Late Night with the Devil (2023)
Unique and well executed
If you're a horror movie watcher who likes constant jump scares elaborate plot set ups and gore, this isn't your film. This film tells you exactly what it's going to be and then executes it flawlessly. It's engaging, it's different, and it takes you on an interesting and intriguing ride through an episode of a late night talk show. This movie is original and definitely worth a watch.
David Dastmalchian shines as the leading man, and his supporting actors are also great. I must admit that I like anything that is set in the 70s to begin with, so immediately I was on board before even knowing anything about this movie.
Enjoy your movie night!
The Curse (2023)
Ignore all the super low reviews
Yes.. it's a bit slow.. by design. Even so, there's so much happening. So much psychological movement it stays engaging. Mind you, I'm only 3 episodes in, but this is a very psychologically driven dark comedy. The humor is so tongue in cheek, it almost doesn't even play as a joke half the time, which is one of the things I think is so brilliant about this show. The main characters constantly contradict themselves, which leads into incredibly awkward interactions. Normally, awkward comedy like this is hard for me to watch, because for the comedic purposes the situations and reactions are so outlandish that they can be really hard to watch. This feels much more human in its approach. While, incredibly uncomfortable, I find it easy to understand the characters in their place of awkwardness. The performances by Emma Stone and Nath Fielder are brilliant. I look forwarder to finishing the show and will update my review, but by episode 3 I'd say it's worth a watch if you like this kinda thing. Just make sure you're in the right frame of mind for it.
Bio-Dome (1996)
Watch for something mindless
This movie is so fun, but it's not smart. It's mad dumb and that's the point. It's a light, silly comedy that doesn't take itself seriously at all. Watch this when you wanna turn off for a night. If you know Pauly Shore at all, you know what you're getting into. I grew up on this, and to me it's a classic.. it won't be for everyone and even those it's for May not be sure about how they actually feel. But it's enjoyable, silly, funny, and super dumb. Enjoy, and have a good time with what this is.
Home Economics (2021)
It's worth it
Lately, I find myself craving wholesome entertainment. This is that. Jimmy Tatro is always funny. The show is well written and has a certain depth that holds attention. I like the show a lot, and I think it's also not for everyone. Not everyone likes wholesome stuff- but if you do, give this show a shot. The More i watch, the more i enjoy!
Brockmire (2017)
Wow
This is one of the best comedy shows in the last 10 years. It's got everything. It's crude, yet sophisticated, and wild but gentle. Hank Azaria's character development with Jim Brockmire through the seasons is just wonderful and powerful, and so so funny. If you're ready for a fun and wild ride, give this one a shot.
Event Horizon (1997)
Thoroughly enjoyed
This movie gave me the creeps! I just watched it for the first time ever, and I gotta say wow! 24 years later and it definitely still packs a punch. Obviously this movie is very 90s but that doesn't mean anything. It's well done, freaky, and has some good jump scares. I will definitely watch this movie again. This is easily one of my new favorite space/horror films, or old favorites, or whatever.
Mr Inbetween (2018)
Excellent series
It's hard to believe Scott Ryan has zero credits other than two pieces of art that feature Ray Shoesmith. His portrayal of this character is just wonderful. The series is well worth a watch.
Another Life (2019)
First few episodes are tough, then it gets enjoyable
I've seen the season once, and now I'm watching it again since season 2 is about to come out. I have tried this before and struggled to get through the first episode or two, but it's worth it. The twist and turns increase and the high school stuff stops. It's a cool show, and I hope they keep this kind of momentum going into the next season. If you can get through the first episodes, you'll enjoy.
Midnight Mass (2021)
Wow.
This show went far beyond what I was expecting. It presents as a slow burn, but after a few episodes, things begin to get a bit spicy, and suddenly you're just hooked, and riding this roller coaster to the end. It's a beautiful presented original idea. The character depth and development is perfect, and I found myself enjoying each of them, even the ones I wanted to hate. It's a great watch. Well done!
Mr. Mayor (2021)
ignore the negatives
Come on guys, what are you all thinking you're watching? This is funny, so stop taking it so seriously. This show is definitely not a 1 or 2 star show. It's entertaining, enjoyable, and Ted Danson is fantastic. Turn your brain off and don't overthink what you're watching.. It's fun, and it's meant to be entertainment. And here is a tip: If you're not entertained, watch something else....
Ted Danson does a great job in everything. Bobby Moynihan is hilarious. The show is well done, and keeps me engaged. It's quirky, silly, and not meant to be taken too seriously. I hope you enjoy the way I do, with no strings attached.
