Sexy Beast (2000)
9/10
Fantastic!
23 January 2021
Superb cast, clever writing and wonderfully executed acting and directing. I have watched this movie a few times over the past two decades from my 20's into my 40's and I enjoy it even more each time. Love this film.

Very moving film
11 January 2021
This is a wonderful movie. The timing of the release of this film may be unfortunate due to LaBeouf's personal life. However separating art from that, this is a wonderful movie. Everyone can find something to relate to in this movie, a character, their POV, their struggles, etc. I won't say more but it is so worth the watch.

Decent fun
10 January 2021
While trying to kill time during quarantined with COVID-19, I'm watching anything and everything. This movie has a great cast and comical moments that made me laugh out loud while watching alone. Gets a little sidetracked but worth the watch.

A very good woman!
9 January 2021
I liked this movie quite a lot because it has some surprises in it and that always makes me like a movie more. I also absolutely love everyone's accents. The lead actress, Sarah Bolger, does a fantastic job carrying the movie with the supporting actors offering up great performances as well.

Kingdom (2014–2017)
9/10
Absolutely all around entertaining
23 July 2020
I'm still trying to figure out why there was only three seasons of this show. It literally touches on almost every genre from drama to comedy to love while being very realistic with the MMA and fighting world. This show is hilarious and shocking sometimes but so freaking good. Wish there had been more of it.

Fight Club (1999)
9/10
An exhilarating, hilarious, disturbing ride
19 June 2020
I like to consider myself quite adept at deciphering movies, I figured out what was going on in Shutter Island very quickly. I'll just say, this movie takes you on an exciting journey with funny and mad characters with twists you won't see coming. Some of ALL these actors best work ever.

Joker (I) (2019)
9/10
Absolutely worth the chatter
19 June 2020
This movie provides so much depth into the backstory of the Joker character and a disturbed mind, and how much of that is just true madness or an actual character. Superbly acted and finally a well deserved Oscar win for Phoenix.

Knives Out (2019)
9/10
Creative and hilarious
19 June 2020
A wonderfully written comical suspenseful movie for all ages. Three generations of family members in our house loved it, in fact it was my 13 year old's idea.

Darwin (2011)
9/10
Very Intriguing
5 January 2020
This is a very interesting and even paced documentary. The residents may not be unique to any neighbor any of us may have but it is the combination of that and environmental factors that make it an interesting community. Worth watching.

Funny!
4 December 2019
This is very heavy on the comedy in horror/comedy and so worth watching. There really isn't anything to dislike. This goes to show what can be accomplished on a low budget but with great writing and precise comedic timing and appropriate delivery by actors.

Extremely accurate depiction
30 November 2019
Having worked in the foster care system, I can attest to the accuracy of this movie. I'm not certain of the director and/or writer's connections to this area but it was obviously exceptionally well researched. I could literally follow along a path of this happening even this many years later, as Philip Knight and I would be the same age, and in different countries where the foster care and adoption system may be a little different but not very much according to this. My only negative is the freaking music in the background.

Surprise Gem
13 November 2019
I was quite surprised with how much I enjoyed this horror/thriller, and those terms are very interchangeable here. There was a good plot, good segues, good amount of time. My only critique was a tiny bit of the acting being not so great but that's it. Even the comic writing, timing and delivery was very well done withthe young actors and reminiscent of some of the better horror/comedies like Shaun of The Dead with the funny little quips. Definitely worth the time and would watch again.

Belzebuth (2017)
8/10
Pretty good horror/suspense movie
19 October 2019
I was surprised by how much I did actually like this movie. I was a little concerned that length and dual languages might deter my attention a little but not at all. The movie was very well done. The story moves along at a good pace and though you may see a little of the path there is still good creepiness along the way. Definitely worth the time and much better than many of the possession/horror movies out there and especially with a not very well known cast, to me anyway, other than Tobin Bell.

Island Zero (2018)
7/10
Decent horror/sci-fi flick
6 October 2019
I only came to write a review because I was surprised how low the rating was for this movie. This is one of the better horror/sci-fi B movies or there that have better ratings, worth watching.

Threads (1984 TV Movie)

Disturbing but because it could happen
26 September 2019
This movie was disturbing to watch because of the fact that everything in it, and then some could really happen. This isn't a doomsday, apoplectic movie. The only risk if for survival. But it is heart wrenching to watch all of them struggle.

Loved It Chapter Two
8 September 2019
I thought they did a great job tying all the stories in together with the flashbacks from the younger versions to the adults. The special effects were amazing without being over the top, perfect amount. That old lady, holy crap. I love creepiness more than just scares or blood or kills but this has everything you could want and more I think.

Actually pretty funny
18 August 2019
This movie is worth watching for the one actor alone who swears there's something out there. He's freaking hilarious.

Very watchable movie
6 August 2019
I really enjoyed this movie. This is not a slow burn, they grab you from the beginning and keep the intrigue going. I will say I figured out twists but that didn't matter to me, the movie was just as enjoyable to watch.

Comes With a Twist
16 July 2019
No spoilers here but does comes with a couple unexpected twists that change the course of the travelers actions had they been different. I thought it was effortless and brilliantly done and selected wonderful actors for the parts.
