Ted Bundy: Falling for a Killer
(2020)

Tastefully done and Long Overdue!
I have watched just about everything on this deplorable man and always felt like a the whole point was amiss in so many documentaries where he was sensationalized...but watching this balanced and painfully honest look into the aftermath of the people who lived close to him and knew him, I finally feel justice has been served. To hear from the survivors and the family members of the hurt and to see them come to terms and process the trauma inflicted on them was moving. I have so much empathy for all the brave people in this documentary that knew him but were brave enough to come to see him for who he was when the facts came to light!

FBI: Most Wanted
(2020)

Went from 10 to 7 and declining.
Quit virtue signaling and cramming bs down our throat. Write some good episodes. You literally get rid of every good character you develop every few episodes. Jess was the worst loss the show took...but then you lose two of the leading male roles that we all liked as well. Stop making all your shows about all women, I want to see men lead too! Tired of all the shows only having strong women leads and acting like we don't need men! It's a team effort! Wake up and start writing good scripts again and you can have better budgets to keep the better actors that keep walking, because the show is becoming lame. You can't blame them!

Ben-Hur
(1959)

Exceptional
My favorite period piece of Jesus looking from the outside in. *********************************Love all the artistic filming of the time this was created in this relic! It's worth the 3 hours the remake didn't give it in 2016 and the simplicity of how it unfolds is beautiful! They give this film the chance to offer context to fully understand the final scenes and the powerful gift it gives. ******************************Each time I watch this movie there are new moments I notice for the first time! I love the history of the Roman's it shares and of the colosseum scenes.*******************************

The Da Vinci Code
(2006)

Offensive .....
I was so disappointed....no wonder I never finished it years ago when it came out! I have been doing a lot of studying lately on Da Vinci's art works and I remembered that they had made a movie about this years ago.. so I rented it ....mistake on multiple levels, if I was to put my faith in my Savior aside it was a very dull and slow and scattered film on many levels with horrible execution on an artistic level or even historical level alone.... now back to my faith...I found the film blasphemous on many occasions disregarding the warning of not adding or taking away from the context of the Bible. I found it irreverent and overall nonsensical! I have no doubt the secret societies existed and still exist there are documented accounts all over the place and I also believe that pious rooted from Rome and Constantine is corrupt but Jesus had no need for a wife he had a strict purpose and plan on his numbered days here before his crucifixion and this movie offended me on that topic, however every other aspect was a fail as well in my opinion overall a big flop, which could have been a great historical fiction thriller if put together better and left insulting Jesus out of it all together!

The Valhalla Murders
(2019)

Intense but Predictable
This was very good but seemed like a long Iceland law and order svu episode drawn out! It was very good but I had it figured out pretty early on and watched it unfold! The best parts were the last few episodes they picked up momentum and had you on the edge of your seat with the intense scenes. I enjoyed the two main detectives and their perspectives they brought to it as well! Loved the basic investigative style they use to solve and the use of citizens and reporters as well for accountability. Bottom line no matter how much time goes by these creepers always leave a trail behind with their arrrogance!

Pennyworth
(2019)

Total Rubbish
First 1-2 episodes were decent and artistic then bam nothing but Nazi propaganda and Occult evil...and it stayed there and stupid plots and nothingness. ***************************************Offensive and Garbage. Played off as Creative but it wasn't! Don't waste your mind, or your time! Reminded me of Peaky Blinders and how it was so pointless!****************************************Couldn't make it through another episode, not worth my time! ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Only the Brave
(2017)

Moving and Honest!
Gut wrenching, and kept you at the edge of your seat! These firefighters that died were hero's and their families sacrifice is heartbreaking! The movie did a great job of showing all the ups and downs and triggers and issues that go with the families of this type of career. Very triggering to watch!

Glassland
(2014)

Honest and Vulnerable
Such a honest peek into the struggles of loving someone with addiction so deeply that won't get out of their own way. Shows exactly how everyone writes the addict off with pity and avoidance while others swoop in to take advantage of the weak and desperate. Left to the one that loved you the most who's stuck with all the misery that goes with it!

Look Both Ways
(2022)

Loved the creativity!
Charming, and feel very good after watching! It was war, and endearing and I typically would not watch a movie like this....however it was brilliantly done showing two paths of a life you could have and how both were ok in the end...but I liked the pregnant path the best!

Hostile Territory
(2022)

Not bad!
Impressive for a low budget film. Those times were very hostile and a melting pot of ideas and cultures right after the civil war, at anytime you could be in danger and your enemy could be anyone including fear and ignorance. Overall it was a pretty good movie loosely based on a true story.

Mr. Jones
(2019)

Held nothing back!
There are cycles in History, this revelation shows them well! But no one wants to know that Stalins gold was a lie, and look what-so many want to believe now more of the same in new packaging.

The Oxford Murders
(2008)

Dull and Cold
A bit pointless and sadistic with a slant of narrow minded portrayal of the mentally ill. I didn't care for it and really had hoped it would be a great murder mystery!

Mindhunter
(2017)

Renew for a season 3
The best! Netflix cancels the good shows every time! This show was really good and had so much material and opportunities for a solid season 3. Very disappointed it didn't happen!

Skyggen i mit øje
(2021)

So sad!
Gut wrenching, and the timing is eye opening! So hard to watch, on so many levels. Well directed and the actors played their roles well! ******************************************

Zone blanche
(2017)

Could be better, but good!
Interesting, keeps you interested without really ever moving forward... by having one crime each episode distracting from the real story a little too slow or too long. Good but would be a lot better if you consolidated it and had less distractions.

Abducted in Plain Sight
(2017)

Don't waste your brain cells watching this!
I don't have anything positive to say. This situation is tragic and the parents were a part of this nonsense as well as LDS. I couldn't even get through it because of the deflection and the way it's presented is nonsense!

1883
(2021)

Great writing and Acting!
Exceptional.... Taylor Sheridan - Boring the Devil was absolutely blunt and truthful! I loved the whole season...beautifully gut wrenching and honest! Looking forward to the next!

Il processo
(2019)

Nicely done!
This movie was incredibly done, what I liked was that it was good all the way to the very last episodes last moment. Most of these drag on multiple seasons and than just get stupid and boring, don't do another season unless you plan to take down the killer and not introduce a bunch of new fluff and garbage to drag it out, just leave it right there that they figured it out!

ReWilding Kernwood
(2020)

Absolutely Impressed
I loved this...and it was beautifully put together and I love their ethic and craftsmanship.

Sweet Sunshine
(2020)

Glad I watched this one!
Great Uplifting Movie, & Some good songs! "..............

Mystery 101: Deadly History
(2021)
Episode 7, Season 1

Love this series please don't disappoint me in the next!
I gave this a 10 only because I love this series, I think they overplay her father always blocking them from connecting, not a healthy thing in a relationship at their age even though I like her close to her father and her and her father working together in the series, this one was so predictable to me...I predicted the ending and all that were involved and why they would be...this one seemed to lack the luster of the others and also the scenes to be just going through the motions regarding creativity. ...I also hated the random 11 month later cliff hanger! Please make the next one better because I want them together and this series to stay creative!

SEAL Team
(2017)

2021 Meh, one of my favorites being ruined by whining meltdowns!
Love Clay and how he stays cool headed tired of Ray and the Ray denial and constant drama meltdown scenarios getting old. Less Ray more of Clay and no more of the new guy trying to second guess all the ops and break down the dynamic of the team Like the way Jason is starting to show more self control and grow got tired of all his Fits of rage too. More ops and well oiled team doing what Seals do.

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
(1999)

Love this Show
Always one of the best! Miss lot of the retired team but I get it. I love ADA Barba, love Carise and Mariska and Ice T are a must moving forward. I also like Kelly Giddish she grew on me. The show needs more creativity in the years to come!

Chicago Fire
(2012)

Love this show
Love this show like the team and their leaders and how they lead! Keep this one going and no bringing back old love characters Dawson blah she left she can stay gone! Love Chief Boden!
