reviews1958's reviews

Keenanstarr hit it out of the park in their one star review. I couldn't have written it better myself. Be sure and read it.

M. Night should be ashamed of himself. Why do your "oh there he is" spot in the flick as Lady Raven's uncle and not her daddy. I'm gonna guess he tried to distance himself somehow some way from this complete and total mess by not taking responsibility for the waste.

The stage show was so laughable. If this person was really anything close to being able to sell out a venue like was shown they'd have more going on then cutesy dresses and wiggle a-bouts writhing on the stage around her.

It's written at the beginning of the movie that M. Night's protege' wrote all of her songs. Well it sounded like she wrote one song and then used it over and over and over again with different lyrics.

If I can give everyone thinking of wasting your time watching this one hint it would be they all did it for Christmas money. Nuff said.

Meaning won't be seen by those that need to see it.

Calling this murderer a "star" is laughable. Call him what he is. This would have been better titled "The Tik Tok Murderer". It would've garnered more attention.

I'm old enough to know that persons who feel the need to document every single second of their lives online are mentally ill. Plain and simple. Then throw on top of that those who post their lives actually believing the fake persona. Then, in this case they start to be believe their actor material. Then the narcissistic mental illness and ideation increases min by min.

I feel for Ana but domestic abuse victims need to recognize that they are. They also need to visualize themselves lying on the floor with several bullets. They need to visualize never seeing family members or if they have children ever seeing their children again. To solve that becoming a distinct possibility they need to get out and distance themselves as far away from these sick individuals as possible. There are so many resources. Free resources at that to assist. But this is an age old story of those who protect their abusers by believing an internal lie that the abuser will get better. Well, they will. Better at manipulating and better at killing them.

I simply cannot understand why a mother would want to demonstrate to their children the picture of abuse and allowing it to happen. In other words teaching them that if this happens to them, they just need to take it. A better lesson would be to demonstrate leaving the abuser.

Wow. Simply wow.

I wish I had the opportunity to see this in IMAX as watching it on Prime at home was excellent. I can only imagine how superb it was in IMAX.

I rate very few documentaries a 10 star but this was so well rounded and done so extremely well.

The pilots are incredible and none of them were arrogant or obnoxious. So refreshing to see that they personally own what they are doing and enjoy every moment of the talent and opportunity they have been given.

So many of the images captured the "reached out and touched the face of God". They were so breathtaking and heart pounding in several scenes. It is incredible what the pilots can make these flying machines do and do it so well.

I applaud the effort it took to put such a great film together. I will watch this several times and it will be the first documentary I have ever done so.

I heard about this movie after the recent arrest of Rex Heuermann. Personally I believe there is more then one killer. In this movie Shannon calls the police (of which they didn't respond for over an hour) and in the recording she says "they're trying to kill me". Serial killer means one person is the perpetrator. Serial killers is plural and I don't think for one second if any person called the police in hysterics and say "they" that it doesn't mean there wasn't more than one person she feared her life for.

Such a tragic story overall for this family.

I thought it was well made as, at the time it was made, there was no person being investigated despite the number of murders in the back yards of this so-called gated community.

I'd like to think the mother was able to bring down wrath on Rex Heuermann as she desperately wanted to know who killed her daughter.

No one should ever overlook the inability of local yocal police. I live in a small community and I don't think they would ever be able to handle a case of this magnitude of murders. I would hope they'd have the common sense to call in a better agency (not necessarily the FBI as they're sure showing their true biased colors as of late) to assist in investigating and finding the perpetrator/s. Local police are good but their scope is very limited, especially in respect to budget cuts and them being the target themselves of persons driven by the media to hate.

I do recommend this movie.

I enjoy Rosamund Pike and the different movies she has acted in. "Gone Girl" she was beyond excellent. As good as she was in "Gone Girl" she is just as bad in this mess.

This movie - made no sense, has no beginning, middle, or end. There is no story. There is nothing. Except what a total waste of time.

Don't waste your time, much less a penny to rent/stream it. Thank goodness I only wasted my time.

I'm not one for slapstick humor. Although this has it, it is acted so very well.

Nancy Zamit as TinkerBell (she plays more than 3 characters throughout the entire play) was hysterical. I had to go back a few times to watch her and some of her dance ditties.

All of the characters are adults...playing children in some parts. They carried it off really well. Several of the actors played more than 1 character and were enjoyable to watch them play a different character but still have remnants (on purpose) of the other characters they play. Sounds simple enough, but it's not. Many Hollyweirdohs high and mighty have been paid much more and would never be able to do it.

Just go in to this not knowing too much, other than the Peter Pan story itself.

Stick with it and you'll be in for a pleasant and funny watch. Some parts just to put a smile on your face as it's just clean fun.

Great humor, no cussing, just general good fun for the entire family.

So refreshing in these days and times where fighting, full frontal nonsense, and social justice pontificating have become the norm in everything made now.

It'd be so refreshing to have more of this type of viewing.

Kudos to the writers and actors. Good job. I watched this on Youtube Red free movies in case you're looking for it.

I bought this for evening relaxation. It is so clear. So mesmerizing. So peaceful.

The music isn't intrusive on the whale or water sounds.

There are mainly humpbacks. Having lived in Hawaii for 4 years I eagerly anticipated February every year so I could go to certain spots on shore and watch the moms and new calves breach and sing. I am so grateful to have the ability to see them underwater. Huge creatures but the most gentle and graceful animal on the planet.

No greater cinematography of them then this.

I rated this an 8 to help boost the star rating as I actually found it quite good. Different also. Takes a lot for me to rate a story over a 6 but this movie had an intriguing set-up. Since it's on Hulu my initial thought going in was "oh Lord, I wonder how bad this is gonna be" as it isn't getting the greatest reviews. I was very surprised to find it was good. Creepy as all heck as well.

I'll break down what was right first: Creepy. A good story.

I'll break down what wasn't: Slow paced. A Lifetime TV movie style/feel to it (and I honestly haven't looked it up to see if this was what it was originally and Hulu propped it up). Tried too hard to mis-direct who the culprit was.

Overall, though, a good effort at creepy. Almost too good at times because I kept looking around, during the movie, my own house to see where someone could do what happened in this movie. Thank goodness we don't have an attic! But we have walls - yikes!!

Both actors did a great job of carrying the movie. I thought the script was written well.

I enjoy surprises along the way, that I didn't figure ahead of time, and a satisfying ending.

I give this a solid 8/10 stars.

...BUT it was refreshing in that I couldn't with this story. I can't recall in recent memory of a movie with this sort of tale. All actors played their parts very well. Kayla (Joey) played a great on the edge cray cray hormonal teen, with plenty of angst all over the map. The movie is a slow burn. Nothing in your face. No absurdly silly jump scares, unnecessary blood, gore, or (only to sell a movie) gratuitous sex scenes. Very much worth sticking with the buildup. Especially toward the end, but no need to fast forward as it isn't going to help because you need all of the pieces of the puzzle to make it worth the ride. There are some emotions that any parent would recognize throughout. It also makes you question just what you would do for your child...no matter how unstable they are.

This was very distracting to me. Soundtracks from films made in the 60's, when this series is supposed to be in the late 40's, and 1950 makes no sense. Are there not enough music writers to get original music for the show? Not just the intro, which was nails down a chalkboard itself, but music for different "suspenseful" scenes. Pretty poor on Murphy's part but I'm beginning to wonder if he hasn't made a lot of enemies based on the recycling of actors and now the music. Will no one else work for or with him? Paulson is excellent but since this takes place just 15 years before "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" it would've served better to have an actress who at least resembles the original Ratched. Not just in hairstyle and sociopathic behavior and demeanor. I enjoyed Judy Davis as she isn't in the Murphy sect. Refreshing to see leads other then the usual AHS fare. The colors were beautiful and nostalgic to watch. I actually liked the story but it would have been served better with a number of changes.

I so agree with IMDB user "fedore8" and their review of this quasi-docu. The cinematography is phenomenal. However the use of time lapse in so many places was a turn off. Hippie girl who seems to know it all about what peace should be and how the earth is being ruined by people yet she takes no issue with fossil fuel keeping her rear end warm so she can pontificate. She's not adorable. There's a reason she gets along so far away from others in the real world. I'm more then sure this is her only sorority that she was allowed to join as the rest of us in the human race have said to her "move along, we're sick of listening to you". I half expected her to show her hobby as knitting pink stocking hats with two pointy ears...if you catch my drift. With the whining of so many of them you'd never know they, themselves, signed up for this gig. They weren't forced to go, nor forced to stay for any longer then what they signed up for. "No one gets to stay here indefinitely.". Well, what a great observation. I know it'll come as a huge shock to him that none of us get to stay anywhere indefinitely. We all die. This is the same wisdom spiller of the clouds and the obliteration of the O-Zone. Oh my gosh, if only we could send Al Gore here. Forever. We'd all be a lot better off and they'd have their ManBearPig to worship. (But not indefinitely because, we all die). Just like they let the seal do because they "aren't allowed to interfere with nature". They've already interfered by being there in the first place. I'd lay some serious money they wouldn't have taken the seal in because it would poopy, it would be stinky, and they would have to think of someone or something other then themselves. There isn't one single thing to be garnered from this so called documentary. Oh sorry, there is and that is I'd never want to live anywhere near these whiners.

Left the movie 14 mins in. Do yourself a favor and skip this leaning cram it down your throat bunch of boring hate. This director is waaaaay off his rocker.

There is only one honest concise review about this 11th grade project here . Yep, it's the one that isn't a 10/10. Dear Lord. I thought I'd give this a chance but I couldn't make it through it's entirety. Let's start with the narrator. It's more rambling then it is narration and every now and then he breaks in to a split personality personal narration of statements made by different individuals. Some named. Some not. Some having to do with the story (I think as I never really garnered much of what even happened nor who saw what). Some not. I sat for the first five mins listening about Mulholland's bio including he was from Ireland, his father was a strict religious sort, his mother and two sisters died of TB, he made 14 voyages across the Atlantic before coming to the USA, etc. I mean WTH did this have to do with the story about the tragedy other then Mullholland was involved in the development of the dam. That's it. Then there's the comical sound effects at different points in time which involved a static picture of Earth. Uh. Once again, WTH was that all about. There are two elderly gentleman who it states were "witnesses" yet they had to be awfully young when this happened so how did they come about being witnesses to the tragedy? But in good journalism there always has to be fake headlines. You know, anything to sell a newspaper so there was figures of 200 to 1125 persons who died noted in said headlines that are shown. Really? That's a pretty broad window there. The narration states there were 400 dead yet goes on to say there never was an accurate body count as so many were never found. So where did the 400 number come from? For that matters, where did any of the figures come from. Ok. I give. I stop here in hopes that someone will read this and not waste the 25 mins of their life on this like I did.

Awful the majority of the time. This isn't even at Lifetime sappy level. Plus the mistakes, obvious ones I might add, are humorous. Watch John Heard's character Frank when he first meets his nurse. He's supposed to have had a right-sided stroke and needs rehab and yet he reaches for his walking cane with his...wait for it...right hand. Then he's in the pool later with his Physical Therapist and when he goes to get out of the pool he can use his right leg and arm just hunky dory. No problemo. Geesh. I watched this flick till the end just to see how much Cara was gonna babble her psychomumbojumbo BS whilst mysteriously speaking as just a head with pearls on. I mean come on. Composition of a shot anyone? I have already come to the distinct conclusion to quit watching anything that is rated 5stars or higher on IMDB. Seriously, does writing great (fake) reviews pay that well? Seems very few people have any integrity about themselves anymore. Rest assured I ain't gettin' paid to write reviews. I owe it to myself to be honest so others can make an honest call whether they want to watch an outright awful movie. This one is just that...an outright awful waste of time.

For heaven's sakes...if you're going to try and write a false review to seem like you're unbiased then don't go for a 7-10 star rating with words in the review such as "excellent" or "great". Smart IMDB'ers have gotten wise to your antics.

This is a very slow and laughable movie. Thank goodness I didn't pay to see this silliness. McDermott is not good. Nor Harris. Not anyone. Even the "squeal like a hog" chick on the floor was bad. I mean really. The chick is hog tied, so I guess the director told her to squeal like a hog. Go figure.

There's nothing redeemable or watchable here. My regret is I watched it from start to finish. Don't make the same mistake. And nope I'm not pre-pubescent (as one goofy reviewer alluded to why persons wouldn't like this flick)...way way way far from it. I'm of the genre that used to be able to watch a good flick every now and then from the wizards of Hollyweird. Guess all those wizards are long dead and gone. Never to be heard from again meaning none of us can look forward to anything worth a hoot coming from the west coast ever again At all.

Oh my. This is a discombobulated mess. Most documentaries explain...something. For example, who they're interviewing and why. This "documentary" is all over the map. Like lightening, I suppose. I couldn't figure out 1% of the time where, why, or who anything that was going on, was about. Watch youtube videos showing lightening strikes. That's about all this is. Pretty boring watching someone who can't play the guitar but was struck by lightening, attempt to do so in order for an eeg to be mapped by. Really? And guess what...yep, you guessed it...nada was gathered or determined. Nothing.

What an eye-opener. I simply had no earthly idea what is going on with "exotic animals" in the United States. I mean WTF. Who in their right mind would keep wild animals as household pets? This needs to be outlawed in all 50 states. I applaud the effort made in the state of Ohio and all 49 other states need to follow suit - immediately. On top of my disbelief at the statistics of the number of lethal creatures there are in US households, I could hardly believe what the Amish are doing. They have one of the main sources for the purchase of these creatures that need to be living life in their own natural habitat. Not in homes where they can literally kill or maim a young child at any given moment because this has happened - repeatedly. Not a one time occurrence. There should be a law that if someone has this type of creature and the creature causes harm or death to a human, that person should be held liable and serve prison time. Period. I thank the producer for this documentary and opening my eyes as I plan to contact my local representatives to find out what the laws are where I live and if this practice is allowed, to petition to prohibit it. Permanently. Geesh. I wonder just how more mad humans can get. I mean mad in a mentally ill state. Good heavens people, this is what domesticated animals are for.

and then have people who have absolutely no acting talent whatsoever play around like they think they can actually act, in a multi-story montage that has no redeeming storytelling whatsoever. Then we'll use every option available in our video editing program and throw a bunch of crap together and then say we made a "movie". For good measure we'll get some wiz to write a glowing IMDb review because that works for all the big production companies, right? People are sheep and will believe anything that is written so rather then try not to be so obvious when writing that fake review we'll have it glow like Hiroshima. No one will know any better. Right? Wrong. This is a pile of stinking dung. Good thing everything is digital these days and nothing organic was destroyed for nothing in the making of this dung heap.

Awful. Just awful. I watched it to the end just to see how bad it could get. It got really bad. If I heard "Jeffery" say "Muh Mah" one more time I was going to vomit. There's nothing funny in this. Nothing. Not even past a silly chuckle. I should've known to look to see who the executive producers were before I wasted my time watching this. Shame on me. Here, I'll save you the time. One of the 4 is - you guessed it - Baby Face Schumer. Someone else in an earlier review hit it on the nail saying if you want a box office poison pill, put her in a flick. Guaranteed that you'll get Amy to say the word vagina on multiple occasions because that's so cute in her immature pea brain. Then follow that with some boob hanging out and you've got the combo to make any male teeter over the edge. Not! Good heavens, how many times can you say the "p" word. Isn't she supposed to be one of those who are so offended by the word and yet cast it off her, and others, tongues multiple times without flinching. This was just a total mess. No redeeming factors in it anywhere. Not a good story line. Not even good actors to try and save this mess. If I could reverse time, I'd snatch myself out of thinking of giving this a chance. Oh Schumer, perhaps you can start using that word -snatch- now for giggles. I'm sure that's just on the horizon for you to switch it up and not use the "p" word or the vagina word multiple times lest you offend the "female movement" in your next movie. Oh, that is if any movie production company would dare use you in a movie again. If they do, Hollyweird is dumber then I gave them credit. By the way, I am a female. I take offense to any female using certain words in reference of female body parts to garner a laugh and a few bucks yet act so appalled when others do it. It's just like the "N" word - you don't get to pick and choose who says it if you are constantly using it yourself. It doesn't compute.
