Jagged Mind (2023)
My quick rating - 4.6/10. I was absolutely going to delete this one, except for one thing. After it ended, I was chatting with a friend about the whole thing, so it did its job - it got us to actually ponder the whole thing, including the outcome. It does end up being a cut above a high-end Lifetime original thriller, LOL. So if that is a selling point for you, then have at it. Jagged Mind boasts an engaging premise that immediately drew me in. The film centers around Billi

Lust And Found (2015)
My quick rating - 4.9/10. For being filmed in Hong Kong, they do a fabulous job of not showing you any part of the city that makes it so unique. Amusing but very forgettable. Seems the only place to check this one out is Google Play . And Plex doesn't have it. Lust And Found (2015) #action #IMDB

American Mary (2012)
My quick rating - 6.6/10. The twisted twins , Sylvia and Jen Soska , are back with their second full-length feature. Now that people are taking notice to their talent, this time they have a budget (although they did need to take out a second mortgage to get the project off the ground). Anyway, this movie is about Mary, a brilliant med student studying to be a surgeon. Equally brilliant is the performance by Katharine Isabelle portraying Mary. Of course, money issues arise,

Little Bone Lodge (2023)
My quick rating - 5.7/10. New horror flick, so I want to check it out right away since that is what I do. This one is right on that line between horror and thriller. This film tells the tale of two brothers, criminal siblings, one critically wounded, on the run seeking refuge in an isolated and eerie farmhouse during a vicious storm. What starts off as a search for shelter rapidly develops into a thrilling tale of dark secrets and high tension. The strength of this flick lies

The Midnight Meat Train (2008)
My quick rating - 6.3/10. A photographer's obsessive pursuit of dark subject matter leads him into the path of a serial killer who stalks late-night commuters, ultimately butchering them in the most gruesome ways. I had completely forgotten Bradley Cooper was in this one. Got my hands on an unrated version, so want to check it out. There may have been a little extra added at the train's end of the line, so to speak. Other than that, it appeared as I remembered it, with my ra

The Tough Ones (1976)
My quick rating - 5.9/10. Sometimes, a simple IMDB comment like this, " Excellent Italian Police Brutality ," is enough to sucker me into watching. Since a dubbed option was available, I figured, why not? A random hunchbacked character ( Tomas Milian )? Definitely an interesting flick if you want to check out what the Italian crime movie scene was like in the mid-1970s. Just some really bizarre scenes in this, such as Milian hijacking an ambulance and then killing everyone o

Cannibal Cabin (2022)
My quick rating - 2.6/10. I have to assume I am in for a winner!! At least the tagline is funny, "You are what they eat," and again, "loosely based on true events." This is a good example of a movie trailer not only summing up the entire movie but also overselling it. You can clearly see the budget restraints during that, but you really get smacked in the face with their lack of funding while watching it. Assuming they did something creative with it, money would make no diffe

The Angry Black Girl And Her Monster (2023)
My quick rating - 5.3/10. I really don't think a movie title has been so spot on as a description of a movie. The Angry Black Girl And Her Monster offers an interesting premise that manages to hook viewers from the very beginning. The title of this movie is quite fitting as it sums up what this movie is all about, which is no less than an interesting journey of how a very smart teenager named Vicaria, played exquisitely by actress Laya DeLeon Hayes, sets out on a journey to

The Devil Comes At Night (2023)
My quick rating - 4.3/10. The Devil Comes at Night is one of those films that sounds like it should work better than it does. On paper, the blend of thriller and horror elements looks promising. In practice, it mostly spins its wheels and never finds a strong identity of its own. Directed by Scott Leaver , the film follows Ben, a washed-up boxer returning to his deceased father’s farmhouse in search of an inheritance. After a fight leaves him waking up inside the house, it
