Sarah (7800 KP) rated Supernatural - Season 2 in TV
Oct 7, 2019
The one thing that does lack a little in this series is the spirits/demons themselves. They don't seem quite so inventive as the first series, however this is only because there is a much bigger wider plot going on with the psychics and yellow eyed demon. This makes it a lot more serious and darker, but that's not to say it doesn't have it's lighter moments. The episode with the Trickster is downright hilarious, and there are some wickedly funny one liners and interactions between the brothers. It is looking a bit dated now, unsurprising seen as it first aired over a decade ago, but it's still good and also has a killer soundtrack. My only other criticism is the beyond irritating opening credits and recap scenes that plague every single episode. I really hope they don't carry these on across every season...
Awix (3310 KP) rated Terrordactyl (2016) in Movies
May 25, 2020 (Updated May 25, 2020)
A bit overlong even at only 95 minutes, but there is the odd funny line, a sort-of coherent plot, and various attractive young people, the female ones in tight tops. But neverthless: back when special effects were routinely awful, film-makers worked hard to make their stories and characters seem credible; now any goon with a laptop can do decent CGI, the default mode seems to be 'let's not get caught taking ourselves remotely seriously'. Some kind of creative cowardice is in operation at some point in the making of a film like this one. Sample line of dialogue, after one of the female characters is eaten: 'You reptilian asshole! I was about to get laid!' Casablanca, eat your heart out.
