The Beekeeper
(2024)

The Beekeeper Is An Awesome Movie
I am a big fan of Jason Statham and I can binge watch his movies all day. I really enjoyed Beekeeper because it was filled with action from the beginning to the ending.

Now, let's talk about the action performances. Wow! Jason completely owned the screen with his powerhouse performance. The action sequences were choreographed with precision, and the adrenaline-pumping stunts were executed flawlessly. It's evident that the cast dedicated themselves to their roles, bringing authenticity and intensity to every scene.

The cinematography was nothing short of stunning. Each frame was meticulously crafted, showcasing breathtaking visuals that added depth and intensity to the storyline. The use of color, lighting, and camera angles created a visually immersive experience, making it clear that a lot of thought went into the film's aesthetic appeal.

The Beekeeper is by far the best action movie so far during Jason Statham's career.

Youngers
(2013)

I Didn't Like The Character Jay
I would have given this series a 10 but I didn't like how they wrote the character as being a selfish, sex crazed player, and being stuck on his good looks being mixed raced.

Yemi was Jay's best friend and he had low-self-esteem when it came to women and his being a virgin. Jay betrayed Yemi knowing he was interested in Davina. Davina knew Yemi liked her but she had a one-night sexual encounter with Jay. This was personal for me because growing up as a teenager and young man, I had a best friend that was good looking and light skin. All the girls were crazy about him and they didn't pay me no mind. When I look back over 50 years in high school, I remember how my best friend got all the attractive women sexually and I was only his side kick. Girls only talked to me just to get to know him.

I like the character Ashley but I wouldn't have made up with Jay after he slept with the girl, I had a big crush on. After watching season 1, I really dislike the character, Jay. He was a conceited individual and I want his character to suffer a bad experience to make him realize, everything wasn't about him in life due to his good looks. I don't know if I will watch Season 2 after being disappointed after Jay slept with the girl his best friend had a crush on.

Brotherhood
(2016)

Brotherhood Is An Excellent Underrated Movie
I don't know where to start. However, as a U. S. citizen, I love British movies and series hearing those British accents I sometimes have to replay because their English is spoken differently than in the United States.

I enjoyed this gangsta movie mixed with a racially diverse group of people. The male eye candy wasn't bad either. The character Sam Peel, a retired criminal has been locked up in prison. I came by this movie on Tubi T. V. by accident. I was somewhat confused by the plot of Brotherhood and what previously had happened causing Sam Peel to go to prison. I found out later, I would have to watch the British teen 2008 film Adulthood to have a better understanding of Brotherhood.

Without discussing too much of the plot of this movie before others see it, I recommend that you watch Brotherhood. This movie is an excellent and underrated movie. And, I don't understand why it received a lower rating on IMDB. I hope I can find Brotherhood and Adulthood eventually for sale on Amazon Prime videos because I would like to own this movie and it being a part of my streaming movie collection.

The Gentlemen
(2019)

The Gentlemen Is A Classic
This movie is a classic and one of my favorites. I had to purchase and own this in my Amazon Prime streaming videos. Ray, let's play a game, No. LOL Ray and Fletcher were a riot. We know that Fletcher was gay but I suspect Raymond was gay too but not out of the closet. Fletcher had an infatuation for Raymond and I think, Ray enjoyed Fletcher flirting with him. LOL I hope they will make a sequel to this movie. Another favorite part was when Ray chased the little thug down to get his cell phone and the gang was going to attack Ray. Ray pulled out a machine gun and the thugs scattered. LOL

Hugh Grant in this was amazing, his quirky homosexual character had me laughing out loud. The story is fantastic, the dialogue is great, and the film is surprisingly non complicated if you simply pay close attention, but it's genuinely easy to follow. I highly recommend, Guy Ritchie can be a genius. Great acting all round. Charlie Hunnam and Hugh Grant along with other actors were great in this movie. Now that I own it and it's a part of my movie collection streaming on Amazon Prime, I can watch it anytime.

So Help Me Todd
(2022)

I Watch This Series To See Skylar Astin
I watch this series only to see Skylar Astin because he is very talented and funny in this series. However, the character Allison that plays Todd's sister is mindless and is a useless character. This woman is suppose to be a physician and she has mind of a child. Other than that, I don't have a problem with the other characters in this series. I originally wanted to give this series an 8 due to the poor and useless character, Allison. Since Skylar Astin aka Todd is nice eye candy to see weekly, I am give this series a 10.

I would recommend this series to others. I truly hopes it gets renewed for another season.

Barrio Boy
(2022)

Barrio Boy Is An Excellent DL Nuyorican Movie
As an DL Nuyorican, I came across the bay Puerto Rican movie, Barrio Boy. After watching the trailer online at Amazon Prime video, I decided to purchase the movie to be apart of my movie collection. Quique, an attractive hot Nuyorican downlow barber living in Brooklyn, embarks on an erotically charged odyssey of self-discovery. He falls in love with an average white boy from Ireland. For a Nuyorican Brooklyn, New York barber in a macho world, he faces a tough road ahead when his attraction develops for an average white guy.

As an Afro Nuyorican, I was turned off that the DL Boricua's love interest was an average white guy and not a hot Puerto Rican or Dominican guy in New York City. This is one of the best Latino (Puerto Rican) gay movies that focuses on a DL Nuyorican of Puerto Rican ancestry.

However, I came to like the white Irish gay character, Kevin. It's difficult being gay in the Puerto Rican, Dominican, or Cuban culture in the USA and on those islands. What I really enjoyed about this gay Puerto Rican movie, both male gay characters were masculine and not feminine the way the media tends to portray gay men in movies, and especially Hispanic and Black gay men. I am glad I came across this movie by accident surfing movies on Amazon Prime. Barrio Boy is now a part of my Amazon Prime movie purchased collection. I definitely would recommend this movie to any DL masculine Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Cuban men. It's an excellent movie to see and the actor, Dennis Garcia is nice eye candy to see.

Grantchester
(2014)

Great Series But Unbelievable
I don't know where to start. First, what police station would allow a Minister, Vicar, or Priest to assist solving crimes coming and going on a police station in secure personnel locations? As a Vicar at an English church, Sidney Chambers frequently practiced fornication with many different women that's ungodly for a man of God.

The PC train has pulled into Grantchester - and will no doubt ignore the reality of the era with its super soapy silly everybody's lovely depictions of racial and sexual tensions.

I had an issue with a Black and White the fact that the romance occurred (though to the extent that it did, and in a tiny English village, in the 1950s, would have been anything but either so casual nonchalant ordinary or accepted), but considered it thoroughly preposterous that Sidney supposedly was already so madly in love (instantly) that, by a day or so later, he's not only wanting to (completely out of nowhere) devote the rest of his life to and marry Violet, but up and move to the US with her. And the fact that he horned in on Violet on the night of her brother's murder was incredibly callous - which I can't imagine her not feeling the same (and then some). Yet she seems gladly ready and waiting (despite that her father was presumably in the next room!). It all played 100% falsely to me, from beginning to end.

The writers played everything like in mindset and reality of 2019, rather than in the reality of a 1950s sheltered village. I'm pretty confident that in the 1950s no such couple would have decided, without giving the relationship considerable (as in weeks, if not months) time and contemplation, to marry, as there would have been any number of real concerns that a mixed-races couple would have had to take into consideration. That could have easily included not just Sidney, but Violet, winding up for all sorts of targeting - including very possibly of a violent and vicious nature. (In past generations sometimes women in interracial relationships were targeted for rape, to "teach them a lesson".) Too, there would have been the matter of inevitable eventual kids to think about, and what type of life would they be brought in to and have to face?

Code 8: Part II
(2024)

Code 8: Part II Is Horrific With Nice Amell Eye Candy
I tried to give this movie a chance due to the gorgeous Amell 1st cousins, Robbie and Stephen. After watching for the 1st 5 minutes, the movie was boring and uninteresting not making any sense. What is wrong with Netflix because they continue to produce terrible series and movies that appear to be written by a 15-year-old. I wish I could give this movie a rating less than a 1. After fast forwarding this movie to see if it would get interesting, it didn't. I turned the movie off giving it a down vote. Robbie Amell is an attractive and sexy man, however, many of the movies and series he's been in have not been good. Now Stephen on the other hand, I love the series he's in on Starz, Heels.

The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window
(2022)

I Tried Watching This Trash Only For Benjamin Levy Aguilar
I don't know where to start but this series was a hot mess. After watching the 1st 10 minutes, I was bored to death and confused. I only watched this series to see Benjamin Levy Aguilar because he's so sexy with those dreamy hazel green eyes. And, he wasn't seen much in this hot mess of a series. What's up with Netflix and it's series because most times they appear to be written by a 15 year old. I fast forwarded and skip a few episodes just to see Benjamin's character which wasn't much. The 10 minutes I watched in the beginning and the 5 minutes of watching Benjamin seeing his naked behind, I want my 15 minutes back. I wouldn't recommend this series to the deceased in a cemetery.

Shinobi no Ie: House of Ninjas
(2024)

House of Boring
When I first heard about the series House of Ninjas coming to Netflix, I was excited. However, I would have preferred it to be a movie instead of a series because I find series to get boring and longer than a movie. I didn't like the character, Haru. He was boring and uninteresting. The little boy in the series was more interesting than some of the adult characters. I love Ninja movies and I hope this movie would have been similar to the 2009 movie, Ninja Assassin. I became bored after the first 10 minutes watching, House of Ninjas. I started fast-forwarding and I skipped a few episodes going to episode 8. It was a waste of my time to watch this mess. Netflix continues to make crappy series. I would have preferred House of Ninjas to be an interesting movie to keep my attention for 90 mintues.

Mayor of Kingstown
(2021)

Unbelievable Trash But Entertaining
I don't know where to start but the Mayor of Kingstown started off great in Season 1 until they brought in the white trash prostitute, Iris. I didn't see any purpose for this character to be in all episodes. She should have died, been killed, or in just 1 episode. Jeremy Renner's character, Mike was unbelievable. His walking around trying to be super hard trying to control thugs inside a prison and the police was a joke. This guy was an ex-criminal and why would law enforcement let him walk on crime scenes as if he were a police officer? When the Black drug dealer's female cousin referred to Mike as being good looking, I thought she need glasses. The character Mike and Jeremy Renner is not attractive. He looks like a Neanderthal.

I remember Dianne Wiest in the Lost Boys, but her character, Mariam McLusky was some liberal progressive BS teaching in a prison and feeling sorry for dangerous criminals like the one that beat and robbed her. I didn't understand why they referred to an ex-criminal as the Mayor because I wondered who was the elected Mayor of Kingstown, Michigan?

I will admit, I found this unbelievable series entertaining in the beginning and I thought about giving it a 10 but the white trash character, Iris changed my mind.

The Oval
(2019)

This Series is Ridiculous But I Cannot Stop Watching
I have to admit, as a college educated Black man, I first thought this series was garbage. However, after continuing to watch it over the years, I love this series and some of the characters because it is entertaining and make believe. My favorite characters are Max, Donald, Victoria, and Bobby. People need to lighten up because this is entertainment and not real life. I live weekly to see the interactions between Donald and Victoria because they're girlfriends as Victoria stated to Donald. LOL The Oval is on my weekly watch list. Although, I enjoy watching Sistas, I enjoy The Oval over Sistas. I have to admit, the male eye candy on The Oval is sexy, hot, and attractive. (Max, Donald, Kareem, Allan, Eli, Officer Brian Heller, and Antonio. If you want to escape all the depressing crap in the real world, I recommend watching The Oval for laughs, entertainment, and the male hot eye candy.

Bookie
(2023)

Bookie Is Hilarous
I came across Bookie by accident on MAX. It has been sometime that a serious had me laughing so much. I love the lead characters, Danny and Ray. They are very silly but in a good way. Their chemistry together is great not seeing that they are of different races or skin colors. They are actually 2 friends that like each other and would do whatever to protect each other. Watching this series makes my laugh taking my mind off all the depressing things occurring in society. I cannot get enough of this series, Bookie. I love these 2 guys characters. I hope Bookie get's a second season because I will definitely watch it.

Obliterated
(2023)

I Enjoyed Obliterated In The Beginning
I was enjoying this movie in the beginning until that had this special forces team constantly doing drugs, getting high, and drinking alcohol. I cannot imagine this happening in real life to federal agents, military special forces, or MI6 agents. C. Thomas Howell's character was ridiculous and the man has aged badly over the years. He use to be a very attractive man. I enjoyed seeing C. Thomas Howell in the 1996 Vampire/Werewolf series, Kindred: The Embraced. I did enjoy seeing male full frontal nudity. I would have loved to see Nick Zano and Nick Ricciardi do full frontal nude scenes. The Paul's character was ridiculous being high on drugs seeing Gremlins. In the beginning, I gave this series a 10 rating. However, after the special forces agent continuous use of drugs and alcohol was too much. And, let's not forget the horny Latina lesbian special forces agent. Her character sexual appetite was overboard.

May December
(2023)

How Could An Ex-Child Molester Afford To Live In An Nice House
I was confused because an ex-felon had been in prison coming out living in a big fancy nice house without a job. Where did she get the money to afford such a house. Her husband that she seduced at 13 years old getting pregnant by didn't have a high paying job. He worked at a hospital as a X-Ray tech. And let's talk about the brief full frontal nude scene Charles Melton did in this movie. He was wearing a prosthetic penis because it was huge as he got up off the woman after sex. I personally found the characters to be disgusting and I don't know why Netflix would make such a movie. Finally, when the actress had sex with the man that was seduced at 13 was immoral and disgusted for me. I found this movie to be boring and disgusting.

Tore
(2023)

Please Don't Waste Your Time Watching This Garbage
I don't know where to start but this series is awful and boring. The character Tore is unlikable and I wished he had gotten hit by a garbage truck instead of his father.

I was confused because his father didn't look nothing like him and Tore look almost like he was of Indian descent. Not only was the character Tore a hot mess, he was immature, weird, and just very unlikable. Ignoring his father when he was accidentally hit by a garbage truck lying in the street bleeding was very difficult to watch, and his not wanting to attend his father's funeral.

Tore turning to drugs and wanting to give up his virginity to a total stranger after his father's sudden death was rather sad. The guy Viggo he met in a gay club was attractive but he turned out to want to know Tore oppose to a one-night stand. Tore running after Erik a total stranger made him look pathetic. Lastly, providing a senior citizen in her 80's or 90's LSD was rather degrading. I wish Tore had trying to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge oppose to the senior citizen, Heidi.

I fast-forwarded all 6 episodes because this series is boring and it was a waste of Netflix or whomever dollars to produce and make this horrific series. I wish I could give it less than a 1 rating. I wouldn't recommend anyone to watch this boring garbage. Not even the dead!

Split
(2016)

This Movie Is A Hot Mess But I Couldn't Stop Watching
I don't know where to start trying to describe this movie because I would go mentally insane. The characters Inanna and Derek needed some mental health counseling or they should be on psychiatric drugs. I recently became familiar with Morgan Spector as an actor in the HBO series, The Gilded Age. Not only is Morgan very attractive and sexy, he is a great actor but underrated. What I do like about the movie, Split, Morgan Spector does full frontal nudity and gay men and women will not be disappointed. Although, his character Derek had mental health issues, I found him to be very sexy and a turn on that kept me watching this hot mess of a movie. LOL.

Hot Dog
(2018)

Matthias Schweighöfer Is Cute & Funny In Hot Dog
I recently discovered the actor, Matthias Schweighöfer. I decided to watch the movie Hot Dog. This is one of the funniest movies I've watched. I don't know where to begin but the character Theo Ransoff is so cute, innocent, and funny in this movie. I loved who he referred to Luke Steiner as Mr. Steiner showing respect. Theo's character was naïve but very intelligent. The scene when they went to a nightclub and Theo got into a fight with a fat Drag Queen and a Dwarf is hilarious. However, the funniest scene was Theo waking up naked on top of a huge stuffed toy Teddy Bear where he practiced having sex with the Teddy Bear because he was still a virgin. However, Theo is very loyal to his police partner, Mr. Steiner, and he would do anything to please him showing that he is a good police officer. I have watched this movie 4 times and it's now on my list of favorite funniest movies to see. Please don't believe all the hate regarding the movie, Hot Dog. This is a very funny and enjoyable movie to see and Matthias Schweighöfer is so incredibly sexy, cute, smart, and funny in this movie.

Red, White & Royal Blue
(2023)

Red, White, & Royal Blue Is A Great Love Story
I found Red, White, & Royal Blue to be a great love story involving 2 men falling in love with each other. When Henry told Alex in the Amazon Prime movie, Red, White, & Royal Blue to make love to him, I became excited. That was a sensual romantic scene because Alex is so darn sexy with a deep sexy voice. It should be a crime for any man to look as good looking as Taylor Zakhar Perez.

I have watched Red, White, & Royal Blue 3 times on Amazon Prime since it premiered August 11, 2023. I like that way 2 masculine and good looking gay/bisexual characters were portrayed. Hollywood tends to show gay men as being feminine or acting like sissies. There is a great chemistry between the actors and their characters. However, Taylor Zakhar Perez is gorgeous, sexy, and very attractive. I couldn't keep my eyes off his hot sexy body throughout the movie.

You Are Wanted
(2017)

You Are Wanted Is Very Boring
I started looking at this Amazon Prime series because I find Matthias Schweighöfer be very sexy and attractive in a nerdy sort of way. I started watching this series but I began to lose interest because it didn't make any sense and it was boring and unbelievable. However, I watched Season 1 and started Season 2, but I couldn't finished this boring hot mess of a series. In my opinion, Matthias Schweighöfer was not believable as this character and the plot was ridiculous. This should have been a movie and not a series. Please don't waste your time watching this because you will be disappointed afterwards.

The Exorcism of God
(2021)

Blasphemous
I found this movie to be blasphemous. I am tired of seeing horror movies like this with Satan coming out on top with evil over powering good. The Priest in this movie didn't have strong faith by letting Satan temp him with sex and fornication. I believe in God Almighty and his Archangels and I believe Satan and Demons exist.

The Devil cannot exorcism God Almighty because the Devil was an Archangel cast out of Heaven. God is the most high and he is more powerful than Satan and all his Demons in HELL. I would love to see a supernatural movie about Demonic possession with Archangels in the movie battling against Satan and his Demons winning in the end.

I asked myself, what would Sam and Dean Winchester along with Castiel would have dealt this this Demon in this movie?

Hot Air
(2018)

Forced Diversity With A Mixed-Race Teenager
After watching this movie for 5 minutes, I was turned off by the half black and white teenager. I am a Black man but I am sick of seeing forced diversity in most movies with a half white black person oppose to a fully Black person. Why wasn't this kid's father even mentioned in the movie and his being a Black man?

Why would a total stranger travel all the way to New York City showing up at a white relatives home when you've never met the individual and you don't look Anglo? I am fed up with colorism in Hollywood regarding casting light skin or half white characters into the mixed. This teenager was obnoxious and she wouldn't have been able to just enter an upscale building as a non white person without being questioned who was she there to see. Even if she said her mother was the maid, the concierge should have called upstairs to the person penthouse she came to visit. I wish I could give this horrible movie a 0 oppose to a 1.

Glass Onion
(2022)

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery Is Boring
I am currently watching this movie on Netflix and it is boring and uninteresting to me. I find myself on my laptop reading through emails because this movie couldn't keep my attention. I don't know what's all the fuss is about this movie. Daniel Craig's southern American accent is awful. They should have let Daniel speak in his native British accent. I am almost about to fall asleep watching this awful series. I wouldn't have paid to see this crap at the movie theater. Sorry, Hollywood continues to come out with trash or uninteresting movies. I wouldn't recommend this movie to a dead person in their grave.

The Day the Earth Stood Still
(1951)

Seeing This Movie in 2022 Took Me Back To My Childhood
I was born in 1955 in New York City. I first saw the movie, 'The Day the Earth Stood Still' visiting my uncle and aunt in 1961 in Washington, D. C. For some reason, I thought this movie was made in 1959 instead of 1951.

Seeing this movie for the first time as a 6 year old boy, I fought this movie to be suspenseful, somewhat scary, and a good Science Fiction movie. My favorite line in this movie, Klaatu Barada Nikto. Patricia Neal and Michael Rennie was great in this movie. I found Michael Rennie to be an attractive and sexy British actor.

'The Day the Earth Stood Still' is a classic and I own it as a part of my DVC collection. It was on ME television or Turner Classic Movies recently. However, I didn't have time to watch it. I just finished watching this movie on DVD and it took me back to my childhood. I currently live in Washington, D. C. and see some of the familiar streets and landmarks in this movie like the old Peoples Drug Store was a travel back into time. I recommend others to see this great movie classic.

American Horror Story
(2011)

Season 11 Of American Horror Story Is The Worse
I don't know where to start but American Horror Story is a hot horrible mess in Season 11. Not only is it boring, confusing, it's focusing on the AIDS epidemic of the 80's. This series is no longer about Ghosts, Witches, Warlocks, Demons and the Supernatural. All the new characters are boring and nothing like the original cast members.

I am watching the finale of Season 11 and I am bored to death. I have been on my laptop surfing the Internet, watching QVC, and ordering online from QVC. It is time for AMC to cancel American Horror Story or find some new writers with actually supernatural storylines taken place in the present, not the past.
