An interesting watch. Some beautiful cinematography throughout.

Wrath of Man (2021)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

Extremely good watch. Great cast and story. Well rounded film in all aspects of production. Re-watch worthy!

Flushed Away (2006)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

An enjoyable watch for all ages! Good story, good cast, worth the watch.

Bad Times at the El Royale (2018)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

I loved the soundtrack for this film, and Cynthia Erivo was impressive when she belted out a tune. Over all the film held my interest and kept me entertained.

Strange Fits of Passion (2001)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

Worth a watch for sure. Its not bad and I liked it. It has a different style to it compared to a North American Production.

Yours, Mine and Ours (1968)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

I remember this film … Saturday Matinee Double feature. Still a really enjoyable watch. Henry and Lucy have great chemistry on the screen.

Good Burger (1997)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

Fun! Silly, funny, simple and well done worth a watch or 4.

Death by Potato (2016)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

Not a bad one time watch, especially if you have nothing better to do.

Out to Sea (1997)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

Lemmon and Matthau: the cream of the crop for comedy duo’s and two of my favorite actors. Lots of laughs as always definitely worth a watch.

Up the Creek (1984)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

Cheaters never prosper! Enjoyable and silly no-mind film. Love the dog.

Jason Bourne (2016)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

Good film but not my favorite Bourne movie

Underbelly Files: The Man Who Got Away (2011)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

A very good watch. If you like the Underbelly series (2008) you with enjoy this film.

Blood Simple (1985)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

It starts out pretty slow then just moves up to slow and stays there. I liked it however, the writing could have been much better. Not sure how many times I yelled at the characters for being just plain stupid. I could probably rip this film apart and yet, I liked it and yes recommend it.

We're No Angels (1955)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

What a delightful watch. Bogart, Ray and Ustinov are terrific in their roles and the chemistry between them on screen is wonderful, as if their roles were specifically written with the three of them in mind. The plot is pretty simple there is not a lot of surprises, nonetheless it works well and provides a good story.

Shazam! (2019)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

This was such a fun watch. Very enjoyable and well made production over all.

The Grapes of Wrath (1940)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

Great watch. This film is such a classic! John Ford draws a great performance from his entire cast.

Phantom of the Paradise (1974)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

I loved this when it came out and it is just as good today. I will re-watch it again, and probably again and again. Very enjoyable, great soundtrack, wonderful performances. A most excellent film.

Surviving Jack (2014)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

Now here is a series that ended way to soon. What a fun watch this was and so darn funny. The chemistry between the cast members was great and the writing was very good.

Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments (2016)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

Really enjoyable watch. My gosh I binge watched the first 2 seasons and half of the third. I would finish an episode and then it was ….. Okay, Just one more, just one more LOL. I am sure I will re-watch this series in the near future.

The Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox (1976)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

Gosh this is still such a fun watch. Goldie is fabulous in her role. There are plenty of laughs too. Heck even the horse gets in on the humor … I love that horse.

Howards End (2017)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

Well done 4 episode mini-series, I wrote a paper on the book back in my college days. I like the mini-series better. OH just noticed episode 1 no longer has a link, request it before watching, its worth the watch.

Alien News Desk (2019)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

Total flashback to the 70’s and early SNL News segments. Which makes sense, since this show shares the same producers. I sure hope they can keep up the fast paced witty and satirical writing. I am two episodes into the series and loving it so far.

Illusions (2017)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

YAWN … extremely slow and artsy, and certainly not Sci-Fi … IMDB definitely over rated this film. There is not a single aspect (directing, writing, acting, story, etc) of this film that stands out. I am pretty sure I will not retain any details of this film in a couple of hours, other than the fact I was unimpressed and bored.

Mom (2013)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

One of the best sitcoms I have ever watched; I am really going to miss this show. Providing enormous laughs in every episode while dealing with so many hard issues in life and always bringing hope along with it. Mom is very well written and produced, and the cast is outstanding throughout the series. Kudos to all. I laughed and I cried. Guess its time to go back to season one and re-watch, otherwise I think I will go through Mom withdrawal.

Cabaret (1972)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

Classic Bob Fosse! The entire cast gives an outstanding performance. Actually pretty much everything about this film is outstanding and it won the academy awards to prove it. 5/5

Shock Treatment (1981)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

Such a treat to see Richard O’Brien, Patricia Quinn and Nell Campbell together on screen again. Jessica Harper (Phantom of the Paradise) does an excellent job in her role as Janet (Wiess) Majors and has a great set of pipes. As a big big big Rocky Horror Picture Show fan, Shock Treatment fell short for me. The music was adequate for the most part, many of the lyrics could have been so much better, and the plot was only so-so. Very much worth the watch for fans of Rocky Horror. I will give it a second watch at some point to see if I can appreciate Shock Treatment a little more than I currently do.

Struck (Short 2008)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

A fun watch

The Incredibles (2004)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

Enjoyable and fun watch. Great re-watch prior to watching Incredible 2.

The Fuller Brush Girl (1950)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

Several good laughs in this film. Its an enjoyable watch on a rainy Saturday afternoon. A rather entertaining way to pass the time.

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

Now this was an exceptional watch. Well paced action, with plenty of laughs, several phew moments and a good story line. An all round good production. Definitely worth a watch or six.

7 Days in Hell (2015)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

Quite an enjoyable watch. Lots of laughs, quite a bit of silliness, and a story to tie it all together. A good rainy day film, definitely worth a watch.

The House Bunny (2008)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

This is a fluff (ie no substance) movie, but its also a fun watch.

Mango Tango (2009)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

Boooooooo! Its not funny or thrilling at all. Its actually dull, extremely boring, given the writing is so bad, oh and the acting is beyond poor. Marianne Hettinger both wrote and starred in this horrible film and she should be extremely embarrassed as to how it turned out. Do not waste your time.

Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

A great watch. Slapstick at its best. The writing is good as well as the acting. This is a movie you will watch again and again over the coming years. Its definitely one of the classics.

The Poison Rose (2020)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

I really wanted to like this film, I even sat through it twice, figuring I missed something first time around. I think the script could have been so much stronger than it actually is. There is absolutely no ‘thrill’ in this movie, no tense moments, or scenes that bring you to the edge of your seat. I found it dull and slow … down right unmemorable.

That Darn Cat! (1965)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

A classic piece of Disney magic. Outstanding cast including the supporting characters, so many stars. I remember watching this as a child, it was great then and its great now The ‘97 remake is good but the original is Gold.

American Ultra (2015)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

Totally entertaining and then some. Jesse Eisenberg nailed his role as Mike. Definitely a movie I will re-watch again and again. Ah heck I will just download it. LOL

Rosewood (1997)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

Bravo, a very powerful movie indeed. The story should be fictional, but, sadly its not! Whats even sadder is the fact that the massacre was hushed and covered up for over a half a century. Shame on them! The true story of that nights events finally came to light when one of the children of a mob member came forward with the facts of what he witnessed that tragic night. The acting is superb as is the writing and directing. Don’t pass this one up its a great watch.

The Retrievers (1982)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

I didn’t like it. I watched it but it was a forced effort. First of all the story could have been laid out and told so much better. The writing could have been so much better. As for the performances of the cast. Well I will sum it up to say … Just cause you can kick box does not mean you can act on the silver screen! Gee guys what were you thinking? As for the fighting itself, well the choreography was poorly done, it all looked fake and staged; changing the camera angle could have improved much of the action. Honestly, do not waste you time with this one.

Tales from the Far Side II (1997)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

A must see for any Larson fan.

The Highwaymen (2019)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

Great film, fabulous watch. The chemistry between Costner and Harrelson is exceptional on the screen. Both actors did an incredible job in their roles. All the cast members did. The story and writing are top notch as is the directing. This film draws you in within minutes and holds your attention all the way through. Definitely worth a re-watch or six.

Pirate Radio (2009)
ShugarCat 2 points 2 years ago.

An extremely enjoyable watch with a fabulous sound track. Has great re-watch potential.

Jane Eyre (1944)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

A timeless classic and a great watch!

Gemini Man (2019)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

A really good watch. Will does not disappoint.

Rabbit of Seville (1950)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

What fun! Can’t go wrong with an original Bugs classic.

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

A thoroughly enjoyable watch. Don’t miss out on this excellent production, a true classic.

The Hasty Hare (1952)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

“you have made me very angry” huff huff huff “very angry!” lol loved it

Zombieland: Double Tap (2019)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

Not a fan of zombie films but enjoyed the first one so much I had to watch this one too. Loved it!

LBJ (2017)
ShugarCat 2 points 1 year ago.

This is a good watch. Woody Harrelson nailed his role and gave a really convincing performance as LBJ. The entire cast did a good job. Definitely a difficult time to be in office.

The One and Only Ivan (2020)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

This is a feel good film that I will definitely re-watch a few times. It is thoroughly entertaining from beginning to end and very well produced. Don’t miss out on this one.
