The Consultant (2023)
Bentley Little brought to the big screen
I absolutely love this show. If you are an avid reader of Bentley Little books you will love watching this. For those who have not read his books they may not understand the point. He is an unusual writer who takes normal things and turns the into bizaare sinister situations that can take any turn. He is on the level of Stephen King however I do like his writings better in lot of ways. It was really nice to finally see one of his novels become a series. I hope that more of his books will become series. Such a joy to experience the mind of Little in a superb take on The Consultant. Highly recommend.
The Last Man on Earth (2015)
Most annoying series ever!
I tried to get into it and at first it was great but after a few episodes it just becomes irritating to watch. Not only does the protagonist become annoying but his wife makes me want to strangle her. If I was the last man on earth I would have packed up and left in the middle of the night to a new town leaving them all behind to fend for themselves. Seriously its the most uncomfortable series Ive ever tried to watch. I was expecting so much more because it started out really hopeful but once that first woman showed up I could feel that side that wants to do bad things, I am glad they did not waste money keeping this alive because I cant even get through the first season.
Violent Night (2022)
Awesome Movie!
When I first saw this as a new release I figured it was just some typical B rated Christmas horror movie. Oh how was I wrong. Turns out Santa is an 1100 year old Viking Warrior who somehow became Chris Cringle. What is cooler than that? Not only was is action packed, it was funny and inspiring. They managed to take all the elements of a great film and mash it together and it it works. I have to say this is now one of my new favorite Christmas movies. Will be adding it to the list of movies I watch every year during the holiday season. A true gem of a flick and I highly recommend it. Hope they consider doing a sequel.
Between Worlds (2018)
Plot is rushed and missing key elements
I watched this despite the low rating and I will say I enjoyed it but the issue I found was not that the story was bad or the acting as both was good. The problem was the story felt rushed and left out what could have been an more in depth experience. It was an interesting concept and I found all the actors played their parts well but what could have been a really good thriller fell short. Nicholas Cage is and will be one of my favorite actors despite the ridicule he gets. I feel people bash him for the wrong reasons. If the script is lacking an actor can only do so much to take a low budget movie and make it good.
Mandy (2018)
This is a movie if you are on psychedelics
I do not know where to begin. It is not a typical horror movie by any means. More like a discombobulated mess. I am not saying it is a terrible movie because for what it is its not bad but its definitely an acid trip through most of it. Outside of the crazy cult that kills the protagonists wife and acting out revenge, there is nothing else remotely close to a typical horror movie. It reminds me more of something along the lines of heavy metal mixed with straight up horror. I cannot say I particularly enjoyed it but I do not hate it. It is not a movie I was expecting nor wanted to watch but nonetheless its anything but normal. I suppose it will create a cult following (non pun intended) but I cant really say Id recommend it if you want to watch a regular movie. If you want bizarre and crazy with elements that make absolutely no sense then this is up your alley.
I am not familiar with the director but I would like to see other movies they have made just for the sheer weirdness.
Spirited (2022)
Surprisingly good
I rarely leave reviews for movies and I am not a fan of musicals but I do have to say this was quite enjoyable. I had no idea what this movie was about or the fact it was a musical so when they singing and dancing begun I was skeptical. What really made me like it was the refreshingly good message they put into it. With so much negativity in the world today and so many movies just not delivering anything of real value this was a nice surprise. Will Farrell and Ryan Reynolds was great as always and they added a real nice touch of adult humor in it. I actually laughed at times something I did not expect from a movie like this. If you like wholesome with a touch of adult comedy and dont mind musicals this may be for you.
Bad Frank (2017)
Eerily realistic
For a low budget film I was quite impressed. What struck me the most is I have known people like Frank. It creeped me out because this movie reflects reality more than many people realize. The story itself not so much but the personality and sheer aggression of Frank is something I have seen and it is not pretty. It struck a chord in me me more than others. It is how aggressive and yet calm and collective Frank gets after exploding in rage. Kevin Interdenato did a fantastic job portraying the character. I highly recommend this movie for anyone who likes low budget films. I am not sure why some gave it such a low rating it was far better than I expected.
Mr. Robot (2015)
Absolutely Genius
For those that hate this show simply do not understand the complexity of it. If you really pay attention and have an IQ over 90 you may just understand this show.
