Such a fun watch!!!

A Dry White Season (1989)
ShugarCat 3 points 1 year ago.

A very powerful watch that will linger in the back of ones mind for a while. It is well written, as well as acted, and directed. Definitely worth the watch.

Mars Attacks! (1996)
ShugarCat 3 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

What a hoot! A totally fun watch with a great cast and a fun script.

Into the Woods (2014)
ShugarCat 3 points 1 year ago.

Its interesting how they intertwined the fairy tales. And the cast is top notch but, this plays more like an opera. Too much singing can be a bad thing … over kill. Its not something I will re-watch.

Marvel's Jessica Jones (2015)
ShugarCat 3 points 4 years ago.

I am sorry to see this series end. It was an enjoyable watch from start to finish. Season 1 was my favorite, Season 2 is good and Season 3 was a different pace from the first two seasons but that is probably cause they were wrapping the series up. Overall I would give it 7/10.

Braven (2018)
ShugarCat 3 points 4 years ago.

Definitely don’t pass up this film. Steady action and a good story line. Jason Momoa (Aquaman) is great in his role, as is Garret Dillahunt (Deadwood} I have watched this twice and I will watch it a several times more I’m sure.

Underbelly (2008)
ShugarCat 3 points 5 years ago*.

This is a great series. It tells the history of the Australian underworld from both the criminal and law enforcement perspective. Based on true events each season is excellent! The acting, the writing and the directing are all top notch. Highly recommended watch.

Season 1: War on the Streets 1995-2004
Season 2: A tale of 2 Cities 1976-1987
Season 3: The Golden Mile 1988-1999
Season 4: Razor 1927-1936
Season 5: Badness 2001-2012
Season 6: Squizzy 1915-?

The names have not been changed to protect the innocent.

Again … HIGHLY recommended watch.

RED (2010)
ShugarCat 3 points 3 years ago.

A great watch. The chemistry between the cast members comes across very strong in this film and all the actors are great in their roles. The story is well told and the writing is good.

Overcomer (2019)
ShugarCat 3 points 3 years ago.

This was so much better than I had anticipated. Well worth the watch

The Breakfast Club (1985)
ShugarCat 3 points 3 years ago.

This is a great watch. A classic in its time. It is extremely well produced. The story, writing, directing and acting are all exceptional. If you have not seen this film, take the time to view it. You wont be sorry.

Weekend at Bernie's (1989)
ShugarCat 3 points 3 years ago.

This was a first time watch for me. I loved it! Terry Kiser does an awesome job in his role as Bernie. Lots of great knee slapping laughs. A must see. Now on to the sequel.

Wine Country (2019)
ShugarCat 3 points 3 years ago.

Totally enjoyable way to pass the time. Wonderful cast, good story, lots of laughs.

Where the Red Fern Grows (1974)
ShugarCat 3 points 5 years ago.

Exceptionally good film. Everyone should take the time to watch this film at least once.

The Last of the Mohicans (1992)
ShugarCat 3 points 4 years ago.

An absolutely brilliant film. Daniel Day-Lewis gives an awesome performance in his role, along with the rest of the cast who are all super in their roles. This picture is beautifully written and shot. It is a MUST SEE film.

Old Dogs (2009)
ShugarCat 3 points 3 years ago.

I loved it! Great story, good performances by both Travolta and Williams, it was a very enjoyable watch and worthy of a re-watch down the road.

Life (2017)
ShugarCat 3 points 3 years ago.

An extremely good watch! This film draws you in real fast and its non-stop fast moving ride right till the end. Good story, well written, the actors all do a terrific job, including Kelvin; its well produced. Definitely worth a watch or six.

Divergent (2014)
ShugarCat 3 points 3 years ago.

First in a trilogy that entertains, this film is well worth the watch. Make sure to follow with Insurgent then finish off with Allegiant to get the full story. Again, it’s worth the watch

Tom & Jerry (2021)
ShugarCat 3 points 3 years ago.

I loved it, a thoroughly enjoyable watch! I grew up watching Tom and Jerry … This film sent me back to a wonderful trip down memory lane.

The Outsiders (1983)
ShugarCat 3 points 3 years ago.

What an outstanding cast! This film is well written, acted, and directed. Overall an excellent production and an extremely good watch.

The Man in the High Castle (2015)
ShugarCat 3 points 3 years ago.

This is a very well done series. The cast is top notch and do a great job. The story unfolds in a timely manner with very few slow dry spots. Every episode draws you in more and more. This is a binge worthy series. However, watching season 4 with no English subtitles took away form the experience. The series actually has a really good ending and its a pity more than half of it is lost due to no subs.

Palm Springs (2020)
ShugarCat 3 points 3 years ago.

An enjoyable fun watch, lots of giggles and a good story.

6 Underground (2019)
ShugarCat 3 points 3 years ago.

I really enjoyed this one, more so on the second viewing. Its not perfect production wise, but it has high entertainment value, which is why I am about to have my 3rd re-watch.

48 Hrs. (1982)
ShugarCat 3 points 3 years ago.

One of the best early 80’s action/comedies produced. If you have never seen this film, do take the time to have a watch. Its doubtful you will regret it. If you have seen it before … time for a re-watch?

The Rainmaker (1997)
ShugarCat 3 points 3 years ago.

Great watch. Grisham novels brought to the big screen never disappoint. This film is no exception. If you haven’t seen it give it a view, it will be worth your time and keep you entertained.

Grand-Daddy Day Care (2019)
ShugarCat 3 points 3 years ago.

Great cast, loads of laughs, and a good story. A very entertaining watch.

3 Men and a Baby (1987)
ShugarCat 3 points 3 years ago.

Great cast in a classic 80’s comedy. An enjoyable and fun watch.

Short Circuit (1986)
Geogenesis 6 points 3 years ago.

thanks for making a comment. I was thinking about which movie to watch when I saw your comment. Totally forgot about this classic!

ShugarCat 3 points 3 years ago.

You are welcome, I hope it is all you remembered it be.

Upgrade (2018)
ShugarCat 3 points 3 years ago.

This extremely well done production is solid entertainment at its best.

White Boy Rick (2018)
ShugarCat 4 points 5 years ago.

Talk about getting used then kicked to the curb like yesterdays trash! The system is definitely broken!!!

The Book of Daniel (2013)
ShugarCat 4 points 5 years ago.

A good interpretation of what is written in the bible … Not Hollywood at all. The cast did a good job and the script stayed true.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)
ShugarCat 4 points 5 years ago.

Totally enjoyable with several really good laughs.

Doctor Strange (2016)
ShugarCat 4 points 3 years ago.

Overall a really good watch and all round a rather good production. The special effects are definitely mind bending. Worthy of a re-watch or 6.

Murder by Death (1976)
ShugarCat 4 points 4 years ago.

Great Watch! This satire has an all star cast that do an incredible job in their roles. The story is well written and directed, and full of humor, from giggles to knee slapping outbreaks. This is a film you will watch again and again. I saw it in the cinema back in the day, owned the video at one time and I am still watching here on Primewire. Don’t miss out on a classic piece of story telling from the ‘70s.

Dumbo (2019)
ShugarCat 4 points 4 years ago.

This was an absolute delight to watch, I loved it! I certainly was not expecting to have such an overwhelmingly positive reaction to it. The cast is marvelous, the story is good and the overall production is wonderful. Yes and its a heart warmer too. But be careful, your inner child may surface. It should be rated 5 stars by viewers not the measly 3 it currently has. It sure would be nice to read how the low rating that has been given by the viewers is justified. hmmmm perhaps they have feather allergies! Or maybe they are just afraid of elephants!

Knight and Day (2010)
ShugarCat 4 points 4 years ago.

An entertaining watch. Several good laughs. The story is a little predictable but still worth the time to watch.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2001)
ShugarCat 4 points 5 years ago.

Extremely enjoyable watch.

I Love You to Death (1990)
ShugarCat 3 points 4 years ago.

Extremely re-watchable! There is a chemistry on screen of not only the cast but the writers too. The cast did a fabulous job portraying their characters, the writing is great and the story is full of slap your knees as you laugh out loud comedy. I would describe the viewing experience of this film as “What a Hoot!”

Inside Moves (1981)
ShugarCat 3 points 3 years ago.

A very good watch. The cast all give an excellent performance in this well written and directed gem. Highly recommended.

The Windsors (2016)
ShugarCat 3 points 4 years ago.

I’m really happy to see this back for another season. Its been almost 3 years since season 2. The Brits have such a good sense of humor when it comes to poking fun at themselves. This is a very well written satire with a great cast. Its a gem, don’t miss the watch.

Going Clear: Scientology & the Prison of Belief (2015)
ShugarCat 3 points 5 years ago.

Great documentary. It brings to light what this cult/false religion is all about. Makes me ask the question … how far up their rectum does a person have to shove their head to actually believe in this lunacy?

Now, Voyager (1942)
ShugarCat 3 points 4 years ago.

Outstanding watch! Betty gives an incredible performance. It earned her a nomination for Best Actress at the 1943 Oscars. Her co-stars all give good performances but Betty out shines them all. Great story and writing.

For All Mankind (2019)
ShugarCat 3 points 4 years ago.

This series is exceptional. Episode One absorbs you from the get go. Each episode ends leaving you totally titillated and wanting more. The premise of this “What if …” story is extremely well written and performed. Episode Ten concludes in the highest of fashion not only leaving you wanting more, but also leaving you with almost endless possibilities of what Season 2 will bring us in the story line. The technical aspects of production have been near flawless thus far in the series; excellent attention to detail. Wardrobe, make-up, set design, props, to mention but a few all did their part and then some. Bravo Apple TV +, you have a hit on your hands.

How Green Was My Valley (1942)
ShugarCat 3 points 4 years ago.

Amazing 1941 Classic! John Ford directs a star studded cast in this outstanding production. The film received 5 Academy Awards in 1942 including: Best Picture, Best Director, and, Best Supporting Male Actor. Roddy McDowall, in his second cinematic role, gives a spectacular performance as Huw Morgan. Too bad the Academy didn’t recognize the contributions of child actors back then. This is a highly recommended watch.

What About Dick? (2012)
ShugarCat 3 points 4 years ago.

Refreshingly different entertainment. Kudos to Eric Idol for writing this silly little masterpiece. The cast is spectacular and they all shine in their roles and manage to have fun along the way. This is a radio play performed on the screen. Don’t miss this gem, I highly recommend it.

Thursday (1998)
ShugarCat 3 points 4 years ago.

Quite a good watch. Initially I didn’t find Thomas Jane believable in his role but that changed pretty quick once the plot thickened. Well paced action and loads of giggles along the way.

Preacher (2016)
ShugarCat 3 points 5 years ago.

One Episode in and I am hooked. Time to binge watch a few episodes. I am finding the plot to be very intriguing.

Hell or High Water (2016)
ShugarCat 3 points 5 years ago.

Good watch, I’m glad I didn’t pass it by.

Little Fires Everywhere (2020)
ShugarCat 3 points 4 years ago.

This eight episode mini series is an extremely good production. The story reels you in quickly and holds your attention through the entire series. The cast all turn in strong performances and the writing leaves you wanting more at the close of each episode. Its hard not to binge this series, its a good watch.

Good Boys (2019)
ShugarCat 3 points 4 years ago.

A fun watch. Lots of giggles and several knee slapping laughs. The story is good, and kids did a great job in their roles. Yes there are sexual undertones but with a restricted rating … isn’t that expected? Definitely worth a watch

Peaky Blinders (2013)
McShagan 4 points 5 years ago.

Sorry GS it is a great show, but there is no show better than Deadwood.

ShugarCat 3 points 5 years ago.

I agree Deadwood is perhaps the best TV series ever produced. It is perfect in every way. Outstanding cast, incredible writing, remarkable set with hundreds of extras, a brilliant story based on true life events and excellent directing. It definitely sets the standard by which TV and cinema needs to strive for. Thank you David Miltch for such a monumental production all around. Boo hiss HBO for canceling it! Hoping the movies are just as epic.
