The Substance (2024)
Last half ruined it
It was nice to see Demi Moore in a new movie as she's always been a great actress. This is a really Freaky movie. I was told by several people that I had to watch it. The acting etc. Was great even the actress, Andie McDowell's ,daughter Did really well. The first hour and a half, really kept our attention and couldn't wait to see how it ended. Unfortunately, As other people reviewed, It totally ruined the whole movie in the last 30 minutes
I don't know what They were thinking, but it turned into something really stupid and disappointing to say the least. It could've gone so many ways I was hoping that she was gonna wake up and it was all a dream and that she was happy with how she looked. Would've been a much better ending. If you wanna watch it wait till it's free I paid 20 bucks to stream this and it was not worth it.
Servant (2019)
WOW I'm loving this
In spite of the mixed reviews, I decided to give this a try.. I just binged the whole first season and I'm loving it. Every episode ends with you wanting to more. All the actors are great in this. I'm just not enjoying some of the food that he prepares. Yucky and I'm vegetarian lol I had no idea what this was about, but I found it really intriguing. Even the young girl who plays the "servant " is a really great actress, although I've never seen her before .
I'm really surprised at negative review saying it was slow. I can't agree. It's a really weird show and I can't wait to see where it's going.. it's definitely worth a watch. I did not realize it was 4 seasons. Hopefully the next season is just as good.
Amber Alert (2024)
Good acting but unrealistic
This was entertaining and a quick hour and a half movie. Starts out with a little girl being kidnapped and Uber driver and passenger spot the car.. The story goes from there. I couldn't understand why there weren't more police or FBI involved so it was a little frustrating And unrealistic . It's not like the movie "kidnap" with Halle Berry. That was much more fast-paced With a lot of action throughout. Definitely check that one out. I'm not saying the movie wasn't watchable because I did enjoy it, but it was very exaggerated. None of this would've been handled the way the movie portrays so that was kind of annoying and frustrating.
Wait till it comes on rental for free and give it a shot
Acting was pretty good and it was nice to see Hayden Pannettere . I always enjoyed her movies.
Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval (2024)
I really enjoyed this
I thought it was great to see Ellen DeGeneres doing standup. I remember watching her years ago and it was very similar to her old routine. I thought she was genuinely honest about all the crap of her being mean to her staff.. I wanna believe that she really felt bad about that whole ordeal and that it really bothered her and it was very untrue. Whatever the case, this was her final goodbye and I think she just wanted to show people how difficult it was to be a gay female with her own show because once she "came out" that's when things took a turn for the worst.
I think there was only two curses throughout the hour show. I really wasn't expecting to watch the entire show, but I did end up enjoying it. If you like Ellen DeGeneres, then give it a try..
Sunny (2024)
Quirky and fun
I don't get the negative reviews. I thought this was a really unique storyline. I did not feel this was boring at all. There are some episodes that are a little slower, but I guess if you don't have a good attention span you're not gonna enjoy this. I think the main actress did a great job, especially a lot of it was in Japanese, which got a little confusing if you weren't reading the screen. The first couple episodes I was very confused and had no idea what the heck was going on, but I still hung in there.
It's a really good storyline and I think the robot was a little creepy. This may Be something in our near future. I mean, they made a car that drives itself L O L
If you're looking for something to watch because I pretty much have seen everything, give it a try. It's only one season and 10 episodes.
Jackpot! (2024)
Fun movie
Didn't know what to expect, but was happy to see a new movie on Netflix. It was pretty silly But I totally enjoyed it. If you're looking for a lighthearted comedy, then this is it. I enjoyed Mike Cena and Awkwafina together. There was great chemistry between them.
The storyline is interesting and original. I'm glad I took a chance and gave it a try. It is somewhat like a comedy version of "the purge", as other specified.
My review is too short. I don't know what more to say, but give it a try if you're looking for something funny to watch that's original. The outtakes at the end were pretty funny also.
Presumed Innocent (2024)
Wow, I loved it
I saw the original movie with Harrison Ford and I did not expect much with the series. Boy was I wrong. I loved every minute of this series. Jake is an amazing actor in Everything he's done. I binge watched this in one day. The acting all around was fantastic. I'm sad that it's over because it's probably one of the better series since recently watching "Defending Jacob." if you like this, check that one out as well. I'm so glad I got an apple subscription just to watch this because it was well worth it.' It's very similar to the movie but , somewhat different. Peter Sarsgaard was also great as the prosecutor. Give this a try if you like murder mysteries and "who done it' . It will really keep you guessing , did he murder her or not? It's gonna be hard to find something just as good. It's a quick eight episode series.
Mom and Dad (2017)
Don't overthink it
This is a mindless dark comedy. I'm not a big fan of Nicolas Cage but he was pretty good in this movie. You are either gonna like this movie or hate it. I enjoyed this. Not much is explained as to why the parents have gone crazy and want to kill their kids.. had something to do with the static on the TV. ? Just watch it without any high expectations and enjoy the ride. It's a quick hour and 25 minute movie and the ending is a little abrupt.. They probably didn't know where to go from there. The movie is very fast-paced with a lot of action and blood throughout. I already told two family members and they enjoyed it as well. Just give it a try it's a no-brainer so don't try figuring out why these things are happening because there is no answer overall I still recommend giving it a watch.
In from the Cold (2022)
I did not have high expectations
I have to say, I went into this, not knowing anything about it and not knowing anybody in this series. I ended up binging it two days. I really did enjoy it, but I think it could've been less than eight episodes. It was starting to get a little dragged out towards the last few
The girl who played the daughter , Becca, annoyed the heck out of me and was not the best actress. I'm glad she wasn't in too much because she was a brat.
Flashbacks were kind of annoying as well. Showing her when she was younger did not contribute much to the story.
Overall, I did not expect to watch more than one episode, so just give it a shot and don't expect much and you may enjoy it like I did. The only bad part is there is a cliffhanger at the end and they did not renew for a season 2. But other than that, I really liked it.
The lead actress Who played Jenny, was great Never saw her before in any other show.
Just give it a shot. Ignore the negative reviews and if you're really bored and need an action series that's only eight episodes. I recommend it.
Mother of the Bride (2024)
Could've been so much better
I really like Brooke shields so I was looking forward to watching this. It was nice to see other familiar faces.. The story has been done to death except this was pretty boring ,not much happening. The bride and groom we're not a good match and no chemistry together. I think Benjamin Brett and Brooke shields had better chemistry. It definitely is like a Hallmark movie although I've seen better Hallmark movies.
I guess it's good to pass the time on a rainy Sunday afternoon. If you decide to watch it, just don't expect much. There wasn't really anything funny . The ending is predictable as most of these type movies are. Sadly, I really wouldn't recommend it and as I said they could've done so much more with the movie but Netflix has very few movies on anymore so I figured I'd give it a try.
Hostages (2013)
Love the series
I'm surprised of all the negative reviews because I really enjoyed this. I found it by accident and when I saw that Dylan McDermott and Toni Colette were in it, I decided to give it a try. People need to lighten up yes it's somewhat for fetched like most most shows but I watch TV for entertainment and know that it's not real life. This was very fast-paced and I watched it within two days. Obviously, it's about a family that's taken hostage, but it's much more than that. Which makes it more interesting.
If you like drama and suspense, give it a try and ignore the haters. I was happy to find something to watch because since Covid TV sucks.
Killing Eve (2018)
Loved this until season four
I have to agree with many other reviewers here .I loved the first three seasons, but season four took a turn for worst
Jodie Comer Is a fantastic actress, She definitely deserves a Grammy. Super talented and I loved her wardrobe. Even Sandra Oh, who I was never a fan of , was a great supporting actress. I binge watched the first three seasons in a couple days, but when I got to season four, it was a big disappointment. Like others stated, they should've ended it at season 3 I would definitely rate a 10
This series had Just enough of Everything from comedy, Gore, action, and drama. I would definitely recommend this to others except skip the last season and let it end the way it did.
I will definitely look out for Jodie Comers Other movies and series Because she is Extremely talented.
And yes, the ending sucked.
Ashes (2010)
I would rather watch paint dry
I can't believe the positive reviews. I like Brian Krause from charmed so I figured I'd give it a try. The acting is terrible and you're waiting for something to happen and nothing does until the last 10 minutes of the movie.. Nothing is really explained. I'm not sure how the wife got sick. I don't think she got bit unless it was airborne.
The only one likable in this movie was the nurse unless you're really bored and there's absolutely nothing else to watch then go ahead and watch ashes, but just know you've been prewarned about how stupid it is.
There's not much else to say and my review isn't long enough, but I'm sure you can find something better. I was really desperate to find something to watch and I wasn't expecting much but this was pretty bad.
Alone (2020)
I enjoyed this
I ignored the negative reviews and decided to give this a try. It held my attention throughout the whole movie. I never saw the Korean version so I will not compare it to that. Just watch it if you need something to pass time, There's pretty much only two actors in this movie and they did a great job.
Donald Sutherland is in a Donald Sutherland is in a short scene. I always enjoyed these type of movies whether it's zombie or Apocalypse. These zombies are really fast .
OK my review is too short and I don't know what else to say but it did make me think what I would do if I was in a situation where I had to be trapped in my home without Wi-Fi or TV
Ignore the bad reviews and don't compare to the other version because it's not the same.
American Rust (2021)
Give it a chance
I found this show by accident and couldn't find anything to watch so I figured I would give this a try. I started watching this yesterday and I'm almost finished with the first season today. It does have a slow start so you need to have a good attention. Span. Not everyone will like this because It's not nonstop action. But just know each episode picks up more and more and gets better and better .
Jeff Daniels is great ,along with Maura Tierney.
Acting is really great and I'm looking forward to watching the second season. The first season does leave you hanging, but I'm glad they renewed it for another season.. so I scored this in nine out of 10 for the first season. I'm really surprised that all the low reviews.
Beast (2022)
It's OK
I love Idris Elba, but this is not one of his better movies. There was nothing else on, so I watched it. The kids were kind of annoying and they make a lot of dumb choices throughout the movie. What bothers me is towards the end when they're hiding out in the poacher house, they leave the door open which really annoyed me lol. Wouldn't that be the first thing you would do when you're hiding out because the lion can't open the door. Overall, I found it entertaining since nothing else was on so I gave this a six out of 10 . If you want something, that's a no-brainer to pass the time. On a Sunday afternoon, then check it out.
The Resident (2018)
Great for the first 4 seasons
Wow, this was such a great show and every episode kept you wanting more. Once it got to season four, the premise definitely changed for the worse. I found myself fast-forward in a lot of the episodes because the whole dialogue was different. I tried to continue continue season five and six but it was completely different.
The acting was great. It was nice to know each character until they started changing half the cast.. I know some of the actors moved onto other things, but they were an important part of the show. I was getting a little sick of Conrad and Nic but when they killed her off the show, it completely changed the whole story.
I loved AJ and Mina together until she got deported.
I guess they tried to replace some of the main characters, but it changed the whole story..
I guess watch it for yourself and judge but I have to say the first three seasons I would've given a 10 the next three I would've given a 5
Would I recommend it? Yes! But, after season four don't even bother. It seem more they were trying to push an agenda in our face and getting a little political.
Judge for yourself.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 (2023)
They should've stopped after the first one
I loved the first" my big fat Greek wedding" no. I saw it in the movies and thought it was really funny. Part2, they tried to do the same jokes and it wasn't funny anymore . I don't know why I attempted to watch the third part I guess there's really nothing else to watch anymore. It was sad because the actor who played the father passed away and Lainey Kazan looked terrible. Luckily she wasn't in that much of it. .Nia Vardalos was the Director and writer and I also noticed Tom Hanks. She is not the best actress that didn't help. Andrea Martin is a good actress, but not enough to hold for the whole movie.
Definitely look for something else to watch. You will be very disappointed. What a way to ruin a good movie.
The Tourist (2022)
Loved both seasons
I didn't know what to expect with this series so I decided to watch season one and I'm so glad I did. It was surprisingly better than expected. I love the lead actor , Jamie Dornan. It starts off with a truck running him off the road and wakes up with amnesia. The story goes in there, trying to figure out who's trying to kill him and why. He meets up with the police woman, Danielle McDonald, and she tries to help him find out who he is.
The second season is a little less violent. It definitely has much more comedy. I really enjoyed Helen's ex-boyfriend. It put a lot of humor into the series. There are a lot of twist and turns throughout both seasons, and they're only six episodes each. It does leave an opening for another season, which I will definitely be watching.
There's not much on lately, and this was surprisingly one of the better shows. Give it a shot because it starts out a little slow, but it will pick up and you will want more and more.
The Brothers Sun (2024)
Wow just give it a try
I wasn't gonna watch this until I saw that Michelle Yeoh was in it. I binge watched this in 2 days. After the first episode, I was hooked. It was surprisingly really good.. It's definitely a quick watch of only eight episodes. There is Lots of action and. Some gory fight scenes. They also added some comedy to the mix. I really enjoyed it and was sad that it was over.
Not familiar with the actors that played the sons but they were really good as well. . I think mixing comedy with action made it much more interesting. It was definitely a fun watch and I hope it gets renewed for a second season with a different story.
Tell Me Your Secrets (2021)
I loved it until the last episode
I thought the acting was fantastic . Lily Rabi Can play any role. I loved her in American horror story. Her real life husband, Hamish Linklater ,was also great in this. The story is pretty crazy and a lot of twisted people in this. They didn't really explain much about John boy's character although he was a wacko in this. I was hoping the ending would explain a little more but , it definitely leaves a lot of unanswered questions. I did binge watch this in two days because it held my attention. Not sure why so many bad reviews but it does leave an opening for a season two , which I don't think it's gonna happen. Ignore the haters and give it a try for yourself but just know the ending is a little bit rushed and somethings were not explained . Unfortunately, a lot of series are like this and do not get renewed for another season so it's disappointing.
Day 5 (2016)
Loved this series
I binge watched this in two days. It was a very good premise for a series. Not much is explained but if you fall asleep, you die. The main characters try everything to stay awake. The story involves them trying to find out what caused it and how to be able to sleep again. Every episode had me wanting more. It shows what happens to people with sleep deprivation and trying drastic measures to stay awake by physically hurting them self. When I got to the last episode of season two I was so disappointed. There is no ending and you are left hanging. The series is from 2016 so I'm pretty sure there will not be a third season .I wish I had known before I started to watch this. Unfortunately, this has happened to me quite a bit where the show is not renewed so after investing all this time I was left with a lot of unanswered questions.
Don't get me wrong, I did really enjoy it but, know there is no ending. There should've been another season or at least one more episode to tie everything up. Sadly that's not gonna happen at this point.
5ive Days to Midnight (2004)
First four episodes were intriguing
I found this by accident and started watching it late at night. It was a really cool premise and it keeps you guessing as to what is going on. Nothing is ever explained as to who wanted him killed or why. The ending was very anti-climatic and very disappointing. I thought there was gonna be much more to it on how the future was predicted for his murder. I like Timothy Hutton and acting was good along with Randy Quaid. I still don't understand how he had a file with all the details of his murder five days prior to his death day. This actually could've been a movie instead of a mini Series.
Not sure if I would recommend it . The first couple episodes really keep you guessing as to what's going on and who wants to kill him. Unfortunately, a lot of unanswered questions and a very disappointing ending.
Flight 7500 (2014)
Good for a rainy Sunday afternoon
I wasn't going to watch it after reading all the poor reviews. After flicking through many channels I put this on. Not much happening but overall I found it entertaining. I like some of the actors in this so I figured I'd give it a try. The ending I felt was a little rushed and they could've done much more with this movie. I didn't pay for the movie either so I had nothing to lose except time. I probably would've spent the next 80 minutes searching for something to watch.
Don't expect much, give it a try and perfect for an afternoon movie. Not much else to say and I don't know why I have to live a longer review.
The Dead Zone (2002)
I'm enjoying the show
I'm on season three and so far I really like this series. I think Anthony Michael Hall does a great job as a psychic .I wouldn't compare it with the movie with Christopher Walken although, I really loved that movie. I'm finding that some episodes are better than others .there were a few boring ones which I found myself fast forwarding. The ex-wife , Sarah, annoys me and should really bud out of his life. She's a married woman now and it's to amassed in his life . She spends more time with him than her husband. She has moved on when he was in a coma and should stay that way . I really like her husband, The sheriff . I'm hoping John finds somebody. I liked that he hooked up with Dana but I'm not sure that's gonna last.
As I said I only finished three seasons and I have three more to go so I'm hoping that it gets a little better. I wasn't sure if this was going to be a continuing story but each episode is unique and has a different storyline. All involving his psychic abilities. I recommend giving it a try . There's not much to watch and I found this by accident.
