Stir of Echoes (1999)
Stir Of Echoes Still Stirs Chills Today!
One of the haunting films of that time that didn't get the recognition or marketing that it deserved because of The 6th Sense starring Bruce Willis! Hollywood decided that The 6th Sense was there so called haunting ghost hit of the year, so, Stir of Echoes was kind of the forgotten low budget film put on the back burner. Big mistake! In my opinion, Stir of Echoes was much more chilling & left more of an impression. Kevin Bacon did an excellent job with his character. The movie was bone chilling & the ending was phenomenal. Had Hollywood put as much effort into marketing this one as they did The 6th Sense, they probably would had reached just as much of an audience with just as good of ratings. Crazy how Bruce Willis had 2 copycat movies in back to back years. Stir of Echoes after The 6th Sense in 99 and Deep Impact after Armageddon in 98. Armageddon was definitely much better than Deep Impact but not the truth with 6th Sence and Stir of Echoes.
Skyline (2010)
Extremely unique, alien flick
I'm not sure why so many are given this a bad rating. I've always loved alien movies, but many of them have become extremely cliché. It seems to me the average person is waiting for a hero to show up and save the day, but in the real world if something like this did happen, I highly doubt most people would survive. The special effects were Really good and the acting wasn't that bad. With what they had to work with, they did a really good job with this project. If you like alien movies and you're a sci-fi person or at least can stand sci-fi. I suggest to give it a try and not go by all of these IMDb reviews.
Tell Me Your Secrets (2021)
Intense Series With A Great Story That Needs To Be Continued!
I stumbled across this series while I was searching for something new to watch on Amazon & thought the description of the story sounded interesting, so, my wife & I decided to give it a whirl & once we started, we couldn't seem to stop watching it. The acting was surprisingly good and the story was even better. There are some pretty intense scenes & even more surprising twists. They did a great job explaining the story as it went on, keeping the audience interested & craving to know more. Once everything starts unfolding, you get a better understanding of each characters secrets but you never really know for sure who's actually hiding what. I'm typically a tough critic when it comes to movies & shows but this one was right up my alley. What a great series. I highly recommend more people give this show a watch. It didn't get much publicity when it came out but it should had. The ending definitely leaves it open for opportunity to bring a 2nd season & I'm confident that the more people that watch season 1, the more requests Amazon will get to bring in a season 2.
Squealer (2023)
Had me Squaling for Wasting an hour and forty minutes of my life watching this garbage!
What a horrible movie. The acting was horrid & the story was cheesy. The only parts of this movie that had any meat to it were the bloody gore scenes. I'm almost shocked that Tyrese Gibson had any part in this movie. Not saying Tyrese Gibsson's a great actor but he makes the rest of these people in this movie look like amateur high school drama students. It'll definitely have you squealing for wasting 1 1/2 hrs of your life watching this hot garbage! I did see this movie from beginning to end out of curiosity to what was going to happen but it literally took me a week turning it off & back on resuming where I left off because I couldn't stand watching it for any more than 15 to 20 minute durations.
Krampus (2015)
A Funny, Frightening & Unique Christmas Classic!
I wasn't sure going into this movie but decided to give it a full watch and I'm glad that I did! This movie is far from the typical cliche Christmas movie. Mixed with some humor & terror. If you like Christmas, horror & comedy all in one than you'll really enjoy this one. The writer really did a great job putting this one together. No, it's not like it's Oscar worthy but it's definitely one of those movies you could find yourself watching over & over again every Christmas season. This one gave me a bit of the chills and caught me off guard quite a few times & the ending definitely left me thinking about it well after it ended. Highly recommend you give it a watch.
The Nun II (2023)
No Nunsense! This one is better than the first!
My love for The Conjuring films is what lead me to watch the first Nun movie. Getting to know & understand the characters behind the stories of other movies can be rather interesting. Unfortunately, the story & the acting lacked a bit in that one. Definitely wasn't a movie that I would care to watch numerous times but still just enough to keep me interested in the sequel. I went into this movie not expecting too much differently but as it kept going I found myself more & more interested. This one was definitely better than the first. It starts off slow but it really starts heating up from the halfway point on. The slow beginning is still interesting enough & helps build the story. Like I stated before. If you liked the first Nun then there's No reason you shouldn't like this one!
Meg 2: The Trench (2023)
Hollywood throwing Hot Garbage into the Ocean!
If you enjoyed the original Meg movie than I highly suggest you Don't watch this one. What an awful sequel! Hollywood at its best! Taking advantage of a successful movie only to throw a sequel together in half the time and an awful script! If it's not broke don't fix it! People liked the first one because of the Meg. Not some cheesy action film with prehistoric creatures & bad acting! I'm shocked that Jason Stratham even agreed to lead the role in this one. If it were me, as soon as I saw that script I would had put in in my bathroom and used it as toilet paper! Wouldn't expect anything less from these out of touch morons in Hollywood!
This Is the End (2013)
Probably A Great Comedy For Dumb People!
The idea of the actors playing as themselves was a creative thought so that's why I can't give it a 1 but these guys are either really this dumb in real life or they have absolutely No idea what the average person thinks is funny. I guess if someone goes into this movie knowing what to expect that's one thing but in my opinion this movie was definitely not for serious movie goers. More of a stupid or perverted audience! It boggles my mind to see that it has an overall rating over 6. These guys must have a huge following of friend and family fluffing these ratings because if this percentage of people really believe this was that decent of a movie than This is the End. The End of a smart society.
Tell Me a Story (2018)
Good Show But Too Much Of Hollywoods Attempt Of Manipulating Politically
This is a pretty good show with great storylines but when will Hollywood get the fact that most Americans aren't buying into their lies & manipulating of politics! Hollywood has become an armpit for the Left & it's really starting to push a lot of us the wrong way. It's almost impossible to watch anything today without Hollywood elites attempting to brainwash their ideologies to all of their viewers. Most of these Hollywood Directors, Writers and Actors live in their bubbles with all the other Hollywood Elites of which none of them have a clue to what the average American thinks or how they live. They are so out of touch with real America! They think they can still manipulate viewers to believe the left are the good guys and the right are the bad guys when in fact, the left is even more corrupt & evil than the right but let's not even get into it anymore. We know the left controls 90% of Hollywood, Mainstream Media & our educational system! Politics do not belong in Hollywood At all! The bias needs to stop! We the people watch your movies & shows to get away from our every day lives and to entertain ourselves! We don't need Hollywood elites conniving, manipulating & brainwashing their viewers anymore! Stop with the politics.
Halloween Ends (2022)
What Happened? Seriously? Hollywood is getting dumber & dumber!
I'm a huge fan of Michael Meyers & just about every Halloween film since the 1970's except this one. Even Halloween Kills lost me a bit but I think I understand the concept. At least I thought I did. What in the heck is going on? Was this an actual joke done by Hollywood just to mock & make fun of the true Halloween horror fans or is Hollywood just getting dumber & dumber? We all know Hollywood has lost it & have a few screws left these days but this film was disrespectful to most of us. It insults outlets intelligence! Don't even waste your time with this hot garbage. It truly has nothing to do with the Halloween story or Michael Meyers. They've ruined Halloween officially!
Jeepers Creepers: Reborn (2022)
Jeepers Sleepers! Hollywood Is Getting Dumber & Dumber!
What a horrible movie! How Does Hollywood Live With Themselves Anymore? Society is getting dumber & dumber! How could this movie even be allowed? Seriously? You would think after success in the first two Creepers Movies after butchering the 3rd that they would take their time to bring it back with some dignity! Nope. Don't even waste your time watching this Hot Garbage! Horrible acting, horrible plot & horribly everything else. This is really sad too because the 1st two Jeepers Creepers were actually pretty good. They had a good story line and intense acting. The sad thing was they made the ending of the 2nd one extremely interactive with the old man waiting for it to come back to life. Made you excited about the 3rd film only to extremely disappoint! Then they have their chance to try again and they make it even worse! Don't waste your time!
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)
As soon as it started with CNN & another political nut advocating Climate Change I knew it was going to be hot garbage!
I enjoyed Knives Out so much and really looked so forward to seeing this then Boom! Right out the gate, the Hollywood coo coos had to throw their political ideologies in our faces with Climate Change and even worse, CNN. I should had turned the show off right then but for some reason decided to go through with it a little longer. Is it just me or does it seem that Hollywood & Society is getting dumber by the day? What a horrible waste of my time and to be honest, I'm willing to bet everything I have that the high ratings were fabricated just to get people to tune in. What an awful movie. It seems like they put this thing together with crayon in an elementary school. The movie is extremely slow & the story lacks character. So sick of these cheesy movies. What happened to the good old days and why is it almost every single movie put together in Hollywood has to incorporate CNN into their television sets? Why can't it be a made up network? Then again it makes sense. A fictional world using its fictional news network. Hey Hollywood! Wake Up! People aren't buying into your manipulation anymore!
13 Minutes (2021)
Out Of Touch Hollywood Actors Ruin Another One! So Sad!
I've always loved Catastrophic Weather movies since I was a kid & I am absolutely fascinated by storms and what they can do so, I definitely looked forward to giving this one a try. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed. Don't get me wrong. The suspense of the storm, the story & the filmography was decent but turning what could be a really good movie into a political agenda ruins everything! Hollywood is so out of touch with the real world and they're only getting more and more pathetic trying to push their ideologies through entertainment. They use entertainment, movies & the news to manipulate a world that they want to exist & a world that they want to create only to divide the rest of us. They paint this picture of how they want you to believe certain people are when these types of people rarely even exist today & the ones that still do is such a small percentage. It's painfully obvious that one side of our government has their hands wrapped around Hollywood to connive as many as they can. Then again, do you really think most of these actors, directors & producers are in touch with real reality? Do you really think they go through the every day pains of true Americans who punch in & out every day to provide for their families. Do you think they really suffer from high gas prices, food, etc.? Stop buying into their pathetic ideology people!
In the Shadow of the Moon (2019)
Another Left Wing Attempt To Brainwash Americans!
This movie had no basis to it! Only another sick and twisted political agenda and unfortunately for many years I myself was one of those people who supported the left and bought the crap that I saw in movies and on television. Really Hollywood? When will you finally wake up and realize that Americans aren't falling for your political propaganda and attempts to brainwash others to your sick ideas! Every single day more and more Americans are realizing the left is evil, manipulative, conniving and power driven! More of us are realizing that if we don't vote to the right we will lose this great country! Pretty soon the only votes the left will have will be media and Hollywood! That's it! Hollywood better stop putting politics into movies or they will learn the hard way!
Good Boys (2019)
Typical Hollywood Liberal's Sense Of Humor!!!
First off. It would had been a better movie had they put actors in their late teens. I understand that many 12 year old kids these days have dirty mouths and think about sex. I know I did but there is a time and a place for it and on the big screen is definitely not the place for it. Maybe it is ok to some parents to have their children behave this way but it's not fair to those who don't and it's definitely not fair to the children this age to be influenced by Hollywood to what's right and wrong or ok and not ok. Typical Liberal Hollywood. Trust me. I'm not meaning to be political but we all know that 90% of Hollywood is to the far liberal left and they have been showing their true colors these past few years. This coming from someone who supported that side for the last 35 years. The garbage in the media and the garbage in Hollywood is ruining our society!
Angel Has Fallen (2019)
THIS SEQUEL WAS A MASTERPIECE!!!!
From Olympus to London to the masterpiece of the Fallen series!!! Gerard Butler displays a powerful performance in this action packed movie! Great story and even greater cinematography! If you have followed the first two fallen movies than I highly recommend you watch this one!
Bullet to the Head (2012)
A Uniquely filmed Action Movie with a good story!
I'm a big fan of my classic 80's action heroes like Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Van Damm, Seagal, etc... but it seems only Sly and Arnold can still pull it off 30 years later! I didn't give this movie a chance when it first came out. It sat on the shelves for a few years because of my obsession of reading user reviews to nearly every movie before I watch it. Big Mistake on my part. I need to stop doing that. This movie was scheduled to be on one of my premium cable channels so I decided "Why The Hell Not" and I'm glad I did. The filming was extremely unique, the acting was good and the movie had a good plot. If you like action movies and you're a fan of Sly like I am than I recommend you give this one a chance.
Mary Poppins Returns (2018)
If you liked the original you'll love Mary Poppins Returns!
You will not be disappointed if you're a fan of Mary Poppins. Emily Blunt is absolutely perfect! The story, the choreography and the music is great!
The Mule (2018)
Another Great Eastwood Film!
Highly recommend this movie! If you like Clint Eastwood films you definitely won't be disappointed! If you do t care for Eastwood you still won't be disappointed! Great Story, Great Acting and Great Ending!
The Predator (2018)
Predator is Ruined! How is this even allowed in Hollywood!
I've had the IMDB app pretty much since the beginning of its existence and this movie was so bad that it forced me to give first review. I was born in 79 and I fell in love with Predator the first time I watched it. Probably seen it 100 times and still love it! Predator 2 was at least ok thanks to Danny Glover and Gary Busey but could had been written better. Then the introduction to Predator and Alien at least gave a story but this new version is ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!!!! Hollywood should be ashamed of themselves for even allowing it to make the screen!! You would think they would have a little respect for the Predator franchise! How hard would it had been to offer Schwarzenegger enough $$$ to be a part of a comeback? Maybe he's an older retired mercenarie who is begged to come back to the jungle and help rescue a team! Anything but what they gave us with this! What happened to good directors and respect in franchises!!! Thanks for ruining The Predator you idiots!!! Don't waste your time with this crap!
