Graveyard Stories (2017)
Time to Bury This Garbage
This movie is incredibly bad. It looks like it was created by a group of film school students attending a class in a small town somewhere. The stories are not only predicable, but in some cases (like the "black magic" doll - minus the black magic) make no real sense at all. This might actually qualify as a "so bad it's good" film, except for some boring sections that are just painful to watch. Stay far away from this mess and watch one of the British horror anthologies from the 70's instead.
Outsourced (2010)
Comfort Food TV
(No "spoilers") Those who give this show a negative review pretty much miss the point of the show, in general. It certainly was humorous, but not in a cutting-edge, sarcastic way (see "The Office"). There was also an undercurrent of poignancy that should be appreciated. The characters were well fleshed-out in a short period of time (unlike, say, the ultimately brilliant Sci-Fi classic "Star Trek - The Next Generation"). The acting was really good and it felt "comfortable". This is the best way that I can describe this show. You don't want to join those who quickly compare it some other show and then hammer out a poorly considered assessment that is in disagreement with most of those who took the time to write a more informed review. Although I loved the finale (which nicely tied up some loose ends), I was sorry to see it go.
