This is a film from my childhood so it gets points for nostalgia alone.

The plot is super simple. There's a legend thst suggests that there's a dinosaur living in modern day Africa. A shady palentologist is willing to go to extremes to be the person to have made the discovery and capture a reality. Another scientist and her husband happen upon the discovery and will do what they can to protect the animals.

The scripting could use some work, the acting is okay but in my opinion, the animatronics are top notch for the time.

If you plan on watching it be aware there is nudity among the tribal people. Just a warning for those who may be sensitive or might not want their children exposed to it.

I say give it a go. It's no a blockbuster film but it's not garbage either.

I'd come across a lot of hype about this film and was looking forward to watching it. I, myself, am very interested in true crime so the idea of creating a thriller about someone who is into true crime seemed intriguing.

This film ended up being a boring watch for me. It started out great with opening arguments in the courtroom and an unease with our main character but the courtroom drama kinda falls to the wayside and while the main character stays off-putting, we never truly come to understand her nor are we given much reason to like her. During the course of the film we are introduced to a secondary character that, IMO, was far more interesting.

I guess I can see why some people found the film interesting. We're talking about snuff films, the dark web and crypto currency and all of it feels dirty and taboo but I think I'd prefer something like "8mm" with Nicholas Cage and Joquain Phoenix to this anyday.

At the time I'm writing this, the film currently has four 10 Star written reviews and an overall rating of 2.4 Stars. While, IMO, the 10 Star reviews are being overly generous, I do not think that the film is being fairly judged by the 2.4 Star overall rating.

The film has an interesting concept and the main themes deal with spirits, possession, cursed marks, sigils and shamanism that are derived from Nigerian beliefs. You're given a limited, basic understanding of these beliefs and they are just enough to sorta guide you through the film.

The actors weren't overly impressive but they weren't bad either. After the first five minutes or so, the film has a rough, slow start to it but picks up towards the end and becomes a bit more interesting and engaging. Some of the special effects were decent and others were mediocre CGI.

I'm not gonna say it was awful because it held my interest but I cannot deny that I wanted it to give more than it did. It is lacking something special but I can't pinpoint what it needs.

I would say that if you're a fan of films about spirits and possession, you might find something different and interesting by watching this. However, if you are looking for something that guarantees you will have chills and thrills you might be a bit disappointed. If you plan on watching it, watch it for the concept not the horror aspect.

This is a quirky, sweet, chivalrous adventure made by three rouge monster killing travelers and young girl who believes they are the warriors that will take down a vicious world gobbling dragon.

First let's talk about how visually enthralling the animation is. The world design made me think of Avatar. It's unusually captivating and such interesting settings are great for drawing in the viewer.

Secondly, the monsters and other creatures. Many are fascinating in their physical attributes, movements and abilities.

Next, the characters. Each of our main characters are fun to watch, have humorous banter, great energy and interesting storylines.

Last, the story. The story does a good job holding my attention and made for a great watch.

I'm so glad I came across this and sorta wonder how I've not heard about it before now. It was well worth the watch and proves itself to be a real hidden gem. I totally recommend it.

Ping is an orphan girl living with a servant woman tasked with feeding the "Honored Guests" living under her master's care. The "Honored Guests" are actually the last two imperial dragons along with their unhatched egg.

Ping learns that she has the power to control qi or chi which makes her a dragon keeper and she is destined to be the person to take the last remaining egg to a special birthing pool to hatch. To achieve this goal she will need the help of her dragon friend, Danzi, and her mouse friend, Hua Hua, to retrieve the stolen egg.

Ping will have to overcome the sickly Emperor, who wants the egg's qi to heal his illness, and the evil necromancer, Diao, who wants to steal the egg's qi to become an immortal god.

I enjoyed this film very much although I did think that some of the subject matter might be confusing to a child. It's beautifully animated but it was lacking a little something that I just can't put my finger on. My biggest complaint is that it simply didn't feel complete. The film seemed to leave a lot of questions unanswered and feels as though there must be a sequel in the works but I couldn't confirm my suspicion.

Glad I came across it and I hope they are planning to make a sequel simply because I feel there should be more to Ping, Danzi, Hua Hua and Kai's story. I would definitely watch it.

On November 30, 2021, Ethan Crumbley, 15, took a 9mm semi-automatic handgun into Oxford High School, located in Oxford Township, Michigan, and proceeded to murder four students and further injure another six students and one teacher. Ethan's parents, James and Jennifer Crumbley, would become the first parents in US history to be charged with involuntary manslaughter through gross negligence. They would be found guilty and sentenced for their crimes.

The Crumbley's were essentially held liable for having bought their son a gun, taken him to a practice firing range, leaving the gun easily accessible and after receiving warning from the school's guidance counselor as to their child's disturbing mental state, not having taken the steps to insure that Ethan wouldn't be posing a threat to fellow students. These events took place four days prior to and on the day of the shooting.

The Crumbley's had notice of and ignored Ethan's declining mental state, knew they bought a gun for him with money he provided them and although they weren't legally required to keep the gun in a lock box, failed to keep the gun secure. This gross negligence resulted in aiding and abetting conduct that facilitated Ethan's act and made them involuntarily complicit to the crimes he committed.

This was not a case that centered on gun rights (although some would wonder why a 15 year old would NEED a 9mm handgun) but rather, it focused on parental responsibility. It is the job of parents to keep their children safe but it is not limited to their child alone. As parents, there is a responsibility to address a deteriorating mental and emotional mindset as well as physical access to dangerous weaponry their child could use to endanger others.

This was a landmark case that required the jury use common sense to assign a definition to "gross negligence".

The case is tragic and an all too familiar scenario that leaves families, communities and educational institutions scarred with grief. One can only hope this will encourage parents to be more present, mindful and diligent when it comes to warning signs, hints of trouble brewing within the hearts and minds of their children and taking the steps needed to ensure safety for other children as well as their own.

The documentary was interesting and well worth a watch.

Fantasy horror is easily hit or miss. This dark fairytale genre works with this if you take it as it is and don't expect more.

Things I really appreciated is just how well the film was shot, the practical effects and the beautiful scenery. It has all the gloss of a well produced film and the acting wasn't bad. The creature designs were interesting, thought out and very practical so the realistic aspect was nice. The scenery shots were beautiful and since it's so well produced, it was captivating. The story wasn't bad as it held my attention, but would have benefited from more discussion about the creatures and their lore.

I found it surprisingly good and I don't have a problem recommending this creature feature for horror fans that like creature, mythological, folklore or fantasy horror. It isn't perfect, but it is worth a watch if you don't take it too seriously.

Not a bad series. I understand it is a remake of a British series and maybe I'll get around to checking it out at some point.

This doesn't top my favorite, The Originals, but it has an interesting cast of characters and the storyline kept me watching. Some of the scripting could have been written better to avoid falling into repetition but since the one character I had a problem with in this regard is meant to be driven by endless worry and nearly uncontrolled anxiety, I'll let it slide.

If you're a fan of series that are based on supernatural worlds, this should be on your watch list. So, check it out.

Sorta went into this blind but Kumari turned out to be a great watch for me.

Let's talk plot.

Eons ago, a goddess that came to earth and found herself so fascinated by the world, she chose to remain on earth.

She subsequently falls in love with a human and gives birth to two children, Chathan and Gari Devan. The children were disfigured, looked nothing like humans or gods but had great powers. When their fighting began destroying earth, the goddess subdued them by limiting Chathan's presence to the mountainous forest, Gari Devan's to the underground and returned to her otherworldly home. Humans come to realize their powers and begin worshiping the demi-gods.

Kumari is a young woman who leaves home by way of arranged marriage. Her husband is the lonely, disappointing second born son of the village lord and 12th generation descendent of an evil lord who killed a forest child that Chathan was fond of. Chathan seeks revenge for the child's death by cursing the entire village. To rescue the village and more importantly, maintain his power, the evil lord calls upon Gari Devan to lift the curse. The price this salvation called for was the sacrificing of the lord's firstborn child and to maintain it every 12th generation would have to make the same sacrifice.

When the elder son fails to produce offspring and Kumari falls pregnant, the husband gets the future lordship and the power goes to his head. Kumari learns of the plans to sacrifice her baby and has to find a way to save her child.

So, yeah, I thought this was a good film. The pace was good, it held interest and the practical effects were well done. The second act of the film was lacking something. Maybe it was simply the dialogue but the story was a little muddled at times. Otherwise, no complaints here. I say give it a look if fantasy bordering on fairytales is your thing, check it out.

A chance meeting on the way to an airport turns into a more inauspucious encounter.

It seems as though many people either really like this or they really hated it. While I can understand a few complaints, I'm grouped with the likes.

This is a psychological thriller that held my interest well. If a film can do that, it's already doing well with me. The characters are not overly interesting at first glance but the dialogue and actor portrayal manages to build steady intrigue. The gloomy, cold atmosphere and apprehensive tone creates subtle suspense that drives the pace forward nicely.

It won't be to everyone's taste but if you like a slow, steady thriller this may fit you.

South Korea has really carved out a place for themselves when it comes to making suspenseful thrillers and this film slides nicely into that niche.

After coming home to find his wife murdered and his best friend subsequently arrested for the crime, a man sets out to find out the truth of the matter. The best friend's wife is also on a mission to see her husband set free and is desperate for the man to speak up and clear her husband's name. The truth may set them all free from their torment or it could reveal things they'd rather not know.

The film is well constructed and moves along at a steady pace keeping the viewer engaged. The actors are all skilled and portray their characters with realistic emotion and drive. The plot is not a new but the ride is still interesting and thought provoking. The suspense builds nicely throughout.

I'd recommend this to people who like a decent whodunnit. It will have you guessing and trying to work things out and you may even figure things out before the reveal. I did but I still enjoyed the film.

Disappeared is one of, if not THE, best true crime shows out there. Too many people go missing leaving little to no trace behind them. It's hard to not leave a trace of yourself in our world today with the amount of technology we are exposed to and use on a daily basis. Dead or alive, the remains of these individuals are somewhere.

The heartbreak the families suffer from their loss is unthinkable. When someone passes, it's heartbreaking but you know what happened or how they passed and their remains are with you. All the questions and the not knowing must be torturous for those who never receive those answers.

There's no excuse to ever see this show canceled considering the number of people who go missing today. Every case is deserving of coverage and recognition. This show is a public service for the people left behind and should be offered to everyone. If it was your loved one, you'd want this coverage. NEVER CANCEL THIS SHOW!

This is a review of the first episode that focuses on Terrance Williams and this episode that focuses on both Terrance and Felipe Santos.

I first learned of this case while watching ID's Disappeared (Season 3 Episode 5 "Crime and Punishment" which originally aired on Jan 23, 2012.). Missing person cases have always drawn my interest and empathy so I've researched, watched many videos and listened to podcasts. I tend to be more interested in the cases that aren't well know because I see them as no less deserving despite the lack of coverage given to higher profiled cases. I am especially sensitive to the cases of people of color as they seem to be overlooked in many regards. I find it appalling.

Terrance and Felipe's cases are some of the most disturbing I've come across considering they vanished while in the company of a Deputy. My father was in law enforcement and I feel that when you swear an oath to serve and protect you place yourself in a position that demands the utmost integrity and diligence. When you fail to uphold these virtues, you tarnish more than yourself alone. You tarnish law enforcement as a whole and rob other officers of those virtues in the eyes of the public. Deputy Calkins exceeds being a prime example of such negligence by becoming someone the public should absolutely fear. It's my belief that he knows exactly what happened these men and is deserving of a life behind bars. He should never wear a badge again.

I am of the opinion that law enforcement recruits need to be better vetted. Prejudices have no place in the enforcement of the law. It doens't matter the color of your skin or the level of your income. Lady Justice is blind so if you are a human being, you deserve equal rights under the law. I'm sad to say that there is much work that needs to be done. I find myself in the awkward position of supporting both Black and Blue Lives Matter. What we lack is peace, understanding, compassion, empathy and equal entitlement.

I feel for the Williams and Santos families. Their heartbreak is unfathomable. Nothing could ever replace what they have lost in terms of their missing loved ones nor in terms of their respect, faith and security they've lost in law enforcement. It's such a shame because there are far more well intended officers than there are bad. It's like the saying "It takes 1000 'good job' attaboys to replace 1 'you failed miserably,' misdeed."

I believe it's fairly obvious these young men were victims of homicide and thoughtfully discarded. It's such a tragedy to keep the families from the closure they deserve. I pray they'll one day have the opportunity to lay their loved ones to rest properly and see justice served.

Shamanistic rituals, curses, folklore, history, feng shui, omens, grave digging, ghosts, demonic beings and a built in sequel to the original story. This film has it all.

The initial plot of this film revolves around a group of spiritualists trying to save a baby from a curse that is plaguing the first born sons of a prosperous bloodline. This could be a stand alone storyline but just when you think the story has come full circle, we are introduced to a follow-up storyline that delves deeper into causation. It is quite a ride.

The film was a bit muddled for me as a lay person simply because I lack knowledge regarding some of it's Korean cultural and spiritualistic aspects. I would've liked things to have been slowed down a bit and better explained but the film is already a bit long. I would've liked it to been two movies so that would've been ample time to dive deeper and provide better insight for me.

That being said, the atmosphere is well constructed, dark and really compliments the story. It felt really foreboding at times. The actors were all well seasoned and the effects were immersive and captivating.

I really enjoyed it so if you like Asian horror, you should definitely check it out.

When black, indigenous, hispanic, asian and middle eastern women go missing they are not seen as a priority. This documentary takes a closer look at how prevalent the problem is among black women and girls who are seen as targets by predators and dismissive by law enforcement, media and larger community.

The statistics indicate that nearly 40% of women and girls reported missing are black. Studies into trafficking have revealed that predators feel more confident in grooming and/or abducting women of color because they are less likely to garner the attention of law enforcement and media, making their criminal activity easier and in turn, more profitable.

The missing women who aren't abducted or groomed into trafficking or prostitution turn out to be victims of homicide often at the hands of their partners. More than half of all black women report experience violence at the hands of their intimate partner.

There are movements being made and actions being taken to bring more attention and resources to this problem but in all honesty, it's still not good enough.

The following are just some of my thoughts on the matter.

I think that strong, beautiful black women are admirable. Many times they are women who struggle with issues like being a single parent and having to overcome the discrimination they face being both a woman and black in the workforce and society. This is something that should be celebrated but there are far too many negative labels being placed on them and these wonderful aspects of black women are often drowned out.

The label of an "angry black woman" has stolen from a black woman's loving, nurturing and compassionate nature. The degrading of black women in music and videos by labeling them as "THOT's", focusing on their sexuality, their bodies and making them seem expendable has stolen from their grace, beauty and value.

Society, as a whole, should stop placing such labels on black women so the perspective of their worth can shift. They do not deserve such degradation. No woman does.

The entire situation is unfair. More attention should be focused on this problem. Every woman matters.

Although the wheels of change are excruciatingly slow, I am glad to see that progress is being made. Check out this documentary and do your part in becoming more aware.

We all know that lie detector tests are not admissible in a court of law but IMO, they are a tool that can be used to indicate whether someone is uncomfortable with the questions posed and the answers they give due to the physiology behind fight or flight responses to perceived threats.

Casey Anthony is a known pathological liar. She was, in fact, charged and found guilty of four misdemeanor counts of providing false information to law enforcement. False information=lies.

The thing that most compels my belief that she is responsible for Caylee's death is her absent pursuit for justice. If her father was responsible, why has Casey not demanded justice for her baby?

The Anthony's willingness to go to great lengths to prove their integrity is commendable. These people have been run through the wringer all these years and the toll it has taken on their lives is undoubtedly tremendous.

There is a moment where George Anthony struggles with a question about whether he knew where Caylee was or if he took part in concealing her death. It makes him seem as though he was trying to hide something. It can easily be construed as a guilty conscience but I do not believe that it was due to him knowing where Caylee was or if he took part in concealing her death. I think it was due to a sense of guilt and blame he has placed on himself for not keeping Caylee safe and not being the one to have found her sooner. Just my opinion.

I feel sorry for these people.

I have no doubt that they loved Casey but they have suffered and lost their grandchild at her hands. They have also been defamed, used as a scapegoats and harassed due to her lies.

Everyone has the right to come to their own conclusions on the matter but I believe the Anthony's are innocent. I'd love to see Casey Anthony willingly submit to a lie detector test and see if she would do as well as her parents did.

If you're into creepy, supernatural conundrums, this is a show that may please your palate.

This is a review for the entire series and I, like many of the other reviewers, believe that it's a fairly decent watch with the exception of season 2 being less than impressive.

Plot Summary: A family is trapped in the throes of grief, guilt, delusion and enablement stemming from the accidental death of a baby while in the mother's care. The mom, who suffered a mental breakdown in the devastating aftermath, has blocked the memory and now believes that a creepy reborn doll is her child. Her husband and brother have chosen to enable this delusion out of fear for her mental health.

Dad is a successful consultant and experimental chef who works out of the home but when mom, a news field reporter, is ready to return to work, they decide to hire a live-in nanny to help care for the "baby". When the nanny arrives, she's not phased by the odd circumstances but instead embraces it and soon her presence changes the dynamics of the situation when the is doll miraculously transformed into a living baby.

The show does an excellent job of drawing you into the drama of the heartbreak and desire to understand the hows and whys of the situation. The overall atmosphere is gloomy. You automatically get the feeling that things just aren't right and soon everything feels downright sinister.

The pacing of the show is rather slow and somewhat frustrating. Just when you think an episode is going to reveal answers, it ends with a new cliffhanger but it makes you want to see the next one.

The four main actors are well seasoned and embody their characters making the watch that much more enjoyable.

I'd recommend this to people who enjoy a supernatural mystery but would express caution about the pacing and encourage patience that will allow the show to reveal itself. I think the show is a solid 6.5 star experience.

I've watched countless documentaries on the JFK assassination but this one stands unique among them all.

I've never really chosen between the single shooter and second shooter theories because I've always felt that each argument was plausible. I've also never considered the Parkland doctors or how they assessed Kennedy when he arrived at the hospital. This has made me believe that there were two shooters and it has made me wonder why the handling of the body seems so shady.

If you have an interest in President Kennedy's assassination, you should check this out. It's mindful, well-made and will have you asking why the government made the decision to handle certain things the way they did. It's worth the watch.

I really enjoyed this documentary. Milli Vanilli was part of my early teen years and I loved their music. The scandal that took them down has been one of the biggest controversies in music history. In all honesty, they were used to make a lot of wealthy people even more money and then they were used to cover and take all the heat off those same people. Rob Pilatus and Fabrice Morvan could not have done all they did without approval from the higher ups being in on all of it.

I've always thought the ill treatment shown to Rob and Fab was a bit misplaced. We've seen how other artists have been treated by producers, managers and labels. They live to make money off of the talent of others. Their contracts, decisions and exploitation can be criminal.

I don't doubt that Rob and Fab wanted to sing their own music but the contract made with their producer was signed before it was revealed that they would be lip syncing. Breach of contract and financial debt was the threat they faced for not complying with the producers plan. I understand why they did it and I understand that the intoxicating effects of fame, adoration and money kept them from coming clean.

The powers that be did the musicians, backup singers, lead vocalists, Rob, Fab and the fans dirty.

If you think you know the story or are just interested in learning about what happened, watch this. It is so worth the time. While Rob's death was tragic, I'm glad to see that Fab is still involved in music. Very good documentary.

Personally, I loved this film.

When Okju finds her friend deceased along side a note begging for her to seek revenge on those who caused her suicidal mindset, she sets out on a course to honor the request.

If you like movies like Kill Bill, John Wick, Equalizer or Nobody, this is a film that slides into the same genre of fast paced action films. The choreography is well done and the actors portrayed their roles well.

I did think that it slowed a bit in the middle of the film and it had a lot of flashback scenes that I believe would've played out better as real-time experiences simply for the fact that it would gave a better sense of who the characters were. I also thought that we were given a bit too many vague generalities that could've used better descriptions and aided in character development.

Despite my few quirks, I still enjoyed this badass girl-power movie. I don't know if they were teasing it or not but I hope they make a sequel.

Watching this after Betty's passing has made it all the more touching for me. She had such a brilliant career, was admired for her friendliness and work ethic and unashamedly adored animals.

While enjoyable, the documentary was short. I would've loved to have heard more about her personal life and just got to know her a little better in that regard. Since I am a HUGE Golden Girls fan and see it as a crowning achievement in comedy, I would've also loved to heard her, along with the rest of the cast, take on their time together. It would've also been nice to known more about her work with animals since she seemed to hold them so close to her heart and they were so very special to her.

The compiled archive of Betty's professional accomplishments is vast, undeniable, speaks volumes of her talent, charm and wit and this documentary gave us a short look directly at it. While I suppose one should expect such a direct focus considering the title is "Betty White: FIRST LADY OF TELEVISION" (i.e. Betty White: Her Lifelong Profession), I won't deny that I'm slightly disappointed that we didn't get to see more about Betty White: The Woman. She was so much more than her career and I would've simply loved to have seen more about that aspect of her life.

Thanks to Betty for leaving us with the body of work she left behind allowing us to always find something to laugh about. It was quite the mark she left on this world and the world is a better place because of it.

Much Love Betty RIP.

A film about a monster that can be called upon when backwoods folk feel they need vengeance after having been grievously wronged, Pumpkinhead has never got the acknowledgement that it truly deserves.

The story is simplistic and easy enough to understand which is a bit cookie cutter but great nonetheless. It's not drawn out and everything moves at a great pace. The actors are absolutely decent with Lance Henriksen playing Ed Harley the distraught father and best known for his role as the artificial human/robot, Bishop, in Aliens (1986). What is super great IMO are the practical effects that, while dated, still look really good today.

It's understandable that this film was overlooked seeing as how 1988 was a pretty big year for horror. Michael Myers made a comeback, we got our first introduction to Chucky and Jason made his 7th appearance. Hellraiser II, The Serpent and the Rainbow, Poltergeist III all came out with Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master being the highest grossing film in the genre. (Unless you count Bettlejuice as horror rather than comedy.) It really was up against some tough competition.

If you're a horror fan, Pumpkinhead should be on your watched list. The franchise went on to produce three additional films but they were only so-so and couldn't match the original. I don't mind suggesting this to friends or giving my fellow horror fans that have yet to add it to their watched list a hard time about it. It's simply a monster must watch.

A socially anxious and seemingly outcast girl lives alone and experiences an alien home invasion.

I had such hopes for this after seeing the trailer. It looked like it was going to be a creepy alien horror film. It had some creepy moments but I won't deny that I feel let down and little "Catfished" by the trailer.

There are two plot lines going on here. One is the alien invasion and the second has to do with the guilt she feels and her separation from society due to the untimely death of a friend. I wished they would've stuck to the alien invasion alone because the subplot became tedious.

Some of the special effects were decent and others were fairly obvious CGI work and lacked realism. There was little to no dialogue and felt a little like watching a low budget version of "A Quiet Place". You have to pay attention.

The film takes a strange turn towards the ending and made me look at the screen sideways. While I think I get it, I can't be sure I understand the meaning of the ending and, as a horror buff, I just wasn't very impressed.

It started out so good though. I'd give the first 45-60 minutes 7 Stars and the second 45-30 minutes nose-dived to 3 Stars. That's where my 5 Star rating comes from.

A runaway bride has to fight off the groomsmen that come chasing after her.

The problem with this film is a lack of detail regarding the sub plot for bride and groom. We don't understand their relationship, the relationship they share with their "friends" or the relationship with their employer. You've watched nearly the entire film before things have started to come together well.

I will give the film credit for the stunt/action scenes, the poster art (even though it bugs me that the dress on the poster isn't the dress worn in the film (Don't ask me why it bothers me. It just does! OK.)) and the soundtrack. Some of the special effects were questionable and the supporting characters didn't bring much to the table. For me, I just couldn't get into caring about what was happening to the characters. They were bland, uninteresting and simply fodder for the kill scenes.

I had higher hopes coming into this so I'm a bit bummed out. I'm not sure that I'd suggest it to friends or even watch it again. If I had to choose between this and Ready or Not, I would choose Ready or Not over and over again.

I love a good gothic film and this film delivers with a hauntingly beautiful carrack, a damsel in distress found as a stowaway, nightmares, awful weather, suspense, the company of death, a conflicted male protagonist and the cursed one, Dracula. It checks off every requirement in the gothic handbook.

While it has all the elements needed and I did enjoy the film, it isn't without faults. The acting was good but the characters portrayed lacked depth. We just don't know much about any of the characters and I would've liked to have known more. Being able to invest in the characters helps create anxiety about their well being.

I was also a bit bummed out because there wasn't much discussion about who Dracula is. Its sorta skimmed over and for me, that was a mistake. Scare me with stories of his atrocities. I thought his "creature" design was a great reference of homage to the classic Nosferatu with a few extra touches thrown in.

Overall, I had a good time watching this and I hope they choose to make a sequel.
