I watch bad movies so you can save your money
1- The Bold Type This light comedy starring three millennials working at a global women’s magazine has found its way on Netflix, and yes, it is worth your time and effort. I was reluctant to stream it at first, but now that I’ve seen the first two seasons, […]
It took Eddie Murphy and co 30 years to cook-up a sequel to the 1988 cult classic “Coming To America”. Was it worth the wait and the hype? Quite frankly, no. This is a tedious sequel, the kind that shouldn’t even exist in the first place. No one […]
I didn’t think I’d care for a recent Netflix release, but “I Care a Lot” knows its target audience and delivers exactly what you would expect from it. Rosamund Pike is good as always, playing a brilliant con artist who poses as a legal guardian for the elderly […]
“Malcom & Marie” is all about good performances, and both Zendaya and John David Washington deliver. But I wish I could say the same about the movie itself. It’s certainly well-shot and features a pair of powerhouse performances. But halfway through, I found myself drifting away from it, […]
Sometimes, a movie is easy to watch because of its star power. Ralph Fiennes and Carey Mulligan are both a treat to watch in Netflix’s latest period piece “The Dig”, and they’re reason enough to stream it. Of the story, I can only say that it was quite […]
1- Manhunt: Unabomber [2017] Took me me a while to see this, but I’m glad I did. This tense, extremely well-acted series will keep you pinned to your seats for 8 episodes. Sam Worthington plays an FBI profiler who joins the “Unabom” team to track down the infamous […]

“Promising Young Woman” offers a juicy role for the talented Carey Mulligan, but the movie itself is well-made and constantly engaging, making it one of the true highlights of 2020. Mulligan plays a young woman who is leading a double life: she works in a coffee shop during […]
10- Dangerous Lies “Generic” doesn’t even begin to describe “Dangerous Lies”, Netflix’s lazy thriller that was clearly made by people who have never seen a thriller before. This film oozes 90’s B-movies, and that’s not necessarily a good thing in this case. Camilla Mendes (a Netflix regular) plays […]
“Pieces of a Woman” is a movie that is difficult to review, and, at times, difficult to watch. But if anyone will remember it, it would be for its long opening sequence of a woman giving birth. It’s an incredible scene, fiercely acted by Vanessa Kirby, who truly […]
