Remy Ma
27 November 2023
Remy Ma narrating this is just weird. It's almost like she's ad-libbing the story. Just coming all in random. The stories are alright. I get it, they want to cover true crime from a "hood" point of view but, they could have made the stories a little more personal without Remy adding an ad lib. You see how their environment impacted their decisions.

I also get that the narration is trying to make it seem as if the decisions these people were making have some form of innocence to them. People make their own decisions and no one in any of these episodes is innocent. We can sympathize with their story without making it seem like someone was in the wrong for turning them in.

Prehistoric Planet (2022–2023)
8/10
Beautiful Cinematography
30 May 2023
I rated an 8 because the cinematography is absolutely stunning. I just couldn't get into it. Maybe something to watch at night before bed. Love David Attenborough though. I would definitely recommend to those who love dinosaurs. I thought it was going to be something different.

Granted I watched the first episode about coasts and it just wasn't engaging enough. I thought it was going to be more of a learning experience since I don't know much about dinosaurs, but was more of a walk through of what the dinosaurs were actually doing in the show. Which wasn't what I was actually looking for... but would recommend to those who like dinosaurs.

Unsealed: Alien Files (2012–2015)

What?!
10 August 2022
I just caught a glimpse and it was fantastical conspiracy theories. A weird show. Who really thinks the Egyptians were aliens? This show is for entertainment, not facts.

Dramatic

I watched the episode on voodoo. First of all, he kept talking during the ritual. That was super annoying. He also over dramatize the episode. It was bad.

Beautiful Documentary
7 July 2022
I love the way they also showed what Indigenous people are facing and how the land is at risk by greed.

Their journey was absolutely beautiful. Kind of scary at times as they were really close to the edge.

I didn't realize the Grand Canyon was so beautiful!

No Place Like Home (1989 TV Movie)
9/10
Classic Reality
7 November 2021
I remember seeing this with my mom when I was little and we would sit and watch Sunday and Tuesday night made-for-TV movies. A fond memory of my childhood. This one has always stuck with me because a few years later, we would end up homeless. Also, because it was a special time with my mom as a child who passed away. I have always thought about this movie and glad I was able to find it on Paramount. A sober reality for many.

Amazing!

I thought this was just going go be your typical documentary by the ratings. It is so much more than that! It is about the struggle and finding the strength to overcome challenges and obstacles. The fact that Emmanuel was forward thinking to start recording his family is AMAZING. It is a blast from the past for those of us that came of age during the late 90s and early 2000s. Left me in tears.

Filmmaker is so rude!

I rarely write reviews, but I had too. I wanted to give this a chance because she's the daughter of Nancy Pelosi. She's horrible. Asking degrading questions. One part, a little Hispanic boy is dancing and she asks are those gang signs. Why would you ask a little kid that? Just demeaning. Asked another little girl, why was she embarrassed to sleep in the bushes. Why do you think she's embarrassed??? It's plain insensitive and exploitative. I literally couldn't finish it. Missed a great opportunity to highlight such an important topic.

I'm An African American And.....
15 November 2020
This has to be the most ignorant documentary I've ever seen. It was absolutely cringeworthy. The way they spin facts to fit a narrative is awful. I am fairly educated (Masters degree) and I cannot stress enough how uneducated these people sound. I thought I was going to see a movie on how Black Conservatives rationale their beliefs. Instead, it turned out to be a bunch of hollow arguments about why Democrats are bad. It gave me a headache.

Great Story, Horrible Acting

The movie itself wasn't too bad. The acting was just super bad.

I Really Don't Know What To Say
24 October 2020
The premise was good. It's real life. But the actual movie left much to be desired. It's just a woman working all day. Nothing stood out. Characters were forgettable. It's just weird.

This Is Weird
19 October 2020
This is not funny and painful to watch. I am currently watching this one episode and so lost as to what I am actually watching. Twenty-one minutes I can never get back.

Not Really Sci-Fi
17 October 2020
I was going into this thinking it was going to be something similar to Armageddon, but this is like a sappy drama about love, relationships, and overcoming hardships.

What did I just watch!?!
29 January 2019
This has to be the craziest, most pathetic, and disturbing crime documentary I have ever seen. The parents should have went to jail. As far as story line and documentary format, this was good. It's just super disturbing.
