The Twilight Zone: Replay (2019) Season 1, Episode 3

Heavy handed political statement

[4/10 · 29 September 2019]

I was enjoying this episode until it became obvious that it's an unabashed black lives matter propaganda statement. "No matter what they will always come for us." I love and support black people, but this kind of rhetoric keeps us divided instead of bringing us together.

Venom (2018)

Loved it

[9/10 · 25 October 2018]

One of the best movies I've seen this year. I would highly recommend it. I want sure what to expect, knowing that Venom is typically a bad guy, but I was pleasantly surprised.

The Saratov Approach (2013)

Great, if you're religious

[9/10 · 21 August 2014]

I am a religious person, and also a Mormon (or, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints). I really liked this movie. Many of the reviews here are from people who obviously have an ax to grind against mormonism. If you don't like the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, then don't watch this movie! But, if you are an open minded Christian (or any religious person, for that matter) who would like to see an inspiring movie that is based on a true story, this movie is for you. Yes the film is a little preachy, so if that bothers you then steer clear.

The movie is a little slow at parts, but there is plenty of suspense. The main actors do a superb job, especially the Russians.
