A Simple Favor (2018)
At least it was something different
It wasn't the best movie I've ever seen and all the actors play roles they are typically type cast for. It was surprisingly funny though and honestly kind of enjoyable although super far fetched. At least it wasn't the same old recycled trash we've all been seeing lately.
Hereditary (2018)
Great for intelligent movie goers
The people writing bad reviews of this film must have really short attention spans and are looking for Freddie Krueger/Halloween type films. Yes, the movie goes several stretches withought having "jump" moments, but the people who are annoyed at this I feel may be looking for a different type of film. Every single one of the "jump" moments in this movie was well deserved-the drama and suspense was built up perfectly to create truly shocking moments. Another aspect of this film was the horror of the complicated family dynamics. If you aren't truly terrified by some of the things depicted in the movie, especially with Toni Collette's and Alex Wolff's amazing performances, then maybe you're not a parent. That being said, there are some parts of the plot that are left unexplained which was annoying and confusing. I would have to rewatch the movie to see if I can put those pieces together. Nevertheless, I left the theater feeling thoroughly freaked out.
Alexa & Katie (2018)
Not realistic at all and insulting
My children have been watching this show, but I find it cringe worthy. I have several friends and family members who have been through the horrible experience of childhood cancer. This show's concept is well intended but it's unrealistic to the point of being insulting to those who have gone through this experience. I mean, did they even consult anyone who knows about dealing with cancer?? On top of that, everyone's acting sucks. It's like they tried to make a Disney channel show, and oh, by the way, the girl has cancer. A show with this concept needs to first be a drama, then a comedy. Not the other way around. Because that's what the harsh reality is when you go through the experience.
