Watched 'Parasite' recently, and although I haven't actually seen any of the films it beat out for best picture I think it's probably deserved. I've loved all of Bong Joon-Ho's prior films for their uniqueness and absurdism and this was no exception. The best I've heard it described is as a more perfect version of Snowpiercer. Highly recommended.

I recently watched “A silent voice”, it was such a beautiful movie with such a great message. I just loved all the scenes , it was beautifully animated and anyone can use sceneries from that movie as their phone wallpaper. As it is based on mental health, it makes movie more impactful for all. I will give “A silent voice” 10 out of 10 stars. I would like to recommend this movie to all age groups.

Latest Review: Scorn of Secrets by B. Truly

I just watched The Woman in the Window on Netflix starring Amy Adams. Other actors in the film are Julianne Moore, Gary Oldman, Anthony Mackie and Wyatt Russell. I would rate the move a two out of five stars because it seemed rather anticlimactic. I was so excited to watch, though I have not read the book. Nonetheless, I love Amy Adams and Gary Oldman and had recently watched The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which also stars a few of the same actors: Anthony Mackie and Wyatt Russell. It's an intriguing story and rather heartbreaking, but I had hoped for a slightly more thrilling ending.

The last movie I watched was Wish Dragon on Netflix. I would rate it a 9.5 out of 10 as it is similar to aladdin, but the storyline is different.

I recently watched Attraction To Paris. At first I expected it to be an intense romantic storyline based on the "attraction" lol. Turned out to be really thrilling and full of exciting suspense.

I will rate it 8-10 8)

I watched Disturbia last night for the first time, and I would rate it a solid 3/5. Parts of it were entertaining and other parts were slightly cringe-worthy. However, I saw In the Heights on Saturday, and even though it is the second to last movie I saw, it deserved a mention on here! I give it a 4.5/5 stars. It was completely amazing and I recommend that everyone go see it. I heard that the musical on Broadway is even better, so I definitely want to see that!

It is a movie based on the book by A. J. Finn, I want to see it but I haven't had time.

I'm currently about to read the manga. You should definitely see “Your Name” , or any makoto shinkai movie.

Last Movie I saw: To all the boys I loved before.

Review : It is such great movie which will give you teanage chills and will move you into the world of pure innocent love.

It will help you rekindle with your hormones that left you with tingly feeling when you saw your crushes.

If you are die hard romantic .it is a must watch.

And by the way Peter Kavinsky is way too hot.

I saw Cruella last. To me personally, it was not as memorable as they tried to portray it in the media. What made that movie interesting was the fashion. I would not call the movie dumb, but it was definitely close to that alley.

The last movie I watched was called Now You See Me. The magicians and their skillful ways left me in awe and for that, I would rate it as 10/10.

Thanks for reminding me. It's on my list for a long time. I loved “Nandemonaiya” the song from “Your Name.” I don't know any makoto shinkai movie, hope so will find out any good one soon. Thanks again!!☺️

Latest Review: You, This Is Me...OVER?! by Clinton Beaudel Dooley

I recently saw 28 Days later which came out back in 2002 and is by the same guy who did Trainspotting years ago and I was pretty freaked out by it. The actor Cillian Murphy, who was also in Inception has absolutely striking eyes. Probably always attention grabbing, but especially in that film. I thought the film was done very well. Scary concept and there are some interesting extras on the DVD also.
