The Gray Man (2022)
I haven't finished it yet
I haven't finished it yet and not sure if I can or will. What's up with today's movies? Lame. Give me some classic 90s cinema instead. I'm not sure what to think about Ryan Gosling. My husband said the movie is boring and we turned it off and went bed. Maybe I'll give it another shot and come back here and update my review.
The Man from Toronto (2022)
Entertaining Enough
I can't hate on this harmless fun film! That is literally what it is. Has a few good laughs. Keeps you entertained. I recommend this movie for a laid back night. It has some swear words but it can sort of work as a family movie because the whole thing is pretty much a fun light atmosphere throughout. Likeable characters!
The Rental (2020)
The Racism claim is highly Annoying
If someone has to announce their diversity, it is obvious that that is a blatant attempt to say hey look this isn't just a movie about four white people.
This is a nagging element throughout the course of the film. To go to great lengths to give the actress a more ethnic name in order to enhance the racism claim is annoying.
The Broken Rose (2018)
I can't recommend this Trash
Trashy movie. Naive, foolish woman being led astray. Did not finish watching. This is the representation of a young black female that this movie is presenting? It really isn't good. The movie is trying to shed light but at the same time , why are the girls so stupid?? Surely even a teenager can sense danger and do her best to stay away from the entrapments of a promiscuous life.
The Gift (2015)
I've watched it twice!
This is a very good movie. I won't spoil anything but I have to write enough words to add my review! This is a thrilling, interesting and suspenseful watch. The acting is good. Doesn't drag on and on but it does keep one wondering, hmmm what is going on here?
Gordon is super awkward and weird upon first being introduced to the character. Great job Joel Edgerton! Overall 10/10!
Is It Cake? (2022)
Enjoyable but like everyone else said...
The host drags the thing on and and ON!!! I was like, just cut the cake!! Geesh. He talked way too much. The show is pure entertainment but could use better strategy in judging as well as who gets to bake.
Master (2022)
Interesting but falls Short
I contemplated giving this movie 6 stars. The reason for the 1 extra star is because of the mood of movie. You are always lead to feel like something intriguing is about to happen, which kept me watching till the end. The atmospheric qualities of the film are top notch.
Where the film falls short is in the script itself. Specifically, the young freshman who is so naive and un willing to help herself out of a negative situation. This is annoying for the viewer who feels the distress that the character is supposed to be feeling. But she stays in an unfavorable situation. The script also has some loose ends to tie up.
Overall, I like Regina Hall enough to watch till the end.
Clemency (2019)
OSCAR WORTHY
Why????? Why did Alfre Woodard not Receive an Oscar nod for this? This movie is top notch acting from all involved! It is a really serious film. I am not shocked that this movie did not receive any recognition ( African American led cast). It is upsetting. Such a hidden gem!
Death to 2021 (2021)
I laughed out loud a few times!
Ok this was a pleasant surprise... at times quite hilarious. It was easy to tell that that the show was liberal leaning. Politics aside, it was entertaining!
The Harder They Fall (2021)
Idris Elba is Menacing
Idris Elba plays a bad guy so well I can't stand him!!! All performances were pretty solid but Elba definitely is a standout. The movie has style and humor. A solid 10 from me!
People Magazine Investigates (2016)
Suspenseful series throughout
It's a good show. Some of the episodes have no resolution to the crimes depicted, so that can be annoying. Keep someone at the edge of their seat till the very end and then oop no closure! Well that's life sometimes! Overall a very interesting show.
Fatherhood (2021)
Positive Movie
I recommend! Shows a different side rarely seen single fathers. It is so good. Eyes welled up a few times. It's very good. I actually can't believe that this is Kevin Hart pulling such emotional weight in a dramatic role. Great Job Kevin Hart!
Those Who Wish Me Dead (2021)
Entertaining
The movie is entertaining. That's why people watch movies. Nothing else to say!
The Upshaws (2021)
Um it's hilarious!!
Wow Mike Epps and Wanda Sykes deliver the jokes and the baby mamma too! Still on the first episode and had to jump on and write a review because rarely does a show make me laugh from the jump.
It's a Mann's World (2015)
It's really a good show!
The show has substance humor and heart. The matriarch and patriarch of the family are so likeable.
Baggage (2010)
You will laugh out Loud!
This is show is hilarious at times, fun to watch when you can't decide on anything else.
Coming 2 America (2021)
Absolutely gorgeous and stunning cast!
What a beautiful cast! It's just great to watch this film that showcases such beautiful black people. My whole family enjoyed!!
Ginny & Georgia (2021)
What is wrong with people??
Nobody likes condescending bratty teenagers. No one does!! When will Netflix realize this??
The Temptations (1998)
So Good!!!!
Amazing music. just great storytelling. A beloved musical group!!
The Great (2020)
Vulgar
This show is vulgar to the point of being unwatchable.
I Care a Lot (2020)
I will NOT root for evil!!
Most people with any decency and a heart will want to empathize and root for someone in any movie. We were all rooting for the mafia guy to get Marla. She needed to pay for her crimes. But no! Marla's end was not satisfying enough. Made me very upset.
Mermaid Down (2019)
Intriguing!
Such a good and heartfelt film. I cried at the end. Thought it was beautiful. This film definitely had its dark and creepy moments but worked to it's advantage. I highly recommend!
Miss Virginia (2019)
Watch It!
You will laugh you will cry and you will applause throughout! I Was hesitant to watch this movie. Took a chance and just gave it a go one day. Had to get on here and give Miss Virginia a good review!
101 Dalmatians (1996)
Childhood Memories!!
