True Detective (2014– )
10/10
Especially love Night Country
20 February 2024
I really enjoyed watching Season 4 - Night Country, especially because it starred Jodie Foster. She did an amazing job in her role as she always does. It was a little different than the previous seasons as it was less violent and more ethereal. The little bit of "paranormal" in it just drew me in move. I suggest watching it. Oh, and it made me glad I don't live in dark, freezing Alaska.

Season 3 was also very good and turned out completely different than I thought it would. That's all I will say about that.

Season 1 was amazing. The two lead actors are so talented and knowing they're besties in real life only made it better. It's not an easy season to watch though. Trigger warning.

I really enjoyed this flick
14 June 2023
As others have mentioned this is definitely not a movie for everyone and some will find it pretty damn disturbing. I really liked it myself. Maybe it's because I love horror movies so it's really hard to gross me out or freak me out. I also knew what I was walking into so that probably helped. There is some similarity to Human Centipede but nothing involving buttholes thank god. Justin Long, Michael Parks, and Johnny Depp all did an excellent job in this film. Also, props to the costume designer. It's different than other Kevin Smith films and yet it has a certain familiar sarcastic humor. If you decide to watch it be prepared to go full walrus and watch past the credits for some extras.

The media convicted her
8 December 2022
Wow, I am really glad that I watched this documentary. I came into watching it thinking she is completely guilty and that it would be ridiculous to watch but I feel completely different now. It made me see how much we are suckers to the media. All it took was a few pictures for the world to convict Casey. The police even admitted that they never looked at George as a possible suspect because he was a "nice guy." Ted Bundy was charming but he was also a serial killer! George was just mirroring everything the cops were saying and sucking them in. I can't ignore what he said at Caylee's funeral or what he said on the Dr. Oz show. That is clear admittance of his abuse.

Casey, I also grew up in an abusive household and my father also tried to suffocate me when I resisted his abuse. Living through that kind of trauma is devastating and I completely understand how it effects you. I'm so sorry for what you have been through and you have my love and support!

First half was good then dropped out big time
7 November 2022
It started out like Backcountry, which is an excellent survival horror film, and then some weird stuff started happening and then some REALLY weird stuff started happening. It wasn't interesting weird it was stupid weird. I lost complete interest and I really can't remember what happened in the last 15 minutes. Unfortunately I really can't recommend it. I would however recommend Backcountry as long as you are well aware that it gets incredibly gory at one point. I'm not not sure I have a whole lot more to say but since I have to put more characters in I am still typing. I also recommend High Tension. Another good survival movie also with a lot of gore.

Nope (2022)
10/10
Jordan Peele is brilliant!!
4 September 2022
I love Jordan Peele's movies! It's nice to see movies that focus on black people like this movie, Us, and Get Out. All of his stories are kind of odd as well and that really draws me in. Nope does not disappoint. The story is interesting and the actors are all very good. I highly recommend it as I do all of Peele's movies. I also recommend the old Key and Peele comedy show. They know how to play off of each other very well and I laugh so hard it hurts! The substitute teacher skit is my favorite by far. They are hilarious!!! I'm continuing to type because apparently I haven't said enough yet to submit this.

What?
21 March 2022
What even happened here? Maybe developing a story might have actually made me interested. This is such a ridiculous movie. It's 2 hours of wasted time. Glad I stopped halfway through.

Confusing
23 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I'm a few episodes in and I am really enjoying it but it's really hard to see the line between satire and actual murder mystery. It needs more ridiculousness to be a satire. The one thing that is completely ridiculous is how the main characters daughter got killed. WTF?

The acting is terrible
13 February 2022
Both the main actors have been good actors in other things I've seen them in but in this movie they are not good at all. Especially Alicia Silverstone is so over the top. Thankfully I am at home and did not pay anything to see this.

The Canyon (2009)
2/10
It could've been good
5 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I just can't get past how many unrealistic things are going on in this movie. First and foremost, these people surviving in the hot desert for days with no water or food. You probably wouldn't even last a day out there with no water. Second, the woman gets attacked by wolves multiple times but somehow survives all of them with little injury. Third, who would ever go down in a freaking canyon with a drunk you met at a bar??? Lastly, a trained medic would never not give this dude CPR!! They can tell if someone is clammy or not! Seriously people!!

It could've been a really good survival movie if those things had been incorporated into it. I'm happy to see that Yvonne Strahovski has moved on to bigger and better things.

It just goes on and on and on...
12 October 2021
At first this show was entertaining enough but then the relationship of the two main characters kept going off and on and off and on and it just got reeeaaallllyyyy old. It was at that point that I realized how stereotypical all the episodes were and especially all the characters. The flamboyant gay man, the loud black woman, the dumb slutty blond, the fiery Latina. Enough already.

This was an excellent film until the end
3 October 2021
This was a really good movie. The characters were very likable, except the main characters daughter, and Matt Damon's performance was excellent. But, the end was really a disappointment. It came too fast and it was such a let down.

Don't know what to say
18 September 2021
This is horror. One of the most disturbing movies I've ever watched and yet I can't say that it wasn't done excellently because it did have that profound effect on me. It's disgusting and savage. A real horror.

Y'all are being way too hard in this show
9 September 2021
I found this show really entertaining. Yes, the main women have annoying accents but that doesn't take away from how cool it is to watch this motel get absolutely transformed. It made think that you can do anything you put your mind to! It's a great quick binge watch.

Great slasher flick
15 May 2021
I'm not exactly sure what some people were expecting from this movie but it is a great slasher flick. It's very similar to the Scream movies. I found it very enjoyable.

Thin (2006)

Very insightful about eating disorders and also how messed up treatment facilities can be
4 May 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I saw this documentary years ago but just watched it again. I feel like there is some really good insight as to what really happens when people deal with anorexia and bulimia on a daily basis. The thinking patterns are truly diseased and I can say that because I deal with addiction myself.

However, I think treatment facilities like the one shown here are detrimental to patients. Not trusting patients and treating them like children just makes them feel worse about themselves. Treatment needs to involve intense one on one therapy and 12 step programs and step work not just monitoring people and punishing them. It makes me very sad and angry to see this. To see someone like Polly make so much progress and then be kicked out. Disgusting. She might have lived if she had been able to stay. And insurance running out, that's a whole other messed up issue. Our healthcare system is f'ed.

Could have been one episode
3 April 2021
For the first season it was a very interesting story but it absolutely did not need to be soooo long. This could have been wrapped up in one.

Fun and lighthearted
12 March 2021
I think this show is really fun. It's lighthearted and fun to see the options the couples have. For me personally I don't know why you would spend so much money on a wedding versus having a nice house but that's just me. The only thing that bothers me is that some of these weddings apparently occurred during the pandemic and these large gatherings are not cool. I'm hoping these people were safe and didn't have super spreader events.

Get rid of Barney
7 March 2021
Years after it came out I have just been watching this show on Hulu. I really enjoy it. It's funny and lighthearted. Except BARNEY. Barney is pretty much a misogynist dickhead. His sexist and debasing comments and treatment of women is really not funny. Why would anyone be friends with this guy? Great show that would totally stand up well without this character.

Not worth sticking it out
24 January 2021
I watched it all the way through only because I came here and read that there was a twist at the end. It wasn't worth it.

Stealing Home (1988)

One of my favorites
23 January 2021
I have no idea how many times I've watched this movie but I cry every single time. It is such a pure of heart love story, not just about romantic love, but love of family and those who feel like family. Jodie Foster and William McNamara do an amazing job and give this film the emotional depth that it deserves. I recommend that everyone see this movie just bring your box of tissues with you.
