My quick rating - 7.0/10. You can always tell when work pops up. This was the first time I had ever seen her do a comedy set. She is pretty damn funny, to be honest. She sounds off on parenting with her French wife, the perils of public bathrooms, and why she's tired of going high when others go low. Good for an hour's worth of entertainment that won't take any form of mental strain to enjoy. As you can tell, Netflix is where to check this one out. Wanda Sykes I'm An Enterta

My quick rating - 3.3/10. All I know is "Mackenzie takes a job babysitting for a lonely young girl named Peyton, only to find out that something sinister may be happening in her home." It is really distracting when they hire actresses who look the same age to play various stages of adulthood. Between the mother and babysitter, Ariella Mossey , there couldn't be more than a couple of years between them. I felt like I was watching a school project the entire time at all levels

My quick rating - 7.8/10. Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling team up in an unlikely crime/mystery film that just works. The characters are acted out just the way they should be, which is often rare in buddy flicks. Crowe plays the heavy while Gosling plays the heavy drinker. They get paired up when Gosling is a Private detective working a case that Crowe inadvertently gets roped into. The two, of course, have no interest in working together, which adds to the comedy. This m

My quick rating - 6.5/10. I admittedly did NOT see the series when it was on the same streamer, so I am sure I will miss some of the nuances. Great sets and scenes. I can see that missing 5 seasons is leaving me a bit behind in the story as to why these wars are going on between these kings. But the battle scenes look well-choreographed and bloody. I am not sure if the lack of background from the show was the problem or the fact that things seemed to jump so quickly during th

My quick rating - 4.1/10. I see they are pulling a bit of star power by getting Adrienne Barbeau in this one. This one runs for a good hour+ where you are watching a well-acted drama about the relationship between two neighboring farm families being strained when one of them chooses to lease their land to an oil and gas company. I had to check back and make sure I was watching the right movie since it was not fitting the role of "horror" at all and was doing quite well in th

My quick rating - 3.6/10. Appears to be another STV action flick starring Dolph Lundgren , which may or may not be a good thing depending on who you ask. Looks as though he and the rest of the wedding party are going to have to defend a group of mercenaries taking over the venue where Luke Wilson and Nicky Whelan are getting hitched. The initial lead-up to the siege is basically just showing the best man and the groom's best friend getting drunk, so the setup isn't all that

My quick rating - 3.2/10. Let's see if my streak of horror flick deletions continues. Aj and his brother revisit the spot where their parents were killed. But legend has it that there is something mysterious roaming these woods. I wonder how they found such a group of unlikeable characters and put them all in the same movie? I am having a hard time choosing which one of these morons I want to die first. Good news, though, since they are all having sex right off the bat on the

My quick rating - 7.0/10. A chaotic intervention. An action-packed stay in rehab. After a weird couple of years, John Mulaney comes out swinging in his return to the stage. I enjoyed his style of presentation. A very matter-of-fact way of talking about his previous issues and making light of them. Pretty funny stuff. Currently streaming on Netflix John Mulaney: Baby J (2023) #comedy #IMDB #Plex

My quick rating - 6.0/10. This worked perfectly fine for the background as I did a motherboard swap. I had a few decent laughs, but nothing I would revisit. Good enough for a listen, though. He hit a couple of topics, including love languages, loser friends, and negotiating with his Asian parents. Currently streaming on Amazon Jimmy O. Yang: Guess How Much? (2023) #comedy #IMDB #Plex

My quick rating - 2.1/10. Antigone Corday ( Betsey Brown ) is an aspiring social media influencer. She is mourning the recent death of her brother, Jeremiah, a well-known pundit and voice for progressive causes. Soon, she receives a mysterious package in the mail--a pre-recorded video of Jeremiah. He claims to have uncovered a conspiracy that will throw her worldview, and the fate of the planet, into question. The budget in this one is clear the moment it gets rolling, and i

My quick rating - 6.5/10. Having grown sick and tired of his centuries as Dracula's lackey, Renfield finds a new lease on life — and maybe even redemption — when he falls for feisty, perennially angry traffic cop Rebecca Quincy. I am so glad they didn't soften this one up to get a PG rating. Chris McKay , behind the camera, made sure to use the blood in abundance to make sure all the kills were definite. Nicolas Cage playing Dracula was perfectly cast and quite amusing, al

My quick rating - 6.5/10. This one popped on Radarr, and I cannot for the life of me place it, which I should be able to since this was at the time I was working at West Coast Video. I do like how it mentions "from the director of Pitch Black , " David Twohy , considering that movie came out nearly a decade after this LOL. I am surprised I have never heard of this movie. Quite good for the time. It didn't need flashy effects to tell a solid time travel story. Nice to see Jeff

My quick rating - 3.9/10. Going in blind on this one, but this flick is an Australian horror film that takes a group of friends on a terrifying journey into an abandoned house. Unfortunately, despite some promising ideas, the film falls short in execution, ultimately delivering a disappointing experience. One of the film's major drawbacks is the characters' consistently bad decision-making. It's frustrating to watch as they make one poor choice after another, which ultimately

My quick rating - 5.1/10. I had completely forgotten about this flick. Wonder if it stood the test of time. A slew of '80s horror popped on Radarr, so why not check some of them out? It opened up with a song by Lizzy Borden , which I actually remembered straight away LOL. Although the band playing it was covered in some really poor makeup, not looking glam rock, but more like some form of undead creature. This scene with the two teens on the streets plays out like it is goin

My quick rating - 5.8/10. A depressed millennial discovers that the world she knows is just a simulated version of reality that is being shut down. Suddenly, she's the only one who wants to stick around. The movie is sci-fi only in its premise; there is no actual budget here, so no spaceships or effects. That isn't a bad thing since I like the whole idea of this flick, I just wish they had done much more with it. Ashley Hutchinson does a nice job as the central character (S

My quick rating - 6.8/10. Behold the fear of the dark. Many people have it and will identify with that. I assume not so many have had to deal with this level of phobia. The setup is introduced quickly, so my telling you a spirit that only appears in the dark and vanishes in the light is no spoiler. Just that this particular ghost kills anyone who threatens her. With that being said, the stage is set to scare the crap out of the viewer at any given moment, making an 81-minute

My quick rating - 7.5/10. Looks pretty good, and had to go with 4K for it. And definitely warranted, as there is some breathtaking scenery in this one. The combination of real locations and CGI landscapes creates a visually immersive experience that transports the audience into a vibrant and magical realm. The attention to detail in the production design is commendable, adding depth and authenticity to the world in which the characters exist. That was an enjoyable adventure f

My quick rating - 4.9/10. I have never heard of this one, but it sounded interesting and popped up on Radarr. "A group of horror fans find themselves unwilling participants in a nightmarish role-playing game that pays homage to a classic horror film." Even if it is only for a cameo spot, it is great to see Sid Haig . It is over-the-top unbelievable in execution, but if you can get past that, it is actually quite fun. Justwatch has a few streamers, including Amazon . Mimesis

My quick rating - 7.6/10. Actually got a run of work, so thought I'd pop on a new stand-up show. The comedian Nate Bargatze , the self-proclaimed "Nicest Man in Stand-Up," brings his signature affability and good-natured aw-shucks vibe to his third special (this time on Amazon ; the previous two are on Netflix ), which stands out among the darker, more confessional, and more cynical stand-up of our moment. He admits that most of his information about the world “does not c
