The Son
(2022)

Very realistic portrayal of mental health illness
The storyline in my opinion is very realistic. After a divorce many people forget the lasting impact on any child. This movie definitely outlines the pain Nicholas suffered by the break up of his parents. It shows how complex and often hidden signs of depression and anxiety. I did like the fact that Nicholas asked "the other woman" why it didn't stop her from pursuing a married man who was also a father. She seemed genuinely upset. I did feel even after Nicholas was lost, she was very insensitive and almost jealous that Dad was heartbroken and thinking about his son. All in all the movie gives a pretty accurate portrayal of.the pain and suffering that comes with mental illness.

Absolutely hilarious
If you are looking for something crazy, funny and just absolutely hilarious this is definitely a movie to watch. It's so refreshingly unserious. A small amount of brief nudity but nothing too trashy. I am really happy that I took a chance on this movie besides the negative reviews. This is just a truly funny movie. Don't try to read too much into the plot. Just enjoy the amazing performances by every single actor involved. Even the ending is fantastic. I do love how there is a happy ending for the main family and to top it off the 2 jerks of the movie end up with each other. Really an excellent family movie.

Spencer
(2021)

Not very flattering
I really didn't care for this movie. They really did make Diana look like she's crazy. Like she was having hallucinations and temper tantrum's. Also the comparison to the other Bohlen girl really felt auto place. Her wandering around the grounds at night. Just really made her look crazy. I really don't believe this movie did Diana justice. I don't believe it was the acting, but the script itself.

The movie shows Diana is weak, confused, and unreliable. Also, the relationship she has with my children was not portrayed in a positive light, but more off, almost emotionally abusive. Overall, I think the movie made Diana look very different than she actually was.

No One Will Save You
(2023)

Surprisingly good movie
There are only a few words spoken during the entire movie, there wasn't one boring minute. The main character is one brave b**** !!! Really a great movie and definitely worth your time. It actually gives you a different angle on alien abduction to be honest. I feel like they kind of felt a mixture between pity and admiration for her after seeing what she experienced in her past. She was not as easily cloned and replaced as others in the town. I am really amazed that a movie without actual dialogue left this much of an impression on myself and my husband. The only negative thing was that I wish there was a translation of what the aliens actually said about her. I will def recommend this movie.

Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities
(2022)

Worth binge watching
Absolutely loved every single episode! Not one boring moment. My husband and I couldn't stop watching! This reminded me of what American Horror Story used to be like. I hope there will be many seasons to come ! Every single episode had a creative and twisted storyline. Great acting. Each episode is about an hour long. Enough time to suck you in and keep you on your toes. I was surprised to see Rupert Grint in one of the episodes but was pleasantly surprised by his absolutely amazing performance! The writer of AHS should collaborate with the writers of this series ! I am so happy I ran across this while trying to find something good to watch ! I will recommend this series to everyone I know 💜

American Horror Story
(2011)

Def no Horror show anymore
I am so disappointed in season 11. It's not only super boring but barely makes any sense. Idk what happened if the writers just don't care anymore or what, but this season doesn't even feel like AHS. I hope they'll be able to get back to the way the show used to be or I seriously doubt I will watch another season. It's a da** shame. AHS was one of the shows I used to look forward to every year, but this season was truly horrible and not what I expected of a Horror Show. The last 2 episodes are so confusing and just dumb. The acting was just bad for a lack of better word. I am not surprised that none of the original cast members signed on for this season.

The Unforgivable
(2021)

Pleasantly surprised
Wasn't sure what to expect but was definitely pleasantly surprised. It was well structured and kept my attention. Sandra Bullock really shined ! I would def recommend this movie. Also keep the box of Kleenex close.

Nine Perfect Strangers
(2021)

Slow start
It took a min to pick up, but once you connect with the participants it's a very interesting show. Def one of the more emotional stories.

The Devil All the Time
(2020)

WoW
I am blown away! This movie is one of the best I've seen this year. Roberts performance is outstanding! Amazing to see how much he has grown since Twilight. Big surprise to see his Harry Potter costar Dudley lol Tom Holland's performance as a serious actor def has a bright future! All in all it was def a great watch and worth the wait

I'm Thinking of Ending Things
(2020)

Would give it a -10 if I could.
It's that bad ! It's confusing and makes absolutely no sense. A bunch of rambling and word diarrhea. Don't waste your time

Unhinged
(2020)

One of his best movies yet
Absolutely loved it. The scissor was classic !! Russel Crow's performance was dynamic and scary lol

The Stranger
(2020)

Awesome
I have to say I was really skeptical due to the 9 min episodes. But boy was I wrong. This is so different from the normal formula. The show itself was also great. I loved the bad ass ending ! Def worth watching

Guns Akimbo
(2019)

Loved it
Was Daniel super funny. Yes it's a little bloody lol but still def worth watching!!!

Dare Me
(2019)

Boring as hell
Don't even waste your time. This show made me fall asleep. Nothing really happens (at least up to episode 4)

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil
(2019)

You won't be disappointed
I was never really a fan of Angelina Jole. That def changed with the first and again with this movie. The entire cast is awesome! The storyline kept things interesting and new. Sadly we lost some of my favorites but it turned out to be ok. The fight scenes are timed nicely and don't drag on. I truly enjoyed this movie and will def watch it again ;and again) (and probably again lol) I would recommend watching this movie with or without kids. Enjoy !!

Joker
(2019)

WoW
What a performance by Joaquin Rafael Phoenix!!! Unbelievable! Def the best movie of 2019 !!!!

Doctor Sleep
(2019)

Finally !!!!!
An absolute MUST SEE for every Stephan King fan ! One of the best movies I have seen this year

American Son
(2019)

Garbage
It felt more like a session with a marriage counselor than anything. We didn't really find out anything about the kid or why he was a passenger in his own car. Even the argument with his mom the night before remains a mystery. The dad (the FBI agent) being arrested was completely unrealistic and just plain stupid. It wasn't even clear what actually happened to their son. All in all a waste of time

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil
(2019)
