Welcome to my somewhat random selection of the movies and series on DVD and/or online I watched during November 2024.This was a seriously slow month. One big reason is we had a death in the family, which naturally disrupted my media watching. Overall, not a good month. Thus I am looking forward to December, where I hope to watch a holiday film or two along with other things. We'll see. In the meantime, this is how I wrapped up November.
Movies
and films (links to IMDB.com for basic information unless noted
otherwise). Some of these I watched via TubiTv.com or other online
source. The DVDs come from the public library (unless noted otherwise).
In addition, I will try to add other trivia notes, such as when a film
is based on a book adding the information about the book (at least the
WorldCat record if available).
- Thankskilling 3 (2012. Horror. Comedy). Plot description: "Fowl-mouthed
villain Turkie carves through the likes of a rapping grandma, a
mindless puppet, a wig-wearing inventor, a bisexual space worm, and
their equally ridiculous friends on his quest to recover the last copy
of 'ThanksKilling 2'". Yes, this movie skipped its sequel. I watched the first one back in 2022. I did not think much of it back then, but I suppose if you are a bit drunk from some wine and sleepy from turkey on Thanksgiving, you might not be as picky about what movie you may be watching. OK, I take that back. You may want to have at least some standards. The first movie was bad, but it was somewhat watchable. This is an incoherent mess that tries to be funny and gross, and fails at both pretty much. No real plot. No real direction. This definitely falls under "sequel no one asked for" nor needed. This is a 0 out of 5 stars, and one I wish I had skipped. You definitely should skip this turkey too.
Television and other series (basic
show information links via Wikipedia unless noted otherwise). Some of
these come in DVD from the public library. Others may be via YouTube,
which, as noted before, I keep finding all sorts of other old shows in
it, often full episodes:
- Hotel Impossible (2012-2017. Reality). Plot description: The show "is a reality television series from Travel Channel in which struggling non-chain hotels receive an extensive makeover by veteran hotel operator and hospitality expert Anthony Melchiorri and his team." I commented on this previously.
- Started and finished watching the third season as Tubi has it. The first 6 episodes are "undercover" episodes where he sends undercover inspectors to revisit properties he fixed to see if they kept the high standards or not. These episodes about 21 minutes or so in length, so they were a quick watch. On regular TV, they'd likely be 30 minutes with regular commercials added in. Rest of the season are regular 40 minutes or so episodes.
- Started and finished the fourth and final season. It has 12 episodes. Episode 3 in Woodstock was the episode where Anthony and his crew actually left over a seriously difficult owner who refused to see the various unsafe conditions despite expert testimony. I think overall they ramped up the drama a bit in this last season as it seemed to have some seriously difficult hotel owners when compared to previous seasons.
