Scream (1996)
10/10
One of the smartest horror films created
31 March 2020
Popular or not, this is a timeless classic. There's so much nuanced brilliance in this film. Watching this some 15 years later, it still feels as fresh as the first (and 10th) time watching it. This will go down, in my book, as one of the top 10...5 horror films of all time.

Shot Caller (2017)
8/10
Really Enticing Film, but...
9 December 2019
You have to just let go of the reality that this wouldn't ever happen. He ran a red light and accidentally killed his friend (of whom was the reason he was distracted and ran the light, I might add). He most likely would have never seen the inside of a prison. Once you get past that, the film is thoroughly enjoyable. Yes, I can see this happen, if, say, he had committed a crime that actually would've put him inside prison.

Watchmen (2019)
10/10
Ignore morons
24 October 2019
If you ever want to know what stupidity is, just read the negative reviews. Yes, I get that Watchmen is hallowed ground for Uber fans, but I think Lindeloff is doing a great job tying in past events and characters into a new story arch. Give it time before posting nonsense out of naive anger.

Good but drug on a little too long
7 September 2019
It lost a bit of its "pizzazz" with the 27 year jump. I enjoyed this a lot, but the adult actors (with the exception of Bill Hader, he stole the show) were honestly just not as engaging, and Pennywise was not as entertaining to watch. He almost felt like a filler character who popped up at times rather than the central looming enemy that was always "in" the scene, even if not physically present. I honestly forgot what film I was watching at times.

With that said, it is certainly worth watching, and some of the scary scenes are truly terrifying, but overall, It Chapter One was overall a more solid film.

The Handmaid's Tale: Seeds (2018)
Season 2, Episode 5
10/10
Best episode of the series so far.
1 September 2019
Binge watching this show. Season 1 substantially better than season 2, so far, but this episode...damn. The film techniques were perfectly executed. Scene after scene I was blown away. First episode I was truly wow'd by.

Beyond Words
27 July 2019
Just go watch it. Everything about this film is phenomenal. From the musical choices, the dialogue, camera angles(the box office scene may be my favorite scene of the film), to how the mood changes based on which story you're telling; Quentin has done it again. This film will be studied for years to come, guaranteed.

Eli Stone (2008–2009)
10/10
Very good show
1 February 2008
I have watched the pilot twice now and both times I was stunned. The show is about Eli who is a lawyer that suddenly starts hearing George Michael and other "voices" that brings him to do cases to help people. He saves their lives in a sense by taking their cases. We find out that maybe one reason he hears the voices is because he has a brain aneurysm. But in another sense Eli may just be a prophet for our generation.

The show has a stunning cast and Eli is very relate able and turns out to be a really good guy. Dr. Cheng is another great character who is a Chinese acupuncturist. He is more of a surfer dude, but a really good Wise with a mind full of wise wisdom.

The show is emotional funny but overall really good that makes me, and possibly more people, how we live our life.

Best show on TV!
28 February 2007
As for the whole Departed rip off... THINK AGAIN! I love Scorsese and would never put him down, I've seen the Departed 5 times, and this show does not even attempt to rip it off. The Departed is all about mix ups and backstabbing. Although The Departed does take place in a poor Irish neighborhood, The Black Donnelys take a whole new approach. This show is all about, well... brotherly love. Tommy will go so far as to go against everything he isn't to protect his brothers. This show does not start out slow at all. It is up in your face by second 1 and doesn't slow down. The intro is cool too. I almost think it will rise above The Sopranos (one of the greatest!) it is that good.

This is not a TV show, it is more a movie that is to long for theaters so they chopped it up and put it into a TV show.

As for what it replaced Studio 60 sucked. It was slow and dull and a wannabe attempt to try and make an entourage (the whole going into the actors behind the scenes life wise, not premise wise)show and did not work. That headline a while ago should be, WHAT was on before THE BLACK DONNELYS!

Please, if you even seem to like Scorsese or Guy Ritchie films whatsoever, WATCH THIS! You will not regret it!

OH AND Don't DIS CRASH, AMAZING FILM!
