Fatal Attraction (2023)
I thought this show was great
If anyone actually payed attention to the advertisements of this show, they would know that this is an ADAPTATION of the original. It is not a reboot. They are trying to show there are actions and consequences to said actions in today's day and age had something like this happened now.
I thought it was a great adaptation and it kept me wanting more. I thought Joshua Jackson played a great Dan Gallagher. It also says a lot when Steven Spielberg absolutely loves the remake of his original film and appreciates the storyline. Look outside the box and you will see it's a series worth watching AND enjoying.
Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies (2022)
Gross. Just gross.
I can't even finish watching this garbage. It's another tall tale about how it wasn't Casey's fault. GTFOH Sexually assaulted or not, that doesn't explain or condone you not looking for your daughter, especially since you now claim your father walked away with her saying she would be ok after what seems like he discovered her, dead in the pool. I cannot comment on the entire series as I could only get through the first 90 mins of it before wanting to repeatedly smash my face on the coffee table in hopes I would knock myself out so I didn't have to listen to anymore BS. Obviously, I just turned the crap off.
There is so much non sense in this series and no one seems to ask her the hard questions or challenge her. It's a poor poor little me fairytale.
Casey: You go from thinking your father molested you but aren't sure, to you stating he absolutely raped you while holding a pillow over your face to knock you out when you didn't want it. Without going into my experiences, I can absolutely say, without a doubt, that it's not something you forget. Especially if it's happening as frequently as you stated.
And there is the fact that they say you have ZERO signs of mental illness which makes it that much more alarming. It shows there is absolutely no excuse for your behavior before and after your daughter died. You probably were hungover as you said you didn't feel well that day and wanted to lay down and when Caylee wouldn't leave you alone to sleep, you taped her mouth shut and she suffocated.
LuLaRich (2021)
I can totally relate
My entire family got involved in an MLM scheme about 10 years ago. A sibling brought us in and he was like many of these women, right at the top, raking in the cash, traveling all over the world to train ppl but we were much lower down the chain so while he was buying a new home & got a new BMW as a bonus, we got maybe $100 a mth in payout. But then the pyramid started to fall and they too ended up in court. Lost their home and had to return their car. It was a mess. It all looks like peaches and cream at first but if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. It might not coming crashing down right away or even in 5 years but mark my words, it WILL come crashing down eventually. Get out before it's too late. Thanks for making this documentary to open up people's eyes to the real MLM scheme.
H. H. Holmes: Original Evil (2018)
They were narrating almost word for word from Will
Don't bother. It's awful. I didn't even get halfway thru.
Prior to watching documentaries, I like to get a better idea of the subject by looking on Wikipedia. Well shite, the show was narrated almost word for word from Wikipedia. I'm not even joking. It's absolutely ridiculous and soooo boring. It's even chopped up by section exactly like wikipedia. Wow. Sad excuse for a documentary.
He's All That (2021)
It was cute
Not sure why ppl are losing their minds over it and spending their time marking any and every positive review as unhelpful. If you don't like the movie, that's ok, move on.
It was a cute romcom for teens. I could have gone without the dance off myself but all in all, it was cute & my niece absolutely loved it and that's what is important as she's the crowd it's aimed at.
Alex Cross (2012)
Interesting to see a different side of Matthew Fox
Being that I grew up watching party of five, I never could've pictured Matthew Fox (the good-looking older responsible brother in POF) being a psychopath but I felt he played the character well.
Was it a blockbuster, no but it still held my attention. Maybe that's because I didn't have any expectations going in as I never read the books. Bottom line is, I was entertained and have seen far worse.
God Friended Me (2018)
I enjoy it
I think some ppl take this show too seriously. Like as if God is going to send you a friend request. Duh. Oh course not but I like that the show reminds me that everything happens for a reason. I find it entertaining & uplifting but more importantly, I like that it makes me think & reminds me to be kind, everyone is fighting some sort of battle.
P.S. I Love You (2007)
I really enjoyed it
Coming from someone who has lost far too many people I love in the last 5 years, I would've love to have kept that love alive a little longer. I guess we all do in our own ways like I recently found a letter dating back to 1997 from my best friend which was an amazing feeling. Probably what prompted me to watch this movie. Death is hard but seeing the love that goes on & on is gratifying. I would recommend thos movie.
Waco (2018)
Best mini - series on waco tragedy yet
Some don't agree with the facts of this series but it is based on the books of 1 of the survivors ALONG WITH the book of the FBI negotiator who were BOTH on scene as advisors for the series. So with that said, this is THEIR story to tell and I'm glad they took the time to tell it together.
This series humanizes the branch davidsons which is what I needed to better understand where they were coming from. Sure, they were considered a cult but they were also people who believed in a high power. Bottom line was, they needed David as much as he needed them. They found purpose in each other.
This series shows the horrific mistakes made by ATF & FBI which were initially covered up. It shows how careless big brother can actually be. It shows how some ppl act when given too much power, on both sides.
I am so glad I took the time to watch this series as it has brought a lot of unanswered questions to a close. But it was also a situation that could've been fully avoided. I've never agreed with some of the things that happened in that house but I definitely don't agree with what happened on the outside either.
Great work Taylor Kitsch, Michael Shannon & Rory Culkin at portraying the parts of 3 of the most important people in this story.
