It Comes at Night (2017)
Major Spoiler Ahead
OK, first let's clear the air. Despite the title, the movie ends without the audience knowing what comes at night. And that, in my opinion, adds to the greatness of the movie. All those who complain about not knowing what comes at night is missing the point of the movie. This isn't a typical horror movie like Halloween or The Exorcist. It does have a horror element along those lines, though, especially well done with the cinematography, lighting, and mood and so on. But ultimately, this is a psychological horror. It deals with our humanity and morality and sense of self-preservation when the poop hits the fan. And all those questions left unanswered, such as what comes at night and who infected who, is inconsequential. Ultimately, I love this movie for the beauty it is and yes, it did scare me a little with those elements I mentioned.
As a FYI, if you like this movie, there's another movie I highly recommend. It's called 'The Divide'. Disclaimer: potential spoiler to follow. It's about a group of people who huddle together in a fall-out shelter post- nuclear war. If you've read my review up to now, then you'll understand when I say I could give a hoot about who started the war, especially since it was over within the first 30 seconds of the movie. The tag line for the movie was: The lucky ones died in the blast. Lol.
Ashley (2013)
Beautiful!!
First, yes this is a lesbian movie. But this is more than just about that. It deals with a teenage girl who comes to terms with her sexual identity in the context of all her other psychological turmoil. This includes an abusive mom and an absent father (thank goodness for that because...). There is a sense of realism to this movie that represents a hidden segment of America. I love this movie!! I won't spoil the ending except to say I like the way it ended (sometimes I like happy endings, sometimes I don't).
World War Z (2013)
Great Movie!!
In my opinion, probably one of the best zombie movie yet. A close second would be 'Dawn of the Dead' (where they're all stuck in a mall). Third would be 'Zombieland' (Lol, comedy movie).
The only thing I would say is wrong with this movie is there is no sequel planned right now :(
The Guest House (2012)
Beautiful Romantic / Love Movie
Some people have given this movie low ratings. Personally, I love this movie. The acting was not Oscar caliber but still was not bad. Overall, it is a lesbian movie. If you're just looking for a lesbian sex romp, then this movie is not for you. But if you're looking for a love story type movie then you might enjoy it. It's about 2 girls who start off as friends and then slowly get to know each other and fall in love. Being a lesbian myself, I can say that we don't always thing about sex all the time with other women. We also think about romance and falling in love :)
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
Just finished watching it!
Loved it!
I especially love the beginning part, which in my opinion was the best part.
It was the Amazon summer Olympics, lol. I think the actress playing young Diana is ultra cute and has the talent to match. Afterwards, it does slow down for a little bit, but that's just setting the stage for the story line to come. As things pick up, the action is great and I love it. An occasional moment of laughter here and there, not too over the top. Like for instance, when WW was pushing that heavy armored truck sideways forward to use as a shield against getting shot at, LMAO.
The acting over all was great and I love Gal Gadot. I think she's a great actress. Kristen Wiig carried her part well, also. There are a few things I would change in this movie. First is that I kind of wish Wiig's character had died in the end. It seemed fitting. Second, while I'm happy Max found his son in the end, it would have been nice if he was arrested and sent to jail. The ending to me was too campy, but I guess it's to balance out all the terrible things that have been going on this year (2020). Overall, I would recommend this movie for everyone and would definitely watch it again.
On a side not, I think the problem with all these bad reviews for this and a lot of other movies is that people are too busy comparing sequels to the original. If you read the reviews like me, and I've read A LOT, you'll see what I mean. Very few sequels ever do as well as the original. Even the great Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi pails in comparison to A New Hope. People need to just watch the movie and enjoy it for what it is.
Zombieland: Double Tap (2019)
Loved It!
I think what made the first one great is also what made this one great, the sense of family and togetherness in a zombie apocalypse. Yes there were a few scenes here and there I wish was different but overall, really enjoyed it. Made me want to buy an RV and get together with some family or friends and just hit the road. Some things I am glad for, the outcome of Madison though I wished she had been with them at the end. In all fairness, it wasn't "ha ha" funny but like I said, I like the coming together of the team plus some more. Overall, I really did enjoy, as much as the first one.
Cries from Syria (2017)
Had to fight back tears
This documentary makes you wonder about your life and all the "problems" you face everyday. These people no longer have a home, many have lost loved ones, starvation and fighting (including with WMD) sort of make your problems seem trivial.
I came upon this show by accident while channel surfing and I couldn't look away. I wonder if HBO had ever shown this during prime time hours like 8 PM or only on late night (12:40AM - 2:40AM) when I caught it. After our last presidential election where our new president (sadly it's Trump) talked about refusing assistance to these people or even letting them in, it makes you wonder how Christian all these American people really are. When you stand before God for judgment, he will ask you what you did to help people like these and you better have a good answer.
This show follows the war in Syria over several years, from the civil war against the Asad regime to the invasion by ISIS to the Russian involvement, which only made things worse. It is VERY GRAPHIC, as it should be. It includes real footages of death, destruction, dismemberment, and even footages of civilians poisoned by WMD from Asad's regime, as the world did little to help.
To me, this show is one of the few that I feel everyone should watch. As I watched this, I remembered an incident I read about in WW2. When the Allies invaded Germany and freed the Jews, they saw the concentration camps and began to realize the full extent of the massacre. They asked the German people of a nearby town why they did not do anything against their government, the people responded they didn't know what was happening to the jews. The Allies then to these people to the concentration camps and showed them what they did not know was going on.
If we Americans are true Christians, then we need to show it in our actions.
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)
My Take
The problem with this movie for me is I grew up watching the G.I. Joe cartoons of the 1980's so I tend to compare this to the cartoons. With that said, this movie is rather entertaining but there are a few things I didn't like. These include: First, General Hawk wasn't portrayed as very confident and didn't exude leadership qualities as I felt he should. Second, as per the cartoon, Ripcord should be white, not black. Third, Scarlett and Duke are supposed to be a couple, not Scarlett and Ripcord and Duke and the Baroness. Fourth, I so did not like their choice for the Cobra Commander and Destro. Destro is supposed to be a strong, confident confidant of the commander. Fifth, why did Covergirl have to die? Anyway, despite all this, I still enjoy this movie. It was entertaining despite what I feel was a weak story line. The action was pretty cool, not too over-the-top but adequate. I did like some of the technology utilized in this movie, despite it being sci-fi for now.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013)
My take
I actually like this movie but there were a few things I did not like (major spoiler alert). First, I didn't like the fact that Duke died. He's a main character in the cartoons and he dies??? Second, I wish they had brought back Scarlett from the first movie. Would have been nice to see her and Lady Jaye kicking butts. Third, I did not like how Flint was portrayed in this movie. He's supposed to be third in command behind General Hawk and Duke. And they made him to be kind of inexperienced. Also, he and Lady Jaye are supposed to be a couple. Fourth, Flint should have been next in command, not Roadblock. Fifth, I didn't like that Destro was left out of the movie. He is also a main character and they didn't use him at all??? Sixth, I didn't like that Zartan and Firefly were killed. Will there be a sequel? It's kind of hard if you kill all your main characters. Seventh, I wish they had brought in more Joes. Despite all this, however, I did like the movie and at least found it entertaining.
