Fyre (2019)
2019 | Documentary
Since I'm home, sick with the flu, I decided to watch both Fyre Festival documentaries.
This was the one I watched first, and it focused more on the setup of the festival itself. It was kind of amazing to watch the clusterf*** from the inside, and it was kind of humorous. It was interesting, and a complete train wreck. I really hope that d-bag that was in charge of it didn't profit from it at all, because that'd be really messed up.
I do find it hard to sympathize with all of the rich kids and ridiculous 'influencers'. If it seems too good to be true, it is.

This series was great and I really hope they do more because I need more.
The story lines within each episode were fun and thrilling and left you wanting to watch the next one.

Each individual episode progressed the story along nicely although you have to really watch to follow it sometimes, as one missed bit of information can leave you confused.
I loved how you slowly learnt more and more about each character and what their own personal stories and abilities are.
Highly recommend this series and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

2019 | Biography, Comedy, Drama
Honestly, I was going to watch this film regardless because it has Jack Lowden in it, and I'll watch anything with him in it.
This is very much a movie made for wrestling buffs, and luckily, I have a cousin that's been obsessed with it, so I've had exposure. And, while that may be the target demographic, it is equally accessible to the non-wrestling audience. It's very much a story about family, and the dynamic between the actors made it completely believable. It was really heartwarming and funny, and even I, with my little black and un-beating heart, got choked up at times.

Some unique (Netflix Originals) programming, some classic TV shows and movies too. (2 more)
'My List' allows you to save shows and films to watch at a later stage.
Netflix are open to people sharing their accounts with others (within reason)
User interface is poor and sometimes you spend more time trying to find something to watch than you do actually watching something. (2 more)
A lot of the stand-up comedy is aimed at the USA audience which needs to be addressed as quite frankly the majority of them are just not funny!
Not on the same level as Sky when it comes to blockbuster movies.

I love this movie
I watched this movie when I was way too young, and it terrified me. Fast forward years later when I had my first kiddo, she was asleep up in her room, and I went to watch the movie again. Quickly it occurred to me that I couldn't watch it. I was still so scared of that movie that I was sure my kid was going to get possessed or something from me inviting evil in the house.

Completely ridiculous, but there it is! LOL

(I've since lost some of my fear of the movie and now can just giggle about it.)

Premise of story
Paul Bethany makes this film
I wasn't sure about this movie the first time I watched it, but over the years I have come to respect Paul Bettany so much as an actor that I will watch, and enjoy, anything he's in. This story centers around Mo, and his ability to read characters out of books. He's known as a silvertongue. But when he accidentally swaps his wife into a book, releasing a criminal in her place, he refuses to ever read aloud again.

This movie is good. It's worth a watch if you're in the mood for something different and enjoyable.

What a twist!
Oh my. Been waiting to watch this after watching the trailer a couple of months ago and just watched it today on Netflix on it’s debuting day.

I won’t write too much on the storyline as I do not want to giveaway any spoilers to the amazing twist that lies within and will just advise you to watch it.

If you love sci-fi, you’ll love this film.

If you love thrilling, edge of seat stuff, you’ll love this film.

If you love twists in films, you’ll absolutely adore this film!

You watch the trailer and you think "Hey, this looks kinda creepy." So you decide to give it a shot.. you invite a friend over and you watch and ..now you don't think that friends ever gonna come over anymore because of your horrible taste in movies. Look, this could have been a solid little scare if they had focused more on the Hitker occult mythos rather than over used tropes. The only hatred I have is for this movie

I want repress the memory of watching this like that ex Nazi oppressed his daughter.

Not that many films better than this!
I don't know if I can recall the amount of times I have watched The Thing in sheer amazement every time.

The suspense is still there not knowing which member of the Antarctica squad will become a mutation next or even when The Thing will reveal itself to them and the audience.

Some may say Halloween is Carpenter's best film which is hard to argue against; however, I love The Thing most of all.

I can still watch it again and again and be mesmerized, disgusted and in wonderment of its sheer majesty every time.
