Travelers (2016)
ShugarCat 7 points 3 years ago.

What a terrific series! All the major aspects of production of this series are way above average. From the writing and directing down to the set design and wardrobe, heck even location, it all comes together in this intriguing time travel tale. The casting is perfect and the performances are all top notch, every major character played to professionally convincing perfection. But the icing on the cake with this series is the ending, that comes out of nowhere and completely satisfies. Kudos to the writers for that. And so glad they left an opening for expansion should the show ever return.

Fringe (2008)
ShugarCat 7 points 2 years ago.

What a thoroughly enjoyable watch. You are reeled in from the first episode and after a few initial character developing episodes the story takes off and soars such that each week outdoes the previous. The cast is exceptional and the writing flawless. This series is not only binge worthy it is high on the re-watch scale. Overall it is an exceptional production and I highly recommend it for anyone.

Cruella (2021)
ShugarCat 6 points 2 years ago.

Extremely enjoyable and entertaining watch. The cast is wonderful and the on screen chemistry is really impressive. Emma Stone does a terrific job in the role as Cruella. Emma Thompson also gives a wonderful performance. The story is really good drawing you in quickly and holding your attention through to the end. The production as a whole is top notch. This is a film that is very re-watchable one or twelve times. Its a fabulous watch for all ages.

Allegiant (2016)
ShugarCat 6 points 3 years ago.

This film wraps up a very entertaining trilogy. If you have not seen Divergent and Insurgent prior to viewing this film take the time to do so, you wont be sorry, its a pretty good story and at the very least entertaining.

The Private Eyes (1980)
ShugarCat 6 points 3 years ago.

Two exceptionally talented comedic actors come together in this deliciously delightful gem.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005)
ShugarCat 5 points 4 years ago.

I’ve probably enjoyed this film over a dozen times. Its a go to feel good movie that I just don’t seem to tire of. The acting is good and the story does not disappoint. It really is worth a watch if you have never had the pleasure of viewing. This film is just plain old fashion good viewing entertainment.

Sling Blade (1997)
ShugarCat 5 points 4 years ago.

This film has a top notch cast that all, as in each and every one of them, turned in a great performance. Billy Bob Thornton put a lot of his heart into the picture and it certainly shows. His performance as Karl was completely polished, he was perfect in the role. Billy Bob is also accredited with the writing and the directing of this picture. Skyehawk is so correct calling this an Excellent film.

Insurgent (2015)

The second film in an entertaining trilogy, this film is well worth the watch. Make sure you have watched Divergent first, and then finish off with Allegiant to get the full story. Again, it’s worth the watch

It kept me entertained and had a few good laughs.

Harry and the Hendersons (1987)
ShugarCat 4 points 4 years ago.

This is a wonderful giggle and feel good movie. How can anyone not love Harry. Sure he would be considered a high maintenance pet, but have you seen today’s prices on Dog food? I want one! Definitely a re-watch movie.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)
ShugarCat 4 points 3 years ago.

Fabulous!!! James Stewart gives an remarkable performance in this outstanding classic. The overall production of this picture is among the best of its era. Very well written and directed (Frank Capra). If you haven’t seen it Do.

I enjoyed the watch. The story kept my attention and the acting was believable. This is not a masterpiece by any means but it is good.

The Wrong Guy (1997)
ShugarCat 4 points 5 years ago.

Lots of laughs once the plot get going. Somewhat predictable in place and yet surprisingly still funny.

12 Angry Men (1997)
ShugarCat 4 points 5 years ago.

For a film that consists of pretty much one long scene, shot on a one room set, it sure grabs and hold your attention. Extremely well written with an excellent cast. 5/5

Hocus Pocus 2 (2022)
ShugarCat 4 points 1 year ago.

A very enjoyable watch! The story is entertaining and well written, and the cast is great. As a squeal, almost 3 decades after the original was released, this film totally works to round out the story of the Sanderson Sisters. Well done Disney!

Happy Feet (2006)
ShugarCat 4 points 2 years ago.

This film is such a fun watch, it has a great cast and the animation is well done. Fun fun fun … worthy of many re-watches.

The Outpost (2020)
ShugarCat 4 points 3 years ago.

An extremely powerful film. The production was excellent in every aspect. Shame on the US Military for their irresponsibility to their troops at that outpost.

Aladdin (1992)
ShugarCat 4 points 3 years ago.

Bravo! Such a fabulous watch. The eminence talent of Robin Williams is mind blowing and it is immortalized in this film. Great writing, good story and so much talent.

Fletch (1985)
ShugarCat 4 points 2 years ago.

A good watch with lots of laughs

Snowpiercer (2014)
ShugarCat 4 points 3 years ago.

Terrific watch. You are pulled into the story right from the get go. Well written with an excellent cast.

Tombstone (1993)
ShugarCat 5 points 2 years ago.

Such a great watch! Whether it is a first time view or your 12th re-watch this film is great entertainment. The cast is top notch and do a fabulous job in their roles. The writing is excellent as is the directing and cinematography. Even if you are not a fan of westerns, do yourself a favor and take this one in, you will not be sorry.

The Last Kingdom (2015)
ShugarCat 5 points 2 years ago.

A simply outstanding production in every aspect. A fabulous story, quality writing, costumes, set design, and locations are exceptional, every cast member gave excellent performances, and the directing, photography, and editing are top notch. Overall an utterly enjoyable and completely satisfying series that truly entertains! Kudos to the BBC for the first two seasons, and to Netflix for the last three.

Beverly Hills Cop (1984)
ShugarCat 5 points 3 years ago.

Ah the 80’s. Yet another action/comedy that will provide most anyone with an excellent watch experience. Funny and well written don’t miss out on this one if you have never seen it.

Braveheart (1995)
ShugarCat 5 points 4 years ago.

This film is epic. Every aspect of production is near perfect. From the costume design and filming locations to the acting, directing, editing and the script. The soundtrack to this epic story is also top notch. If you have not seen Braveheart do yourself a kindness and set aside the time to view it. You will not be sorry. Its the Gone with the Wind of 1995 and should be viewed on the big screen. However, a small screen will do just fine.

Split (2017)
ShugarCat 5 points 5 years ago.

James McAvoy was outstanding. The entire cast was great. More thriller than horror. A really good watch.

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
ShugarCat 5 points 4 years ago.

This has got to be one of my all time favorites. Give it a watch or 6 it is an excellent production all around. Tim, Morgan, heck all the cast give brilliant performances in the wonderfully scripted story.

The Wackiest Ship in the Army (1960)
ShugarCat 3 points 5 years ago.

Great cast, good story and lots of laughs.

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?

Trading Places (1983)
ShugarCat 3 points 3 years ago.

Such a great watch. Timeless! The 80’s produced some priceless comedies and Trading Places is one of them. A must see if you have not had the pleasure.

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.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)
ShugarCat 3 points 3 years ago*.

Initially I found this movie slow and I had little interest in the main characters. About half way through the story had my attention. Its not a great film by a long shot, but it is a good watch if you stick with it.

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.

Red (2008)
ShugarCat 3 points 2 years ago.

Oh my, this was a good watch. The cast does a fine job with acting so convincing I caught myself yelling at the characters more than once. Good story, and worth a watch or two.

Educating Rita (1983)
ShugarCat 3 points 3 years ago.

So re-watchable! I think that was the umpteenth time I have viewed this gem of a film. Overall every aspect of this production is top notch. Micheal Caine and Julie Walters both give exceptional performances.

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

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.

Stuber (2019)
ShugarCat 3 points 4 years ago.

Entertaining, fun story but predictable. Certainly worth a watch

The Thirteenth Floor (1999)
ShugarCat 3 points 3 years ago.

A good story that definitely entertains. Not a bad movie with respect to production. The cast, writing, sets, costume, etc, all more than acceptable. Its a pretty good watch.
