I watch a lot of b- horror (especially on Tubi), this one is a step above normal. The 2 leads do a great job as a real couple and the bad person is very convincing as a psychopath. The premise used the quintessential campground, but uses it in a newer way. The cinematography is superb for this type of film and there are limited night scenes (which I can't stand). The semi-yuppie couple argue like one would expect. The kills aren't too gory, but they are creative. Again, this is a very unique Mar Vista film that I did not anticipate as being this good. The female lead is a perfect fit for this role.

Bermuda Island
(2023)
Strange Movie
20 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The reviews here are all over the place as is this film. It's definitely not a 1 due to the bizarreness of it-is it really a serious movie? Tom Sizemore plays a fat, pasty sky maitre de who mumbles. There are subplots such as WW1 veterans being satan and goofy mean FBI agents. The production seems to be intentionally amateurisic -which adds to the overall experience of this film. The creatures are fake looking "black lagoon" types that also seem to be charicatures of themselves (if that is possible). My rating is based on the viewing experience, not story or acting or especially special effects.
You People

Eddie Murphy hasn't aged
9 February 2023
Movie was one gigantic stereotype. Jonah Hill is heavy again, but still accurately Jewish. Every Jewish and especially African American stereotype was used. Of course " boomers" are always the morons that they are nowadays. All music is some form of misogynistic rap interspersed like the '70s show. Eddie Murphy does not look 61, but his acting is like he is 61. Does have lots of cameos- especially in the beginning. I suppose if you have Netflix, you might watch since it's made and filmed in LA. I watched it on a cross continent flight, so I had no problem finishing, but you have seen this before- just not as obnoxiously.
Standard pseudo intellectual Alcoholic
7 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Of course the acting and direction was top notch, but the story has been seen numerous times before. John is smarter and definitely studlier than most. The hot women can't leave him alone, be it the nurses, the hot pilot or the fellow paraplegics. His story is probably no different than millions of others that made mistakes early in life, he just gets to have many more woman due to his intelligence and wittiness.
The cinematography was great, however I grew up in the 70' and it wasn't as depressing as this movie makes it out to be. Jonah Hill is a natural in his roll. Overall, a good movie, not a great movie.

Demon Legacy
(2014)
Watchable
1 June 2022
Standard witch/demon fair. The demon girls were neat, not necessarily scary. Plot is similar to many other films, but it goes smoothly. Actresses are all very good looking and lead actress shows off her exemplary body numerous times.
The White Lotus
(2021–2025)
Entertaining enough
26 July 2021
The male characters are all complete goofball/losers. The female characters are all super witty, good looking and wise. Sydney's character is the most advanced high school sophomore in history. But, the show is still entertaining.
I have actually been to that Four Seasons, and there are more than 4 people on the staff.

Into the Dark
(2018–2021)
Into the Dark mediocrity
29 March 2021
I would actually give it a 8 for the series, but a 4-5 for comparison value. Into the dark usually means a 20 minute story told in 75 minutes, but you may have to pay attention the whole 75 because they throw in tidbits of useful information here and there. Acting and production values are 1st rate, cinematography is great. Ending was brief and was anti -climatic.
The Good Doctor
(2017–2024)
Show is going downhill quickly
17 February 2021
As recently mentioned, this show presently is using almost 75% woke subject stories. I'm almost fine having 1 of the stories following a woke subject (after all it is a network), but to have the majority of the program addressing woke subjects is not acceptable for a diverse audience. It almost appears as if the writers are trying for this
The Glass Castle
(2017)
Strange story with good acting
7 February 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Didn't read the book, but if you like violent drunks, enablers, child abuse and child molestation this is your movie. Woody is great as usual -so it makes the story worse. The father has loads of money in land and starves his family for 3 days - amongst numerous other heinous things he did. Apparently, he did not do one positive thing for anyone ever
The Maid's Room
(2013)
A nicely told story
28 December 2020
Many reviews have called it boring, but I disagree (and I have very little patience for boring films). Acting was quite good, direction was also even. The musical score was what kept the pace. I would give it a view and keep an open mind to the story telling.
A Teacher
(2020)
A touch unrealistic but watchable
11 November 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The guy (Ryder from M&J), has a hot girlfriend, and is allegedly quite intelligent. His girlfriend(S) would most likely have picked up on the horny teacher constantly with the dude and would have " torn her a new one" in some way (like reporting her).
A more successful target, for the horny teacher, would probably be a less studly student. Still entertaining enough to watch.

American Pie Presents: Girls' Rules
(2020 Video)
Watchable by Netflix standards
9 October 2020
Agree with many of the negative comments, however it isn't preachy or that boring. It is also American ( as name indicates), therefore more watchable than many of Netflix's overseas choices. No nudity is somewhat disappointing, but acting was serviceable.
The Assistant
(III) (2019)
Unrealistic
25 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Not as boring as many reviews, but probably not to representative of many offices in today's environment - maybe a Weinstein's, but if someone actually knows this, then that someone was also willingly in that environment.
Hopefully a graduate from Northwestern wouldn't refer to a good hotel using Beverly Hillbilly speak "fancy hotel". Julie Garner saves the movie.
