Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024)
Happiness equals Beettlejuice and Keaton!
Years ago I took my daughter to watched Beettlejuice the orginal movie. This time she took me. We were really glad to see that the sequel had Keaton and some of the other original characters. This one is as much fun as the original. (Between my daughter and I we are 127 years old. Bettlejuice is not the one who is very old, lol. He's the evil character you love to see!) Not to take away from the rest of the actors, we were not disappointed. Really enjoyed both the old and new characters. Really glad to see William Defoe and Danny DeVito and of course Winona Ryder. Plus the old and new dead people.
For the Gram (2023)
Can you rate a movie with a zero?
I'm confused, the real name of the person playing the main character of this movie doesn't seem to match the name of the of the main actress of the movie, I just watched, but what shows up at the top of this review matches what shows up in Tubi. Of course, I could guess why (see my rating). This is supposed to be a serious revenge movie, which confuses me even more, since I was (and am still) laughing. First of all, the little black girl that is supposed to be the main character as a child, turns white as an adult. How? She wants revenge because some one posted a video, that she had posted before, (LOL) about her and a team. I know, I'm very confused also. This is the worse movie I have ever seen and I am 77 and post reviews here often. I am still laughing.
Unsettled (2023)
I agree "great little gem of a film", by another reviewer.
I really liked this movie. I'm 77 and I have been a fan of horror movie since the first one my dad allowed me to go see: The Blob 1958. This is one of the best underrated horror movie that I have seen in a long time. It is creepy without actually showing much, it's all the small details, you have to pay attention. Both main actors were excellent, while being very low key. Just regular college buddies. This proves that you don't need to show a lot of terrible and creepy things, I know many don't agree with me, but I have seem more horror movies than most people. Also very good choice in terms of the music, spanning generations. I even got to sing along. And then I had to restart the ending twice, for some strange reason it would just stop.
Trap (2024)
Favorite psycho movie since the show Dexter
Let just say that when it comes to horror movies or shows, I'm there. (I guess something within my brain is not quite right since I got my Doctorate in Psycho-logy, half a century ago. I guess it partly damaged my brain dealing with those people, lol. Also like campy M. Night Shyamalan, of whom you don't know what to expect: really good or trash. I read the reviews and I am left wondering, what the heck did those people expect? This is a campy movie. What is campy? "intentionally exaggerated thematic or genre elements, especially in television and motion picture". Sorry if you wanted some intellectual movie, this is NOT EVEN REMOTELY IT. Waiting for the sequal.
The Inherited (2015)
Finally, it finished
Sat a few minutes with my fingers on my computer's keyboad trying to decide how to refer to this move. I settled for convoluted in a bad way. When I was growing up 3/4 of a century ago, just about every movie was from the British Isles and asides from a few comedies, they were all about some haunted manor, with the main character being one of three possibilites, actor wise. I was a fan even as a young child. I think this mess was trying to recreate those movies, but in the US. How I miss those three actors! Lets just say, I hated this attempt. The only good actor was the cute dog at the start.
Alice in Terrorland (2023)
A different re-telling of Alice in Wonderland.
This movie has very bad ratings, so why do I give it a 10? Because I see it not as a fairy tale, but a story of greed so terrible that it's hard to believe how it brings out the worse in a person. First; I have to say two things about me. One, I am a retired psychologist, so I have seen evil very close. People like one of the characters. Second, I am 77 and I still have my copies of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass for almost as long as I have been alive. Both books show the age, but they have been with me throughout all my moves, which included intenational. That's how much they meant to me. This is movie shows the evil side of one of the character, the Red Queen if anyone is wondering. Obviously not a version to take a child to see.
Snow Falls (2023)
I should know better.
This is a silly movie, written by people who have never been to a really cold area of the US in winter. A group of friends decide to go to the cabin (mansion) of the parents of one of them, in the middle of winter. There is notice in the radio of two big storns, one after the other, coming to their area. Most people would get in their cars and leave ahead of the storms, taking into account they have very little food, and a total of 3 logs for the fireplace. (Sorry for laughing, I live in northen Minnesota.) They have winter coats, which don't seem to work, and some of them don't even bother to zip them up or cover their heads. Can't say anything else, but if you live north of Florida, you should be able to guess what happens. Lol.
Wake (2024)
Not able to give it less than one star.
No wonder the main character could not get a movie role! The actress playing the part was just as bad as the character she played. I don't even know how I will be able to meet the required character minimum letters, but I must to save people from watching this painful experience. I will mention that the former famous actress, our main character intruded, caregiver liked her as much as me. As in not even remotely. Too many people, now-a-days want to be screen writers, and I'm assuming, don't bother to learn what it takes to make a movie. At least when my son and his friends in high school would borrow my camera, they would go comedy or kung fu. Lots of laughs a minute. Do not bother.
Lillith (2019)
I'm a fan of horror movies, this one is beyond ridiculous
What is there to like? Maybe the dumb male friend of the group. At least he was not beyond ridiculous. He just stood around. To be honest, I did not watch this stupid movie all the way. I was so sick and tired of it very soon. Now that I think about it, I did like the "girlfiend" that got angry with the moron who decided that summoning Lillith was a good idea, and dumped her. (If they made up, I don't know, because by then it was a sort of not at all funny comedy, or least I think that was it really was.) If any of those people actually went to an acting academy they must have been kicked out, after week one.
Never Saw It Coming (2018)
Really enjoyed this dark comedy
I'm old, been watching movies longer than the average person in the US has been alive. Once in a while I will give a movie a 10. Well I really enjoyed this one. I have no idea what the people who gave it very low scores were smoking. So many twists, that at times I was asking myself: "What the heck? Lets just say not many brains were in use during the making of this move. I would grade it as a collection of stupid people, doing obviously stupid things. It will take the police woman ages to sort it all out. Will I watch it again? Most likely in a few years from now. Did like the ending. Justice was not served.
Dark Whispers: Volume 1 (2019)
If a group of people that like tomatoes give a high rating..
And people here give it half the points, I pay attention. First thing I noticed was "Featured Review" (you can bet that I always read what FR says. Especially when the rating is 9/10 or 10.) First thing I noticed the reviewer got some in the wrong order. I "can see" the person was "paying attention". Sorry to say, I did not like this movie although I'm all for poppets that can cry like pinocchio (played him in fourth grade). (By the way the person missed the interesting thing about a "mermaid".) Still a fan of this site, not at all the other. Been watching horror movies for 70 years. And yes, I give 10 when it's a really innovative and intersting movie.
Chak dan juen ga 2 (2020)
I must have missed something.
I was looking over the reviews for this movie and was impressed by the stars give. LOL I guess they had a lot of friends that were invited to the party, close to the begin of this movie. First scenes: bloody women asking help from what I thought was a dead body. I was asking myself "what the heck". Then the ground splits and the non-dead guy ends up dead. Next come a scene with two women, on the phone who are going to see each other later, talking non stop while a guy sufferes. I'm sorry but ten stars??? If I had to classify this movie, I would rate it as a comedy because I was laughing. A person wrote: excellent directing and convincing, folowed by "would cut down twenty minutes", "slopppy CGI", "score cheesy and over bearing". Etc. LOL Yep, sure 8 stars. Had it been a comedy, I would have give it a few stars.
Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (2012)
Decided to watch this movie, because I was bored.
This movie came out a long time ago, but it showed up on my computer today. Why don't ask me why, NO idea. Not the first, by far, based on ONE of the convoluted mix of three books mentioned that were not related to each other, writen by different authors, not really based on any of them. I read them all long, long ago while still a child. The mix ended up in the Pacific Ocean, although not all three books were in that one. Then they mentioned the WRONG island that sank into the ocean. (Hint: it was in the Atlantic which is why it is known as ATLANTIS. The one in the Pacific was Lemuria.) I was nice and gave it a two because I supposed it was meant for young kids, although there were no young kids in the movie.
Koma (2019)
Not your common everyday movie.
Number one reason I liked this movie, it's something that I have never seen before, and I have been watching movies for the last 68 or so years. It didn't take me long to figure out this was a Russian movie. Not that I'm an expert on Russian movies, as far as remember this is only the 4th one. They are different but I can't really tell how. This falls under altered reality, but with an amazing reality unlike that of other movies of similar genre. Loved the visuals found them quite unique. It's a future unlike any other, created by a twisted person and his followers with the hero not quite there.
Lyla (2023)
What just happened?
To describe this movie in two words: Convoluted Mess! Or maybe I could go with Existentialst Nihilism mess. Brought me back to when I was getting my psychology doctorate, more than half a century ago. (In a bad way.) Lucky Tubi is free. Lets just say I kept having to stop, go back a few scenes and forward again trying to figure out what was going on. Poor kid or was it kids? Can't tell. I was in the mood to watch a horror movie which is why I kept wasting my time. I spent much of my time asking myself, wasn't so and so dead or was I losing my mind or was I just confused. Needless to say I am not watching this "movie" again.
Hellblazers (2022)
Really enjoyed this movie
Did it have it's ups and downs? Sure, but I have been watching horror movies since I was a kid and I am 77. I was a fan of many of the older actors going way back, so it was nice to see them again. Even if for just a few minutes. I remembered many of the movies, I saw them on before. Much younger people than me, don't even know who they are. Like another person mentioned, there were a number of inside jokes, related to their previous movies. Not a bad way to spend a part of my day. It is always nice to remember the past. The younger actor were just fine in their roles. This is not supposed to be Hollywood block boster.
Amityville Hex (2021)
There should be a zero rating.
I like horror movies, been watching them for the last 68 years or so. Some great, some okay, others lousy with some redeeming value, at some point. Today this mess is the second I try to review. Twice today, I have wished for a rating of zero. Unfortunately IMDb doesn't have that as a non-rating option due to total garbage. I thought the other was horrible (in a very bad way), this thing is even worse. Maybe it has to do with me being older than the people who made this two pieces of c (oh wait, I don't think I am allowed to say that) grandparent's. Why do people waste money buying movie camaras to do this to the viewers.
Arctic Armageddon (2023)
Too bad there is no zero choice
This movie falls under my top lousiest category from the very start. First of all this has to hold the record for worse acting in a movie. I felt like I was watching a bunch of robots playing humans. No doubt the worst politically correct movie I've had wasted 24 minutes on. (And the most famous drag queen in history was one of my friends in high school. Our Spanish teacher got him his first gig, while we were still in high school in 1964. None of us found that strange, in the 1960's, so that is not the problem.) Would I recommed this movie to my worse enemy, you betcha! Oh, I hope some of the actors survived this armageddon.
Shortcut (2020)
Can a movie with monster be boring?
This could have been an interesting movie but somehow it managed to be so convoluted to the point of silly. Made little sense. It had dead animals, psycho killer, secret underground bunker??, dead people (nope not zombies), creapy monsters, back story, boastful overweight kid, mean kid cover with blood or was it some strawberry syrup, brave girl, (what the heck) chewed girl "don't worry about me"??, hero boy, guilty coward trying to find sister about fifty years later from where he left her entering cave. Lets just say it was so lets add everything except the kitchen sink that I put it on hold and took an hour nap. I forgot stupid driver that ended up dead by doing stupid thing. Again LOT less would have made interesting movie.
The Scarehouse (2014)
I would give this piece of garbage a zero if that was an option,
It would only be a good thing if the person watching it was a extre sadomasochist. I actually kept skipping through it, to see if it had some sort of redeming value. Believe me there was not. Of course there is the one on the top of the insanity pyramid and her follower, who sort of knew better. Can't imagine why Tubi would play this thing. This movie is more in keeping with one of those late night movie theaters that only the super sick go to. Almost as bad as one that I actually reported to the authorities, because it was obiously real. Let say it played after midnight in a three letter channel that starts with H and ends with O.
Desecrated (2015)
I 100% agree with another reviewer.
If I could give this movie a 0, I would. I've been watching horror movies since most of the people alive now, were yet to be born. The premise of this movie, in theory was great. The begining seem fine, another slasher movie. I'm okay with them. But the first time the princess opens up her mouth I know I will hate her. Then come her gang of imbeciles, who think they are God's gift to the universe. Immediately, I hate them all. In a normal horror movie there is at least one character you wish makes it out. NOT here. Unless it's the bad guy, which in this case, I will most likely be rooting for, for slaying them all. (No idea if that's the case, I couldn't even make it to the end. If it's the other guy that's not part of the group, good for him.)
Prehistoric Predators (2023)
Have to be honest, I did not make it past 16:16 minutes
Close to the very starts a sizeable woman takes her top off and plops to the shower, followed by some clouds. What? We find out there is a crash and the tv anouncer tells us the US military is going to an island infested by dinos, with a nothing to see here attitude, This is followed by another sizeable woman walking around in a forest. She says something I can't make out. (Let me quote my brain: "what the heck".) Sees the dinos, stays as cool as it gets. I like campy horror movies but this is goes beyond to stupid. Loved Plan 9 from Outer Space, The Bloob, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, Rocky Horror Picture Show the ORIGINAL (had a crush on the Sweet Transvestite,) I actually ordered it from the UK, before it was even available in the US. (Very Pricey.) This movie is NOT campey, it is plain stupid. If you are into big boobs, go for it.
Monster Grizzly (2023)
Yeah, I know most people will not like it.
It so happens I am not one of those people. Maybe because I live in the middle of nowhere, where walking among trees in the middle of winter is as realistic as it gets in this movie, for people like me. We don't get to see what we would expect in a movie of that name, but I don't care. It's a very low key movie that most people will not get. I had a lot of fun during the scene where the pretty young woman is hitting on the old guy, until he finally gets it. LOL Her explanation is something I understand being a retired psychologist. Men have changed a lot throughout the years. (Don't want to offend guys, if you are watching this movie, it doesn't apply to you.) LOL.
First Contact (2023)
I laughed, due to the "8 star" movie.
Let me quote the one review I found: "thank the Great people at "Uncork'd Entertainment" for sending me this screener to share my review with you." Right below there is a place where you agree of disagree (with the 8 star review). It seems that we, except from the person who posted the quoted sentence, pushed the disagree botton. I'll pretend this movie was not called First Contact, heck even I had a contact, not recently but when I was 16, almost 61 years ago. There were the original Foo Fighter (not the awesome group, I'm an old rocker) but the ones that showed up during WWII, that Military pilots agreed to having seeing them. Heck, Columbus reported lights in the sky in his journals, while in the waters of what is now Puerto Rico. Then the boyfriend of girl taking shower, eyes turned strange the morning after something in the sky. Sorry have to go laugh some more. I gave it an extra point for making me laugh.
Where the Devil Roams (2023)
Talk about different!
This is as twisted as any movie can get. Completely different experience, watching it. Took me back to the 1800's and forward to when the freak shows finally ended. Not that I'm that old but old enough to have watched some of those insane movies in the 1950's (mostly in the middle of the night when only somewhat warped people would watch them). I agree with one of the reviewers comments: "Like a puzzle that may not look like it is fitting together... it totally makes sense". Yes I got what the person meant. Not for the faint of hear. At times, I was not sure I would watch to the end, but I did and glad of it.
