Annihilation (2018)
Bizarre and Pointless
I like twists and sci-fi but this was just slow and pointless. Is it supposed to be avant-garde or new age? I am not sure what I just watched.
Visually the movie is good and sound editing is also good but storyline is lacking. The acting is good, the action is fun and CG is interesting. Will I run around telling everyone to watch this no.
The movie can be about cancer, insanity, chasing reality or some drug trip. So many unanswered questions after 2 hours.
The movie is from a book trilogy, maybe putting all three together would make sense?
If you have 2 hours to waste (like me) watch it. It did not shock, fascinate or haunt me like it is suggested.
Brimstone (2016)
Not Sure The Reason
Watched this movie on a friend's recommendation. Terribly disturbing and uneasing. I don't understand the high rating at all.
The abuse, torture degrading actions make this like a train wreck. I waited to see the appeal but couldn't find any. The abuse in this movie is absolutely sickening. If you like seeing little girls being beaten you have issues! The tongue cutting is another why?
My friend said the movie stuck with her and she can't get the visuals out of her head.
Plus side the casting and acting is good. The story is written into segments that put a puzzle back together.
Depressing dark and full of anger. The identity twist was the best part of the storyline. I am a little puzzled no one questioned her being someone else.
This movie doesn't do anything for me but make me question my friendship with the person that recommended it.
The Banshees of Inisherin (2022)
One for Collin One for Brendon and One for Donkey
I adore these actors and like other movies with them but this was a slow burn of nothing more than breaking a man and expecting a positive outcome.
I should acknowledge the sister and the dog too but not giving more stars.
Overall pretty depressing and not sure its a dark comedy but more of a tragedy. I am surprised at the high rating and really wanted to like it.
What happens when your best friend, your only family, your donkey andthe town kid you liked all leave you- nothing happy at all! Add a little mysterious old lady for some lore.
One a positive note, the scenery is beautiful and the dog lives.
The Serpent Queen (2022)
So Twisted
I didn't go into this for a history lesson, that is a different show. What I wanted was to be entertained and I was.
Great story! I like the way the strory is presented as 2 timelimes. It's a game of wits and who you partner with to gain the most.
Samantha Morton is amazing! The acting is great. The costuming is incredible. The characters are complex.
Just when you think you know where the storyline is going think again.
This is what happens when strong women keep their class on the outside but backstab and play a complex game to get what the want be it men, the crown, beauty and family lineage.
1899 (2022)
Not bad not good- I don't regret watching it
Well that was a roller coaster down a rabbit hole. Not the best acting and not sure why we have the mix of characters.
I do suggest watching it and paying attention. You might see hints of what's happening.
Bizarre beyond comprehension yet couldn't stop watching it. Don't expect spectacular but if you like twists and puzzle plots it's worth watching. The show of course left itself open for more.
I think the young boy is an amazing character and ties everything together.
Remembering is the heardest part of waking up from a dream. Always remember to wake up. Nothing is as what it seems no one is who they think they are.
The Sandman (2022)
Dream a Little Dream
Binged in 2 days. I found this series spectacular- visually, acting, casted, characters. I loved American Gods but I admit it got weird. The Sandman had the same appeal and with twitsts and storylines it made sense. Ok that sounds funny, how about it works.
The first episode was my least favorite but you have to watch it to get to the end.
Nope (2022)
Meh
I am not disappointed I went to see NOPE in theater but slightly just meh. It was ok and that's it ok wanted so much more. Never felt the characters connected it felt like we need an electronic geek, ok here's on. We need a camera dude, ok here's one. So many unanswered questions. The dialog was shallow too, not many words.
Lion (2016)
Wow-So many ways wow
Heart wrenching. I can only imagine what he went through aa a young boy. While watching the movie I researched the story of Saroo. Incredible!
Technology brought this man home. Google Earth and 5yr old memories.
Proving once again no matter how much we grumble about technology there is someone thankful for it.
Beyond the Edge (2022)
Why?
Who are these people and more so am I supposed to care? Terrible host, super cheesy Survivor knock off. Good for charity that is all I can say that is positive.
I found the people all having drama in their lives being sapy and the show plays on theiir weaknesses. I don't find it inspiring but painful.
The Power of the Dog (2021)
Slow super slow
Very surface not much depth into character or back story. I like the surprise although I figured that would happe . I would have much rather watched something else for 2 hours.
Lupin (2021)
Gees People Relax
So many it's a bad version poor writing and blah blah blah.
I say sit back and enjoy the ride. Stop co.paring everything to the other this and that. Just watch it likethe rests doesn't exist.
Yes his costume had cheesy beards snd yes its far fetched buts it is a great fun. With twists and turns.
Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat (1989)
Fun Little Gem
Great cast and just suoer fun
Don't expect award acting anf effects just enjoy a little fun and humor
Run (2020)
Plot has More Holes than Swiss Cheese
So far fetched from start to finish
From how she got baby to why is kid just starting to question things to if she is on all this medication wouldn't a Dr. be involved. Then there's the letter carrier, lets not even go there.
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
What did I just watch
2 stars 1 for rating 1 for cast
The makeup, CGI and story are horrible!
Did DC run out of money?
So many lame moments and pointless plots. All that slow build up for that ending.
Spare your self from losing 2.5 hours of life.
The Surgeon's Cut (2020)
Must Watch
Brilliant! Jaw dropping, inspirational, incredible and amazing
Highly recommend this series.
It brings a beautiful story to this amazing surgeons.
The brain Surgeon's story was so well portrayed. The parallel story telling of his road to America working as a migrant fatmer to being one of the top brain surgeon at Mayo Clinic is fascinating.
I Was a Teenage Wereskunk (2016)
Well that little stinker
Fun served with extra cheese.
If you are a B-movie fan this is a must see. If you can't appreciate B-movies you won't get it.
It's a love story, it's a comedy and musical. I actually found myself laughing out loud
It's just silly fun!
Butt Boy (2019)
Not bad campy or cheesy
A comment in a page I follow suggested Butt Boy. Being a huge B-Movie fan I had to know more. After looking into it, I decided to watch it.
I was not disapointed. It wasn't campy, cheesy or poorly done it simply has an unconventional plot.
It was simply bizarre yet I couldn't stop watching. Its not graphic and gross either, its surprisingly done tastefully implied
Letterkenny (2016)
Why do I even like this
It may be the fact I know each these people live in my area. We grew up together.
There are times I feel like a 13 year old that just made a joke about boobies. Other times I find myself just shaking my head that someone made this. But SO glad they did
The Convent (2000)
Cheesy Fun
Great movie super cheese! If you are a fan of stereotype 80s-90s horror with a mix of cheesy fx and gore this is for you!

The VelociPastor (2018)
My New Favorite
If you are a fan of b-movies this is like top rank b-movie! For a budget of $35K it's super cheesy full of fun! No hidden message just fun! Ninjas, prostitute, pimp, pastors and the scary ever so evil VelociPastor!
If you appreciate a good cheese just watch it!
