Hello,
I'll resume my iTunes countdown in the next day or two, my next countdown blog will feature the 11 songs tied for 44th place. Can you feel the excitement building, okay neither can I. Yeah, you can skip it or leave it behind is a new, semi-regular feature. I'll be highlighting things that I watched, listened to or heard about that you can skip.
First up is the new George Clooney movie, "Tomorrowland". I love George Clooney and think he's a great actor. However his new movie is only average, plus it's way too long. You feel every one of the 140 minute running time. Also for a movie that's suppose to be about the future, I was surprised by how many tired out cliches it used. Speaking of which the tired out cliche everything old is new again fit this movie like a glove. Yeah, you can skip it.
"Broadchurch" Season 2: the first season of "Broadchurch" was one of the best seasons of TV ever. However the two episodes I watched of Season 2 were boring and not entertaining. It's almost like the producers forgot all the things they did that made season 1 so good. Yeah, you can skip it.
"The Identical" movie, new to Netflix is this movie about twin brothers who were born to sing. I couldn't tell if it a rip off or a homage to Elvis Presley and his twin brother that died very young. But it's a very generic movie. It's so generic that the actor that plays both twins, his name isn't even a hyperlink on "The Identical's" Wikipedia page. Yeah, you can skip that.
"Bloodline" the final 3 episodes of Season 1. The first 10 episodes of this show's first season were absolutely amazing. I had to limit myself to only one episode per night or I would have consumed the whole show in 3 or 4 days. However the 11th, 12th and 13th episodes weren't terrible, but they also weren't amazing. Those last 3 episodes should have been condensed into 2 episodes and eliminated most, if not all, of the flashbacks and flash forwards. My suggestion to you the discerning TV watcher, watch the first 10 episodes. At that point leave the last 3 episodes behind, make up your own satisfying end.
"The Angriest Man In Brooklyn" movie: how can a movie with Mila Kunis and Robin Williams be so bad? This must be what they call a paycheck movie. All the things that made Williams so great in most of his movies was not on display in this movie. This movie about a man who was only given 90 minutes to live/ suicidal is haunted by that fact that Williams would take his own life only a short time later. Yeah you can skip that!
Dwight Howard's limited game: he gets by on his freakish athleticism but sadly he's 51 cards short of a full deck of cards. His shooting range is 3 feet and in. His free throws are so ugly that he shouldn't be allowed to shoot them until he can hit at least 70%. He's shooting about 32% from the free throw line in the series against the Warriors. How is that even possible? I'll tell you laziness and not having a killer instinct. Laughing on the bench while his team is down by 30 points tells you all you need to know about Howard. Howard could care less about winning. If he really cared about winning he would have more of an offensive game and could hit over twice his current free throw percentage. The rest of the Rockets season, yeah you can skip that. Golden State will close out the Rockets in Game 5 on Wednesday and I predict by a whole lot of points.
But you don't need to worry about Howard, he made $30 million this year for playing half the season and underachieving. What does he care, he gets paid no matter what.
