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.

The Great Gatsby (2013)
ShugarCat 1 points 2 years ago.

An enjoyable watch. I would have given it a 5/5 but I had issues with the sound track. I honestly don’t believe they had rap or anything similar to it in the 1920’s. And for me the wrong era of music just messed up the picture. That being said it is still well worth the watch.

Under the Rainbow (1981)

This is a really fun watch.

How to Train Your Dragon: Snoggletog Log (Short 2019) (2019)

Brilliant, simply pure enjoyment. Sit back, relax and enjoy the snoggletog log.

The Poker House (2014)
ShugarCat 1 points 4 years ago.

Interesting story but sad to think she had to grow up in that environment. Existence is a struggle these days without any interference I can’t imagine how hard it was for her to get out. But glad she did. Definitely worth the watch.

Incredibles 2 (2018)
ShugarCat 1 points 4 years ago.

Just as good as the first film, probably a wee bit funnier. I sure hope they make another … I want to see Jack-Jack tame that Raccoon lol

Gosh this film brings back memories. No one does silly like Don Knotts. A very enjoyable watch.

Blind Rage (1976)
ShugarCat 1 points 3 years ago.

Honestly, this is awful. So hard to watch. The writing is worse then the acting which is really bad. Highly recommend ya don’t bother. I’m an hour in and I just can’t take anymore.

Country: Portraits of an American Sound (2015)
ShugarCat 1 points 3 years ago.

This is a very enjoyable watch. I have loved country music for over 6 decades and seeing all the photographs this documentary includes was an incredible experience. Over all the production as a whole was better than average.

Poldark (2015) S5 E6
ShugarCat 1 points 3 years ago*.

Most of these links are for Episode 5 and not Episode 6. The correct episode links that are here are not the complete Episode, they are missing nearly 30 minutes. Two episodes from the conclusion of the series, it would be nice to have links to the complete and correct episode. I have made a proper request in the forum.

Shameless (2011)
ShugarCat 1 points 3 years ago.

What a great watch. The series was in its 7th season when I started to view season 1. It took me 2 weeks to catch up. Extremely binge worthy. The entire series is well produced, written, and directed. The cast is terrific the acting for every character is spot on.

Honest Thief (2020)
ShugarCat 1 points 3 years ago.

Great watch. I really enjoyed this film. I was drawn in from the get go and glued to my seat until the end. The acting was above average, the story was good and well written. Definitely a very entertaining watch.

The Northman (2022)
ShugarCat 1 points 1 year ago.

This film did not impress me. I found it dragged on too much and could have been edited better. The acting was acceptable but nothing to write home about. Its worth a one time watch.

Point Break (2015)
ShugarCat 1 points 4 years ago.

Its pretty dawg gone good. Its not as good as the original and its not really a squeal to it either. Just another good story; well written, well acted and a lot of great camera work. Don’t pass this by its well worth the time spent viewing.

Death and the Maiden (1995)
ShugarCat 1 points 3 years ago.

Not really typical of my type of film, but Bravo … so glad I did not pass this one by. Great watch!

Coming 2 America (2021)

An enjoyable sequel, but not quite as good as the first.

The Edge (1997)
ShugarCat 1 points 2 years ago.

Great watch, you are drawn in quickly and kept glued to your seat till the end. A good production, well written and acted, and the cinematography is exceptional. Definitely re-watch worthy

Widows (1983)

Some gems I have run across Travelers 2016, Poldark 2015, The Man in the High Castle 2015 and Peaky Blinders 2013. I know these series are not as dated as Widows, but had it not been for Covid I would have never run across them.

Mare of Easttown (2021)
ShugarCat 1 points 2 years ago.

Outstanding miniseries! Every aspect of the production is quality. The story is extremely good and the writing is top notch. The entire cast turn in good performances. Its worth the watch!

Defining Moments (2021)

This is a good watch, with good writing, good stories and a very good cast. Its not a comedy, but it is realistic and rather thought provoking.

A Simple Favor (2018)

Of Mice and Men (1992)
ShugarCat 1 points 3 years ago.

What an outstanding watch! If you have not viewed this film take the time to do so. This is a great production where all aspects of film making come together. The story, the writing, the directing and acting, cinematography, editing, etc. It is an exceptional example of how a book should be brought to the big screen.

Fabulous film! All aspects of this production are solid; From the writing and directing down to the sets, costumes, and soundtrack. An extremely talented ensemble of cast members bring this story to life flawlessly. I would have loved to have seen this on the big screen. Definitely worth the watch.

The Crow (1994)
ShugarCat 1 points 3 years ago*.

This was an excellent watch. I never got to see it in the theater so this was a first time view for me. I was extremely surprised with the quality of production, the story, the writing, directing and acting. Worthy of at several re-watches.

First time watch for me, loved it. Wish I hadn’t put it off for so long. Enjoyable watch!

Charmed (1998)
ShugarCat 1 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

What to say about this series? I purposely avoided watching this series in its time as I am not a fan of Shannon Dorherty. I don’t dislike her personally but her acting talent is lost on me. That being said … I recently binged the series over a months time. Overall its a relatively decent tv series. The story from the first episode to the series finale is very good but the writing from episode to episode lacked consistency in the details, and many episodes had continuity issues when recalling past details. Finally, the writing for several episode was just plain bad. I would think that from week to week and season to season these script errors went unnoticed over the years, however when you sit through all 178 episodes in just under 30 days these poorly written episodes stand out. Now lets talk wardrobe … Initially Prue was the character who displayed an over abundance of flesh. Every episode she is in over the top outfits for a professional to wear to the office. Once Dohorty was written out, Milano and Combs became part of the production team. The character of Pheobe now steps up to carry the torch of the “scantily clothed” and some of her outfits were beyond extreme especially for an office environment. The words apparel appropriateness is completely lost in this series. I am not sure if the abundance of exposed flesh was a tactic to hold the male viewers but I know it really took away from the series because there was just no justification for it whatsoever and the fact that the series takes place in San Francisco is not enough. Other than the actual writing of several episodes this series was a pretty entertaining and enjoyable watch. Having to sit through episode after episode of major flesh exposure took away from the series for me because there was no reason for it that the story could justify, except maybe to draw in the male viewers. Heck they should have written Pheobes character as an exhibitionist not a columnist at least that way they could explain the content. The sisters are suppose to be decent people, kind, moral, ethical, and they were written as “good girls” for the most part. So why dress them like two bit whores? Ratings? I don’t know, I am just saying for me it took away from the series, it was just to constant and too much and not required for the story line.

The first four links, version 1-4 are actually episode 3.

40 Pounds of Trouble (1962)
ShugarCat 1 points 1 year ago.

A fun, enjoyable watch. Great Cast

Ali Wong: Baby Cobra (2016)
ShugarCat 1 points 2 years ago.

Enjoyable watch with laughs. No way near over the top. Yes the C word is used ONCE, and it was appropriate use. She calls a spade a spade. As far as a shockingly dirty performance, (Referring to cumbiafan’s comment who was shocked by her set) … well a male may find some of her female topics disgusting and dirty, but, for us women it rings true and we deal with it most of our lives. I would rate this PG14 and to Ali Wong, I salute your performance … you go girl

Another 48 Hrs. (1990)
ShugarCat 1 points 3 years ago.

Good Watch. Although I don’t think its as entertaining as the first film, it is still an enjoyable re-watch.

Roswell, New Mexico (2019)
ShugarCat 1 points 1 year ago.

The writing for this series became worse and worse each season. It became very soap opera-ish. The first season was strong and the show had such potential with so many directions it could travel. Instead they wrote it into the toilet and finally someone flushed. The cast was good but no one stood out as exceptional. The story was mediocre at best.

Mack & Rita (2022)
ShugarCat 1 points 1 year ago.

Well Lah Dee Dah … I was entertained. It’s not a bad watch at all.

Operation Dumbo Drop (1995)
ShugarCat 1 points 1 year ago.
