Evil Lives Here (2016)
Dear family members
I've always wondered what family members of such horrors went through. I'm so sorry for most of these people. But there are a few that are totally delusional. Most of them are indeed victims. While I do watch many reality crime shows, this one hurts my heart. The young man whose cousin killed his wife was heart-rending. One episode I had to fast-forward through because I couldn't listen to the young man tell the story of how his step-mom trick him into killing his father. My heart hurt for him. Then there's the woman whose three sons are murdered by their father. I have no words for her pain. Too many of these stories show how we need to have more empathy because you don't know how we each would deal with such a horrific situation. Over and over some these women said they would look at situations before this and say "here's what I would do". Then found themselves in the situation and were paralyzed with fear. Don't judge! You don't know what you would do until you live it. Don't judge them!
A Quiet Place (2018)
Too many questions
I wanted to like movie. I watched it 4 times before doing this review. I love alien movies. So I wanted this one to be great. Instead, like many, I was left with "why was the director so inept. Didn't he realize we'd see through this? These aliens are blind and cannot swim. Easy fix. Keep very quiet, don't run, walk, stay close to or in the water. Then make plans. Why was this hard? Could have had lots more fun with this movie. Someone should have asked more questions before filming this movie. Finding out dog whistles would work against them would take us on a really wild ride! I hope someone rewrites this the right way!
Blindspot (2015)
I wanted to live it
The premise of this story caught my attention. But the reality of it was a great let down. I watched all the way to the end and was left depressed. It was over the top too violent to begin with. The chemistry between the main characters went stale at some point which was unfortunate since I had so much hope for them. Why didn't the writers want a truly happy ending? Afterall that it just wasn't worth it. Though I admit some will watch and believe it did end happily.
Besides, while Sullivan was great eye candy, Jaimie kept reminding me of Courtney Cox. "Loved 'Patterson and Rich'. 'Tasha' was just plain annoying ". All the back and forth between she and 'Edgar' made me nauseous". The storyline kept deteriorating as time went on to its dismal end.
Sorry, but I'm glad it ended.
Erkenci Kus (2018)
Drama, Drama, Drama
I watched this story with fascinated interest in Can Yaman. The story was full of laughter for the fist 16-17 hours. Then became painful. After that I had to watch the ending and work backwards do to frustration I had with the storyline. I'm not a fan of drama, nor romance. The main characters were nonsensical. The heroine ss a liar from the beginning and the hero hates liars and doesn't forgive, yet pursues her all the same till he gets to a lie he decides is somehow a betrayal ignoring the multiple lies he knows she already told.
How does it end? I'm not going to give that away. Watch for yourself. In the end I hated this story. It could have been quite beautiful if the writers had put more thought in their main characters.

Dark Matter (2015)
Shame On You
This show should NOT have been canceled. Period! Bring it back. This was even worse than canceling Farscape. And I'll never forgive that one!
Beauty and the Beast (2012)
Could have been better
I love the premise of this story. But found myself irritated with some aspects of it. Cat was too flaky and emotional to be believable as a cop. Why wasn't Vincent used as a CI to help keep him hidden? Why was "lying" used to build so much suspicion between characters? Vincent was way too impulsive to not be caught earlier. The story line was great but the love story didn't give enough time to really develop deeper. For a character to be hiding why didn't Vincent use more disguises. He was far too visible too early. And that was just the 1st season. 2nd season Cat was delusional and a dingbat, especially for a detective. I think if this show had been built up more as a detective show it could have been more engaging. Unless all you were interested is was attracting 18 and younger audiences. I'm 63 and watching this on Netflix. The wedding episodes were so botched they were ridiculous. You could have done them without Vincent being "photographed" at all. Why keep playing into Heather's curiosity? Why did Cat have to keep apologizing for other people's stupidity? All the "lying" just wasn't called for.
Making a Murderer (2015)
What about His Civil Rights?
I do not understand why the Prosecutors are fussing. The information is based on THEIR evidence. Which to me looks like a set-up. This is the most horrendous miscarriage of justice I have seen. Disgusting! If these people call themselves "god-fearing" I hope God will judge them harshly for their hatefulness. I am glad the Netflix saw the need to bring this out in the open. So much of our society, who call them "Christian" are, themselves, persecuting the poor who, in particular. Jesus died for. People like Steven Avery would have a person would have helped!!! But today the people with the power are doing the most damage to ones most vulnerable. Steven Avery and his nephew are not highly educated, do not know their rights, and are most easily manipulated. They are prey in the hands of those with power. Wisconsin Should Be Ashamed!!!
Skyline (2010)
Skyline
I am sorry I did not see this in the Theater. It is one of those movies I should have seen on the big screen. I understand why many people did not like the movie, but I agree with the first review on this site. The movie was unexpected. and I have grown tired of the humans always winning when they are completely out-gunned and out out-teched. It is about time someone got real with imagination of the "what if" scenario. Though I do not believe in such alien being in reality, sci fi is fun. It is fun to imagine a way-out "what if they did exist". I rented it in the end and watched it several times. it got to be more fun the more I watched it. I hated cloverfield because I did not enjoy watching two hours of a movie "thru a straw". Irritating. This movie was what I had expected of Cloverfield, it did not deliver!!! Skyline brought Cloverfield to life. Thank you!!!! now I have to buy it!!!!
