Did Amazons Jack Reacher Impress More Than The Tom Cruise Version
Alan Ritchson proves to be the Jack Reacher that fans of the books always wanted to see. Nothing against Tom Cruise, but this is the Jack Reacher that we can believe in as the lead of the new Reacher series.
Jason Ray MortonPublished 2 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "All of Us Are Dead: Season One"
All of Us Are Dead: Season One is yet another Korean zombie show out on Netflix. It just recently came out and I'm actually shocked this is the first time I've ever seen a zombie series based around high school kids. You'd think this concept would have been done by now but I can't really recall one ever being done in a high school. Although there are some refreshing twists there are a lot of the same tropes you see in other zombie shows.
Brian AnonymousPublished 2 years ago in GeeksVillainess Review: Olivia Stevens (Cut, Color, Murder)
It had been over four months since Hallmark Movies and Mysteries aired an original mystery film. That's a long wait for this fan. HM&M starts their wave of holiday films in late October, and they last for the rest of the year and even about a week or two into the New Year, but during the break, I did learn about this movie, Cut, Color, Murder. From the looks of it, this should be the first of yet another original mystery film series, and if so, I'm looking forward to more of these. The star pairing in this film is Julie Gonzalo, who was recently part of the Arrowverse with her regular role as Andrea Rojas on Supergirl, and Ryan McPartlin, who played on L.A.'s Finest.

"They don't make graves for Stray Dogs" - Megalobox After watching Toppa Tengen Gurren Lagann, I thought it was going to ruin whichever show I decided to review next. I'm glad I was wrong.

Trevor WellsPublished 2 years ago in GeeksScream 5. Welcome back, Sidney.
"Do you like scary movies?" Most of those who were born in the 80s and 90s will answer without blinking an eye: "I do! And my favorite is Scream". And the directors of the new part Tyler Gillette, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, and producer Chad Villella, known as the Radio Silence association will agree with you. Together they worked on the anthology Southbound and the perky horror Ready or not.
The literature of “Parasite”
In the modern times, it is practically a challenge to find a film that explicit different themes rather than normal everyday themes. “Parasite”, is a movie that contains various designated points which in chance created History in Hollywood’s. The use of its remarkable symbols, unforgettable characters and significant plot makes itself embedded to the minds of viewers.
Cordellia NovisPublished 2 years ago in GeeksIntrusion is missing key elements
Reusing tropes is not a bad thing. Almost every modern movie or TV series rehashes something from another work of similar design. Netflix's Intrusion definitely uses the home invasion trope and tries to do so in a creative way.
Reel VibesPublished 2 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Extended Edition)"
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Extended Edition) is a movie I've always wanted to check out. I really liked the original theatrical release of this movie. Despite the fact I was entertained by this film there was always a sense that something was missing. After watching this extended cut of the film I realized I was right.

Bridgerton is the most anticipated Netflix Show of this Decade
On December 25, 2020, Netflix released what soon became the most-watched Netflix Original show. After just 4 weeks on the network, Bridgerton recorded 625 million hours of view time on 82 million accounts. It is the number 1 watched show and movie on Netflix.
The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window
I love Kristen Bell. I love her for acting in "Veronica Mars," "The Good Place," and "Bad Moms," for singing in the "Frozen" movies, and for promoting women's and girls' issues on "Armchair Expert" podcast. I would watch anything with her, so when Netflix automatically cued "The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window" after the series finale of "After Life" that made me cry, I thought it would be a good distraction from the emotional wreck that Ricky Gervais made me into with the ending of his show.
