Patsy & Loretta (2019 TV Movie)

Watch It

[8/10 · 26 February 2022]

At first, I wasn't sure if this was going to be a good movie. The actress playing Loretta Lynn was so hard to look at and did not resemble Loretta in the least. I know Sissie Spacek is nothing to look at and neither was the real Loretta, but they were both better than this actress. Now she had a decent voice and would do Loretta proud.

The Patsy Cline actress was excellent and made the movie, I think.

BUT, this was a TV movie? The quality is very good, the acting is excellent throughout. The story was truly awesome.

Once you get into it, and it draws you in, you really enjoy a story like this. Whether it was fictional or not, it was a great story and by the end of the movie you are loving it, you are thinking back on every aspect of the movie and just loving it.

Highly recommended.

The Woman in the House (2022)

Um

[6/10 · 30 January 2022]

Man, so good until episode 6. Really a very well acted mystery/psychological thriller. Then very unrealistic things happened that ruined it for me. I like Kristin Bell and thought anything she did would be good. There was a little bit of her old investigative items in this.

Saul: The Journey to Damascus (2014)

I Really Wanted to Watch This

[5/10 · 3 December 2021]

How can you even hear the voices with all the stupid music playing all the time? I wanted to watch this but would have to on subtitles due to the stupid music.

Selfie Dad (2020)

Of Course a Good Message, but Just another Michael Jr. video

[4/10 · 15 October 2021]

This was not a bad movie, but it was not a great movie. It was very low budget. If you have watched any Michael Jr. Standup, or have seen him, that is all this movie is. It is just a showcase for his standup, not a great message or anything.

Maid (2021)

Real, Raw, Engaging, Necessary

[10/10 · 5 October 2021]

I really liked the premise of this series. It was different than the normal woman escaping abusive man thriller type of movie or story. This was real and raw and showed the life issues that normal people experience. It also has a really good take on what different types of abuses there are, how they affect not only the parent but the child. It shows the psychological aspects of repressed emotional trauma. It is just overall a very good series and one of the best I have seen in a very long time.

Big Shot (2021–2022)

Why Mess This Up?

[1/10 · 26 August 2021]

This was an average entertaining show with a decent story. They had to mess it up with the LGBQ agenda. So, this is just another LGBQ vehicle. Sadly, it is sickening to do this to teenagers. They are confused enough. Definitely not a family show.

Synchronic (2019)

A Good Mix of Various Elements - Recommended

[9/10 · 18 April 2021]

This was a very good story. It was gritty and provides something for everyone. My only complaint is the constant overuse of profanity which greatly distracted from the intelligence of the movie. But, I would still recommend it.

Stephanie (I) (2017)

Was Decent

[6/10 · 14 March 2021]

I am thinking, Stranger Things. Looks like they got some of their concepts from there, albeit in a very vague and simplistic way. The young actress is amazing and should have a bright future. Didn't care for the rest. I like Blumhouse movies, but feel this one must have been on their low budget end of things.

The Queen's Gambit (2020)

What a Great Show!

[9/10 · 28 October 2020]

This was such a well played out and told story from start to finish. Very well done. It was mostly clean and shows how just a great story can be done. Highly recommended. My 9 instead of 10 is just the small things that I did not like, such as a couple of brief sex scenes and two possible LGBQ moments. But, I can tell you I have recommended this show to many people.

Mulan (2020)

Why The Bad Reviews?

[9/10 · 14 September 2020]

The acting and production were all well done. The story line was more historically accurate than the animation, which I would assume would be a good thing. We really enjoyed this live action story of Mulan. If no animation had ever been done, this should stand by itself anyway. I recommend it. Very entertaining.

Cobra Kai (2018–2025)

Impressed

[1/10 · 31 August 2020]

The first couple of episodes had me wondering. Ralph M. has never been a great actor, but this is a good story. Where has William Zabka been? This guy is a good actor, in my opinion. Lots of flashbacks to the original movie, good story moving along. Almost done with season 1 and I am now hooked.... But even saying Ralph wasn't a good actor, he is Johnny from The Outsiders, he is the awesome guitarist from Crossroads, so I am a fan of his....

Into the Ashes (2019)

Why Did They Make This?

[1/10 · 30 August 2020]

Slow, slowing, slower.... No point really to the movie, just a waste of time. Not even something to just have on in the background, very solemn, not recommended.

Donnie Darko (2001)

What?

[1/10 · 28 August 2020]

I am trying to figure out how the other reviews are high on this film. It is slow, boring, and makes really no sense. Not recommended.

Drunk Parents (2019)

Why?

[1/10 · 26 August 2020]

I tried, I really tried. It got worse. Also, really didn't like the glorifying of 12 year olds with horrible language, profanity, raunchy, etc.

The Sleepover (2020)

Better Actor Needed

[4/10 · 26 August 2020]

This kid Kevin is extremely annoying and makes the movie highly difficult to watch. This actor just needs to find a different career.

We Summon the Darkness (2019)

Seriously?

[1/10 · 20 August 2020]

They actually made this. It wasn't really a b movie because production and acting was good, but a horrible, horrible story that gets you bored almost immediately.

Rip Tide (2017)

Not Original, but GOOD

[10/10 · 15 July 2020]

I think this is a good watch. The story and acting were very good. I really like the 'finding yourself' aspect that this movie displayed. Also, the relationship between the mom, daughter, aunt, old friend, etc. that were really important to this story. I recommend it.

Stateless (2020)

An Excellent Human Piece

[10/10 · 15 July 2020]

I can't believe any of the negative reviews, I feel they must have watched only one or two episodes. You must watch this complete series. It is a human story. About naturals to Australia, refugees, detainment workers and their families, case workers, protesters, cults, psychiatrics issues, etc.

It did not sway me to think anything different about legal vs. non-legal. But, as I said it is about humans in general and their strife. I highly recommend it.

Perry Mason (2020–2023)

A Disgrace

[1/10 · 25 June 2020]

This is not Perry Mason. Not sure what this was supposed to be. Totally disgraced the original Perry Mason. Why do this????

Feel the Beat (2020)

Overall a Good Show

[8/10 · 22 June 2020]

It is a familiar formula. It is cute, entertaining, and well done. The acting is good for the most part. The story line and quirky moments are all good. It is a feel good movie, a simple movie, with a very good message. I recommend it. I marked it as 8 instead of 10 because it is rated TV-G and there are several aspects of it that are not G rated.

Imposters (2017–2018)

Enjoyable

[10/10 · 17 June 2020]

I agree with all of the good reviews on here. This is a very engaging show with good characters, very good acting (except Uma Thurman), and a good production. I really appreciated the writing. It kept you interested and on edge. A good mystery, a thriller, with alot of fun and comic moments. Season 1 was better than Season 2 for sure, but still a good story overall. I can't believe they cancelled it. I wish that Netflix would just pick it up and give us another 4 seasons!

Running Out Of Time (2018)

Pretty Cheesey

[2/10 · 11 June 2020]

Not really a good story. Maybe something to have on in the background while doing something else. A fairly cheesy movie with not good acting. Production is okay. For some reason they have Tasha standing around in her bra and panties for a long time for no reason. Not sure why they even made this movie.

Occupation (2018)

Entertaining, but don't expect reality

[5/10 · 8 June 2020]

Yes, a B movie, but entertaining. Sort of a Red Dawn meets Power Rangers in how unbelievable a lot of it is. I did like the characters and the sub-stories. Some acting was not too bad. What is cool to see is that since there are over 11,000 ratings on here already, at least 11,000 people have seen the movie.... I didn't waste my time on it, it was entertaining enough that I am glad I watched it. But do not expect much.

Echo in the Canyon (2018)

Just a Jakob Dylan special, not what you think

[3/10 · 2 May 2020]

This was just a Jakob Dylan special. He is interviewing everyone from the era and redoing their songs. He sings the same in all of them and does not pay a good tribute to any of them, in my opinion. It is also a tribute to the movie Model Shop. This is not the special I was hoping it would be based on the description. Don't be fooled.

Extraction (2020)

Would Have Been a B Movie

[4/10 · 29 April 2020]

This would have been a B movie if Hemsworth wasn't in it. Alot of action scenes, actually way too many, and in my opinion a horrible ending. The story line is the generic fight your way out of a bad situation while multiple bad guys are after you scenario, which you see is hundreds of B movies each year. Not a fan.
