Director: Alex Israel Rating: 1/5 SPF-18 has been on Netfix for a couple of weeks or so now, and I watched it last night. I honestly do not know what to say about this, because there is sadly not that much to say. The film barely has a story, and as if this is not…
Director: Kirk D’Amico Rating: 3/5 Holiday Joy is a new film on Netflix, and the story surprised me. I did not pay attention to the title of the film when I decided to watch it, but to the description. In the description, it said that the grass is always greener on the other side so…
Director: Bette Gordon Rating: 2/5 The Drowning has been on Netflix for a while and I had it in my list, but I haven’t watched it until last night. The film is from 2016 but Netflix advertises it as 2017 and the film has been added a few months ago or so. Regardless of the…
Director: Dee Rees Rating: 5/5 This film is a heavy one, but it is certainly worth watching. In this case, Netflix is showing us a story of Blacks in Mississippi during and right after the WWII. In that, we meet two families and learn about their lives, with black family renting the land from the…
Director: Alex Zamm Rating: 4/5 I watched this yesterday on Netflix, and what attracted me to the film was its focus on a journalist. Unlike for many other Christmas films that focus on family, giving etc, this one tackled undercover journalism practice, something known to me for I have done it once long time ago…
Director: Mike Flanagan Rating: 5/5 Gerald’s Game is a new film on Netflix based on novel by Stephen King. It is a really interesting film showing importance of facing the past and overcoming trauma. Therefore, Jessie Burlingame (Carla Gugino) and Gerald Burlingame (Bruce Greenwood) are going to a romantic getaway weekend in an attempt to…
Directors: Roxanne Benjamin (Don’t Fall) Karyn Kusama(Her Only Living Son) St Vincent (The Birthday Cake) Jovanka Vuckovic (The Box) RATING Overall experience: 4/5 The Box: 4/5 The Birthday Cake: 4/5 Don’t Fall: 2/5 Her Only Living Son: 1/5 This new film on Netflix is really something. It is a series of four short horror films and each…
Director: Mahesh Dattani Rating: 4/5 This film has been on Netflix for a while, but I haven’t watched it because I really need to be very relaxed and in the right frame of mind to watch a film that is not in English. The film is clearly a low budget one, which is visible in…
Director: Ritesh Batra Rating: 4/5 New film on Netflix is a really interesting one. It is very slow, but in a good way. It is a story of life and things that happen to everyone and this film shows that beautifully. The message of the film is also to stop caring what other people think…
Director: Toa Fraser Rating: 4/5 New film on Netflix offers a story of a six-day siege of the Iranian embassy in London in 1980. The story is not fictional for this event really happened. This is the main reason why I watched this film, as I am not normally a fan of action films. The…
Director: Ry Russo-Young Rating: 5/5 This new film on Netflix is something I had in my list for a few weeks, but I haven’t watched it until today partly because of only 75% match and then partly because I was not in a mood for a film that deals with dying even though I do…
Director: Fernando Lebrija Rating: 3/5 #RealityHigh is a new film on Netflix. Well, it is not that new but it is from 2017 and I watched it now so there it is… This film takes teenage stories of abuse and jealousy to a new digital era. Therefore, while pretty rich girls were bullying other girls…
Director: Zak Hilditch Rating: 4.5/5 1922 is a new film on Netflix, and the story is based in Stephen King’s novella ‘1922’ published in his collection Full Dark, No Stars from 2010. Since it was a Halloween night, it seemed suitable to watch something psychotic and hence this choice. It was not a bad choice…
Director: Jeremy Rush Rating: 3/5 Wheelman is a new film on Netflix. It is not the most brilliant film you will ever see, but it is not bad either. Nameless character known as the Wheelman (Frank Grillo) is driving bank robbers on their way to ‘work’. He needs to get the work done, as we learn,…
Director: Ben C. Lucas Rating: 4/5 OtherLife is a new film on Netflix, and if you thought you’ve seen it all when it comes to sci-fi, you didn’t. When the film first started I nearly freaked out when I saw it was Australian, because honestly, every film I ever watched that was made in Oz…
Director: Luis Prieto Rating: 3/5 Netflix’s new film portrays a struggle of a desperate mother to save her child kidnapped by an unknown couple. In that, diner waitress Karla Dyson (Halle Berry) speaks with her solicitor on the phone and gets shocked to find out that her wealthy husband and his new wealthy wife are applying…
Director: McG Rating: 3/5 The Babysitter is a new film on Netflix. I watched it on Saturday and I am still not sure how I feel about this film and what to say. Basically, Cole (Judah Lewis) is bullied and he gets super cool babysitter Bee (Samara Weaving) he really loves. She teaches him how to defend…
This film has recently been added on Netflix, and as an owner of a bunch of super cute and super cuddly kitties I was obviously inclined to watch it. Needless to say, I freaked out and I haven’t stopped freaking out ever since. Amazon probably knows this the best because all my ‘subscribe and save’…
Director: Eli Craig Rating: 3.5/5 I am not sure what’s up with these new films but the nature of comedy is changing. However, unlikely for bad films I watched recently that were mainly centred on overacting or no story at all (see e.g. here), this one actually has a story under the entertaining wrapping. I…
This new series on Netflix is really something for numerous reasons. One is that it nicely portrays how ordinary people can turn into very nasty creatures. The other is that the series brings old memories when we watched classics such as The Fog, in which this series is based. Apparently, the series is also based…
Director: Alex Ranarivelo Rating: 4/5 A new film on Netflix offers a well-known narration of corporations destroying farmers and small businesses in America. However, this film also offers something else, and that is criticism of NGOs and their plight to protect the nature while destroying people’s lives. This is quite novel in cinematography that normally…
