Dumplin' (2018)
Lovely, feel good film!!!
For me Jennifer Aniston is my ultimate favourite actor. However, Her portrayal of an ACTUAL southern draw, didn't hit it from me. I lived most of my adult life, in Louisiana and Texas and the accent was a bit much. Over all, the movie was great. It portrayed of how slim, sexy skinny girls have it better off in beauty pageants, and often-times get judged. Her acting was on par though!!! Whomever played the girl named Dumplin did a fabulous job!!! I loved the setting of people judging heavier set girls, and what they have to deal with in real-life. My mother was an extremely large woman and we often got picked on cause our mother was "FAT". This is an excellent example of how NOT to Body shame!!! I loved that there was some what of a chick flick feel to the movie, as well. All around it would of gotten 9 stars, i didn't care for the fake southern accents, but that's me and one of my pet peeves.
Annihilation (2018)
Horror, but Not Horror!!!
It takes a lot to scare me. This definitely was NOT horror. I know everyone has their own favourite Genre of movies, typically horror, paranormal anything related to those topics, I'm all over it!!! This time, I pretty much demanded 1 1/2 hours of my life back. It jumps all over the place. First, Natalie portman plays a biologist, who investigates everything upon going into the Shimmer. Natalie portman always plays, best of the best roles. Nothing less than a dr or a scientist for her. Granted she IS a great actress, but she should of stuck to Star wars or Marvel Cinenamatic Universe. I grew very tired the first 20 minutes, when she was having flash backs of her husband, before her husband went into THE SHIMMER. The monster or MUTATED BEAR that ate her colleague, that also used the voice of her dead colleague, was LAME. Then it goes back to her sleeping with a black guy that she had an affair with. This movie is also pretty much PC to the point, of "I am woman, here me roar" theme is growing old with me. All female, military, and big role playing, for dr. physiologist, etc. Hollywood needs to lay off that, and just make descent movies. So, if you're into the MUTATED theme, this movie is for you. If not, don't bother you will get bored the first 20 minutes, with repeated flash backs of Natalie portman's character having sex with her husband and affair that her character had with a black guy.
It left us hanging with her asking if the clone was her husband Cane. Yes, this movie also made clones after she destroyed THE SHIMMER. I'm sure that the book was better. The Movie did no justice, to the book and I haven't even read it. Mutation and clones, but it definitely was NOT horror. I have a feeling there will be an Annihilation II.
The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
Best classic movie!!!
I love Morgan Freeman and have been to the Mansfield reformatory once. It was closed for the season. This Prison, has been used in multiple movies. Anyhow, back to the rating. I give it a 10, i love movies with a narrative setting. Also, loved the fact that he was in prison for a crime that he didn't commit, and he was able to have posters, especially of Rita hayworth in his cell. I didn't particularly, care for the SISTER'S theme, but I do know it happens in prisons, so i can appreciate the set-up for that scenario. I love how Tim Robbins character, developed a relationship with a younger guy so he could mentor him, and then he got killed by the warden's guards. I also loved the ending, when he got revenge on the Warden, and was able to escape with all of the warden's money. Best classic Movie!!! I do end up not watching the Sister's scenario, but other than that this is truly, one of the best classic movies EVER.
Correcting Christmas (2014)
Feel-good Holiday Movie
I was anxiously waiting for Michael Muhney, he's a great actor with a promising full-filling career, as a stand alone actor, in any film. In Giving the Main FEMALE character, a chance to go back in time, and fix a break-up so that the couple would stay together, is a really great synopsis. if we could all go back in time, and FIX BREAK-UPS, in real-life, I don't necessarily think it would be good. But, thankfully it's fiction and I also Loved Gloria Loring, as well. She's a great Veteran actress. I'm really hoping to see Michael Muhney, get more movie gigs.
Castle Rock (2018)
Phenomenal!!!
I'm a huge Stephen King fan. Obviously, I haven't read the book yet. But this series is extremely promising. Sissy Spacek, is one of my favourite actresses!!! a guy shows up in one of the most famous prisons, Shawshank also filmed in Mansfield, Ohio, via the Ohio State Reformatory Prison. I've been there, and plan on going back again!!! My husband and I saw the first two episodes. The warden decapitated his own head, due to a tumor diagnosis. Another guy gets locked into a prison, that the guards have never ever seen before, is very interesting especially with the mixed up symbols on their head. Now I'm curious to see how the mysterious guy is going to get RID of the NEW WARDEN'S problems...I will be watching more. Stephen King, does a phenomenal job of keeping you in suspense at the same time, making you jump-scare for sure!!! I HIGHLY recommend y'all to watch this new series!!! it's extremely promising!!! If anyone is a MCU fan, of Thor or the Avengers, Bill Skarsgárd, is Stellan Skarsgård's son.
The Karate Kid (2010)
Not The Karate kid, it should be named Kung fu kid
This should not be named Karate Kid. However, since I really like Will Smith, this was actually not a bad remake. I agree with the other user below, it's Kung fu and not actually karate. There will NEVER be an actual remake or copy cat of Daniel Larusso...aka Ralph Macchio. Not much action in it, except Jackie Chan, and Jaden Smith being taught how to fight against the bullies and winning in the end. The only move that was done remotely close to the original movie was when he attempted the Crane Technique...Good Try though.
Cocktail (1988)
Another excellent Tom Cruise movie and classic 80's movie
Excellent classic 80's movie, which was the best time-frame ever. I don't normally care for Tom Cruise, but this is his better of the other movies he's already been in. I absolutely LOVE Elisabeth Shue, she's an excellent actor and the chemistry between tom cruise and her is perfect!!! Will be watching this again..;) Unfortunately, I only have streaming netflix, will be upgrading to the DVD plan and renting this one first!!!
I have seen several of Tom Cruise and Elizabeth Shue movies, not together but this one they did really great in. She needs to make another movie with Tom Cruise. Excellent story about a poor guy and a rich girl, which the movie industry does NOT make enough of. I know that the industry is running low on ideas, but if they did a remake and properly respected both actor's it would be an excellent edition to the classic movie, as well.
The Avengers (2012)
Simply Awesome!!!
But then again anything with Robert Downey Jr. in it is Simply Awesome!! I am also now interested in Thor. My title pretty much sums up what I think of this movie! I will gladly watch another one, if I can find out if another one is being made or not?
I'm going to watch it again on Netflix. I would like to know if this is the only one out there? The avengers and if there is going to be another The Avengers, as well. I will watch that one too! Normally, my genre of movies is Paranormal, Syfy or Stephen king related, but this works for me, as well. I will now look into action films, as being my second favourite Genre of movies and television!..;)
The Secret Circle (2011)
Definitely worth seeing!!
Usually when you hear of paranormal series like this you automatically assume that it's about Vampires and Ghosts. This is about witches!!! I am highly interested in anything in the paranormal genre. Somebody needs to continue writing more with the witches setting. Paranormal is my favourite subject. I was shocked the writer's left the ending the way they did, assuming there would be another set/series added to this. Hopefully, they come out with more. You can't just leave your fanbase hanging, but other than that would highly recommend this series. I saw mine on netflix. Michael Graziadei, from the Young & the Restless he did an excellent job as usual!! I will be patiently waiting for more from The Secret Circle series.
