Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
ShugarCat 1 points 1 year ago.

No matter how many times I re-watch this classic … It never disappoints!

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!

Alice in Wonderland (1999)
ShugarCat 1 points 1 year ago.

This has a great cast! However, its way too long and the script is terrible. But, but … it has a great cast.

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.

True Lies (1994)
ShugarCat 1 points 1 year ago.

This is a fun watch. Arnold and Jamie Lee have great chemistry on the screen. The story is entertaining and the writing is good.

Monsters University (2013)
ShugarCat 1 points 1 year ago.

Second time watch and just as wonderful as the first. Great cast, and a good story that is well written. Its an hour and forty-five minutes of entertaining fun.

Pinocchio (2022)
ShugarCat 0 points 1 year ago.

Wonderful watch! It is a remake of the fairy tale, only with new and improved technology. Story is still the same. Hanks, as always, gives a believable performance.

Into the Woods (2014)
ShugarCat 3 points 1 year ago.

Its interesting how they intertwined the fairy tales. And the cast is top notch but, this plays more like an opera. Too much singing can be a bad thing … over kill. Its not something I will re-watch.

Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)
ShugarCat 1 points 1 year ago.

A great and entertaining telling of the back story to the Wizard of Oz. The story and the writing are extremely good. And the entire cast are convincing in their roles; playing their characters like true masters. It is a delightful watch.

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!

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

Great Cast, Good story, but mostly an really fun watch for all ages
.

Tough Guys (1986)
ShugarCat 1 points 1 year ago.

What a fun watch! Douglas and Lancaster have great chemistry on the screen.

The Beatles: Get Back (2021)
ShugarCat 1 points 1 year ago.

Time well spent. I am a Beatles fan and had no problem with the length of these episodes. Loved every minute of it. I am just sorry it took 53 years to see it. I was 10 when this was filmed.

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.

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

A fun, enjoyable watch. Great Cast

A Dry White Season (1989)
ShugarCat 3 points 1 year ago.

A very powerful watch that will linger in the back of ones mind for a while. It is well written, as well as acted, and directed. Definitely worth the watch.

Vanishing Son IV (1994)
ShugarCat 1 points 1 year ago.

Not sure why this movie was made. The first 11 minutes and the last 6 minutes of the film is new material/story line. Everything between the beginning and end is all recap of the first three movies with the exception of just under 10 minutes here and there. The new material does not really add anything to the ongoing story and is basically unnecessary and uninteresting. I enjoyed the first three movies but this one was a waste of time. It would have been nice to have seen a real conclusion to this saga.

Defining Moments (2021)
ShugarCat 1 points 1 year ago.

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.

Addams Family Reunion (1998)
ShugarCat 1 points 1 year ago.

This was mediocre at best. For me Daryl Hanna was not believable in the role of Morticia, she just couldn’t pull it off. Its a so-so story with a bad script.

Remember the Sultana (2018)
ShugarCat 1 points 1 year ago.

An extremely well done documentary of a tragic and horrific event in which over 1500 men, women and children perished. A very worthwhile watch!

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1963)
ShugarCat 1 points 1 year ago.

I finally got to see a clean version of this film without the annoying commentary. Wow, what a great classic. Davis is outstanding in her role and although I am not a fan of Crawford she too gave an excellent performance.

Lightyear (2022)
ShugarCat 3 points 1 year ago.

I had no problem getting lost in this film. A rather clever and thrilling back story to the toy action figure and his character in Toy Story. Excellent entertainment for all ages.

Jurassic Island (2022)
ShugarCat 1 points 1 year ago.

Ouch … This was difficult to sit through. The writing is not great, the acting is sub par and the special effects were down right laughable. And laugh I did. Felt like I was watching a movie from the early 1960’s.

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.

The Batman (2022)
ShugarCat 2 points 1 year ago.

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

The Great Gatsby (2013)
ShugarCat 1 points 1 year 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.

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.

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

Such a classic and a great watch every time!!

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

Frosty the Snowman (TV Short 1969) (1969)

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

A must see for any Larson fan.
