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 Lone Ranger (2013)
ShugarCat 2 points 1 year ago.

An exceptionally good watch. Terrific story and a well chosen cast. Johnny Depp gives an outstanding performance. The overall production of this film is top notch.
This is definitely a re-watchable movie!

Frosty the Snowman (TV Short 1969) (1969)

Best Frosty EVER! Jimmy Durante forever immortalized in this wonderful classic

What's Up, Doc? (1972)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

A great watch. The cast does a fabulous job in this well acted and well written 70’s comedy. Well worth the watch. Oh and it has an excellent bicycle/car chase action sequence.

The Batman (2022)
ShugarCat 2 points 2 years ago.

Holy smokes but that was a good watch. Long but really good. Different, but again really good!

The Big Fix (2018)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

An okay one time watch. The writing is awful and the directing not much better. So much room for improvement. The acting was stiff and dry, seeming forced at times. Basically the characters were not real believable, making connecting to the them difficult.

The Irishman (2019)
ShugarCat 2 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Outstanding watch. Great cast, great writing and directing, great production all around.

Good Will Hunting (1998)
ShugarCat 2 points 2 years ago.

Extremely good watch. The story is well written and the acting superb. Overall the production is very well done. Highly recommended.

Moving (1988)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

This was a first time watch for me. I found nothing exceptional about this film, the cast is good, the story no more than alright. For me it dragged and was predictable. I smiled a couple times but never laughed. Its a good rainy afternoon time to kill film.

Pat and Mike (1952)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

An enjoyable watch. The on screen chemistry between Hepburn and Tracy shines through in this picture, as it does in most all of their films. Even if you are not a fan of the classics this is a great one time watch for anyone.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

Great watch, wonderful production, a must see. This film follows Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984); action/adventure films that set a new standard of excellence for this genera.

Cat People (1942)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

I enjoyed watching this well enough to add the sequel - The Curse of the Cat People 1944, to my watch list. Well worth the time to watch this oldie.

The New Mutants (2020)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

Comic books aside, this is a good watch. The cast does a very good job and the writing and directing are better than acceptable. The story unfolds well and holds your attention throughout the film. It also leaves you wanting more, so I’m looking forward to the sequels.

Stowaway (2021)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

I really enjoyed this film. Its not your typical Sci-Fi movie and not at all what I was expecting. It tells a good story, and the acting is well done. As a whole the production is better than average. There are what some may consider to be slow scenes throughout the film that may seem to make the film drag on or become almost stagnant, but they serve to allow the viewer the opportunity to absorb and ponder the circumstances and situation of the crew. This film is definitely worth the time to view.

No Country for Old Men (2007)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

A very good watch. The cast is wonderful in this, and the direction and writing are awesome. Over all its a very well produced film.

The Bucket List (2008)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

Nicholson and Freeman have such great on screen chemistry in this film. The story pulls you in within minutes and holds your attention through to the end. The story is well written and has a lot of good laughs. A very entertaining watch, and worthy of several re-watches.

Wild Horses of the Marshes (2015)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

An interesting watch

Yonderland (2013)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

What a fun watch. An easily binge worthy series that entertains. Great cast, and a fun story.

Watermark (2013)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

An interesting watch. Some beautiful cinematography throughout.

Me & My Left Brain (2019)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

Cute feel good film. Easy to watch, quite a few laughs, good script and well acted.

The Philadelphia Story (1940)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

What a gem! Truly, the acting, the directing, the writing, all fabulous. My favorite line in the film belongs to Katherine “its very heavy” her performance is outstanding in this film, but then that’s true of most of her pictures.

Joker (2019)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

Exceptional watch! The entire production is extremely good. This is a picture where every department of production comes together to create an exceptional cinema (viewing) experience. Writing, directing, lighting, acting, set deign, camera work, wardrobe, make-up. editing, etc … all of it comes together, a rare accomplishment these days: especially with a movie based on a comic book character.

Tales from the Far Side (TV Short 1994) (1994)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

Its not for you to question … Just sit back relax and let the insanely silly wash over you. Great way to spend 22 minutes of you day.

Legend of the Naked Ghost (2017)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

Yikes! This film ranks well below a “mediocre at best” rating. In truth it actually falls shy of earning a “pointless” rating! Remember once you have view this film, it can’t be unseen it.

Pocketman and Cargoboy (2018)
Tiger8me 0 points 5 years ago.

Someone must have changed it, not it says 4.9/10

ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

I wouldn’t even give it that. Does not rate 1 star on this sight. Its so awful it hurts to watch it.

Jersey Boys (2014)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

I grew up listening to the Four Seasons. I remember seeing them on American Bandstand and the Ed Sullivan Show. The cast did a wonderful job. What a good film and interesting story.

Perri (1957)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

This is a rare gem and such a treat to watch. No one made true-life nature photography films better than Walt Disney. Sadly this method of film making is now from an era long past. Imagine the time, skill, and patience that must have gone into the making of a true-life nature photography film, not to mention the film stock. So much dedication to a true art. An art that is no longer required with today’s film making technology at our fingertips. In the production of these films Disney always hit every nail on the head. The photography, the soundtrack, the story and the narrator with a perfect voice for the script. Charlie the Lonesome Cougar is another one of these gems. This film is a definite must see if only to appreciate everything that had to come together to produce one of these masterpieces.

Pocketman and Cargoboy (2018)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

How did IMDB ever come up with a 9.3 rating? This movie is awful! No one in the cast can act. The problems are too many to list. My advice don’t waste your time!

L.A. Confidential (1997)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

Great cast giving a great performance of a well written script. This is a really great watch. And and really great re-watch! Give it a try

I must say he did an incredible performance as all of the characters. ttfn (tah-tah-for-now)-Tigger,Winnie the Pooh

ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

Jhigh03, I have no idea who you are or what you are accusing me of, but your comment to my post comes across as mean and insulting. I take it James, who ever he is, is some sort of a threat to you otherwise you would not be sending such replies to peoples honest posts.

Shame on you!

It so happens I am not a dude, I am female, and I do not appreciate your rude and uninvited comment that has absolutely no relevance to me or my review of this film. So I would appreciate it if you would delete what you wrote and if that is not possible an apology would be nice. Oh and by the way you need to proof read your input as your comment is full of typos, well either typos or you have very poor spelling and grammar skills … or perhaps you are just too lazy to review your work. Again, Shame On You!!!

Fresh Off the Boat (2015)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

Outstanding sitcom, I don’t remember a single episode that failed to make me laugh. The cast are brilliant with an incredible chemistry between them. It was fun watching the Huang family grow up. Highly recommended.

Swamp Thing (2019) S1 E1
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

Great first episode. I would describe this episode as “all consuming”; the story just draws you in deeper and deeper until you are only aware of what you are watching. There is nothing else.

The Letter (1940)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

Bravo Bette, great job. Most definitely worth your time to view.

The Three Faces of Eve (1957)
RoboPhone 1 points 5 years ago.

You’re so right, Shugarcat! This film set the standard for Multiple Personality movies for decades.

For example, John Lithgow did an incredible job in the 1992 thriller called Raising Cain. Definitely worth a watch!

ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

Good to know, thanks. I will add it to my watch list right now.

The Three Faces of Eve (1957)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

A really good watch. Joanne Woodward is wonderful in her role as Eve

A Dirty Shame (2004)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

No one can go from prude to super skanky slut like Tracy Ullman. Lots of laughs. A good one time watch.

American Graffiti (1973)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

A MUST SEE. Be prepared for a blast from the past. American Graffiti set a new standard for movie soundtracks. Everything about this production is top notch, from the writing to the acting. Locations, costumes, set design … the cars, all come together to make this film exceptional.

Lonesome Dove (1989)
ShugarCat 2 points 2 years ago.

Really enjoyable watch. Real sorry I missed this when it first came out and even sorrier for not viewing it sooner. Good story, well written and a great cast all come together in this gem of a mini series.

Game Night (2018)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

The cast is superb in this historical and clever story. A great watch!

The Lady from Shanghai (1948)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

I enjoyed seeing this again. Good story, great acting … time well spent re-watching this one.

The Departed (2006)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

Excellent watch! This production is top notch from the fabulous ensemble of cast members, to the writing, sets, directing, and editing. Great production!

The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976)
ShugarCat 2 points 2 years ago.

Such a classic and a great watch every time!!

Shrill (2019)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

I really enjoyed season one! I laughed at the humor, felt her pain and, relate the bullying and the scars it can leave. I look forward to season two.

Silent Movie (1976)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

Its a fun watch. Great Cast!

Glass (2019)
ShugarCat 2 points 5 years ago.

Bravo, James McAvoy turns in yet another incredibly awesome performance. I have seen numerous films in which he has appeared but his talent never jumped off the screen until I saw him in Split, in which he gave a jaw dropping performance. The fact that he can completely change his character based on expression, posture, and speech is truly amazing. No need for wigs, make-up, or wardrobe change. All three films in this trilogy are a really good watch and should be viewed in proper order.

An American Werewolf in London (1981)
ShugarCat 2 points 4 years ago.

This classic film is considered one of the best horror films of its time, not because of the great acting involved, and it was good, or the story it tells which is good, or even the soundtrack which is also top notch. It is because of the special effects used. For the first time in the history of film the audience was shown a life like (real looking) transition from man to werewolf. Jaws dropped, gasps were heard, ooos and ahs took place as the audience watched the transformation up on the screen … and a ‘Classic’ was born. It is a really good watch and if you have not seen it definitely check it out. I am not a big fan of the horror genre for many reasons but I sure liked this film. Its not scary at all, well I did not find it to be anyway. Its more of a comedy fantasy with a werewolf tossed in to raise it to a horror category.

Zombieland (2009)
ShugarCat 2 points 3 years ago.

I am not a fan of Zombie films but I have to tell ya, this was a fun and very enjoyable watch.

Killing Gunther (2017)
ShugarCat 1 points 4 years ago.

Over all its a pretty dumb film. A one time watch at best. The action is soso the plot is meh and the laughs are few.

Battlefield Earth (2000)
ShugarCat 1 points 4 years ago.

A very enjoyable watch. The IMDB rating is way off for this film. From start to finish Battlefield Earth entertains.

Bad Boys for Life (2020)
ShugarCat 1 points 4 years ago.

Enjoyable and entertaining. Well worth the watch! The story is good, writing is good, acting is good. A little heavy on the FX at times but not so excessive that it takes away from the story. A definite re-watch in the future.
