Series I’ve Been Streaming
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, I can safely recommend it. Aside from…

The Worst Lebanese Movies On Netflix
In my previous post, I tackled a few good Lebanese movies worth streaming in Netflix. But going through their catalogue again, I spotted a lot of terrible films that shouldn’t be given a platform to begin with. Let’s go through them. 1- Max W Antar [2016] By far one of the worst things to…

Is Film Collecting Dead?
Collecting movies has become a thing of the past. At its peak, I was constantly browsing amazon for best deals, box-sets, and obscure horror movies from the 1930’s and 1940’s. But before that, I was a young kid growing up in the 90’s. My grandfather had VHS tapes and 8MM reels all over the house,…

Nad’s Reviews: 10 TV Shows That Ended Far Too Soon
I have unhealthy attachments to my TV shows. I think about their latest episodes constantly, and I obsess over every single detail and plot twist. Unfortunately, a whole lot of shows get cancelled far too soon, often before they can tap into their full potential. But let’s be clear, some shows (like Prison BreakandLost) aren’t worthy…

The Worst Movies of the Year [2017]
It’s time to go through the worst movies of 2017. I gotta tell you folks, it’s been a rough year at the movies, filled with disappointments, but whatever you do, avoid the following films at all costs. Enjoy the holidays and may 2018 be filled with more bad movies for me to warn you about!…

Amityville: The Awakening [2017] ★
In a genre that suffers from extreme tiredness, filmmakers like James Wan are still delivering solid scares with such movies as “The Conjuring” and “Insidious”. Not the case with “Amityville: The Awakening”, a dreadful “kind-of-a” sequel to the 1979 movie. Even the actors make fun of the 2005 remake, unaware that the movie they’re in…
-
Annabelle: Creation [2017] ★★★
Horror buffs can relax: this second installment in the “Annabelle” series is constantly creepy and vastly superior to the first one. It seems that the people behind “Creation” learned from the mistakes of the first film by delivering a better story that reminds us why we fell in love with the Conjuring universe in the…

Great Superhero Movies
With the release of DC’s “Wonder Woman” in June, I’ve decided to compile a list of some of my all-time favorite superhero movies. No DC vs. Marvel bullshit, just an honest opinion from someone who loves the Superhero genre. The Dark Knight Trilogy: Director Christopher Nolan gave us Batman like we’ve never seen him before,…

Halloween Special | 2016
It’s Halloween weekend so what better way to celebrate than to watch horror movies? Below you will find some of my all time favorites and a few others that I consider “underrated” or “under appreciated”. Feel free to share yours and have a Great Halloween! Re-Animator [1985] I recently discovered this gem and it quickly became…

REMEMBERING GENE WILDER (1933-2016)
Early obituaries of Gene Wilder headlined his portrayal of Willy Wonka in Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory, and understandably so. He played the character so well and made it unforgettable for kids and adults alike. But my father knows him best as Richard Pryor’s partner in such movies as Another You, Stir Crazy…

![Me Before You [2016] ★★★](https://tlkabtmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/me-before-you-movie-poster.jpg?w=1024)
Me Before You [2016] ★★★
Formulaic as though it may be, “Me Before You” is filled with a sweet spirit and engagingly likable characters, which makes it almost hard to resist. Game of Thrones’s Emilia Clarke transforms herself completely, playing a small town Englishwoman who gets hired to take care of a wealthy, paralyzed man, played by Sam Claflin. A cheesy love story…
-
In The Heart Of The Sea [2015] ★★★
“In The Heart of the Sea” is a good old fashioned sea story from a master director, Ron Howard. In adapting Nathaniel Philbrick’s Book about the story that inspired “Moby Dick”, Howard recounts the journey of Essex, a Nantucket whaleship that sank after being attacked by a giant sperm whale. Ancient territory? Perhaps. But in the hands…
-
Creed [2015] ★★★
I expected to hate on Sylvester Stallone’s seventh round as Rocky Balboa, the Italian Stallion who boxed his way into popular and Oscar glory with the first and best Rocky film back in 1976. I was wrong. Stallone, now 69, and in fine, feisty form, has a ball mixing it up with Michael B. Jordan, who…
-
Mr. Holmes [2015] ★★★
Prepare yourself to see Sherlock Holmes like you’ve never seen him before: old, tired and regretful. This is Holmes at 93 (impeccably portrayed by Ian McKellen), dealing with a failing memory and living on a farm, where he relies on a widowed cook (Laura Linney) and her son, Roger (Milo Parker) to take care of…
-
Goosebumps [2015] ★★½
I grew up reading the Goosebumps stories. But I knew from the very first moment that a big screen adaptation could ruin all the fun. Which is why I have to credit director Rob Letterman for knowing what the hell he is doing. At a time when kids are only interested in dystopian love stories, Letterman…
