Mr. Malcolm's List (2022)

Sope Dirisu was an absolute dream

[10/10 · 7 August 2022]

This was a gem of a movie. It was a classic regency romance. Sope Dirisu is a perfect leading man with his talent and that winning smile. Freida Pinto was divine and Zawe Ashton was superb. I don't get the bad reviews. I'm very happy to see a beautiful diverse romance. I've watched many period pieces and this is now a favorite. Bravo! More please!

Colin in Black & White (2021)

Uncomfortable Truth

[10/10 · 2 November 2021]

If this series made you uncomfortable then Kapernick did his job as a story teller. This was a well done, thought provoking series. There were some relatable situations that I myself went through. I laughed and I cried. Bravo to Ava Durvenay and Colin Kaepernick the Executive Producer's. I ignored all the uncomfortable critics. I believe it is in poor taste for critics to comment if they have zero experience being black in America. I look forward to seeing a part two.

Respect (2021)

Beautiful Tribute to The Queen of Soul

[10/10 · 5 September 2021]

Ms. Franklin handpicked Jennifer Hudson and wow what a great job she did playing our queen. Marlon Wayans did an awesome job as the husband and manager. Forest Whitaker was brilliant in the role of her father. Titus's Burgess did a fine job as her friend Mr. Cleveland. This was an inspiring beautiful movie about my favorite singer. There will never be another Aretha Franklin she was one of a kind. Great movie.

Test Pattern (2019)

Rape Kits

[10/10 · 3 September 2021]

Some of these reviews are horrible. This is a thought provoking movie about the ramifications of rape and the process one has to go through get a rape kit in a hospital. A rape kit should be available in all hospitals. Rape happens more than anyone knows. If you live in a bubble and you have never been a victim or close to a victim of course this movie made zero sense to you. I'm glad they showed a caring man on the side of the victim. When a victim is raped, they have to live with it everyday and it affects all their relationships. I know so many people this has happened to. Good movie to share with teenagers to spark a conversation about sexual assault.

Riverdale (2017–2023)

New Spin on Archie and Josie and the Pussycats

[10/10 · 11 June 2021]

I read the comic books as a kid. What a great new spin on a old Classic. I don't get any of the reviews. I did not expect this to be like the comics. It's much better. I love the characters, the music and the familiar faces- Luke Perry, Skeet Alrich, and Robin Givens. Looking forward to season 6. Don't pay any attention to the reviews. It's a cute show.

The Vampire Diaries (2009–2017)

Bonnie

[6/10 · 10 June 2021]

Bonnie was my favorite character. She had chemistry with all of the male characters. She was beautiful and talented. Not sure why the writers didn't take advantage of that. I felt like they killed her way too much. I never understood why she and Damian never got together. Very disappointing. This is why I haven't watched the spin-offs. They didn't even bother giving Bonnie her own show.

When They See Us (2019)

Gut Wrenching.....A must see.

[10/10 · 7 June 2021]

I was a teenager when I heard about this story. It was shocking then that kids younger than myself were convicted of a crime without DNA evidence. It was gut wretching to watch and I shed so many years. I find some of the negative reviews ignorant. The former president made himself apart of this by placing an add in the NY Times. Fairstein and the police did a horrible job. Those kids were innocent.

Outside the Wire (2021)

Excellent Action Movie

[9/10 · 10 May 2021]

Anthony Mackie is an action star. I see great things ahead for Damson he did a great job too. Great action scenes and great cast. Can't wait for part two!!!

Without Remorse (II) (2021)

SUPERB ACTION MOVIE

[10/10 · 1 May 2021]

No there aren't any high ranking women in the Navy Seals. But there is in this movie! This was not MBJ's best. But I loved it. There were great actors involved, Guy Pierce, Colman Domingo, Jamie Bell and Jodie Turner Smith. The reviews should be ignored, they can't be fans of MBJ. This is a good action packed revenge movie. I would love to compare it to some of the worst actors who made film's like this, Tom Cruise, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham, Dolph Lindgren, and Jean Claude Van Damme. Most reviewers should stay away from the term Woke. It's in poor taste.

Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! (2021)

The Talented Mr. Fox......good to see you

[7/10 · 28 April 2021]

There are a lot of new comedy show's out here. I am not excited about many of them. But I am a huge fan of Jamie Fox and I am loving this. I love that he's got a lot of great comics on the show. I am over the moon about David Allen Grier being on the show too. The reviews are not very nice. It seems like Jamie won the Oscar, did a few films and the roles dried up. That's what happens to people of color in this business. So he went back to his tv roots.

Summertime (2020–2022)

Beautiful love stories

[10/10 · 24 April 2021]

Summer and Ale were a perfect match. Both actors were wonderful and they had great chemistry. What a beautiful Italian coast to fall in love in too. The music was great too. This was a well written show. I'm hoping there will be a few seasons. I don't get any of the negative ratings. Perhaps they have never seen an Italian movie or television show. If you've ever had memorable summers as a kid this is the movie for you.

Thunder Force (2021)

Super Cute Movie

[10/10 · 10 April 2021]

I loved it! Octavia and Melissa are really good together. It was a sweet girl power movie. Jason Bateman was hilarious. Taylor Mosby was adorable as the daughter. It's a cute little movie. I don't get any of the negative reviews. Movies are an escape. I would love a part 2.

Music (I) (2021)

Her first film

[7/10 · 27 February 2021]

I worked with many Autistic children and there are 5 types and there are many pervasive developmental disorders. I don't believe anyone gave Rain Man horrible reviews like this. Kate Hudson and Leslie Odom jr. were great. Sia created a decent film her first time out and this is her interpretation of autism.

Malcolm & Marie (2021)

A Beautiful Movie

[10/10 · 6 February 2021]

Great performances by Zendaya and John David Washington. Bravo for filming this during Covid 19. I felt like I was listening to a neighbors hour long fight but I could not turn away because it was brilliantly done and I wanted to know how it ended. I love this film. This film has classic written all over it. JDW is a brilliant actor, I have been a fan since Ballers. I hope these two do more movies together because this is wonderful. If you have ever had a long conversation or a fight with the one you love you will enjoy this movie. I found myself laughing at JDW when he was fighting while eating mac and cheese, and when he was having an argument with himself outside. I will watch this again. This is a classic, much like Whose Afraid of Virginia Wolf. Great job to Sam Levinson, this was a super meaty script. I loved it. More please!!!

Come Away (2020)

Beautiful Movie

[10/10 · 14 November 2020]

I adore a good fantasy movie. This was a beautiful, magical treasure of a film. David and Angelina were superb. The young actors did such a wonderful job as Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan. I don't get the negative ratings at all. It was a wonderful movie with great acting and a splendid cast of fine actors.

Love at Look Lodge (2020 TV Movie)

Hallmark great job

[8/10 · 28 September 2020]

This was a cute little movie. I'm glad to see diversity in a hallmark movie. It was a sweet love story. The couple's were cute. I'm not really understanding the negative comments. It was a typical Hallmark movie. Two people meet, and fall in love. It's not a major motion picture folks it's Hallmark. If you want oscar performances don't watch these movies.

American Son (2019)

Kerry Washington was superb

[10/10 · 10 January 2020]

Kerry is a great actress and I loved how she took on this character. This movie was well done. I ignored the negative comments. Great movie.

The Lion King (2019)

I LOVED THIS MOVIE

[10/10 · 18 August 2019]

I thought this movie was well done. The acting was superb. I do not understand the negative comments. This movie is beautiful.

Age of the Dragons (2011)

Great movie for dragon movie fans only.

[9/10 · 29 December 2018]

I liked this movie. I don't get any of the negative reviews. I assume they are not fans of dragon movies. Dungeons and Dragon's fan here. For the guy who actually said Danny Glover needed to pay rent......I am pretty sure he's rich and pays taxes on his home or homes. Plus he filmed it for 11 days because he had limited availability. The unknown actors did a great job and I enjoyed this film. If you love dragons watch this one.

Jingle Belle (2018 TV Movie)

A Great Holiday Movie

[10/10 · 30 November 2018]

This was such a sweet holiday movie. It made feel all warm and fuzzy for the upcoming holiday. I adored Tatiana's singing and loved seeing the all star cast. Lifetime make more movies like this!!!

Wrapped Up in Christmas (2017 TV Movie)

Sweet Christmas Movie

[8/10 · 25 November 2018]

I am a fan of Tatiana Ali and I was happy to see her in this sweet little Christmas movie/love story. It is similar to Hallmarks Christmas movies but this is apart of the Lifetime movie collection. I adored it, and I've added this to my Christmas movie collection to watch once a year. I hope to see more movies like this.
