Lakewood (2021)
Are you kidding Me
I was not aware that one actor can carry a whole movie on her shoulders. Incredible acting!! Sad that meaningless super hero movies have better rating than this movie. Hats off to you Naomi watts!! Edge of the seat entertainer!!!
Midnight Mass (2021)
Over rated snooze fest!
This is a seven episode tv series and we are expected to wait till end of 4th episode for things to pick up!!! I watched till close to end of 4th episode and everything is so predictable and and a drag!! Amazed that well known reviewers are scoring this a 9 out of 10!!!!??? What an absolute joke!! The last thing i expect on a weekend is a lecture on religion!!!
The Tomorrow War (2021)
Entertaining!
Watched a good entertaining movie after a long long time minus all the PC and politics of recent times!! Not a perfect movie by any means but definitely entertaining with some good acting!
I Am All Girls (2021)
Over the top acting
The lead actor who plays the female cop in this movie spoiled this one for me! Cringe and over the top acting! The character she plays is unhinged as well, Cries at the drop of a hat with her hands on her head and jeopardizes the investigations with her lunatic and impulsive actions!! I have watched about 1 hour so far and struggling to complete it. Movie might have been better with a different cast and better screenplay! On the positive side this movie highlights an ongoing issue throughout the world often ignored and put on the back burner due to corruption - Human trafficking!!!
The Mosquito Coast (2021)
It is different in a good way!!
Well if you are bored of watching the usual typical formulaic stuff again and again then this Series might be the one for you! I have seen just the first episode and all I can is that it was very different with a little bit of mystery and thrill elements thrown in!! Some reviews were negative about the attitude of the kids. Well how would they have handled it if they were in the same situation! The kids reaction were totally justified based on the current predicament of their parents!! The predicament is not revealed though except that they running from the law.
Will update the ratings and comments after I watch the complete series! I am hopeful that the whole series will match up to the first episode.
Update: Epi 1 - 8/10
Epi 2 - 9/10.
EP3 and EP4 -- The main protagonists are looking more and more like they endangering the lives of their children and for what??!! It looks very selfish with no regards for the safety of their kids!! I am supposed to be rooting for child abusers now??!!!
Shadow and Bone (2021)
Predictable after 3 episodes
Would have rated a 10 after the first 2 to 3 episodes. All the episodes after that seemed to be like just filler episodes where either nothing happens or whatever happens is very very predictable including the final episode!! In other words this series was like the final season of game of thrones. Where in you pretty much can guess as to what will happen before hand including the finale!
Stowaway (2021)
Had Potential
Started off promising. Ok acting. But I was waiting for something to happen for most of the first part of the movie. Something did happen at some stage which created an interesting premise but due to poor script there after it just fell flat! Could have been a better movie with a better script as the actors were pretty good in their limited roles which they were provided with.
Too Close (2021)
zzzzzzzzzzzzz.......
Highly recommend this series to anyone who has any difficulties sleeping at night!!! You will fade out after the first 30 to 40 minutes of the Pilot episode! They have tagged this as a crime thriller 🤣🤣🤣😂!!!
Run (2020)
Acting was top notch!
If you are looking for a good thriller movie then this one would be good choice. Whole movie is primarily about just 2 characters yet provides some really good edge of the seat stuff! Crap movies and shows which preaches to its audience instead of entertaining them have better rating than this movie?!! LOL!! Watched this one twice which I usually don't!
Selling the Big Easy (2019)
Surprised!
Surprised and amused reading the reviews here which are mainly focused on the real estate agent! I have seen all the episodes till date and had a pleasant experience every time! Stunning properties carefully selected based on customer requirements and showcased by a quirky and friendly agent!! In what way was she rude, manic, annoying, horrible, offensive, phony, hack and obnoxious. All these adjectives were used to describe her by most of the reviewers!!! What??!! She was pleasant with the clients and quite friendly with her team. Never seen her shout or disrespect anyone! So really surprised to see these comments about her. If they think she was rude imagine if they meet actual rude people! Did I miss something? I am watching some episodes again to check If I missed anything! LOL! Not a perfect show but a good one. Hope we could see more properties in each episode!
Space Force (2020)
Not funny at all!
Had high hopes for this series. But it was just not funny in any way or manner! Meh...
Homecoming (2018)
Season 2 - Entertaining
This season was pretty good. Held my attention throughout. Episodes were going at a fast pace then I realized that run time has been reduced to 30 min. 😂. It was not necessarily thrilling like season 1 but was entertaining. The ending was not believable though. Only 2 questions - Do they want us to believe that Bunda(department of defense) does not disclose the information of these seeds to other officials in her team? Only her and 2 other colleagues know about such a huge and critical piece of information?
I don't think these 2 questions are spoilers but will tag as spoiler anyway to be safe.
On a final note the acting of Joanna Cusack (bunda) was over the top and almost comedic and mainly present to portray the US defense forces as greedy and unethical who don't care about human casualties and who are ready to use the vets as Guinea pigs!!
Bullets (2018)
Very slow
Slow and boring series. After a few episodes i watched only the recaps at the beginning of the remaining episodes. Was still able to follow the story line. Proves how much filler was used to drag this series to 10 episodes. The ending was dull as well. Most of the cast were sleep walking through their respective roles...
Mrs. Serial Killer (2020)
Pathetic Director!!
Watching the movie as I write this review. Anybody who is not blind cannot give this movie anything above 2 stars. And the Director is the only clear reason for this dumpster of a movie. Interesting premise but the Direction just bulldozed the script. Pathetic direction. Even though casting/costumes could have been better the actors can not be blamed. They can emote only as they are directed. With a better director and costume designer maybe Jacqueline could have acted much better. I felt like I was watching a comedy movie and not a dark serial killer movie. If you feel like watching a serial killer parody movie then you can watch this one.
Into the Night (2020)
Irritating but entertaining bunch of people!!!
Did anyone else feel as irritated by this group of lunatics as I was?? 😂 😂. Not one likable character. Everyone is damaged goods one way or another. I wouldn't have minded if the plane had crashed in the first episode itself. 😂 😂 😂. The captain handing over the gun to the psycho major for information which was already known by that point was the dumbest move in this series. They argue and fight with each other almost every 2 minutes. And I am not exaggerating. Inspite of all that this series was somehow still entertaining. Watching episode 4 as of now. But i am not rooting for anyone and hope they kill each other which it looks like they will by the end of this season. That will be the most appropriate ending to this insane plan ride!!! 😂 😂 😂.
Jordskott (2015)
Slow paced save nature kind of series!
If you like very slow paced nature vs Industries type of series with a few murders thrown in and no one to root for then this is for you. The main protagonist who is supposed to be a cop kidnaps a young girl to selfishly save her own kid. Uses her as bait to capture the bad guys. And obviously bungles up and the girl is taken from her making her look like an idiot. And soon after forgets about the kid and goes back to worrying about her own kid. The only good cop gets murdered by what looks like some FBI kind of unit to hide secrets which he has uncovered. The major issue was again the pacing. Even after multiple forwards the story did not move much. And as others have mentioned there is a mythical angle to this series which was difficult to digest and comical in some ways according to my opinion.
The Secrets She Keeps (2020)
Pretty good!
Pretty gripping so far. Into the sixth episode now. Few things bothered me though. The boyfriend reports Agatha to the police as possible suspect. The police talk to Agatha bungle up without crosschecking properly and walk away. After it becomes known later that Agatha is the kidnapper the police accuse the boyfriend of being an accomplice. Idiots - I mean the script writer that is. The instance when the mother accuses her husband of being responsible for the baby's dissappearance was despicable and heartless. Apart from that the six episodes were pretty good and held my attention throughout.
Gangs of London (2020)
Rant!!!
Updated review - After watching 2 episodes It still makes my blood boil to see these gangsters, murderers and smugglers dressed up in their fancy suits with their fancy cars acting like they own London! After 2 episodes couldn't care less to see more. I mean it appears that the gist of the show is to discover who ordered the kill of the lunatic who was heading the gangs in London. The lunatic who forced his kids to murder!! I mean does anyone really care to know who ordered the kill??? And the acting of the son character was unbearable. He looked and acted like a dumb sad miserable jest and not a vicious and merciless killer! And people are getting killed and impaled left right and centre with the no sight of any repurcusions from law?? The undercover cop is more like a seasoned assassin than a cop... And someone here was comparing this to game of thrones even going to the extent of saying that this series is better than GOT 😂 😂 😂.
Freud (2020)
Intriguing
About to complete episode 2 and this series has held my attention thus far!! Very intriguing and an unique series. Always loved this type of crime series set in the mid 19th century. Somewhat similar to another brilliant series Vienna blood. Does it get worse after 2 episodes since I am surprised at some of the negative ratings. Rated 10 to counter the 1 rating which this series does not deserve. Will update the rating after watching all 8 episodes if required.
Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector (2020)
Predictable
The title for this series is in some ways misleading. This is another run of the mill standard crime series with separate cases each episode and the bone collector thrown in for a few minutes as a token to justify the series title. There is no tension or any thrilling moments which one experiences in the movie version. Could have been better if they had focused more on the bone collector which is the primary reason why many viewers would have started to see this series in the first place. The casting was good but they appear as cardboard characters due to presumably poor direction .
Hunters (2020)
Bland!
Amusing to see that most of the reviews these days depends on the political leaning of the audience. I started to see this series with high hopes and an open mind. But found myself fast forwarding through majority of episode one which is pretty lengthy by the way(90 mins). Problem was none of the characters portrayed were appealing in any way or form in my opinion. Actors themselves appear to be bored for some reason and were bland! I found myself dozing off and finally decided to quit at the end of episode 1.
Anne (2017)
Watching Season 1 now!
Avoided this show till now in 2020 since I was not sure this if this series could be my cup of tea. Usually I prefer thriller and crime series. But decided to give this a go after seeing so many tweets and comments literally begging to renew this for another season, to see what the hype was all about. And boy oh boy what an experience. I am about to finish episode 2 and I almost cried on 10 different occasions struggling to keep the tears in my eyes!! look forward to seeing the rest and will update the review if anything changes.
The Morning Show (2019)
Surprisingly Good!!
After watching episode 1 I was skeptical that this might be another propaganda show but glad I stuck to it thanks to a review here in IMDB. I almost cried during episode 4 which I am watching right now. But this show reiterates just how scripted the current news shows are and how the content is controlled by who ever who owns the network. And also how social media has become a virtual courthouse where people pass judgments basis their political leaning without having any knowledge on the facts. Brilliant series which presents views on both sides of political spectrum. And this goes without saying Reese Witherspoon is brilliant in this series.
Bancroft (2017)
Riveting stuff - Season 2
Watching season 2. First 2 episodes. Riveting stuff with some excellent acting and casting. The ending of episode 2 though... The term 'if looks could kill' came to mind. A woman will go to any length to protect her children. Eagerly waiting for episode 3 and in the meantime catch up on season 1. Surprised at the low rating though. Will decide after watching season 1 if a rating of 6 is justified. British crime series are top notch compared to any other country.
Haunt (2019)
Good slasher thriller with a good ending
A gore thriller which kept me entertained and on edge from start to finish. More in the Friday the 13th slasher kind of category than a haunted movie. The acting usually sucks in these type of movies but not the case in this movie. All the actors were pretty good. I also usually don't like the ending in slasher movies but liked the ending in this one. This movie definitely deserves more than 6 so rating as 10.
