Orphan: First Kill
(2022)
ORPHAN : the real Esther story
21 August 2022
This prequel took the orphan story to the next level with elevated performances by Stiles and Fuhrman. It's super twisted and keeps the viewer engaged til the very last minute. The movie stayed true to the spirit of the 2009 version. This chapter was necessary to continue telling the bizarre story of Esther.dark and disturbing!

Single White Female
(1992)
A solid 90s thriller! A true nightmare!
26 October 2021
This is a cool solid thriller with the super talented Jennifer Jason Leigh and Bridget Fonda, a truly engaging tale of obsession, connection and setting boundaries! I saw this several times and it delivered everytime. This film is a must see as it's another compelling 90s thriller that's up there with The Hand that rocks the cradle , Misery and Basic instinct.
A dramatic thriller that showcases Ms De Mornay's talent!
24 September 2021
This is truly a fun classic 90s thriller with an edge of your seat plot. Loved the actors and the director Mr Hanson did a wonderful job and ilove his style. Bear inmind this film Was huge in the 90s and had inspired many more thrillers to come.! Must watch! P. S. Mr Ernie Hudson was very believable and likable in this. Fab role!
Diabolique
(1996)
An offbeat classic that's overlooked for the wrong reasons
3 June 2021
This is a great classic thriller that became famous in the 90s but not many people saw. It's a tough film to make as it tries to achieve too many things at once, it tries to pay homage to the original, have a modern day take on the story, and stay true to the directors identity and vision and on top of all that try to showcase the talent of the huge names in the film like Stone, Bates and Adjani. So one can imagine how hard it was for audience to comprehend this experience. The best way to enjoy this one is not to call it a remake and to focus on the plot details and cinematography, bearing in mind that there are some cheesy campy elements and some absurd twists but that's all part of the charm. Great plot. Great actors and a gorgeous setting! I think it has aged well!
Those Who Wish Me Dead
(2021)
An action thriller with a heart and soul!
6 May 2021
This is a compelling action thriller that has many human elements that keep it relatable. Jolie and the cast did a great job and the director delivered some directorial methods that have the 90s touch. Outstanding thriller!
Sleepless in Seattle
(1993)
Possibly the most romantic film of all time!
10 April 2021
This is one of my favorite films that i can watch over and over. It's full of passion.,romance and humor. The chemistry between hanks and Ryan is incredibly believable! And yes people used to fall in love with each other over the radio back in the day as there were no so social media outlets or things like that. This is possibly the most romantic film you will ever see! They don't make them like that anymore!

The chemistry between Costner and Houston is like nothing we have seen before. This film Embraces the viewers and takes them on a journey of thrills. Emotions and most of all eternal love.

You wouldn't be able to explain why this film would grab your attention but one thing is for sure, this is gonna stay with you For a while and the plot is one of a kind! Tom ford has achieved an enigmatic experience that definitely stands out! Jake and Amy are everything!
Mary Reilly
(1996)
A very different take on the famous story
2 December 2020
This is a very different take on the famous novel and you gotta give it a chance as the story grows on you slowly but surely. Intense drama thriller with a class A cast. Glenn Close, Julia Roberts and John Malkovich are the perfect recepie for this atmospheric film. Artistic and open to interpretation! Ps. Try to watch it a night.
Scream
(1996)
The legendary movie right before Titanic!
26 September 2020
This movie was the most talked film when it came out in the 90s and made the headlines on the daily papers back then due to its unique style and shocking story. The cast were a good reflection of how the 90s actors were both good and charismatic! Lots of movie references and pop culture trivia in the scenes but you gotta pay attention to get them as they re meant to give a certain effect. This film had a huge impact not only the genre but on the whole film industry and til today many movies try to copy the spirit of Scream in one way or another. See this with an open mind and remember that it doesn't take itself seriously. Ps the soundtrack is cool esp for the rock alternative genre lovers!
Ratched

22 September 2020
I was looking forward to watching this show as iam a huge Murphy fan and I believe everything he does is always different. Well I wasn't disappointed, infact I was very impressed and I truly enjoyed every minute of this unique and engaging show. Very good acting, gorgeous cinematography, deep and thrilling story lines and a beautiful soundtrack. I guess that's all we need to have a successful show! The casting is spot on and that helped in making this a must watch TV! Ps the trailer doesn't give much away.

The Book of Henry
(2017)
An experience like no other !
9 June 2018
I wanted to watch this film just because iam a huge fan of jake Tremblay and Naomi watts after seeing them in great films like Room .Shut in and others.i knew i was in for a treat with a great cast but i was amazed how original the plot was and how well directed this piece of work is . i loved how this film has abit of all the genres crossed together to create a compelling story that will stay with you for a long time . i hate to give anything away but this film is way better than you may think and will keep you very entertained yet breathless and touched by every single detail.
The Girl on the Train
(2016)
unforgettable ,weird and compelling !
6 October 2016
I gotta admit I wasn't a fan of Blunt before this film but girl on the train has changed my mind .the movie is so twisted and the acting is outstanding .the director has done a great job with the setting .usually this kind of films is very hard to portray and hard to convey the real image on screen .I truly believe that Emily blunt deserves a recognition for this role as she came across as genuine and believable. we def should see more films like this one that focus on characterization . Ii think this one is like gone girl meets before I go to sleep meets American beauty .such films can redefine the genre so im so happy I saw this one, that was a fun experience.
Desperate Housewives
(2004–2012)
what an amazing show , and how sad it is to see it end !!!!!!!!!!!
20 April 2012
i fell in love with DH the moment it started in 2004 . it had achieved what no other show could do by its dark secrets . classic humor and well plotted twists . the script is so good that it makes you believe that these characters really exist. the cast are unbelievably entertaining .with foolish yet friendly Susan . obsessed and neat Bree, funny and adventurous Gabi . realistic and smart Lynette .plus the believable and charming supporting cast such as Edie , Mike ,Catherine , Felicia ,Mrs applewhite . Lee & all the actors that passed by wisteria lane. all in all the show is down in history as one of the most talked about shows on modern TV . which in return made it an instant classic and a must see for all of those who seek good quality TV from all ages . it is sad to see it end , i wish the best for the team of DH and it was my greatest pleasure to watch them grow on this masterpiece .
Orphan
(2009)
such films can change the history of thrillers ..amazing ,,!!!
5 April 2012
orphan starts like any other thriller,however it develops into something addictive, tasteful. and not clichéd that will force you to watch and leave with u with nothing but great respect for the cast that have delivered the best ,
some films were made in the last few years with the same suburban concept but none had succeeded in staying with the viewer like this masterpiece .
what helped achieve the success is the original script and how deep it was and how it created the characters rather than the shallow tackling that we see in horror thrillers in which every role has limited part to play and could never be charismatic like the cast of orphan . Vera Farmiga was amazing and believable . the little girl was also original . cinematography did justice to the story and added more mystery and suspense which in-return made the cast look valid and relevant . i recommend this film to anyone who is after original thrillers ,juicy stories ,and acting that will haunt you for weeks .just give it a chance and you will see . thanks for reading this .

Revenge
(2011–2015)
what an amazing show . the best that came out of Hollywood in the last ten years !!!!!!!!!!
30 December 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Being a fan of Madeline Stowe , the good roles she played in the 80s and 90s , and the fact that she was nominated for the golden globe for this series are the reasons why i wanted to follow this show . revenge is a really fun thrilling ride . first i would like to mention that the cast have done a great job ,Henry Czerny and Emily van camp are very convincing . Ashton Holmes added more drama and flavor to the revenge theme and of course Stowe has definitely portrayed Victoria in the greatest way possible . also the great setting of the show adds the element of class .the story takes place in the Hampton's , very chic very Dallas and falcon crest if you still remember these shows in the 80s . the plot is deep and and unpredictable . it gets thicker and thicker leaving the viewer wanting more and inpatient to know what will happen next . the director has achieved a great deal by making this series in a time when people got tired of the clichéd police thrillers where someone is killed and we wonder who did it . this show is much more meaningful than that, it touches deep matters . i recommend revenge to anyone who is looking forward to watching a class act with an original plot and a great cast that will keep you insatiable . i really hope Stowe will win for this one .
