Tardy Terror (2021)
Impressive movie
I found this on tubi and was absolutely impressed with the quality of this movie. It was made by high school students class of 2020 & 2021. Says this in the beginning. The story line was very well written, the cinematography looked absolutely stunning (better than most of the Hollywood movies), the acting was really well done as well. Very impressive for high schoolers! While the concept was not what I would call traditional horror, it was very well executed. I was especially impressed with the fact that there was no cursing, smoking or drugs! The way the get around using foul language was unnoticeable, it never came across as intentional, cheesy or unnatural. This is a great horror movie for kids, although there is violence but not very much blood or anything too graphic. As a horror fan I have to give them credit for making a gripping movie that remains interesting without getting boring.
I do think that going into this movie as an adult, it should be noted that this was written and created by high schoolers because I feel like more people would give this a chance, and it would explain some of the innocence to this movie. However, had I not known this I would still give it a 10. Well done!
The Crowded Room (2023)
Absolutely Speechless
I will admit the concept of D. I. D does intrigue me quite a bit. This movie was not only exceptionally well executed, but Tom Holland's performance was extraordinary. Such a complicated role that would challenge any actor but Tom Holland made it seem so effortless. As you continue to watch this series his performance gives such depth and reality to what is being explored.
The entire cast was superb in making each episode of this series seem like you were not just simply watching a series but instead were an actual part of the story experiencing each moment as part of your own reality.
I wish that shows like this continue past the first season.
Slasher (2016)
Great Anthology Series
Season 1 was really well done and kept you interested! Great characters, killer, suspense, etc.
Season 2 was great as well.
Season 3 was more fast paced, suspenseful, less character development but just enough to really keep you into it. The most brutal murders so far.
Season 4 was extremely fun and interesting. Great flow, great characters, but I still liked Season 3 best.
Season 5 had me very excited to watch since it was called Ripper and I expected so much more. This season was very hard to get into, it was very hard to remain interested, it was rather boring. Maybe my attention span made it hard for me to get into it or maybe I was expecting Jack the Ripper. The actors were great as usual but the storyline just was way too slow. It looks to be set in 1800's London but with American Accents. Although I was not a huge fan of season 5, I still rate this Show a 10/10 as I truly believe I may have missed many important moments thanks to my boredom and cell phone. As I write this I am trying to push through the last 2 episodes just to give one of my favorite shows a fair chance.
Penny Dreadful: City of Angels (2020)
Stunning performances and cinematography
I decided to watch this because I loved Penny Dreadful so much BUT it was very clear from the first episode that this had nothing to do with the original show. Not quite sure why they didn't just name it City of Angels.
Natalie Dormer is incredible in this show. It really showcases the fact that she really can do anything and seems flawless at it. Singing, dancing, many accents, the variety of roles she portrayed. You can tell she really enjoyed herself in this show, and she put her all into everything she did.
Nathan Lane was a major surprise for me. I never would think of him as a dramatic actor, let alone a detective in a crime noir show but he really was phenomenal in this and he actually pulled off the role perfectly! Who knew Nathan Lane could pull off a tough guy detective role (although his character does have a huge heart so I think that is why it worked so well)
I wish people would stop comparing it to the original Penny Dreadful and look past the poor judgment in choosing a title. The cinematography is incredible, as is the acting. I love the history, time period, and just the feel of this show.
It took me 3 episodes to really get hooked into the story, but I am glad I stuck it out. I was not expecting much from this show and ended up being very much surprised.
My advice, give it a chance, look past the title, and stop expecting constant action in every episode. They take the time to lay down the framework for the entire story. That is a major benefit to TV shows, more time for character and story development which many shows are lacking in anymore!
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (2005)
Hooked from the first episode
I was lucky enough to stumble upon this gem of a show when the first episode aired and have been hooked on it since. I am not a big comedy fan as too many shows either take themselves too seriously or they are too safe. This is just pure ridiculous comedy that helps you to sit back and disconnect from reality for a little bit.
If you love this show, you need to watch the funny "The Mick"
Mork & Mindy (1978)
What a rare gem
I have always heard of Mork & Mindy but never actually sat down long enough to watch full episodes. In this show you really get see just how incredibly talented Robin Williams was. I have always been a huge fan of his, but never fully realized the scope of his talents. He really was a rare person! No matter how you may be feeling, watching him perform you can not help but smile! He was a true legend!
Anyone who was able to work on the show and not laugh during his comedy freestyle deserves an award because this show is completely dependent on his comedy genius.
The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021)
Reviews are subjective. I recommend watching this movie before you read any reviews.
The first 15 minutes of the movie are intense and remains intense through out. This movie is undoubtedly the best of the franchise. One of the only franchises that is consistent with each movie it puts out. This movie was a shocker as I expected a flop.
I consider myself to be quite desensitized to horror movies, even when I saw The original Exorcist for the first time as a kid I wasn't impressed. The first 15 minuted of this movie had me cringing.
Color Out of Space (2019)
Great Movie except 1 thing
This movie would have been epic if it were not for Nicholas Cage! I can not stand him in this, he ruins most of the scenes he is in. The cinematography is gorgeous! I could not imagine how intense this movie would be while tripping.
The Haunting in Connecticut (2009)
This just proves that rotten tomato scores are off
I really like this movie. Solid story, solid acting, solid characters. Rotten tomato scores need better people rating movies!
Deadpool (2016)
My favorite movie
Deadpool is everything I love in a "superhero"... antisuperhero, but the witty dialogue and editing along with ryan reynolds being completely perfect fot this role! I hope the keep putting out more and more deadpools! There are plenty of comics to allow that! So far I see a Deadpool 3! I like superhero action but this has that and more. This is a true 10/10 if I could give more stars I would!!!
The Wicked One (2017)
Slow to start but a good horror flick when it gets going
It in a way remindes me of the first remake of Halloween, definitely not as good but it is definitely better than a lot of horror films I have tried to watch.
Pitchfork (2016)
For an indie film I really liked this
I thought the lighting, cinematography and acting were pretty damn good. I really think it deserves much higher ratings which is why I am giving it a 10. Its definitely a 7/10. I actually was surprisedby the quality of this with it being indie! Yes some of the dialogue is a bit quarky but definitely kept my attention
