Boardwalk Empire (2010–2014)

Brilliant in every way!

[10/10 · 5 February 2022]

Tha costumes, the props, the characters, and the acting all transport us back to a different Era.

This is a gangland saga which mixes fiction with non-fiction. The stories and the characters are dark, coniving, and dangerous .

The series finale does not disappoint.

Dune: Part One (2021)

Spectacular

[10/10 · 27 October 2021]

If you are already a fan of Dune, this movie will not disappoint!

The effects and visuals were stunning, and I felt as though in a trance as I could not look away.

The Last Man on Earth (2015–2018)

We need a fifth season!

[10/10 · 3 June 2021]

Funny and original. What would life be like as the last man on earth??

Ramsay Behind Bars (2012)

Life Changing Television

[8/10 · 20 October 2020]

"Life changing taste" is a tag from the show. Mr Ramsay goes to work in a prison to get prisoners working. This is about change. Prisoners, with no real sense of direction, are taught that hard work and skills equal pride. Mr Ramsay has his own personal reasons for wanting to help these gentlemen. This show is about redemption for some, and is about rehabilitation for others. Kitchen Nightmares was always one of my favorite shows. This show, might not have the immediate sense of action in drama. However, the emotions triggered by seeiing one rise from the ashes, is more heart felt. There is still more than enough drama to keep us entertained. Thank you Chef Ramsay for changing lives in such a positive way.

Uncut Gems (2019)

Full tilt! Sandler has never done anything close to this!

[10/10 · 6 April 2020]

Fast paced and totally unexpected from Adam Sandler this movie keeps you guessing till the end. Must see!

The Bad Batch (2016)

Ever watch a Car Crash in Slow Motion?

[7/10 · 20 May 2019]

The first 15 minutes are shocking! From there, I felt as though my eyelids were forced open with toothpicks (I could not look away and did not want to blink).

There are many attractive people and other visuals, and some action, to keep you going which is good as there is not much dialogue.

The movie is slow, but who says every movie needs to be Bruce Willis's "Die Hard"?

If you made it this far into the reviews, you dont need another plot summary. It's an interesting film if you dig for meaning and/or want to experience drugs, and try to moralize cannibalism without actually taking part in such evil endeavors.

Definitely not for everyone......but I liked it

Avengers: Endgame (2019)

Stunning, emotionally charged, a little long

[9/10 · 29 April 2019]

Amazing film, and definitely worth watching. The pace was slower, but there was a lot of story building. I would rather that they built a story than to leave me guessing. However, I felt there was a little more emotional depth than I expected from a superhero movie... Not sure that I am complaining. Will definitely watch this one again! It was EPIC!

What We Do in the Shadows (2014)

Best, most original comedy I've ever seen!

[10/10 · 14 October 2018]

Mockumentary film. Feels like Dracula meets Big Brother.
