Trafficked: A Parent's Worst Nightmare (2021)

Not too bad

[7/10 · 16 April 2022]

I don't like how some reviews claim racial stereotypes, why? Because the captors are Black? So if they were white, no issue, right? Does the fact that we cannot portray Black race as anything but heroic characters not also racist but also untrue because people of low character and morals come from all races/genders. I'm convinced that the negative people, on Twitter/news outlets, don't want equality they want to elevate certain race/gender/political affiliations, at the detriment of others.

Anyway, slow build, I didn't like how the music and sound effects could be louder than vocal audio. The songs were really nicely chosen to set the tones. The scene were the father first start searching for his daughter while she's experiencing her first day of "work" is heartbreaking and they did the scene well to evoke emotion. This movie is scary, they were able to cover many issues and talking points involved in this crime. The acting was good, so-so from the mother, I thought she was a weak link.

Abandoned and Deceived (1995 TV Movie)

Bellow average

[2/10 · 30 October 2021]

Acting is so-so from the adults, the children's acting is poorly done. Honestly, I found the script lacked complexity and depth within the scenes. The sequence of events are apathetic and disconnected. Good camera work, that's about it in regard to any positive comments.

When Andrew Came Home (2000 TV Movie)

Wow

[8/10 · 9 September 2021]

Incredible acting from the little boy, some of the best I've ever seen. The story is scary, the horrors little Andrew had to suffer makes this story terrifying. There was good acting all around but incredible acting from the actor who plays Andrew.

Cinderella (I) (2021)

Quit

[1/10 · 9 September 2021]

Hollywood, get new ideas and quit trying (and failing) to remake every great movie idea. Poor acting, I forgot, here's Hollyweird's mentality- if someone is famous in one artistic talent, they must be good at it all! Umm, no, someone who sings for a living, cannot necessarily be an actor/actress and vice versa. Quit hiring actors based on popularity instead of talent.

Who Is Killing the Cheerleaders? (2020 TV Movie)

So bad

[1/10 · 31 July 2021]

I really wish they would quit making these generic movies. The acting is bad, storyline is poorly written. Do they really need to portray the high school students come off so insensitive and disrespectful to teachers? Do we always need to see high school students showing up at school and hot pants or looking like they're going out clubbing? No one can can go to school dressed like this, so dispense with the over-sexuality of teenagers, so that you can focus on better acting and storyline. Overall, I could not enjoy because of it's too hokey of a typical storyline, I've seen dozens of times, mixed with less than subpar acting.

Murder of Innocence (1993 TV Movie)

Chilling

[10/10 · 26 June 2021]

The most convincing portrayal of someone with mental illness that I have ever seen in the movie. The filming style, music, suspensual-scene progression is so riveting and chilling. The main actress made such a convincing portrayal, it made me uncomfortable to watch some scenes because they were very intense.

The Wrong Stepmother (2019 TV Movie)

Flop

[2/10 · 18 April 2021]

I guess the first thing that bug me to the point of wanting to quit watching the movie was when the stepmother ( I realize that she's not quite the stepmother yet but I'm going to call her thus) is in the backseat of the dad's coworker/family friend. I don't understand why the lady didn't get out of the car when she found out someone had broken into her car and was in the back seat. She continued to sit there while the stepmother continued to get more and more agitated in tone, Yet the woman still sits there in the front seat, presumably thinking, "this person who broke into my car can't possibly harm men right?" The kicker for me was when the stepmother go see cord/strap around the woman's has throat and she grabs and it with both hands, yes, initially I could see most people reacting this way but there was at least an attempt at a solution if she had reached down with her left hand she could have released the seat to the recline position, either hit the woman in the face or just tried to sit up real quick and get out of the car but no, it appears that she does nothing but try we staying to grab the rope and dies. I just kind of feel like this whole scene was insulting an unbelievable.

Another part that irks me is that after the stepmother lies in front of the father about rewriting his daughter's college essay and then ends up admitting that, in fact, she did rewrite it the dad's underwhelming reaction is not believable. I even considered that, perhaps, he's blinded by love and will not fault her, the seriousness of changing the essay which can impact his daughter's future of getting into college should have elicited a stronger reaction from the father, especially the fact that the stepmother lied about it as well. Dumb predictable ending, poor acting, bad plot.

Deadly Excursion: Kidnapped from the Beach (2021 TV Movie)

Wasted my time

[2/10 · 17 April 2021]

It's so insanely drawn out, it feels like there will never be a conclusion. I can't even tell you how many times they swapped around who was the one kidnapped between the daughter/father/mother, it kept flip-flopping around. The acting is so-so but the plot is not good.

Mommy Is a Murderer (2020)

Not good, not good at all

[1/10 · 16 April 2021]

The scene where she calls endless amounts of hotels and motels to finally discover the whereabouts of the woman and little girl only to let them get away when she sees them leave the hotel room...she literally watches them drive away instead of getting in her car and following them. She goes into the room they just left and sits on the hotel bed and calls someone with the gist, "I don't know what to do now". Earlier, she even tries to call out the little girl's name, when she walks out of the motel room, so how is it that she's willing to blow her cover by actually speaking and trying to call out to the little girl but she's not willing to get in her car, that she drove there with and follow them? Overall, the acting is shoddy and the storyline is just pretty much horrible.

Seven Deadly Sins: Lust (2021 TV Movie)

A pleasure to watch

[9/10 · 16 April 2021]

So good, I love it! Good acting, beautifully directed and produced.

Teen Mom OG (2009– )

This show is trash

[1/10 · 24 October 2018]

Adelinachavez get a life. No one cares that you love the show with all your heart and that you don't think it's a bad influence on America because more people think it is than not.
