Possessor (2020)
Does Sean Bean die in this piece of junk?
No Spoilers! How we can we reconcile extreme violence with good filmmaking in this film? It was just terrible. Sean Bean's career will die if he keeps picking the angry, controlling cardboard characters of late.
Acting given the bad script was decent. Okay one more time.. Disgusting and terrible.
The Gulf (2019)
Unlikeable Lead Character
The way she brow beats that poor boy on 2 occassions is so disturbing. Where is her empathy and ability to connect with a victim? I stopped watching half-way through the second episode so it is likely abusive tactics continued.
In addition it was deadly dull!
Hex (2018)
Cambodia is beautiful but...
...that is the only positive thing I can say. There was no suspense building because anyone who watches horror could tell that this very strange woman had nefarious plans for poor, stupid Ben. When he is hanging upside and about to be disemboweled, he is still ridiculously clueless! He says to this wacko woman, "are you all right? " She breezily walks away because he has served his purpose. The viewer really can't tell what that purpose was. My best guess is that evil conquered good. Yawn!
Greta (2018)
Trailer
Another filmed spoiled by too much information in the trailer. It seemed contrived and predictable. Pass.
The Axiom (2018)
Creepy!
I thought the cinematography really captured an out of this world feel. The actors portrayed believable characters in spite of the end game being somewhat predictable.
The Fix (2019)
Lead female ruins it for me
What is the big fuss about Maya? She is not a particularly good lawyer yet everyone raves about her. She lost a big case but her former co-workers want her back so she can lose it again? She is arrogant and self-involved yet she has 2 men over the moon for her and of course she has a stalker. The press and the public can't get enough of her This is Marcia Clark's narcissistic image of herself. What an unlikable character.
Project Blue Book (2019)
Project Dull Book
I enjoyed the first few episodes but it quickly became UFO of the week and about a government conspiracy trying to conceal their existence. (Yawn!). The subject matter is not sustainable for a series.
The male leads are good but they can not carry this unexciting and anti-climatic drivel.
Oh and the Stepford wife, Mimi? How does she get a storyline?
The Other Two (2019)
Finally! A funny comedy.
I only heard about this show from a social media comment by Ken Marino. Otherwise, I would have missed it. It needs more publicity. This show has great writing, great talent and so many laugh out loud moments.
The Clovehitch Killer (2018)
Tense Thriller
This was a good movie with excellent acting. Dylan McDermott (unrecognizable in looks, voice and mannerisms) played the complicated role of Don beautifully.
Black Noon (1971)
Thank you IMDb! I finally found this movie!
I saw this film at age 16 on TV and was so scared and entertained! I used the IMDb search engine by putting in the word :"desert", genre: "horror", "TV movie" and years: "1970 to 1979."
I have been looking for this for 3 years. Like many of the other reviewers on this site, it left such an impression. It still holds up after 47 years as a very frightening film.
I Still See You (2018)
Loved it!
I really enjoyed this original paranormal thriller with a dash of sci-fi elements.
Strangers (2018)
If it was not for John Simm...
I would not bother. Asking too much for suspension of disbelief. Why would the Hong Kong authorities even call the sham husband as next of kin.. in England no less? Her legal husband is a former, albeit disgraced policeman. Everyone except the daughter seems rather blase' about the bigamy.
It is uneven at best and boring at worst.
The First (2018)
One Season Show
Just when they finally are going to Mars, Hulu will drop the axe. The fact that they released all 8 episodes at once, is an indicator that the streaming service will not invest further into this well-acted but uneven drama. Not sci-fi!
Sean Penn is just not believable as an astronaut. Look at any pictures of real astronauts, they are smiling, clean-cut and yes, have an All-American vibe. He comes across as haunted, gaunt, humorless, world weary and looks uncomfortable in a military uniform.
I may have not paid attention ( at times this show was plodding and many family scenes repetitive), but I have no idea what is the significance of the guy with the dirty fingernails, telephones and quarter machines. He even has a name... "Lawrence." Are we meant to believe that he is some terrorist? I read many reviews and there are no mentions of this character.
The Sinner (2017)
Never watched Season 1 but I am loving Season 2
I watched 1 episode of season 1 and it did not enthrall me. I decided to give season 2 a chance and glad that I did. Its really compelling- well written, directed and acted . Elisha Henig who plays Julian is just incredible. He can be so creepy and he is sitting on a mountain of rage. He also can be appealing, vulnerable and so sad.
Absentia (2017)
Blah and Double Blah
Interesting concept that fell apart before the first episode finished. I am often not in favor of many television show cancellations. They usually ax the ones I like. However, I was relieved that they took this turkey out of circulation.
