1917 (2019)
WWI IS FINALLY DONE CINEMATIC JUSTICE
This movie is a Masterpiece. The one shot concept worked very well as you feel like you are there with them and somewhat sharing in the experience. Sam Mendes and the rest of the cast and crew really did a marvelous job with this piece of art.
Don't F**k with Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer (2019)
I don't give 10/10 very often
While this three part mini-series covers disturbingly dark subject matter the creators did an exceptional job presenting this thriller as well as humanly possible. From the beginning, the story is comprehensively, entertainingly and intelligently told to the audience. You will learn the evidence as those involved learned what was originally happening.
They don't show anything but it will be made very clear what happened along the way. So viewer digression is advised.
I consider it "must see tv."
Very well made and a very good story.
Knives Out (2019)
Moments of brilliance but underwhelming, overall.
This movie isn't bad but it's not good. I didn't get my hopes up and I was still disappointed. The Director and Editor both did a pretty good job constructing and piecing the story together. However, the Director did not do a great job with the camera. . The actors did their best but again, The Director failed to use them in the right way. It also comes with a disjointed mix of politics and attempted clumsy messages.
Skip, wait for tv
Love Actually (2003)
As funny as it is cheesy. Watch it.
This movie is a masterful mix of extremes. Hilarious at times and a sap feast at others, it works so well. It's pure entertainment and more than the average Christmas movie. Watch it.
Greedy (1994)
Underrated Movie
In this fun & underrated flick from the 90s you will see one of Michael J Fox's best performances. Kirk Douglas also shines. Was Nancy Travis ever bad? Solid cast all around! Damn, I miss the talented Phil Hartman. In my heart this movie is a 8 1/2 as a critic it is a solid 7! Watch it!/22
Us (2019)
A big step back from Get Out
I am fan of Get Out. Regardless of its insensitive racially motivated premise. The movie is very well done and the lead actor Daniel Kaluuya was exceptional. I think Peele tried too hard to match his previous movie's success and failed. I thought Keanu is very funny as well. "Us" has some things going for it but no very much at all. It's simply a bad movie with a bad story that is not told very well.
It Chapter Two (2019)
The length and story are fine but the movie is bad
This movie is simply flat with poor direction. The story and production quality are good. The acting and editing are weak. I don't mind the long running time if there's a reason for it. Not to mention after what is suppose to be this big build-up to the climax (which doesn't seem like much) there's this sudden ending without any edge to it at all. You almost can't wait for it to end. The first movie was much better than this one.
The Haunting (1999)
This movie features a mansion - The End!
The only thing scary about this movie is the unbearable boredom. The pace is like watching grass grow on artificial turf. I couldn't make it past the first act. The suspense was suspended. And while CZJ is physically attractive, her acting makes her hard to watch. This mansion is creepy but it's not good creepy, It's nauseatingly ornate. ... I don't like picking apart an artist's work for many reasons but I couldn't find a good enough one here not to do it. It's now on my worst movies list.
Green Book (2018)
Best Picture of the Year
This is a very well told tale with life lessons that everyone should experience. The director did a great job making his points w the right balance of emotion without making it overly: preachy, sappy or upsetting. There is also the right amount of comic relief that makes for a quality mix of entertainment. The acting is Oscar caliber all the way.
Here two completely different and somewhat misanthropic individuals, living in a racially unacceptable time period find one another and learn vital life lessons from each other through their experience together.
Excellent movie 👍🏻👍🏻
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

Whoever thinks this movie is bad, simply has bad judgment... And there's no way Jurassic World is better. This is easily the best sequel since the original.
