The Idea of You
(2024)

Best ROMCOM in 20 years
Finally, a REAL movie made since before covid.

A real adaption of a love story with the truest beauty of our generation.

Without a doubt the best erotic love scene ever filmed without nudity.

The authenticity of the meet cute is undeniable & you are trans fixed into a love story for the ages.

This is not Shakespeare in love but a highly believable love story & the consequences of a real-life affair from a female's perspective of being a divorced loving mother having an affair with a younger ADULT male!

Probably every young, divorced mothers dream fantasy come true.

Does true love triumph or wither & die?

You shall have to watch the movie to get that answer!

Coming 2 America
(2021)

Really
Eddie let Arsenio Hall destroy his career once before & it took him 10 years to rebound from that. I really enjoy Eddie & Wesley but putting Arsenio in this would have been as bad as adding Danny Glover to it. This has to be the worst movie Eddie has ever done & I truly feel sorry for him. I don't think there will ever be a rebound of his career after this disaster of a if you want to even call it a movie.

Happiest Season
(2020)

OMG worst gay chick flick ever
Slow, dim witted, no character development, no believable comedy, no script, no believable gay relationships, JUST A WHOLE LOTTA NO NO NO'S

The High Note
(2020)

NAILED IT!!!!
The mark of a good or great movie is how many times will you watch it & if you would watch again the next day. This movie will make you want to watch it over and over. The mark of a good or great movie also is if the ending brings a tear, smile & goose bumps. This movie does all of the above. Dakota Johnson has found her genre to become a star as her mother did. The "LADY" Ms. Ross's role really rings true. The CUBE is always a joy to see on the big screen!!! Watch, enjoy & watch again!!!

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga
(2020)

OMG WILL FINALLY DID IT!!!
Will finally made a movie worse than dumb & dumber, roflmao Make sure your batteries are fresh in your remote. Also a spare set. Very sad as this has to be the worse acting ever filmed. But when there was music not, so bad. That's what you need your remote for, lol. If you loved dumb & dumber then I am sure you will give this 10 stars.

The Expanse
(2015)

Too give this the label of SYFY is doing it a great injustice!!
This series without a doubt is the greatest achievement that could be bestowed upon us humans if you have an intellect and an imagination!!! This Epic tale is not for PUNY BRAINS!! The grandeur of its character's, the political rhetoric agenda, the story line of our projected future (more fathomable to truly believe this is humanities future) & the galaxies that exist to be explored by us mere humans in our obtainable future makes your mind believe that you are actually immersed in this incredible EPIC TALE!!!. This is not SYFY as you have come to know. Throw away all conceptions of what you think is SYFY as this is NOT SYFY. This IS the Prophetable future of humanity

The Irishman
(2019)

unfarkingwatchable
This story has been told over & over & over!!! These old gangster "actors" in their prime (OK fine). Now just totally unwatchable, boring, sad & bad scripting!!! Best thing that ever happened to DeNiro was getting Shot by the "Joker" that way we never have to see him in another bad role, lol!!

Reef Break
(2019)

Come on nay sayers!!!
If you like "Death in Paradise" then you will like this. This is a not a golden globe contender nor was it meant to be. It is an escape & fun to watch for 45 minutes. It has flaws, big whoop, who cares. It is not meant to be a serious crime show. Enjoy the fact that it is not pretentious or predictable but just beautiful scenery and light entertainment. Enjoy!!!

Harrow
(2018)

Well alrighty then mate!
I really liked Ion in Forever which let him craft his character as a pathologist. The pretense as an immortal was OK. This really let him absorb into the new role as "Harrow" which is in the "now" narrative & realistic in it's drama. His being a flawed eccentric genius is perfect for this role as a forensic scientist. The writing is top notch with on going back stories that are connected and a great supporting cast. The ending of both seasons are great cliff hangers leaving you sad that you have to wait for more, lol. This is truly a good show that keeps you entertained and lets you escape your reality and entertains your mind. Enjoy Ladies & Mates!

The Fix
(2018)

GMAB!!!
This is totally unwatchable for any adult. Thought I was watching Robin Tunny's new "The Fix" That is truly the only funny thing about this obnoxious comedic rhetoric. I watched the first episode waiting for the murder. The only thought I had was I hope he kills all of them & then I realized what I was watching. Now that was funny, not this show though!!!!

Under the Silver Lake
(2018)

Well alrighty then!
I was a child of the 60's, survived & I have watched 100"s of movies. This film is what happens when you legalize drugs and say have at it to a bunch of mindless, high, future academy award winner writers, directors & actors. So grab and "USE" your "LSD", "POT" or other mind altering drugs and you will probably enjoy this worthless dribble. Because that is what it will take to watch 02:19:34 of absolutely the worse piece of film making I have ever seen except for maybe, "How to talk to girls at parties".

The Bureau of Magical Things
(2018)

What if?
A truly fun show if you still believe and have an imagination!!! Very well casted with adorable fairies & elves that very well could be fairies & elves. This series should keep going as they bring in more realms & magical beings. Not to be taken seriously nor should it be criticized as it is just meant to be an escape from our mundane world for a magical world where your imagination gets set free for a short while, enjoy!

The Haunting of Hill House
(2018)

Ho Hum
Boring! Snooze fest! Not one scary episode! Not a bad story line just don't expect a horror movie! NETFLIX really over hyped this series. Hey, it is watchable just not what it's billed to be.

Support the Girls
(2018)

Unwatchable
I can usually find some redeeming quality in most movies. Hot looking girls, a sports bar & ???? They missed the boat at every level. How do you not make a car wash not sexy? That is dang near impossible but they did. Maybe if you lived in Colorado & had a couple of brownies you could watch it.

Tully
(2018)

DISCLAIMER
They should have a disclaimer prior to watching this movie. If you don't have kids & think you might, watch this. Great movie for thinking about planed parenthood. If you don't like kids & wonder why tigers eat their young, don't watch this. This movie is almost unwatchable, slooow & very predictable. I gave it 4 stars as to its stars as I enjoy watching both & I did watch to the end just to see if my conclusions were correct which they were. Sorry moms as I understand the tigers point of view.

Mary Shelley
(2017)

A Star is Born
A wonderfully adapted script & casted perfectly for Elle Fanning & Bel Powley. The movie does great justice & entertains you with a wonderful script with flowing poetry and proper English as spoken in the years past. The motivation, inspiration of ones passion, desires and disappointment's allowing Mary to pen her words to a great story are told and performed exquisitely by Elle Fanning who is truly becoming an incredible actress. So if you want a good movie for an adult date night, here you go. Enjoy!

Every Day
(2018)

Nice remake of The Beauty Inside
It is a good movie to see some future stars becoming. Angourie Rice is very nicely casted in this role. A very light movie as we move towards a future of compatibility across all genders & ethnicities. If you have not seen "The beauty Inside" check it out on YouTube also. I definitely recommend this film for all to watch and enjoy

How to Talk to Girls at Parties
(2017)

Hmmmmm Baaaaaaaad
How they convinced 3 of the hottest leading ladies (Elle Fanning, Nicole Kidman, Ruth Wilson) to be in this non sensible dribble is beyond me. I fully expected a great movie & was only wondering how I could get my 1 hour & 42 minutes of my life back. I thought a Clockwork Orange (Great Movie) was the weirdest & strangest movie I had ever seen. Nope This Tops the List fellow Travelers. As a 1/2 hour short story with the ending it had, OK Fine it would have been tolerable. If you must see, make sure your batteries in your remote & fast forward is working. Unfortunately mine were dead or at least that's what I told myself for not using it, lol

Sweetbitter
(2018)

Very well written & perfectly casted
WOW! This has to be the best young adult coming of age story for adventuresome intelligent 20 somethings. The key word's being intelligent & adventuresome not gaming in mommy & daddy's basement. The upper end food service industry & the comraderies of friendships to be made makes for a lifetime of memories & sets you up for the challenges of life to come. There is a reason why 70% of college grads start & end up there, not in their area of education. Very well written & perfectly casted. This is a "GEM" to be enjoyed over & over. Thank you for entertaining me & bring back memories of my 20's

Sidney Hall
(2017)

Gee, actually a real movie to comment on!
If you are tired of all the blue screen, green screen super female hoopla. Watch this real movie that will give you a ride & make you have some conscious thoughts about life, love, happiness & tragedy. A well written & acted story from start to finish. No spoilers here. The editing was amazing as it would give you a piece that kept you wanting more faster. You have to watch, listen & give your attention to a deserving story movie! Relax, pause & reflect upon things to look forward to as you enjoy your 2 hours of escape into Sidney Hall's life. Enjoy

Infinity Chamber
(2016)

My best viewed movie this year!
I can only say that AMAZING is the best description for this movie. I have been so bored with what is being reworked, re-shot, rewrote, remade with no original thought content that this amazingly written, directed, cast & acted movie will be applauded & hopefully awarded it's just accolades in the near future.

What a breath of fresh air for it's original story line & Cinematography. Thank you for making my day!

La La Land
(2016)

Hmmmm not quit a musical & not #1
Just saw the movie & thoroughly enjoyed it. Wish I had waited for the video. I have always liked Emma Stone but feel she was miscast for this role. Not a strong musical voice but as this is maybe half a musical she survived the endeavor.

The story line worked but I feel it should have had a little more money thrown at it & extended the time frame for a far better ending could have been achieved.

The music score when there was one was very enjoyable & when a surprise artist made his intro & your introduced to jazz fusion it saves the movie from being a total flop and makes a memorable scene. To bad there were not more. All in all a watchable flick, once! This is not a Moulin Rouge or Phantom, trust me. Wait for the video, sorry!

Fifty Shades of Grey
(2015)

WHAT?????? you didn't like!!!
WHAT were you thinking when you bought a ticket to this movie?????? All I can say is that anyone who did not enjoy this movie leads a very sad, lonely & unfulfilled life.

If you are a woman and did not enjoy this movie you have truly never been made love too or experienced the real throe's of a sexual relationship and or a real orgasm!!! SAD! My heart goes out to you!

I am a male romantic & a woman's desires and pleasure have been what has motivated me from the time I was 14 years old.

This movie is not about S&M or porno. It is the awakening of a educated & intelligent young woman & a true love story. God made our bodies receptors of both pain & pleasure of which there is a very fine line between.

In my opinion this movie is defined by 2 lines. Christian says "men must just throw themselves at you" & Anastasia says "not any that I wanted"

For you men that just don't get it, start watching chick flicks and rom-coms and you just might find the woman of your dreams and how to keep her.

Younger
(2015)

Funny, Sexy & Promising Comedy
Oh come on get a life nay sayers! Show is adorable and shot for 25-60 year old male or females. Very cute premise and spot on casting. If you don't like chick flicks or rom-coms this is not for you!! Sutton Foster is truly a 40 year old who looks 26 & is smoking hot! She pulls off the part perfectly and kicks in enough spice to definitely heat this up a remind you just how sexy a 40 year old can be. Debi Mazar is the perfect sidekick & Hillary Duff kicks in just the right amount of naiveté to her role. I think this show will really start to gel as everyone grows into their rolls. It should have been written as an hour show. Just as the episode starts to hit stride, poof, see ya next week.

UPDATE; 3 Shows & "Rockin" What a fun show! It is gelling & non stop FUN! UPDATE #2 5 SEASON I sure love this show just wish the would they would make it an hour show. OR join the real world & release all so we can binge, lol.

Tell your friends, spread the word. They deserve to be entertained by a well written & witty comedy!

Mr Selfridge
(2013)

Incredible
I am a 65 year old American male who feel there is something redeeming in most films & shows. Rarely do I want that hour back in my life.

I have found the joy of watching BBC films and shows that most Americans will never experience.

Mr Selfridge, Jeremy Piven and ensembled cast have recreated a GEM of English history that is incredibly well acted and always leaves you wanting more, more, more. The attention to detail of this period of time is truly awesome & brings world history to a reality and a journey back in time.

If you want to be entertained & mesmerized this show is a must see!
