. Overall, cute, and watchable if you follow the series.

Ninja Busters (1984)

The information says this movie was release in 2018, but it was really released in 1984.

Forged in Fire (2015)
BladesofTroy 2 points 4 years ago.

No none of them are sold at auction. The laws in NY where the show is made mean the weapons must stay where they are. The contestants “Surrender” their weapons because they aren’t legally allowed to take them home.

nikkimckelvy 1 points 4 years ago.

Thanks.

Cheap, cheesy class B movie- something I enjoy!

Race Across the World (2019)
nikkimckelvy 2 points 4 years ago.

I’ve really enjoyed this series. I like the setup. I like the people. I like the positive energy. It’s my favorite way to travel, and I’ve actually traveled a large part of Latinamerica this way. Next race please!

I’m glad that the judges don’t insult the weapons so much has criticize them. I can think of a million insults about a blade that is extremely forward heavy with a tiny handle.

There is no better version of this series on television. The only better version is the book.

That guy does not understand the importance of the instrument he is describing.

The Magicians (2015)
nikkimckelvy 1 points 4 years ago.

I’m sad to see this one go. It’s weird, and cooky, and off beat. It should have been called, “The Magiciannes”

The Magicians (2015) S5 E12
nikkimckelvy 1 points 4 years ago.

This is the musical episode, and it’s awful. Katie is the only one who can sing, dance, and act, and she cannot sing well enough to make her super famous. She acts and dances much better than she sings. This episode is a pass. They chose horrible songs that do not blend with the storyline, and they pick people who can’t sing to sing the majority.

Excellent episode. I’m glad to see this one back. I didn’t think they could add any more twists and then they did! I can’t wait to see what they do next!

Is anyone else angered when a designer wins, and then they drop out of fashion completely? I mean there are literally thousands of other people who would give all they own to win and make their fashion brand memorable and a household name? For many of the winners it seems like, “I won. Now, I hate fashion, and I would love to be doing anything else.” Seriously, pull yourself from the competition first.

The Warrior and the Sorceress (1984)
nikkimckelvy -3 points 4 years ago.

Does the girl ever bother to wear clothes throughout the entire movie? I know in most movies of this type, the hero wears twice the clothing as the heroine, but this is extreme! I don’t think there was a full scene where she was completely dressed.
