MY NETFLIX MOVIE REVIEWS #139

When an elite crime squad's lead detective investigates the disappearance of a victim on the first snow of winter, he fears an elusive serial killer may be active again. With the help of a brilliant recruit, the cop must connect decades-old cold cases to the brutal new one if he hopes to outwit this unthinkable evil before the next snowfall. Written by Katrina L. Harrison (Courtesy of Internet Movie Database)

I don’t know what it was but from the beginning of the film SNOWMAN was just tuned out. I am all for a crime thriller, but this one just did not have the bite I was looking for. Visually the film looked great with several majestic locations, but that was for me the one redeeming factor as I felt the acting performances were mediocre at best. So for SNOWMAN I give it 2 stars of 5.

I don’t remember seeing the trailer to the film I AM WRATH. I think it ended up on my queue due to the fact it stars John Travolta, figuring the strength of his performance and past performances would make this an interesting film. When all was said and done I realized I had seen this films similar to this before when it was called DEATH WISH or JOHN WICK and I was impressed with JOHN WICK, but not so much with I AM WRATH as it came off as kind of chaotic and not so well thought out. So for I AM WRATH I give it 2 stars of 5.

MY NETFLIX MOVIE REVIEWS #137

A police raid in Detroit in 1967 results in one of the largest RACE riots in United States history. The story is centered around the Algiers Motel incident, which occurred in Detroit, Michigan on July 25, 1967, during the racially charged 12th Street Riot. It involves the death of three black men and the brutal beatings of nine other people: seven black men and two white women. (Courtesy of Internet Movie Database)

Moments before watching DETROIT I really had no idea of what to expect as I had only seen the trailer once. My gut had me thinking one thing, but I was hoping for something more. Upon my viewing I found myself watching a film that I probably could have missed and been the better off. I say that because I found no real redeeming factor to this film and story. It was like this film was made to highlight the injustice of that event and that era to get people riled up today. I also feel being that this was based on a true story certain lines of dialogue were used to reflect my assumption making this a type of propaganda. So for DETROIT I give it a 2.5 of 5 stars.

Director Spike Lee's drama was produced by the team behind Get Out and offers another provocative exploration of American race relations. In the midst of the 1970s civil rights movement, Ron Stallworth (John David Washington) becomes the first black detective on the Colorado Springs Police Department. He sets out to prove his worth by infiltrating the local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan and convinces his Jewish colleague (Adam Driver) to go undercover as a white supremacist.

Treating myself to another matinee special I went to see BLAKKKLANSMAN. In the trailers the story was presented as based on a true story. In most cases I’m not much for films of that kind, yet with Spike Lee directing I figured he’d add that special something to it to make it pop. In the end I didn’t get that, I got what felt like a simple retelling of a story that had some merit, but in the grand scheme of things didn’t really change anything history wise. I did like John David Washington, the main characters, performance was strong, but I was really hoping for more. So for BLACKKKLANSMAN I give it 3.5 stars of 5.

MY NETFLIX MOVIE REVIEWS #135

Eva Khatchadourian is trying to piece together her life following the "incident". Once a successful travel writer, she is forced to take whatever job comes her way, which of late is as a clerk in a travel agency. She lives a solitary life as people who know about her situation openly shun her, even to the point of violent actions toward her. She, in turn, fosters that solitary life because of the incident, the aftermath of which has turned her into a meek and scared woman. That incident involved her son Kevin Khatchadourian, who is now approaching his eighteenth birthday. Eva and Kevin have always had a troubled relationship, even when he was an infant. Whatever troubles he saw, Franklin, Eva's complacent husband, just attributed it to Kevin being a typical boy. The incident may be seen by both Kevin and Eva as his ultimate act in defiance against his mother. Written by Huggo (Courtesy of Internet Movie Database)

Upon seeing the trailer to WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN I was left with the tremendous feeling of what was this film really about. Having now seen the film I understand why the trailer was so ambiguous being that the film is actually told in three parts the present, the past, and the even deeper past. The film takes an interesting approach to how it depicts each of these moments and the moments that progress the story. I found the performances were legit and even had me thinking of how one should deal with life in this scenario. So for WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN I give it 3.75 of 5 stars.
