Penny Dreadful: City of Angels (2020)
JennyFromBlockD 8 points 3 years ago.

i’m on the 5th episode and I have no idea why I’m still watching it.
the writing is all over the place, almost all of the characters & storylines are utterly uninteresting. Everything has devolved into a who is sleeping with who soap opera sort of nonsense and i simply cant bring myself to care.
5 epsiodes in and nothing really ‘mythological’ like the original Penny, sans the two mexican whatever they ares, which again, are utterly idiotic & uninteresting.
Dropped. 0/10 stars

Snowpiercer (2020)
JennyFromBlockD 5 points 3 years ago.

Ive been tryin to stick with it; but its just so bland :l
The movie was great. This is nothing like that.
More like an episode of law & order mixed with a soap opera mixed with the train from snowpiercer :l
I’ll stick thru to the end of the season (ep 7) but its really rather meh

Hunters (2020)
JennyFromBlockD 6 points 4 years ago.

Great first episode.
Had a couple of slow scenes but seems 1st ep is huge buildup to the rest.
High hopes for the rest of the season
9/10 first ep

I figured it out :) Thanks!

Curfew (2019)
JennyFromBlockD 3 points 3 years ago.

Im 40 minutes into the 1st episode and I feel like Ive found another great one. Truly. I nearly gave up after 15 minutes cuz of some bad cgi & not interesitng plot then things TOTALLY switched gears.
Its some crazy mix of Hunger Games, Death Race, and Walking Dead; with SEAN BEAN! Its amazing. so far.

Phone Booth (2003)
JennyFromBlockD 4 points 3 years ago.

I saw it when I was way younger; and either I was makin out n the theater or just not payin attention; cuz I didnt remember anything about it.
It ended up being excellent from start to finish. All actors played their roles to perfection; and was a nice throwback since you can’t find a phonebooth to save your life now a days.
8/10

The Old Guard (2020)
JennyFromBlockD 4 points 3 years ago.

Worth the watch.
If you are into Anime (or maybe even if you aren’t) and liked this premise: go watch Ajin, or at least youtube the scenes with Sato especially the hallway scene.
That anime makes what happens in this look like childs play.

Becky (2020)
JennyFromBlockD 4 points 3 years ago.

Pretty damn good & a wild ride. Never saw this on the new releases or even when I search 2020 by just added. Only came across it cuz I saw it advertised at Red Box.
8/10.

True Romance (1993)
JennyFromBlockD 5 points 4 years ago.

Classic.
Definitely that Tarantino vibe…cuz he wrote it :0

Southern Survival (2020)
nowt 3 points 3 years ago.

If only they had. The Redcoats-by-twang cum Condeferates-by-whine cum MAGAcumdumpsters-by-cult, tho?

They make the South as hard to survive as any Hicksville sundown town.

JennyFromBlockD 4 points 3 years ago.

Nowt…that is spoken like a person who has either A) An American who has Never Been to the South ….or B) A person who has never been to America.

Your entire attitude & manner of speaking indicates an air of superiority, and your dismissive & downright hateful tone towards anyone with a different opinion than you is literally the exact definition of bigotry.

You need to check yourself; instead of judging people you know nothing about, and probably have never had the slightest bit of contact with.

Hotel Artemis (2018)
JennyFromBlockD 4 points 4 years ago.

Quite a good hidden gem.
Rather felt like it took place in a world very similar to John Wick.

Guns Akimbo (2020)
JennyFromBlockD 4 points 4 years ago.

Holy CRAP! This was AMAZING!
The action was absolutely epic, reminded me of like John Wick & Deadpool..with the plot of the TV Series Chosen.
I went into it expecting nothing at all… and oh my gosh. This was the best movie Ive seen in quite some time. Highly, highly entertaining.
10/10 stars

Siren (2018)
Alien 7 points 4 years ago*.

How do you know mermaids don’t wear toques? How many Canadian mermaids have you run into? Or rather, swum into?

JennyFromBlockD 4 points 4 years ago.

More importantly, what the hell is a toque.

Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
JennyFromBlockD 4 points 4 years ago.

This was pure & utter garbage. It really highlighted as a whole how bad this trilogy really was. I think it may have ruined Star Wars for me, and that’s something I didn’t think was possible. Was enjoying Mandalorian till I watched this, and now I haven’t watched an episode since e4 lol.

Worst star wars movie ever. I’m done with the franchise.
0/10

Dexter (2006) S2 E10
JennyFromBlockD 3 points 3 years ago.

My dark passenger said to start watchin this again and Im so glad i did.

Underwater (2020)
JennyFromBlockD 3 points 4 years ago.

I really feel like this could of been really, really good….if only it had some build up. They needed to spend the first 10-15 minutes introducing the characters & especially the ‘rig’. That would of done wonders for the movie. Instead, they throw you into a place you don’t understand with characters you don’t know in a catastrophe that has no weight due to the previous.
Still, I enjoyed it. 6/10

Mutant Chronicles (2008)
JennyFromBlockD 3 points 4 years ago.

Very enjoyable for a movie most haven’t heard of.

The Call of the Wild (2020)
JennyFromBlockD 3 points 4 years ago.

Wasn’t sure what to think when I started; as the all CGI Doggo made me immediately off put. But, I thought about WHY they did it: so not to harm real dogs in the terrible conditions of the arctic. So, I kept on. And, not long after watching I became totally engrossed. The CGI they did on the dog(s) was really amazing, I constantly forgot they weren’t real.
Certain parts had me on the edge of my seat & hollerin at the screen.
I loved it.

The Gentlemen (2020)
JennyFromBlockD 3 points 4 years ago.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.
If you enjoyed Snatch, Lock Stock, Layer Cake, RockNRolla; then you are gonna enjoy this.

The Domestics (2018)
JennyFromBlockD 3 points 4 years ago.

Criminally underrated on this site.
This was great.
Mad Max type film, and it was done VERY well.
Really nothing to complain about, being that it was done on a small budget; everything from the acting to the special effects to the plot lines were totally top notch.

If you like post apocalyptic type movies; you will love this.
10/10

Stardust (2007)
JennyFromBlockD 3 points 4 years ago.

My favorite Fantasy movie of all time; and one of my favorite films of all time in general. The movie makes me laugh, smile, and cry in all the right ways. 10/10 stars

Hunter Prey (2010)
BubbaPharm.com -1 points 5 years ago.

An homage to Star Trek “Arena” - very low budget, but also very enjoyable. Two “aliens” stuck on a planet, duking it out for their species. Highly recommended for a late night, old school sci fi night.

JennyFromBlockD 2 points 3 years ago.

sounds more like a homage to Enemy Mine :l=

Lone Survivor (2014)
JennyFromBlockD 2 points 3 years ago.

FYI to anyone watching today: Upstream link is the ONLY good one. The rest are corrupted, out of sync, or bad audio.

MINDHUNTER (2017)
JennyFromBlockD 2 points 3 years ago.

1 Episode in and I can truly say… this is amazing.
I thought it was gonna be totally not for me. Somehow I thought it would be like some mixture of true TV & fiction… which I guess it is…but its sooo much better than I anticipated. This is True Detective Season 2. The real season 2 I always wanted but never got.
10/10 stars for first episode; and anyone that knows Jenneh knows I dont give perfection lightly or …at all

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020)

To each their own; I lasted about 35 minutes and was just bored out of my mind.

28 Weeks Later (2007)
JennyFromBlockD 2 points 3 years ago.

Much more enjoyable on the 2nd view nearly 13 years later.
Went into it expecting a DIRECT sequel; instead o what I got: different chars situation during the same outbreak. And, while that may not be actually true; it explains everything immensely better vs thinking the dude is just a evil pos the entire time..
3/10 first watch vs 8/10 second watch

Last Moment of Clarity (2020)
JennyFromBlockD 2 points 3 years ago.

Anyone watched this yet? I love Samara weaving; but this one sounds pretty out there.

Curfew (2019)
MonkyNutz 1 points 3 years ago.

So I just have to ask, how many episodes until Sean Bean dies? lol :)
sounds like it might be worth a watch based on others comments..

JennyFromBlockD 2 points 3 years ago.

lol whats really funny is some of hte links still have the audio from the british channel it played on and they are saying the same thing hahahah

Standoff (2016)
JennyFromBlockD 2 points 3 years ago.

This was pretty damn good.
I liked it a lot more than I thought I would.

The Kingdom (2007)
JennyFromBlockD 2 points 3 years ago.

My favorite of the middle east army/terrorist movies…by far.

Québec-Montréal (2002)

Waco (2018)
etim 2 points 3 years ago.

Hahaha— the French media used to pronounce it Wacko too.

JennyFromBlockD 2 points 3 years ago.

Perhaps :l however this person insinuated the watched it; and that it was about “trauma implementation” when in reality it appears they never even watched it & hadnt the foggiest idea what it was actually about :o

Vivarium (2020)
JennyFromBlockD 2 points 4 years ago.

This really sounds interesting. I look forward to seeing this.

Superman: Red Son (2020)
JennyFromBlockD 2 points 4 years ago.

Watched a few minutes of it; not much into superman; but the quality is perfect & definitely seemed worth the watch if you DID like superman

Westworld (2016)
JennyFromBlockD 2 points 4 years ago*.

I lost interest before the end of the second season; and paid very little attention to the second half of the season.
Watched the youtube video recommended by Jade to catch up a bit.
Still just a rather instant no-go on the 3rd season.
Not enjoyable at all to me; and this type of scifi AI genre is one of my favorites. Its just so…bland at this point. Nothing is really interesting, just seems to be delusions of grandeur with big words & big ideas but very little actual substance. To each their own. As for me, Dropped.

Doom Patrol (2019)
finigan1 4 points 5 years ago.

Most definitely more mature then any other super hero show, the nudity, swearing and violence is actually quite refreshing to me. Really liking it 3 episodes in.It doesn’t take things to serious and at the same time it doesn’t hold anything back.Under those circumstances I would be swearing constantly also, not that I don’t anyways.And a couple of bobs here and there has never hurt anyone. I was poked in the eye once, but I really didn’t mind. And violence is in everything, so there is that. Over all really enjoying it so far, looking forward to more.

JennyFromBlockD 2 points 4 years ago.

If you haven’t watched it you should definitely check out Titans
It takes place in the same universe, and even has a crossover episode.
Very much the same vibe.

Annihilation (2018)
puffythebongslayer 4 points 4 years ago.

I keep watching this i like it alot

JennyFromBlockD 2 points 4 years ago.

Agreed. Its a very unique movie.
I have watched it like 4 or 5 times, and I decided to read the books too :)

Oldboy (2003)
JennyFromBlockD 2 points 4 years ago.

One of the most twistedly beautiful films I have ever seen.
If you have not seen this; I highly recommend it, and not the bastardized Spike Lee version.
Everything about this film is truly spectacular, and it is all highlighted by probably the most amazing unique beautiful soundtrack ever composed for a film.

10/10 stars. Probably the best movie I have ever seen.

Knives Out (2019)
JennyFromBlockD 2 points 4 years ago.

To each their own, this wasn’t for me I guess.
I’ve tried watching it two times now; and I fell asleep both times.
I’ve heard it described as a modern day clue; then everyone proclaims its wonder…. and I can’t help now but think: do they remember how bad the original clue was? And it was 10x better than this if you ask me…

Again, to each their own; but this was a HUGE miss for me
2/10 stars

A Night of Horror: Nightmare Radio (2019)
DemandingFemale 7 points 4 years ago.

A Horror-Anthology of 8 shorts bridged together by the host of a horror radio show. Some truly great shorts, so don’t be put off by the B-movie feel of the bridging. There are a couple of Argentinian-Spanish shorts which don’t seem to have subtitles; again, don’t be put off - you miss nothing.
Some great writing, acting, makeup and directing. Creepy AF in parts and exactly what horror is lacking right now. I recommend it to any fan of the genre.

Thanks PW Teams :)

JennyFromBlockD 2 points 4 years ago.

If you haven’t seen them you should check out the VHS movies (thats the name of it)
There are 3 of em, the first is definitely the best; but they are all worth the watch.
Just like this one, they are horror anthologies with a overarching plotline tying them all together.

B: The Beginning (2018)
JennyFromBlockD 2 points 4 years ago.

Pretty darn good. The action & plot lines were very good. Sort of a Darker than Black type of feel.
Not my favorite anime of all time by any means; but definitely worth the watch.
7/10 stars

The Magicians (2015) S5 E2

Doom Patrol (2019)
JennyFromBlockD 2 points 3 years ago.

Dropped a few minutes into the 3rd episode of the 2nd season.
I absolutely loved the 1st season.
It was wacky, insightful, and downright bizarre.
However, this second season every episode thus far just brings me down. There are a couple of chuckles,but mostly dark humor, and I just feel depressed after every ep.
My own life is depressing enough; I dont need a TV show to further bring me down.

Nothing But Trouble (1991)
JennyFromBlockD 2 points 4 years ago.

Very confused by this receiving only a 5 on IMDB. I remember it being a hilarious classic with crazy fantasy / scifi / horror elements to it.

Dexter (2006) S1 E2
JennyFromBlockD 2 points 3 years ago.

Rewatching this for this 1st time since I watched it ages ago.
Still as great as I remember.
But can I say….how in the blue blazes is a pulled pork sandwich the “perfect driving food” Yes to a nana but pulled pork?! I can’t imagine a worse driving food…thats gotta even be worse than tacos

Condor (2018) S1 E1
JennyFromBlockD 2 points 3 years ago.

Forgot all about this one with Brendan Fraisier. I think I watched the 1st episode on the premiere; loved it; and then forgot to watch anymore when it came out lol.
This is one of the main reasons why I love PW. Showing me all the things I’d of otherwise missed :)

The Vatican Tapes (2015)
JennyFromBlockD 2 points 4 years ago.

Underrated. Definitely one of the better found footage movies.

The Outpost (2020)
JennyFromBlockD 2 points 3 years ago.

It was okay. Nothing spectacular but done fairly well.
Doesn’t hold a candle to the likes of Black Hawk Down / Lone Survivor / etc but was still a decent war flick.
7/10

Gangs of London (2020)
JennyFromBlockD 2 points 4 years ago.

Can’t believe there hasn’t been any fanfare around this series release.
Just watched the 1st episode and it certainly seems to be a big winner.
