Stylish with no substance
Here is yet another disappointing Netflix original. I like Alicia Vikander but sadly even she can’t save this, despite speaking Japanese impressively well. The film looks good and it’s very stylish, with an atmospheric and quite haunting soundtrack. The problem is that the plot is rather dull and even the confused mind of Vikander’s character can’t make it any more interesting. It just comes across as your average thriller with a decent setting, sadly story wise it isn’t anything we haven’t seen before. The ending is maybe slightly unpredictable but not entirely surprising either, and overall just a very uninspired film.

Talk about being sucked in to over-the-top weirdness! While you need to take some of it with a grain of salt because it's focused on some of the big players over others, it's still an eye-opening glance into the bizarre world that apparently is tiger-keeping. There are some odd ducks in this world! It does take all kinds, and they definitely hit the jackpot in this circle of people! It's number one on Netflix right now, and there's no wonder as to why. This is a million-ring circus, and then some! Complete with a hair-dyed mullet and someone's best floral head wreaths, worn for tv!

This is truly one of the best, and most beautiful shows ever created. Jonah Hill and Emma Stone both step into roles outside of their respective "wheel houses" and completely nailed it in both cases.
Approaching mental health in film has proven a difficult task in the past, with some exception of course. But I've never seen it done so beautifully and with such a seeming of understanding.
I believe that this show is the best sci fi show Netflix has produced, possibly the best show it has produced overall. Please don't sleep on this one. It starts slow, but you won't be able to look away after a bit.

When I first heard of Riverdale I didn't think I would like it but watching it made my head turn into a forever loving fan of the show. (1 more)
Each episode had gripping and compelling story lines and a huge lot of what if, what could happen and shock moments that I didn't think would happen
The last season that's out on Netflix has been a little boring sad to say with a possible alien story being brought into this. They can do better (1 more)
Also why is Hiram still a bad guy I thought he would of wallowed in potty or other mafia men would of killed him by now?

Stranger Things meets Slasher
Part one of this Horror trilogy on Netflix doesn't disappoint. Seems like it's been a good while since we had a decent modern slasher film. This feels like a 90's horror, and does well to set the scene for '94. It starts with a great pre title scene similar to films like Scream. The killer outfits look good, another very Scream like. The film slows in pace a little towards the end but overall it's very enjoyable. A long with a decent 90's soundtrack to top it off. Roll on part 2 next week.

Emotional impactful
Emotionally insightful storytelling
This Netflix original was bound to be a hit with audiences from the get-go.
Starring the charismatic wonder Kevin Hart, the story follows a new dad struggling to come to the terms with the loss of his wife shortly after giving birth.
It goes on to show the importance of a decision, losing a loved one when there most needed, the struggles of parenting when feeling alone and most importantly-the importance of being a parent and guardian to a young one.
It is a sad but beautiful story, emotionally gritty, one about a depressed father struggling with acceptance and fatherhood.

Funny Horror
An ok Horror with a comedy slant. Featuring a nice cameo from Robert Englund. A bunch of serial killers escape an asylum to take over a Horror park based on their murders.
It's funny in places and the gore generally is OK, although very cheap looking in some scenes. Just a bit hit and miss with the comedy and scares a lot of the time. Often somewhere in the middle of not funny or scary enough.
Check out @Hell Fest (2018) on Netflix, similar but slightly better I felt with a cameo from Tony Todd.

Well, let's just say I know why this wasn't released outside of NY and LA here in the USA. I actually debated buying the digital copy or renting it on Amazon. Thank god I didn't. When I saw that Netflix (US), had added it, I immediately planned on watching it today.
It was not good. There was no tension throughout the film, it was boring. The only thing this film did well was to show the madness.
The only thing that made this worth it was watching Sebastian Stan. Of course, he was a creepy d-bag, but he was nice to look at.
Skip the film, just read the book.
