Welcome to Marwen (2018)
Very interesting
An unexpected study of a man coping with PTSD. He used to be a famous comic book illustrator, but lost his memory after a brutal assault. He copes with pills and by taking photos of action figures he has elaborate stories for. His journey towards finding a victory over drugs and PSTD is very interesting. The action figure tableaux are very well done.
The First Purge (2018)
Not as Good
I liked Purge 1and 3 better, but this one was ok and entertaining. We already knew from the previous Purge movies that the government was inflating kills by hiring people.
WolfCop (2014)
Funny gross movie
I really liked this. The acting was good, the story funny and original. A great B class movie. Special effects were old-fashioned and very much enjoyed.
Another WolfCop (2017)
Fun
Not as good as the first one. It felt like they were trying too hard. But much better than many "big money" action movies. Loved all the actors.
The Path (2016)
Interesting series
This series continues to hold my interest, even when the characters behave in a way that I didn't expect. There are some good twists and it shows that believing in this religion is different to many of the characters. All the acting is very good.
Game Night (2018)
Fun night
It was a funny little movie. The actors did a good job with the script they were given. Again, car chases in movies are impossible to believe and I wish they would get more realistic.
Black Panther (2018)
Don't usually care for superheroes
This was a very well done superhero movie with lots of story lines. However, the car chase scene in Korea was boring and too much CGI, which is the problem in a lot of these action movies. There is no way anyone can drive like this IRL and not hit a pedestrian or a child or a bicycle and that turned me off. The scenes in Wcanda were beautiful, iI felt there could have been a bit more explanation given about the smart sister.
Very happy to see this many POC and women represented.

A Quiet Place (2018)
Subdued Horror
Very well acted and written. Most effective in not showing a lot of blood and guts, but the audience was tense, waiting, having feelings for the characters. The ending was hopeful and interesting.
I Feel Pretty (2018)
Fun movie
I found this to be a small fun movie. If I was younger, I would see it again. Good message to all women having self esteem issues. Liked the PG-13, because I get tired of swearing and being "gross" for laughs in comedies.
