Monster (2022)
Magical!
I can't believe how amazing this limited series is! It's like, 'someone else out there really gets me'!
After binge watching the first five episodes, I learned that I had to watch the rest of the series in just 2 or 3 shows blocks at a time, because as we've all learned from those certain pharmaceutical commercials - seek medical care for erections lasting more than 4 hours! I should have known better. Emergency Room visits ain't cheap, my friends.
The intensity of Evan Peters is mind blowing. I can almost feel his breath in my ear, and his fingers caressing my chest. And the blood! Oh my gosh, I can smell the metallic odor and taste it from how well the cinematography pulls me in!
Killer Joe (2011)
I'm not usually one for sappy love stories
Hands down the most romantic movie I've ever seen. The story really hit home with my wife and I. . . The circumstances are almost exactly how we met and fell in love some 20+ years ago. I was a detective for the Des Moine PD at the time.
We were so moved by the action around the 1:25:05 - 1:27:48 mark, near the end of the movie, that we incorporated that very scene when we renewed our wedding vows last May. The entire room of guests and well-wishers were crying tears of joy for us. Her mascara ran just like in the movie! I almost giggled and ruined the solemn nature of our ceremony, but held my composure. This movie is truly inspiring.
Who's Watching Oliver (2017)
Holy Moly!
It's like I was watching an unauthorized biography of my life! The way the details mirrored my own was a little unnerving, but I've never been to Asia. I love my Momma!
Whoever's been watching me had the decency to change enough aspects to keep it vague. Thank you.
I prefer (and live in) a cooler climate. More Canadian, but I'm not promising that. We've got free healthcare, so there's no danger of running out of my meds.
Also the whole outdoor barrel scene was laughable. Wayyy too public, but I understand that there's a certain creative license and all to make the movie flow a certain way. It would detract from the story to show the hero trudging off to a more private setting, in a desolate rented industrial area to finish off the victims.
Kiseijû: Sei no kakuritsu (2014)
Pretty Good Until Last 2 Episodes
Then it turned into a hippie fest of self-righteous crap.
Cosmic Sin (2021)
This movie is PURE GOLD!
I truly don't know where to start. The beautifully crafted dialogue? The Oscar worthy acting? The stellar directing?
No. Let's start with the special effects budget which, if I were to guess, came from a small town high school that had surplus funds of about $250, because they had to cancel a play. Nice of you to donate, Rural High (go Tigers)!
Next up; the gruff security sergeant who wears a beret like my girlfriend wears a rubber swim cap. . . Wardrobe department can't let the FX crew outshine them.
I could go on (AND on), but suffice it to say that you're in for a cinematic treat my friends. I wish we could be together as you discover that the futuristic Q bomb from 2524 is a clear plastic tube, with the sophisticated inner core being made up of (drumroll, please) . . A bronze colored screw, air gapped with a copper wire wrapped in electrical tape. . . I kid you not. . . You're mouth with gape in awe. I'm not with you, so you'll have to close it yourself, buddy.
These few tidbits only cover the first 17 minutes!
WHY? Did I rate this movie a 10? Because I used to cut myself as a teenager. . . Major corporations frown upon constantly bandaged wrists, so as a responsible adult, I have to seek out alternative sources of pain to maintain gainful employment.
God Bless you Bruce Willis, God bless you.
Raajneeti (2010)
So many political assassinations!
Murder, manipulation, corruption - Did the Clintons write the script?
Dark (2017)
90% off the characters, 90% of the time
Are mouth-breathers. I don't know how I made it through all 26 episodes. Sometimes I like to punish myself.
Te3n (2016)
LOVED THIS MOVIE, UNTIL . . .
. . . the plot hole at the end that Hannibal could have used to lead his army through as he went over the Alps.
The one grandpa was framed for BOTH kidnappings and only the one murder, because grandson Ronnie was safely taken back to mom and dad by the priest.
Apparently, Ronnie was incapable of ever mentioning to anyone that his kidnapper wasn't grandpa, and he'd enjoyed his time with John uncle. I guess kids don't testify in court, police don't follow up, and parents reunited with kidnapped children don't cry over how horrible it is to be taken by their own family.
"Why is grandpa in jail"?
"Because he kidnapped you".
"No he didn't, John uncle took me to play football, and when the priest showed up, they talked for a while, then he brought me home. I had so much fun".
"Silly boy, you're confused".
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011)
AWESOME MOVIE!
I had no idea Mark Ruffalo acted in Indian movies.
Tiny Creatures (2020)
Thoroughly Disappointed
Whatever happened to true nature shows like Mutual of Omaha's "Wild Kingdom"?
This was a live action 'Rango' type show that continued to go downhill, crash then burn at an alarming rate after Mother kangaroo rat "sacrificed" herself for her baby. . . It got worse as the narrator attributed human emotions and actions to the tiny creatures. . . grief, revenge, etc., culminating in a high noon type gunfight between the hawk and rattlesnake after the rat formulated a complex plan to get the home that was "rightfully his", where the rat had the hawk, "exactly where he wanted him". . . Animals don't formulate complex plans. They also don't have property rights. Who thought this was a good venture to under take?
The pathetic insertion of human interaction into the story was very cringeworthy. By the way, NO ONE who has ever spent any time in the desert will ever sit at a campfire bare-footed, and place empty boots on the ground like that.
If this had been promoted as a kiddy show, I would have entered it with a more understanding mindset.
This was not the educational program that I had hoped for. I do give credit for the one thing I learned; kangaroo rats sweat only through their feet. However, I will need to verify that fact after I submit this.
Horrible, horrible program. I hope all those involved in this production have a backup plan for their livelihood. Seriously, try something else. I will not watch any more segments.
Badland (2019)
Produced by a Pharmaceutical Co?
Because you will need a lot of pain reliever to watch this.
The forced dialog with overly baritone voices would fit perfectly in a campy superhero vs. supervillain comic book-themed movie, but this is just horrible for what the movie is supposedly trying to achieve.
p.s. The acting is just as good.
Sulla mia pelle (2018)
Boo hoo
A drug addict / dealer with a pathetic attitude gets whooped by some cops who are tired of ppl like him contaminating the public. When he's arrested, he has a large quantity of drugs on him, divided into portions for distribution.
He actively hides the fact that he has over a kilo of marijuana and 130 grams of cocaine at his apartment.
