Devil in Ohio (2022)

How can society (and this writer) be so inhumane?

[3/10 · 10 September 2022]

I love cult storylines, but...

Spoilers**

Firstly, hated the ending and that the story is villainising a victim. A minor victim at that.

Secondly, hated how Suzanne's family and therapist were so against her helping this teenage girl, who was about to be murdered. So if I can help/support a child and perhaps prevent from her being murdered, then I shouldn't because (God forbid) my selfish husband and teenage daughters need to go without my undivided attention for a few weeks??

Thirdly, this same husband who is getting jealous of a teenage girl went and blew the whole family's savings on a crock-up idea to build a house for someone but took no payments during the building of the project?? He has a say of Suzanne going to work or housing a girl in danger? Because his personal time and space are affected? His date nights?

Fourthly, the daughters are so selfish as well, don't know where to start. This movie shows how messed up society is. And how messed up the writer is. Why would the writer take such a great story, and villainise a teenage girl about to be sacrificed, just to show that the selfish family were right to be selfish. Mind-blowing in a bad way.

3% (2016–2020)

They failed at a great idea

[4/10 · 29 March 2022]

For a future dystopian world of scarcity, they waste a lot of water. And this bothers me greatly. Water is life. You don't let it run to plunge your face in it or muffle your secret conversations. ... like what the fudge.

Rescued by Ruby (2022)

Nostalgic

[9/10 · 17 March 2022]

This is a movie that reminds me of my childhood. Amazing dog actor. Not a CGI movie with CGI dogs. Heartwarming story. It was just rusty in the beginning when the guy was trying to train the dog by himself. Doesn't have a clue. You would think if you were trying out for the K9 unit for 7 years, you would get some basic understanding of dogs. Just my opinion.

Spoiled Brats (2021)

Funny but wrong

[7/10 · 13 March 2022]

I really liked this film for its humour and entertainment. However, the message at the end with the dad being in the wrong... does not sit well with me. I could see it from his point of view. And his spoilt, irresponsible adult kids did give him a heart attack. It's ridiculous these 3 blamed all their first world problems on their father, who only tried to do his best.

Mixtape (II) (2021)

A little gem

[10/10 · 11 December 2021]

This is such an underrated movie that will give you all the feels. Also has nice positive messages about familial love and friendship. Bev's parents' last song to her is very beautiful and emotional.

Dune (2021)

Wtf

[1/10 · 9 December 2021]

I understood nothing from this movie. Are all the high reviewers paid or bots? What's happening? Nothing makes sense. Totally lost. No story. And a bit boring.

Squid Game (2021– )

No geniuses here.. Underwhelming and predictable

[2/10 · 10 October 2021]

The messages of this series were too negative. The topics have been done before, but this series shows worse versions of the topics.

Nearly everything was predictable. Stupid decisions are made. Don't understand what all the hype was about. Won't be watching the second season. If any.

The Water Man (I) (2020)

Shocked at the low reviews. Loved this movie.

[10/10 · 7 August 2021]

This was a deep movie with central themes of love, friendship, family, anticipation of grief & loss, psychology and imagination are all woven together to create this beautiful story.

The snow was ash for all the confused reviewers out there. Water man was a figment of the boy's imagination.

Resort to Love (2021)

Beautiful film!!

[10/10 · 1 August 2021]

Loved it. A non cheesy rom com that leaves you feeling good.

Sisters (2017)

Trainwreck

[3/10 · 5 July 2021]

What's wrong with these characters?? Most of them are egoistic and always feel entitled.

Hated it. Finished the series though. I only liked Tim, Logan and the nurse brother.

The Tomorrow War (2021)

Entertaining future alien apocalypse

[7/10 · 2 July 2021]

Entertaining future alien apocalypse (human beings are partly at fault).

I liked the plot but some things didn't make sense so I think the writing isn't strong enough.

For example, I found it difficult to imagine why Dan was so insistant on saving the current present instead of just changing the future.

Also why world governments did not find it necessary to eliminate the problem when they could. There is no reasonable justification.

Summerland (I) (2020)

Beautiful story with happy tears.

[10/10 · 19 June 2021]

This was a beautiful story. I wish more people knew about this movie.

Although I had a gut feeling Frank was Vee's before the reveal, I still loved this story. It tugs on your heartstrings and has depth. The Frank child actor is perfect, the music is perfect, everything is perfect.

Cruella (2021)

Epic!

[10/10 · 7 June 2021]

This movie is perfect! Did not see that plot twist coming!!

Sweet Tooth (2021– )

Unique and beautiful

[10/10 · 7 June 2021]

This series is the kind of series I've been waiting for a long time. It's beautiful, emotional and current. A what-if scenario to the world. The links to the pandemic are not lost, nor the creations of hybrids. Eagerly waiting for season 2.

Sweet Tooth (2021– )

Magical! Missed films like this.

[10/10 · 6 June 2021]

Watched the first episode and so far it's a beautiful film and story.

What/If (2019)

Fantastic

[10/10 · 5 June 2021]

Loved this!! Deserves a way better rating. Was really surprised by some of the discoveries.

The End of the F***ing World (2017–2019)

Complete waste of time

[1/10 · 2 June 2021]

Was everyone who gave this a good rating high or paid? Watched both seasons. Hated it.

Army of the Dead (2021)

A big NO from me.

[2/10 · 21 May 2021]

Plot is terrible.

Bad decision making on all fronts.

There is no "why" answered.

No "how" answered.

What is the point of this movie other than killing scenes?

Things Heard & Seen (2021)

Fantastic movie for people with imagination. Loved it.

[10/10 · 8 May 2021]

It an amazing movie with themes of religion, spirituality, fraud, abuse and machismo. What's not to love?

And the ending shows George sailing into hell, called by his wife's voice. What can be worse than hell?

Those who focus and with an imagination will understand it. Not for people with a short attention span. It's not rocket science, people...

Simply Irresistible (1999)

This could have been great and entertaining but...

[2/10 · 28 April 2021]

The guy is abusive and doesn't deserve the girl. She should stand up for herself and find someone else.

Paper Lives (2021)

Heartbreaking

[10/10 · 1 April 2021]

I was extremely annoyed with Mehmet's behaviour and actions... until the end. Beautiful and heartbreaking.

Where the Wild Things Are (2009)

Disturbing

[1/10 · 30 March 2021]

Found this movie very disturbing... and I'm an adult. It was either disturbing or boring. And Max is a spoilt child. Why does he have so many issues? He has a loving mom, a roof over his head, food on the table... he's a child. I just don't understand it.

Yesterday (III) (2019)

Currently watching... and very bored

[1/10 · 28 March 2021]

Passing the 1 hour mark is a real struggle... not sure if I should continue with this movie. 55 more minutes to go.... to commit.. or not to commit...

Ok finished the movie a day later. Absolutely hated this. Very boring. Especially given the hype... totally underwhelming.

The Haunting of Hill House (2018)

Epic! Perfect storytelling!

[10/10 · 27 February 2021]

Loved the story!! Minimal jump scares (don't like them), minimal gory scenes (don't like them at all) and, best of all, really makes you think and still catches you off guard! Prefer this one over the 2nd one.

Behind Her Eyes (2021)

Epic!

[10/10 · 27 February 2021]

Spoilers!

One of the fewest movies that kept me guessing until the last scene where Lou tries to save Adele.

Absolutely loved it. Concepts were very interesting.
