OMG: Oh My God! (2012)
Incredible movie; a humorous indictment of religiousity
This film is OUTSTANDING! While it skewers Hindu priests, it takes on all religions for their mistreatment of people. Jesus said, "If you've done it unto the least of these, you've done it to me." True religion is taking care of others and not making the religious organization rich. A must watch.
The acting is superb and the story line would work so well in the US. I hope someone remakes this in the US. I think it would be a big hit. The character of Krishna is easily seen as representing Jesus. I think the crossover message is easy to see. I won't give away the plot but you will enjoy this movie.

Waste of time UNLESS there's a sequel
First this is NOT a horror series. There are scary moments that are tense but more like Hitchcock. This is more of a SCI-FI series. The series is cast and character driven and makes little sense until you get to the 6th and 7th episodes. By that time you are determined to see what happens. When the ending comes at the end of the 8th episode you are left with "WHAT? And then what?" But you are left with either your own imagination or the expectation that perhaps there will be a sequel. But by the time a sequel comes, you will likely not care.
A big disappointment for me. There are lots better series, shows, and movies to occupy you at this time of year.
Distancia de rescate (2021)
An Environmentalist's Daydream/Nightmare
This is NOT a psychological thriller. This is NOT a scary story. This is nothing more than a story about how pesticides harm the children and at least one adult in a small, rural community. If that's what you want to see, watch it. If not, skip it.
Vivarium (2019)
Don't waste your time
I'm sure there are those who might see some deep and/or existential meaning contained within this film. Poppycock! From start to finish this film had no redeeming qualities. The acting was mediocre. There was no real plot. "Two people go in search of a home and get trapped inside a development where they are the only two living there. Eventually a child is mysteriously dropped by for them to raise. The child grows rapidly into an adult." That's it until the end which is NOT SATISFYING IN THE LEAST. I could tell you what happens but nothing really does. Do not bother with this movie.
Survive the Night (2020)
Tired plot; tired Bruce
I really like Bruce Willis. I have since Moonlighting. But he seems to be getting into low budget, mediocre flicks. No clue as to whether he just likes to work, wants to pay his taxes, or likes mentoring others. But whatever the motivation, it just isn't working. He's too good to be in such bad movies.
Breach (2020)
Worst Bruce Willis movie EVER!
Imagine an alien infects people in space; they turn into zombies; they get blown up and reconfigure into a large "Alien!" Three survivors (including Bruce) turn into Ghostbusters and shoot alcohol and cleaning fluid at the zombies and Alien to kill it. Then imagine this was shot in an amusement park ride over a long weekend. Then imagine there was no continuity editing and very little acting talent (other than Bruce). Then imagine you wasted 90 minutes watching and the most fun you had was writing a bad review. Now imagine that you will NEVER watch this movie. EVER.
The Other Man (2008)
Not worth the time
Great cast. Awful story. Horrible direction.
Spoiler alert!!!! ***************
Laura Linney is married to Liam Neeson. She has an affair with Antonio Banderas. Much of the movie focuses on Liam's obsession with locating Antonio to figure out why his wife had an affair. The problem is that we are lead to believe there will be a confrontation or some kind of resolution. Spoiler-Laura Linney's character DIED prior to Liam's obsessional behavior. Then Antonio turns out to be a pathetic loser who was bankrolled by Linney.
The story is pathetic. The characters are pathetic. The end of the story is awful. No real drama. No real story and horrible direction. Avoid wasting your time on this. There's a reason you've never heard about this movie despite the high profile actors. It is AWFUL.
