Looking for Melania Trump
(2020)

The person who wrote this must be very miserable and jealous
It's actually very sad to see how someone and claims to know about Melania Trump. All they do is smear her, snicker, and make assumptions they could not possibly know. It reeks of desperation.

Whoever wrote this is better off, working at some two -2-bit newspaper as a gossip columnist. That's the effect this pseudo documentary comes off as- A cheap gossip column written by someone very jealous. Such a shame.

I can't even believe they don't realize how cheesy it is, I'll make sure I never read or watch anything that this person did again if this is what they think is important in this world worthy of a film. SMH.

The only take away I got from this film was that they certainly hate Donald Trump and anything associated with him, especially his wife.

Babylon
(2022)

I wanted to love this, I really did....
I really thought I would enjoy this- I mean the actors, the premise, etc... I read some of the reviews, but I thought they were expecting too much and I thought I would really enjoy it. This movie has a great cast, but it is a very hot mess. I can't even explain it if I wanted to. It is such a shame. They have a great cast, and they're all good at their roles, but the story makes absolutely no sense. The movie score sounds like it's taken from the movie La La Land, and I just kept hoping it would eventually make some kind of sense -it doesn't. I'm so glad I didn't pay for this and watched it streaming on Paramount. Plus it would've been a waste of $20.

Halston
(2021)

Right on the money!
Watching Ewan McGregor, Was like watching Roy Halston himself on TV. I grew up wearing Halston, and I remember him from studio 54. This movie was 100% on the money, And Ewan McGregor, Was absolutely astonishing in this role.

The Killer Speaks
(2012)

Scarier than watching a horror movie
Watching the interviews with these murderers, is more frightening than watching any horror movie. It gives you a window into the souls (or lack of souls) of the murderers, Hearing them speak, and listening to Their reasons for doing what they did.

An Inspector Calls
(2015)

Great movie
Great movie-Great story, great cast, and great acting! Perfect all the way around.

Solos
(2021)

Are they kidding?
I've seen a lot of bad to mediocre, TV shows and movies in my life. This is from Amazon with a great cast, Are they really out of ideas and this is the best they could do? Don't waste your time.

The Sons of Sam: A Descent Into Darkness
(2021)

Not a conspiracy theory
I was a teenager living in Staten Island at the time. It was a very Traumatic two years. When they arrested David Berkowitz as the son of Sam, the entire city was relieved. I could understand why, since he was involved in some of the killings -But, just read the first letter that the son of Sam wrote to Jimmy Breslin, a famous writer in New York at the time. And you will understand that this is not a conspiracy theory.

The Fear of 13
(2015)

Amazing storyteller
Without saying anything, you must watch this for yourself. It is worth your time.

300
(2006)

Basically, this movie is based on true events -about good versus evil
Basically, this movie is about good versus evil. It is based on the true story about a real life king- Spartan king and warrior named Leoneidis. I have read all the reviews. But regardless of what they are-99% of the people don't get the gist of the movie. And the gist of the movie is good against evil. Whether it's 100% historically correct, whether or not you like the special effects -it doesn't matter. It's about living a life for God and good, or earthly pleasures and evil. I I'm so surprised that most people missed this one simple singular point

The Haunting of Bly Manor
(2020)

And I'm being nice when I give it five stars
And I'm being nice when I give it five stars. I'm watching episode five again for the third time. I've been re-watching The first four episodes over and over again, Thinking I'm missing something, and I keep falling asleep. I've been doing this for two days. Is it me or is it as boring as I think it is? If things don't change soon I'm giving up

The Boys in the Band
(2020)

I felt like I was Watching a play
Overall, I really enjoyed this movie. Jim Parsons was great, however I think he over-acted the part a little bit. I did not see the original play so that may be a good thing or that may be a bad thing. All of the actors were good and the music was great the subject was great I just felt like I was watching a play rather than a movie where everything is just a little bit over-acted.

Ratched
(2020)

One of the best shows I've seen in a while
One of the best shows I've seen in a while.I just finished watching season one. Before I watch did I read the other user reviews, and saw That a lot of other viewers thought it was too much like ASH. Before I go there, let me say that the cinematography, the Acton, the costumes, and the musical score were on point. However, when you have Sarah Paulson playing a nurse in an insane asylum, Of course it's going to remind you of AHS, Asylum. Overall, the story was great and I can't wait for the next season. I think Ryan Murphy did a great job and I look forward to more of his work.

I'm Thinking of Ending Things
(2020)

If I had to watch the entire movie I would be thinking of ending things Too
I tried twice to watch this movie, I can't get more than a half hour into it and maybe there's some hidden meanings I don't understand, but I was thinking of ending it and then I ended it. It's like watching paint dry
