My quick rating - 4.5/10. The narrator sounds like he really has to go to the bathroom throughout the whole documentary. Just wasn't a very well-made documentary. There didn't seem to be any information or interviews from anyone who was actually involved in the case. I didn't get any feel for the legal side of things going on, and when they did want to give those details, it was text only to read. Pretty disappointing stuff. Only a few streamers are carrying this one with ad

My quick rating - 7.2/10. This one sounds familiar, and if it is the one I am thinking of, I know it is good stuff. Yes, this definitely was the flick I was thinking of. The film does a great job of giving solid action that is choreographed very well, along with laying down a political commentary to back it up. The cast was solid top to bottom, with no single person standing out, so why not name the main players? The movie begins with an attack on a foreign compound in Riyadh

My quick rating - 6.3/10. Polite Society is a light-hearted and entertaining flick that follows the journey of Ria Khan ( Priya Kansara ), a martial artist in the making, as she embarks on a mission to bail out her elder sister Lena from an arranged wedding. Together with the help of her friends, Ria decides to plan a wedding heist, which stems from her own need for experiences in independence and sisterhood. Although the movie has its light-hearted and lovable instances and

My quick rating - 4.6/10. Let's see what Bec picks for us tonight. It doesn't take long before you have plenty of reasons to hope Jess, played by Dani Barker , is the first to be killed. I felt like all they did was rip off Black Mirror (not sure if they did it directly or not), but it definitely had the earlier seasons' vibe to it. Barker runs a video log cam site where she makes money by what appears to be faking things for her viewers, such as S&M shows or something alon

My quick rating - 3.9/10. I have always been a fan of Rutger Hauer , but I don't believe I have ever seen this one. I see that Albert Pyun directed this one, whom I have been a fan of ever since the criminally underrated Nemesis . Granted, he loves to churn out STV mediocre stuff often, but he still has a style that I cannot put my finger on. Unique in some way and always focused on the whole cyborg/robot thing. This time his apocalyptic world consists of only the androids r

My quick rating - 4.3/10. New horror, about all I know. A quick look at my database tells me it is Australian, and James Skinford ( Joshua Brennan ) plans to steal and flip a mystery truck to make some money and save his sick father, but his plans are thrown into chaos when he meets a woman with an immortal touch. It felt more like a movie just full of ideas and no real storyline. My fiancé was quick to point out that Charlotte Best , who is our damsel in NO distress since

My quick rating - 7.0/10. Not really going to write a review. I find this stuff fascinating, so I am always up for checking them out. There are some incredible discoveries made yet again by the Egyptian Indiana Jones, Zahi Hawass . The only thing keeping it down a bit for me is the amount of conceptualizing done about the new pyramid. Nothing bad, I just feel like these specials do this on purpose to bring you back for more, you know, a cliffhanger LOL. But if interested at a

My quick rating - 3.8/10. Getting to this one finally, since I shut it off a couple of years ago. It does start off with an exceptionally lazy setup, so put your reading glasses on. A terrifying infection is released, and one family will fight to save their children against a band of marauders, hellbent on revenge in the midst of a deadly apocalypse. A lot of really stupid decisions are made by the people who are supposed to be the survivors, which are only done to make a mov

My quick rating - 5.0/10. All I could think of as I was watching this movie was that I had already seen it, but only by the story, since the actors didn't at all look familiar. It was driving me crazy, but I realized this is a remake of Last Shift , and all I can conclude is the director, Anthony DiBlasi , did so just to get some cast diversity since Jessica Loren ( Jessica Sula ) is a black woman this time. Pretty dumb reason to redo a flick. Hopefully, you read the previou

My quick rating - 6.3/10. Another surprise low-budget horror film that shows the amount of money you put in doesn't have to define the end product. The movie itself starts out simple (yet obvious) enough with a rookie officer, Loren (Juliana Harkavy), pulling last shift duty on a closing precinct. I use that word since the premise is awfully similar to "Assault on Precinct 13". Anyway, that being said, the story similarities end there. I did catch a few camera shots and setup

My quick rating - 6.3/10. Great soundtrack so far. The Pope's Exorcist is a supernatural thriller that follows the journey of Gabriele Amorth , portrayed by Russell Crowe . He plays the role of the Vatican's top exorcist. This is such an intriguing way to take an already good movie and add it to the mix of the conspiracy that has been hidden by the Vatican for so long. Above-average acting in the movie, along with the amazing soundtrack that I pointed out immediately, the mo

My quick rating - 7.6/10. I recently acquired a remastered edition of this classic flick out of Hong Kong that put Chow Yun-Fat on the map as the premier action star of Asia. I doubt my rating will change much. This one is a bit more dramatic than his offerings that immediately followed and earned him his cult following, namely The Killer and the absolute masterpiece Hard Boiled . Basically, anytime John Woo and Chow Yun-Fat teamed up, they made memorable flix that are st

My quick rating - 2.3/10. I have had this flick for quite some time, just taking up space. Well, Bec did a blind pick of this one, so we'll see how it is. I did notice that Kane Hodder is in this one, so I'll assume he takes the killer role. I don't believe I have ever seen a slasher flick that has gone so far out of its way to cover up the women's boobs so blatantly. At least 2 of the 3 main chicks here were very clear about not showing those nipples, that is for sure. And

My quick rating - 5.1/10. I’ve always been a fan of City of the Living Dead  (aka Gates of Hell), so it’s no surprise that Nightmare City  (aka City of the Walking Dead) ended up on my radar, especially given how often the two are compared. On the surface of things, of course, this appears to be simply another gloriously bonkers zombie flick from that great nation of Italy. An airplane is irradiated en route, lands for reasons that are unclear, and out come the bloodthirsty u

My quick rating - 4.9/10. This film explores the dark but rather eerie aspect that involves two adopted brothers, Tin and Tina, who look rather strangely dark and are raised in an ultra-Catholic manner, making them literally interpret the Holy Bible. Though the film was indeed very engrossing because of its unique storyline and dark environment, it can, however, be deficient in a number of key areas, ultimately giving the viewer a rather mixed bag. First, the fact that the fi

My quick rating - 6.8/10. I was a tremendous young fan of Mork & Mindy growing up, so I am interested in this story. Chris Diamantopoulos does a very nice job playing an extremely complex character in Robin Williams . When it started, I was quite leery of knowing this wasn't going to be just stock footage and loads of interviews in a documentary, but instead a biopic telling a comedic tale of drama about the show's inception and how it was made. Being somewhat picky, I didn

My quick rating - 3.8/10. These keep popping up on Radarr, the latest being number 7, and they have decent ratings on IMDB . I happen to have this one already, so I am going to find out just what it is. It appears we have another "ghost hunter" flick, and this guy, Turner Clay , thinks he is FAR more popular than he is. I can see this is the mockumentary type with a made-up story, which he has a good handle on, creating a believable-looking flick. I know one thing: I'll at le

My quick rating - 7.6/10. The Covenant seems to be a very realistic war flick that drops us in the middle of the very unpleasant experience that is war. This particular war is raging in the country of Afghanistan. This film is directed by Guy Ritchie , which seems like an unusual choice, given the fact that he usually deals with fast-paced, highly action-packed films that involve gangsters. It follows Ahmed, a local interpreter played by Dar Salim , and U.S. Army Sergeant Jo

My quick rating - 3.3/10. Call it morbid curiosity. Oh, wow, these effects are horrible. Do these people know standing across the street from a tornado isn't exactly considered a safe distance? This flick is already insanely laughable, so I really hope they weren't shooting for a serious flick. A sightseeing group, along with a scientist, goes to check out a tornado that seems to just hang out in one place. Then one guy flies his drone into it and supposedly alters the size o

My quick rating - 6.4/10. The game development process. What goes into it? What are the stresses that one may endure? This documentary takes a fairly in-depth look at the lives of 3 particular games being developed, and the personal lives of those creating them (Fez, Super Meat Boy, and Braid). Focusing more on the positive and negative aspects of how the process affects the people involved is what draws you in. There is no acting, action, etc., just the real-life drama that
