Waco: The Aftermath (2023)

Very good. A fairly accurate depiction of events

[10/10 · 9 June 2023]

Well written, well acted and addictive viewing. Binge watched this over 2 days.

What I found most interesting was my pre conceived ideas about the branch Davidian's were ill informed (by incessant negative media coverage). They were a lot more sane, rational and human than I had previously thought.

A good pointo worth making is that it showed both sides of the story. It did show the deficiencies in the FBI and ATF tactics and the davidian members who were not entirely innocent themselves.

Michael Shannon (who would make a very good Frankenstein) and Giovanni Ribisi put in a good shift here. Acting is top notch.

The Lincoln Lawyer (2022– )

Generic, predictable and no tension or mystery whatsoever

[3/10 · 22 May 2022]

My partner made me watch almost every minute of this. What a waste of my time. Poorly written with no mystery,no tension and an entirely formulaic and generic plot. If you like all those B movies in the 80s and 90s , you'll love this.

There's also something really off with the main actor , he's wooden and lacks Charisma. He's certainly no Titus Welliver. Avoid and watch the movie ten times. You'll get more enjoyment.

Curse of Chucky (2013)

Chucky as you imagined him

[9/10 · 16 October 2020]

Lots of fun and plenty of insane scares here and there. Everything you would expect from a child's play film. 9/10
