One Day (2024)
WHY??????
One Day...one of the best series, love stories I've seen for a while.
I was floored.
This love story took me from A to Z and back again.
What a rollercoaster of emotions. I lived vicariously through Em and Dex.
I'm a writer, still learning and I only wished I'd written this fine piece of work myself.
The acting is brilliant. Leo and Ambika were fantabulous!!!!!!!! I hope to see them both in something else...some other project where they shine in their brilliance.
But why oh why , the ending??????
What do they say about the good? (good people) They die young. And to throw salt on my tears, she couldn't get pregnant.
I cried for Dex. And still there are tears in my eyes.
Moral lesson - don't waste time. Seize it. Seize the moment.
Phantom Thread (2017)
DO NOT CALL THIS LOVE...
Do not call this love. This is not love.....It absolutely is not.
It is a strange/odd piece of work.
Although the acting was superb.... I simply deduce Alma is as looney tunes as Reynolds.
I am not a lover of these types of movies. I prefer real love stories with a HEA....but kudos to everyone involved in this well written....produced...
directed....and acted of course...
The whole time I couldn't stop thinking about the poisonous mushrooms and the stench in the house....and now for the ending....
What the heck!
I needed to watch a real love story after this...and maybe some comedy. (like taking a shower after a dirty movie)
Terzi (2023)
Why Season 2? Why? So disappointed!
Why Season 2? Why? When season 1 was pretty darn good, you go and do this.
First let me say, I adore the main character
Catagay Ulusoy. He's a great actor and so cuuuuuute.
Okay, I waited all this time for Season 2..ANTICIPATION..and they do this.
Season 2 was nothing but a Screamfest. That's all Peyami did up to episode 6..oh and get drunk and smoke cigarettes.
That's how far I got........... I don't even want to watch the rest of the 8 episodes..but I will because I'm vested now.
And then there's the Peyami's mother part. Good grief. It left me frustrated.
I tell you, if this series does not get better, Netflix will abandon it. I'm just saying.
Will Trent (2023)
LOVE THIS SHOW ..SO DIFFERENT
More More More... I love Will Trent!!!!!!!... It's different...More please!... I hope he gets back with his ex or have other relationships with other lovers...More scenes with the chihuahua please. The intelligent lines. The directing..the trash..the car he drives..so cool...I love he's Puerto Rican..more diversity please. And stay with the formula. Don't mess it up. I have no idea about the books but of it will enhance the storyline?
, please do so. Give us the books. I'm hoping this show will go on and on. Make me happy. Make me happy. Make me happy. I have no more to say about this show but I love it!!!
The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
Oh how I yearned for the original..not this ..this..this..this..
If I weren't a Keanu Reeves fan, I would've foregone this too long 2hr and 28 min booboo with its garbage dialogue..or was it comedy?
I kind of wanted it to hurry up, get to the meat and potatoes, and be over.
I needed more Kung-fu, long black coats, shades and maybe an extra steamy love scene.
I miss Fishburne
The new Morpheous is a joke.
Blue haired Bugs???
Half way in still no Trinity..not Tiffany...Trinity.
Nairobi was made to be too old.
Too many other celebrities, although Neil Patrick was a good bad guy and Mrs. Jonas
was pretty good too.
Overkill on the binary
Directing sucked..no true dramatic points..N and T meeting for the 1st time..the taking of the red pill.
And the ending....what????
Anywho I'm disappointed and done!
Everything But a Man (2016)
She goes back to him after HE LIED!
I'm late in catching this movie...(it's 2021)...Married man with 2 children. She buys him everything.
He lied and she did not ask.
What a dumbass woman to be a professional.
I am so disgusted and disappointed in this movie. Ugh!
Harlem (2021)
GOOD - but has POTENTIAL to be GREAT!
66yr old Black woman of Queens origin..not Harlem...Watched 4 episodes of Season 1 and will finish watching...... after I write this.
Good acting..Good script. Beautiful successful professionals of various shades...3 straight 1 lesbian...
The Bad - What motivates these women? What is the driving force?
Can't be "man"!!!!!!!
They need growth..needs maturity..
Bring some of the sophisticated essence of women of Harlem back in the day into the storyline... i.e. Lena Horne, Eartha Kitt, Etta Moten Barnett.... Let us see some of them in the eyes of these modern day women...
Sex and the City? Insecure? Golden Girls? Friends? Girlfriends?.....Maybe..
I look forward to seeing where these women go.
The Harder They Fall (2021)
TO ALL THE SALTY WHITE REVIEWERS WHO HATED IT.....
First of all...I'M BLACK and FAIR....
BLACK PEOPLE EXISTED IN THE WEST...
THE BAD.... No..this was not the very best Western movie ever made. There are better. BUT..it's not the worse.
Yes there were ISSUES...Storyline could've been stronger, the music, the dialogue..the comedy lines...not enough dust, dirt, and sweat, excessive killing, neat looking buildings...some not too realistic scenes...and waaaayyyy too long........
THE GOOD - OVERALL NOT A BAD WESTERN...Very good acting. No it's not a Tarantino, but it's not junk either.
NOW FOR THE SALTY----
>>>>like this one>>>>READ reviewer..."HIGH RATING FROM LEFT WOKE".....
Got news for you..Black Cowboys existed........I'm not here to educate you...Google it! ...there were Black Westerners...NOW YOU BE WOKE!
The Brothers Bloom (2008)
Too long...Too slow
I learned to paint because of Bob Ross. This documentary could have been done better. The producers Melissa and Ben could've researched more. Most of this we already knew. No, I didn't know about the Kowalskis and the affair and the Jenkins. That was interesting. I'm sadden about Steve Ross. He should've been living better. He should've had more. Sad that Bob Ross' last days was horrible. As for the insinuation that paint thinner may have been part of the cause of his Cancer..someone from the medical field should've brought commentary with facts.
This was too long and too slow. Oh and the music was too extra..overly dramatized and unnecessary. I'm thinking a murder is about to take place.
I miss Bob Ross..his memory and painting shows will last forever.
Fatherhood (2021)
Loved it!..and the music!!!
I am almost at the end of the movie. I had to stop. Yeah I know I'm supposed to wait until I've finished watching, but I couldn't wait to review this heartwarming, funny, tearful gem. Kevin Hart is fabulous. I need more of this from him. The whole cast complimented each other and captured my heart. This movie touched the points of a father singly raising a child. The whole team on this movie did a magnificent job. Bravo..clap clap clap!!!
The Queen's Gambit (2020)
Pleased, but not mesmerized as some are on here
I just finished watching all 7 episodes. Although it was enjoyable, this could've been a 3 hour movie, but oh well.
First the Good -
Good acting...Main Character and the young ladies who portrayed her at different ages..not superb, but very good. Superb was the Cinematography, the music, the hair, the fashion, the cars, etc. The authenticity of the period. I grew up in the 60's. My heart sometimes goes back there.
Wonderful all of her friends came through cheering for her in the end.
The Bad - It was difficult for me to care about the main character...how could I have empathy for her selfishness?
Yeah I get she was orphaned but the erratic behavior, boozing, the pills, all made me sick. When was it going to end?
At some point in our lives we stop self-destructing and get our s**t together!
Then there's the men - all nice but none of them she wanted.
I learned nothing about Chess. Too bad..could've been a teachable moment.
And the clichés..yeah that too.
I'm a writer of Women's Fic/ Seasoned Romance... sue me..I wanted her to be happy. I wanted to root for her. I wanted her to triumph and I believe she did.
If there's a Season 2, I hope they read these reviews and take note.
Coming 2 America (2021)
Such mean Reviews..It wasn't THAT bad!
Okay, I just watched it. No it was not as good as the original. But what sequel is better than the original? There were some laughs and some cringy moments. The barber shop scenes were the funniest. I also felt they didnt need all those stars and celebrities. And the storyline could've been stronger. Although I looked forward to C2A, sometimes it's best to leave well enough alone...and I love Eddie and Arsenio. So there's that.
The Ranch (2016)
I'm really late to the party!
If Masterson aka Rooster is found not guilty, bring back the show.
It was funny up until he left. The dynamics of the relationship between Rooster, Colt, and Beau was the foundation.
Bring them back ...
Also, kill some of those F bombs. It's played way too much...overdone.
Oh and kill the laugh tracks. This isn't the 60s
Firefly Lane (2021)
I'm only up to S.1 E.3 but...
I'm binge-watching. It's really good so far. Katherine Heigl is one of my favorite actors. I've never seen her like this before. She's killing it. Applause and hopefully future Awards for her and Sarah Chalke.
I'm a new Seasoned (Seniors) Romance writer and love the writing of this show. I only hope Tully finds true love one day. She's so sad.
Anywho, once I'm done watching the full season, I'll review again.
White Chocolate (2018)
I actually rated this movie ZERO!
This movie sucks to high Hell!!!!!!!..I am in total agreement with the other review. What they said, I concur!!!!!!!
This director writer producer should never make another movie ever!
I'm going to take the advice of the other reviewer and watch the movies they suggested!!!!!!
6 Underground (2019)
Stick a fork in my eye please!
Okay, let me preface my short and sweet comment with this. I love love love Ryan Reynolds and I only watched the first 20 minutes of the movie. Why? Because I couldn't take it. I feel like I want to say that in my whiny voice. I couldn't take it. The first 15 minutes was nothing but a car chase. A car chase that went on way too long. I couldn't get into the dialogue because I was exhausted watching the car chase. Ugh! I gave it 3 stars because of Ryan. That's it. So sorry because I wanted to really love it!
The Promise (2016)
Excellent
It is April 2019. I had not heard of this movie until today. I just watched it and had no idea of an Armenian Genocide. I watched it because it was listed under Romance on my Prime Video. Now I don't know what happened prior in regards to the ratings. From reading the other comments/reviews, I see there was some controversy with the ratings. I must say this movie deserved higher Rotten Tomato scores. I gave it a10. Why? Because the movie had everything. I'm a budding writer of Romance and I watched it because I'm a sucker for a love story. But this was so much more. I learned something today about Armenians and Turkish people. Interesting! Great movie!
