Black Bird
(2022)

Engaging
For slow burns, I feel that this one was the perfect length. 6 - one hour episodes to tell this story does not make it drawn out, and keeps the viewer engaged. In one of Ray Liotta's final projects, he did what we all expected from him, and absolutely played his role to perfection. Taron Egerton portrayed Jimmy Keene very well, as I felt that he was out of his element, taking on a different role than what he normally does. Paul Walter Hauser deserved his Golden Globe. The creepiness felt chilling, and his performance may give you nightmares. It's a very good show, and one that I would definitely recommend this show.

Jinn
(2019)

Not a typical middle eastern show.
Not about love, not a comedy, but a show with swears?! I think everyone that rated this was a Jordanian that was purposely down rating this because it digressed from what middle eastern audiences are used to.

There are swears, make out scenes, and a lot more that isn't present in typical Arabic shows. The story could have been better, translation isn't the greatest, but they were on to something. Too bad it's been down rated, I would have liked to see where this would have went.

Superbad
(2007)

Totally awesome
I'm not gonna lie; Movie previews / trailers are almost the deciding factor for me, in whether or not I even CONSIDER watching the movie. In other words, I almost didn't watch this movie due to the fact that the trailer looked stupid. I won't make this mistake again after watching this movie.

This movie was TOTALLY NOT what I expected. It's funny throughout - from front to back, beginning to end.

I recommend this movie to anyone who hasn't seen it, as well as those who have...

Perfect 10!!!

Crank
(2006)

Funny and action packed
I thought this movie had it all. Action, humor, and a little bit of sexiness. I thought that they could have gone a different way for the ending, but it was still a unique idea.

One of the main reasons for my approval, was the fact that this movie was different. It's not something that you see all the time in traditional "I have to claim revenge for what the bad guys did to me" type of film. I really liked the action sequences, I thought that this movie was choreographed really well. I didn't find any glaring weaknesses in the film, but the overall storyline was a little lacking.

Jason Statham is an amazing actor (not just in this film specifically). He can do much more that play the action hero like in the Transporter movies, and this one as well. I really liked his performance in SNATCH. I thought that his character in SNATCH was really made for him, and that nobody else could have pulled it off. I'd like to see him in movies like that more often.

One more thing that I'd like to add, is that the new "Hitman Codname:47" movie that's coming out would have been a really good role for Statham instead of Vin Diesel. Just a thought
