Kidnap is mercifully under 80-minutes (sans credits) and just an incredibly dumb movie, which would be fine if there was any actual suspense or thrills, two key ingredients for a suspense-thriller after all.
Sniper: Ultimate Kill is by no means great but at the very least entertaining as it knows exactly what kind of a movie it is: campy comedy action. The acting is average but always nice seeing Billy Zane and Tom Berenger reprise their roles.
Westworld: Season One: The Maze isn’t perfect with some stretches meandering at times, but more than making up for it are some excellent performances from the likes of Hopkins, Harris, Newton and others.
Captain from Castile is a fun 1940s-era adventure-drama featuring some fine performances from Tyrone Power and Jean Peters as well as Cesar Romero.
Popcorn is a cheesy but fun and entertaining horror flick from the early 90s. Sure, the acting isn’t anything special but the bloody effects weren’t entirely bad and should make for an enjoyable night to watch with friends.
Marcella: Season One is a respectively well acted and nicely shot series though it’s nothing all that original yet still entertaining if only for Anna Friel.
Decline and Fall is a decently made mini-series that works more for the cast than a compelling plot. At only three hours, it does make for an easy enough watch and all in all is entertaining.
She Had to Say Yes is a charming if not ultimately forgettable romance-drama that does feature a nice performance from Loretta Young.
Psychos in Love is… an unusual little movie that isn’t very well acted, barely has a script, poor/minimal production design and just is bizarre, which is probably why it’s just enough to make it entertaining in a weird way.
Annabelle: Creation, in spite of its flaws, was a pleasant surprise considering the movie is a prequel of another prequel. The film fits in nicely with the two Conjuring films and might even get me to watch the first Annabelle, a movie I really didn’t care much for.
War for the Planet of the Apes is a strong conclusion to a well done trilogy. This one features a fantastic motion-capture performance from Andy Serkis and some excellent visual effects to aid.
The Lift wasn’t a very good movie with poor pacing and absolutely unnecessary scenes such as the main character’s family drama which could’ve been cut out with no problem. But the horror elements were alright but this is a case where I actually prefer the remake.
Although I wasn’t as head-over-heels for Baby Driver compared to some, a few even calling it subtle which this is not, this still is an entertaining time with a tried and oft successful plot and features some great car chases, the opening especially, and is worthy of a rental at the least.
Innocent Blood is an utterly cheesy but fun early 1990s vampire drama with an over-the-top performance from Robert Loggia and French actress Anne Parillaud is, ahem, well suited for the vampirella femme fatale central role.
Vikings was never a show I could fully get into, but the performances all around aren’t half bad and, like Game of Thrones, feature some respectable production and costume designs.
