Brilliant court room drama
I hadn't watched the film in ages and then suddenly it popped up on tv so I recorded it. I didn't watch it straight away as I thought I really remembered most of what happened but when I did watch it there was so much I had forgotten about!
Some reviews say that Demi Moore is wooden but I actually think she holds her own in this film. Cruise is brilliant as always, playing the part of the cocky but clever lawyer who goes after one of the big guns (Jack Nicholson).
For anyone who hasn't watched it, you really should, you won't be disappointed! Are we clear?

German Fairytale meet Sci/Fi
This is a beautiful show. It pulls you in with characters that have understandable flaws and tangible humanity, with just the right amount of time travel and nuclear power thrown in.
It's not Stranger Things, don't compare the two. The only similarity is missing kids, and it ends there.
Watch it, but be prepared to focus. The layers of story are artfully crafted, spanning three generations and each one is vital to the story. Also, be prepared to not understand everything. That's okay, let the story peel itself apart slowly and deliciously. Very excited to see where this show goes.

Not an original concept, but enjoyable watch
To be fair, I had never heard of the Hunger Games series before the film came out. So when I watched it my first reaction was - this is a rip off Battle Royale! Obviously that changed after the other films came out. However, I enjoyed the concept - because I loved BR. And I especially liked Jennifer Lawrence who always plays such fabulously gritty characters such as in The Winter's Bone. It's not a film you can watch repeatedly though because it is rather dark, and there are zero comedy elements in this dystopian fantasy (obviously). That being said, great acting all round.

A dark, sad story
Testament of Youth is one of those films that isn’t terrible, but it’s brilliant either. It’s just a good solid film. It has a great cast, especially Alicia Vikander, all of whom put on very good performances. It’s very strange to see Kit Harington in something other than Game of Thrones, and it takes a while to get used to this but he does very well. The script is good and the story itself is pretty sad and harrowing. Kind of what you’d expect with a romantic film based around the First World War, but it was still quite saddening and painful to watch. An all round good and intriguing film to watch.

I re-watched this film on the day Luke Perry (RIP) passed. This is also the only thing I've seen to do with the 'Buffy-verse'.
I really enjoy this movie, and I like it even more each time I watch it. It's entertaining and Luke Perry is a looker. He's very swoon-worthy when he cleans up and walks into that dance. Kristy Swanson kicks a lot of butt. But, seriously, Luke Perry has the two best lines in the entire film.
"Are YOU addressing I?"
as well as:
"And, now you're a coat rack."
While I liked this film, I'm not sure about jumping to the series. I may just watch this again.

Has a child friendly mode
I love Netflix since I love to binge watch my shows. However, it seems that once I finished a show, there is rarely anything else I want to watch. Its easy to blow through so many episodes and be left with next to nothing that interests you. I wish they had a ton my shows streaming. I do love the kids only section and profile you can make. This has helped keep my 1 year old entertained and when she does change the show, I don't have to worry about it being a show with inappropriate behaviors or words.

first comes love
Contains spoilers, click to show
The story of young Veda Sultanfuss (Chlumsky) who is coming of age during the summer goes through a ton of mixed feelings and emotions with her friend Thomas (Caulkin) in this coming of age story. Harry Sultenfuss (Aykryod) owns and runs a funeral parlor and is still morning his wife finds a new love interest in Shelly (Curtis) and Shelly has try try to win over Veda and try to act like her mom. This a true family story and one to not watch alone.
This movie has one of the saddest endings of all time and I can't watch it with out balling my eyes each and every time.

This version of The Mummy is one of my favorite films. I love period films with archaeology/adventure in them, so this movie was perfect for me. Brendan Fraser is so amusing and does a great job as O'Connell, and I love Rachel Weisz as Evie. Yes, this film was based off of the original 'The Mummy' with Boris Karloff, but it didn't bother me at all. Watching it now, some of the special effects look pretty lame. I wish they would remaster and fix the CGI in this film and the Mummy Returns, because it's somewhat cringe-worthy. I still watch this movie all the time, and I'll continue to re-watch it over and over again.

Wide Range of Content
Honestly The Best
This app is constantly open, wether I am watching a video or are listening to music. YouTube has a wide range of content, so there is something for everyone to watch. YouTube has also stepped out and have started to offer some additional features for a free. Although for me I just stick to the free YouTube because I don't mind the occasional ad. For parents out there, there is some questionable content on regular YouTube but they know have YouTube Kids which is perfect for young little ones to watch without parents working about every little video their children is watching.

Look: If you're going to talk about art and cinema, you're going to have to mention NMB4C. It's simply a fact.
The time and effort that went into the movie, coupled against the beautiful storytelling make Tim Burton's classic film worth the watch. This reviewer has been a long-time fan, and continues to watch it at least 2x times per year. Why? Because it's just that fun. Not to mention that Oingo Boingo's front man (and epic composer) Danny Elfman does the singing voice for Jack Skellington. It's simply got a season run between Halloween and X-mas that make the film utterly enjoyable and fun. It's OOAK, and you'll be hard pressed to disagree.
