Rebecca (2020)
Not Bad for A Free Watch, but...
Editing/pacing was strange; very choppy. Armie Hammer was not mature enough to portray Maxim De Winter. Kristin Scott Thomas and Keely Hawes do not much resemble each other in real life but their characters in the film resembled each other way too much. Some odd directorial and storyline choices, neither adhering to any of the previous film adaptations, nor to the novel. Glossed over many important parts, including the turning point of the story...like commenting on the consistency of the morning porridge...as well as missing some great opportunities. The last 20 minutes was so rushed and disjointed as to be just silly. Definitely not of the same caliber as the Hitchcock interpretation nor of the same gothic weight as the novel.
A Haunting on Dice Road: The Hell House (2016)
Entertaining but dubious
The feature does an excellent job of presenting genuine historical facts and current interviews with those who have been involved with the case over the years, all of which seem honest in at least believing that their experiences were genuine. However, much of the video taken during the film maker's investigation does not seem genuine, and reads as staged/fraud/hoax. It's unfortunate when "investigators" muddy the facts of cases like this with trickery in an obvious attempt to improve their marketability and profit.
Wild (2014)
Has become one of my favorites
I've watched about six times. Doesn't get old for me. As others have mentioned, some people will identify and some will not. I think that anyone into hiking or camping will at least get a laugh or two. Lost my mother recently so I understand how it can drive you down an unexpected fork in the road. Everything but the hard drug use hits home for me, so...
