Willy Wonka Meets Hells Kitchen
9 January 2023
I bought this movie from Amazon and watched it tonight and it was surprisingly very good. The plot is horror Willy Wonka in an isolated restaurant where several wealthy people who all were invited to a lavish meal prepared by a mad chef who is sadistic and somewhat jealous of these people because of their status and his belief that they have failed and exploited him in his career. The entire movie was filled with suspense from start to finish and kept me on the edge! The violence is not too graphic but there's a lot of cussing so be prepared if you don't like bad language. I would definitely watch it again!

Powerful and Disturbing
13 August 2020
I have been researching the horrific and deadly attack in Las Vegas since right after it happened and I have watched several documentaries (all of them were obviously hard to watch) but none were as powerful and disturbing as this one. To see the faces of some of the surviving victims who were interviewed was hard to watch (I cannot imagine what these people experienced) as they spoke about their involvement in this attack (I will forever refer to it as terrorism because those people were clearly terrorized even if it was not officially a terrorist attack) and their outrage at the resort company suing them (something that was not ever done before after something like this). The brief part with the attacker's brother was interesting when he spoke about their lives and how their father was a known criminal . I'm not a major conspiracy theorist but I think they covered up what happened with Stephen Paddock. My continued sympathy lies with the families of the fallen and the surviving victims whose lives were destroyed in such a horrific and unreasonable manner.

Dolittle (2020)

Good but not great
24 January 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I saw this movie with a friend yesterday and It was funny. Some of the parts were hilarious (the dragon farting after Dr. Dolittle and the animals unclog her bowels) but overall it was just ok. Kids would enjoy it.

Mommy's Little Princess (2019 TV Movie)
10/10
Great "bad child" thriller with a happy ending
13 November 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I watched this last night because it was one of those movies with a bad/crazy child and I liked it but it wasn't like most of those movies where the kid is killed which was a twist for me. The girl Lizzy (who was adopted by a nice family after she was apparently abused by her real mother and is delusional because she thinks she is part of a German royal family) does not kill but puts both a friend and a camp counselor in the hospital. It does have a happy ending which I won't spoil. I would watch this movie again

Drew Seeley could've done better
10 November 2019
I briefly watched this with my grandmother because she had the Hallmark Channel on. I'm a fan of Drew Seeley obviously because of High School Musical and his singing so I was excited to see him in this. He could've done much better (He is married and now has a child so I get why he wasn't that good. He may be getting tired of acting and singing which I can understand) and the song that he wrote and sang for this movie was mediocre and his acting was just ok. I know this is not Mr. Seeley's Disney days and he's in his mid 30's so this was obviously a change and things can't stay the same. I wouldn't watch this movie again. At least it was something to keep me entertained

Descendants 3 (2019 TV Movie)
10/10
The BEST Disney movie since High School Musical
20 August 2019
I am completely OBSESSED with Descendants. Everything about it is just so awesome! I am obsessed over it just as I was 14 years ago with High School Musical (which is another amazing Disney movie. It's a franchise just like HSM and I have seen both Descendants 1 and 2 but I think this one is WAY BETTER. It was the opposite with HSM as I LOVED the first one but hated HSM 2 and 3. I will be getting Descendants 3 when it comes out on dvd for sure because it's so awesome. Cameron Boyce will be missed 💜😭💜

Dull and Boring
7 July 2019
I'm not a huge fan of Clint Eastwood's movies but I had to watch this with my grandfather (he's a huge Eastwood fan) because my parents got the dvd along with Gran Torino (another movie of his). This was not my cup of tea and was overall dull and boring but both my grandparents seemed to enjoy it.

Hotel Mumbai (2018)

Very Violent
28 June 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I watched this movie today and all I can say is it is very violent. Those who experienced a horrific attack or can be easily traumatized should not see this. I'm used to watching movies about real life major attacks (United 93, World Trade Center, Parkland, Patriots Day etc) and I've never seen a movie so disturbing. I had to turn it off after seeing what looked like a heavily bloodied pregnant woman screaming uncontrollably. (I later found courage to watch the rest of the movie and the woman was eventually killed or succumbed to injuries. Very sad). There is also scenes where a baby can be heard crying multiple times (given the circumstances) and it's very hard to watch. I wouldn't recommend this movie unless you can handle the violence

Hilarious
8 June 2019
I watched this movie with my grandma and grandpa yesterday and we all laughed the entire movie. This was my first time watching a Madea movie so I didn't know what to expect but this one was so funny! Tyler Perry put a hilarious spin on a very serious subject We would rent Madea's Funeral again in a heartbeat!

Adult Version Of "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"
5 June 2019
This is basically the adult version of the film "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close". The man whose entire family was killed in 9/11 has similar characteristics to the character in Extremely Loud (Autism, sensory issues and obviously PTSD) which is completely understandable given the circumstances. He is reclusive until his college friend meets with him and tries to understand his behavior and the grieving process. I won't give out any spoilers but it is as moving as Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close but this movie obviously came first and was not based off a book

The Prodigy (2019)

Not What I Thought It Was
11 March 2019
I have been wanting to see this movie since I saw the second trailer for it and it wasn't what I thought it was. I thought it was gonna be like the Exorcist because of the bathtub scene (where the boy asks his mom what's wrong with him) and because it involves a specialist who attempts an exorcism on this boy who was possessed by a foreign spirit. I liked most of it but some parts were just too much for me like when the father lashes out due to his son's disturbing and uncontrollable behavior. Overall, this was an ok movie (I usually like these types of movies with scary kids) but I wouldn't see it again

Terrible Rip Off Of Sky High
6 March 2019
This movie is a rip off of Sky High which is awesome. The acting and story were absolutely terrible and I thought it was so cheesy. Sky High is way better than this piece of trash.

Ramsey Denison's film is better
11 February 2019
I'm an independent journalist currently researching and investigating this horrific attack and I have to say that I'm very appalled at this film. I read articles that say that the director does not want to even say the guy's name which is very upsetting to me. I believe that the guy who orchestrated this attack was very very sick but was a human being who sadly could not get any help before it was too late and he terrorized so many people. The documentary by Ramsey Denison is better because it does not solely focus on the people who survived this horrific act of terror. All of those people were left in the dark without any answers and they rightfully deserve justice and closure. Continued prayers to those who are still dealing with this horrific tragedy

High School Musical Forever
23 October 2018
I remember I was obsessed with High School Musical when I was in Girl Scouts in 2007 and all of us would listen to the cd over and over. The movie is great but the all of the songs are awesome. I think Troy (Zac Efron) is so hot! I'm 19 and I still love High School Musical. This is my generation's Grease.

Rocky in a military school
11 September 2018
This movie is basically Rocky at the Naval Academy and it does not portray the school like it is in reality.

Game Over is awesome
14 August 2018
This is probably my favorite Spy Kids movie because of the bad guy who is the badass Sylvester Stallone. I think his face just on the poster is awesome and his role as the villain in the movie was brilliant. Aside from Stallone, the movie was great and it felt like I was in the game the entire time. Nobody makes movies like this anymore

Madagascar (2005)
10/10
One of my favorite animated movies
2 August 2018
I remember seeing this in the theatres when I was 6 years old with a friend of mine from elementary school and loved it. Thirteen years later, I still love it and has become one of my favorite animated movies. Dream Works always does an awesome job on their movies although Disney is my "go to" for animation. Speaking of Disney, they released a similar film called The Wild I think two years after but I still think Madagascar is the best.

What They Don't Want You to Believe
5 January 2018
I am privately investigating the Las Vegas shooting and when I saw this movie, I was startled by the way the filmmakers portray the attack. The film is mostly about police brutality and the way that the police there treat citizens. Towards the end, they talk about the night of October 1st and how local authorities have basically refuse to release any information about what exactly went down and why Stephen Paddock (the gunman) did what he did. There are questions like "Why did the hotel use a secret line instead of contacting the regular 911??" and "Why did the police keep changing the timeline??' etc. To those who are currently investigating this horrific act and the supposed "cover up", I highly recommend this film.

VERY Disturbing
3 November 2017
When I watched this film for the first time a couple years ago, I had flashbacks. This is the most disturbing movie I have ever seen in my life. I recently found out that a supposed cousin of mine had a role in it and was also the stuntman. This is why the remake (2015) went straight to DVD because it was too disturbing to be in the theatres.
