Lisey's Story (2021)

Only for King's most dedicated

[4/10 · 22 July 2021]

Possibly the worst adaptation of any novel by Mr. King and he wrote the screenplay! The direction is consistently crude and in response Ms. Moore's performance is rough and illogical. Suffer through it only if you are a King fan. A dedicated fan. A really dedicated fan.

Bad Ben: The Way In (2019)

It's like picking my nose...

[5/10 · 22 May 2019]

...I don't know why I do it but I keep catching myself doing it. Watching another Bad Ben film.

The Twilight Zone (2019–2020)

Insulting to viewers

[3/10 · 3 May 2019]

There is nothing worse than programming that treats its viewers as stupid and ignorant. This series in no way respects the foundations of the original Twilight Zone. It is awful.

Aliens: Zone of Silence (2017)

Good Effort

[4/10 · 2 January 2018]

Aliens is a good effort, and also something of a demo of the latest portable technology. It is a found footage contribution to the alien abduction genre, here filmed in the always beautiful Mohave desert and possibly including Alabama Hills or similar. The story line is pretty thin, but some of the audio and visual effects are cool for a small film. Ms. Hester, however, does a great job portraying her character's changing responses to unseen threats. It will be interesting to see what she does next. This is film for followers of the genre and not many others. The sincere effort made by the producers is appreciated.
