I saw the reviews on TikTok saying it was so good, so disturbing, similar to The Talented Mr. Ripley, a must watch. Well I watched it. It didn't go anywhere for the first hour. The second hour you start to get somewhere. 45 minutes remaining is when things start to happen. There was no build up of the mc's behavior before that second hour. Even the end doesn't really give you much of an explanation to his actions. It was just weird, the mc was weird, and the family was eccentric. The family was likable (imo) and was hospitable and could be forceful when they wanted to be but not when they needed to be or should have been. Sometimes you can forgive the flaws in a movie if it's worthwhile but not in this one. So to sum up, It's a bit boring in the beginning, then the mc starts to be a manipulative here and there, then you have to wait until the last 45 minutes of the movie to get anywhere, then the end is just unsatisfying.

WHAT A GREAT SURPRISE
29 November 2023
I have to say I am not a big Nicholas Cage fan so when this movie came out, I didn't rush to see it. However, when this came out I only heard good things about it. Nicholas Cage never made me laugh so hard before and Pedro Pascal was perfect for this role. Even though Cage is the main star, I felt at times Pascal stole the show. Cage's and Pascal's bromance is hilarious. I did not expect this movie to be this good. It took me by surprise. It's a very funny movie and completely different than anything I've seen Cage do before. I was not disappointed in the least. I highly recommend watching this movie.
Destination Wedding
(2018)
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL SUPRISE!

I absolutely loved this movie. It's about two people attending the same destination wedding. They meet before arriving. Both have hang ups that are laughably annoying and are thrown together because of them. I didn't expect it to make me laugh out loud and so much. I've never seen Keanu Reeves this funny before. Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves have great comedic chemistry together. Normally, characters like these written just annoy me but they made it work. The movie has a BEFORE SUNSET feel to it where the focus is the two characters. It was a nice surprise. It was delightful, funny, and well worth the watch.

Aggravating!

Warning: Spoilers
It's an ok show because there a couple of things happening in the show that are annoying. The vigilante groups running the show - New Truth and The Arrowhead. The Arrowhead hunt down ppl and just start attacking them bc of their relation to the "sinner" and New Truth has a network to find the decreed to shame them even more. While all this is going on the cops don't do ANYTHING. The head of NT acts like a man of god but isn't even close to being one. Both groups are committing sins by hurting others but and telling everyone to live righteously but then act the opposite. I'm just glad there is only a few episodes.

Loved it!!!!

I found this gem on a website and had to buy the dvd. It's funny, exciting, serious, sweet, and the fight scenes are kick-ass. The second season is more yaoi leaning than the first season, but I don't know If I'd really call it one. Anyway, it is one of my favorites to watch again and again.
Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku

Very laugh out loud funny

I really enjoyed this anime. It was very funny and sweet. Loved the characters. For a romcom there really wasn't any romance. I give it a 10/10 cuz it was hilarious. One thing did bother me was although all 4 friends were in their mid 20's, one of the couples relationship was a little too adolescent, and I don't mean regarding Otaku but just being boyfriend and girlfriend.

AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING

I am floored with this series. It is the best series I've seen in a long time. I love the characters abilities. I probably won't get enough sleep for work because I can't stop watching it. I looked up their abilities from the comics; hoping to see more of what they can do.
Hidden Kisses
(2016 TV Movie)
So good and agrivating at the same time
17 February 2019
Really loved this movie. Great coming of age love story that is sad and lovely at the same time. What the two characters go through separately; what they endure because of a kiss is maddening and disturbing. Still, so good; a must watch.

Great movie; didn't like the end
17 February 2019
I gave this a 9/10 just because I didn't like how the movie ended. Not to say it shouldn't have ended the way it did but for me it didn't seem finished. The movie was good, the actors had chemistry, and the acting was good. Their relationship was sweet and complicated for their given careers; for me the ending wasn't enough.
Banana Fish

WOW! INCREDIBLE!

It such a riveting story. I didn't think I was going to be able get into but I'm hooked. Love the main character ASH. He is complex, intelligent, strong, fierce, and compassionate. This show is really well written and worth the watch.
Love this show!

This show took me by surprise. It has everything - sex, romance, trust, mistrust, apprehension, and humor. It was fun to watch. The writing is great and funny. I love the main characters. Even the side characters had zingers that make you laugh. Love, love the show and hope there is a second season.
