The Undoing (2020)

Very Captivating Psychological Thriller

[9/10 · 9 March 2021]

I felt compelled to leave a review after seeing all of these low reviews. This definitely does not deserve two or three stars. I think people didn't like the ending but to me it was based on reality. It keeps you guessing and I didn't really honestly know what was going to be the outcome which I appreciated. The acting by Kidman and Grant was simply stellar and the supporting cast was fantastic as well. It really made you think and for that I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Followed (II) (2018)

Wow! What did I just watch?

[1/10 · 16 February 2021]

Oh where to begin? Let me just say that the scariest thing in my mind was that I wasted 90 minutes of my life on this film (if you can call it that). Was it supposed to be scary or funny? Quite honestly it was neither. I decided to clip my toenails towards the middle because that was more entertaining. I really should have known better. Shame on me.

You're Next (2011)

Very Disturbing and Realistic

[9/10 · 15 February 2021]

I think what made this an incredibly disturbing and stressful movie for me was that I could actually see something like this happening. Overall it was very well done and much better than I expected it to be, especially since it was an indie. Despite that, it had a very good production and the acting was very solid all the way around, especially by the lead actress. She was kick ass and I appreciated this. I actually had to look away a few times and I kind of got a sick feeling to my stomach, so I know that it is good because of that. To me, when a movie can bring out emotions like that it is the sign of a good movie. Other movies of the same genre didn't have as much of an impact as this did. I credit the very good direction, sound, production values, and quite good acting. I definitely won't see again because of the content, but I would definitely recommend if you want to be scared and sit on the edge of your seat.

Open 24 Hours (2018)

Stupid Girl

[5/10 · 18 January 2021]

I'm sorry, but why is it that many lead women in horror films being chased always have to run INTO buildings as opposed to run out of them and keep running? I was yelling at this girl lead several times out of frustration. Towards the end I just wanted her to die and get it over with. It had potential and I will say the photography and sets were good. The director also did a good job with creating a creepy mood. I just can't get over some of the dumb decisions made by this girl. For that reason I give it 5 out of 10.

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Good but not great

[7/10 · 26 December 2020]

I had real high hopes because I loved the first one so much. This one was a letdown I must say, but still was good nonetheless. It didn't have as much action as I would have liked and the CGI looked a bit fake. The story was a bit cheesy in parts but I still enjoyed it as entertaining. I loved seeing Kristen Wiig in the role of a villain. I thought she did a great job. I probably would have preferred to see the role of Pedro Pascal given to a bigger star. He did a decent job but the casting was a bit odd to me. Of course Gal Gadot is wonderful and makes a great Wonder Woman.

The Hardy Boys (2020–2023)

Entertaining series.... not perfect but good

[8/10 · 13 December 2020]

I have to say I love the Hardy boys and Nancy Drew mysteries from the '70s. I read some of the books, but didn't read all of them. I will say it has a edgier twist than previous versions. But it doesn't make it any less entertaining. I think the actor who portrays Joe was quite good. It does drag a bit towards the middle but then will pick up again just when I am getting a little bit bored. It kept me wanting to see more episodes so that is a good sign. I am not a reviewer who compares films or series to the books that they're based on so keep that in mind. I look at things individually and don't try to compare every little thing to what's in the books. Y ou may be disappointed if you want something exactly like the books. But from my point of view, I feel although it isn't exceptional I think it is a solid effort and worth a watch.

Wonder Wheel (2017)

Better Than Expected

[8/10 · 17 June 2018]

I'm actually not a huge Woody Allen fan. But I must say that this film sucked me in and held my attention the entire time. I could kind of see where it was going, but the production values and especially the acting was top notch. I actually even enjoyed the dialogue and felt Kate Winslet should have received an Academy award nomination. I don't believe she did but she blew me away. Jim Belushi was quite good as well, Timberlake was decent too. All in all it was worth the watch, but a pretty sad movie to me. I thought the ending was perfect despite many people feeling it just ended. I feel that's how life is sometimes, not always happening or ending the way we expect. A very solid movie in my book.
