6 Underground (2019)
Why complain? Awesome action!
I think people are sooo jaded with their snarky reviews. Complaining about it being "typical Michael Bay" is like saying Meryl Streep is only about accents or Peter Jackson is only good in Middle Earth. The truth is that these guys are EXCELLENT move makers. Let them do what they excel at doing.
I thoroughly enjoyed the action, special effects, relationships and yes, CGI. Particularly liked the old throwback TV/movie/music references and laughed out loud at the Aviation Gin. For the complainers, exactly how much "substance" can you get in a 2 hour movie? I liked this movie far more than I was prepared to and I truly hope this is made into a series of films with the overthrow of endless bad guys. Stop thinking you all are armchair Siskel & Eberts and just enjoy the ride.

Haven: Butterfly (2010)
Such HUGE technical mistakes!
Aside from the other 2 continuity "goofs," it was thoroughly annoying to see in the final FAST car race to "wake up Bobby" up in the mountain cabin that for more than a full minute during the fast-paced drive that the scenery outside Agent Audrey's window stayed at a standstill on the same White Birch branches/twigs. Totally takes you out of the moment as it framed the entire scene around her head out the passenger window. And it KEPT happening with the same stupid branch scene tho it switched back and forth multiple times and drove multiple miles.
Seeing this so early on in a series makes me want to quit the binge-watch I had planned for a Stephen King story. Pretty disappointed for whomever was the unprofessional person in charge of cinematography continuity. I'll give it one more episode I guess but since I wasn't watching this to find errors, I'm afraid that my mind is just going to be looking for such crass mistakes...
Harmony (2018)
I'm Neither Cast, Crew or Teenager - GOOD FLICK!
Anyone who can't see this as a gem of a movie is as deep as a formulaic Action Flick. It is so sad that the lead actress died before the movie's theatrical release as I could truly see this as a series.
It's layered, intriguing and interesting. You do NOT need to be an "Empath" any more than you need to be a vampire or wizard for Twilight or Hogwarts. Just enjoy a suspenseful and non-Rom Com film, very well made for such a low budget flick.
Don't Talk to Irene (2017)
As many memorable punchlines as "Heathers!"
This movie could have been much more predictable but some great writing pulled it up! I found myself howling at some of the Retiree repartee! While this movie probably was done by a newer director, it kept my attention and certainly generated laughs through some unrealistic scenarios. You have to look at the entire thing as a fantasy - especially with the Greens Davis narrative. While it can't be held up as Oscar worthy, I guarantee that some of the funniest lines will have you laughing days from now. Also, mad props to lead actress Michelle McLeod for so unselfconsciously playing Irene and making someone who at first came across as homely and pathetic into a totally lovable character by movie's end. A FUN WATCH!!
