The Man in the High Castle (2015)
New classic, watch paying attention
There is absolutely no way you can get into this show unless you are paying your full attention. Season 1 and Season 2 are outstanding television formats. But if I had to pick one, I would definitely pick Season 2. I enjoyed the political commentary and the rivalry between Japan and Germany in this fictional version of America. It's scary to think the world is slowly reversing back to that era of racism and discrimination with the Germans serving as voices of conscience and no longer villains. The acting in this show is superb, I'm sad to see it hasn't picked up more recognition for its accomplishments. One of the best television series off all time, and it will pass the test of time to become a new classic.
Reel Nightmare (2017)
Not bad, could have been better
I liked that this movie Reel Nightmare flipped the bird to all sexist, xenophobic and racists out there. That's what good indie filmmaking is supposed to be about: defying the status quo and the world needs that today. The quirky humor in this movie is not gonna click with everyone but thats a good thing these days. The witches effects were well done but the movie was getting good when it ended. Wish there was more in it to get to know the parallel between witches and the Hilarys of the world. Not a bad movie, but could have been better if more time that been invested to develop the witches backstory which is the most interesting aspect of the film.
The Craft (1996)
All time favorite
One of the best underdog stories out there. The cast is fantastic, realizing unforgettable performances you can still enjoy today. The "bad" witch was well developed, and it was easy to sympathize with her and her horrible family life. The other witches were given their chances to shine as well. I couldn't believe the blatant racism the one blonde girl was getting away with at the prep school. I'm glad and satisfied with her punishment. The visual effects are still very captivating to me. I particularly love the "feather" sequence (I guess that is everyone's favorite shot). And the climax is terrific. Just a great film!
