Woman in the Maze (2023)
Great Movie!!
Ignore the negative reviews. Trust me. They nearly put me off watching this movie. The acting is fine. It's the storyline that's the real winner here. Each time I read the storyline and read the negative reviews, there was a clear disconnect. How can a movie with such a brilliant storyline attract so many negative reviews? Even the trailer was very good by not giving anything away. So I took a deep breath and decided to watch the movie. Simply put; a brilliant movie with a perfect ending. Ignore the negative reviews. They are in no way whatsoever a true reflection on the movie. Watch the movie for yourself. You will see what I am talking about.
Highly recommended!!!
The Farm (2018)
The Longer Version of The Herd
This is actually a really good movie. From what I can see, it's the longer version of the 2014 short horror film The Herd. If you haven't seen this movie The Farm, I suggest you first watch the short film The Herd to get the rough plot of the movie. The short film actually stars Pollyanna McIntosh of the 2011 movie The Woman. Ignore the negative reviews and watch both The Herd and The Farm in that order...and then form you own opinion. I am certain that these negative comments are based on the fact they have never seen (or possibly even heard of) The Herd (pun unintended). You can tell by the scenes in The Farm that they criticise. Yet the ratings in The Herd are very good and the similar scenes there are praised - nuff said. Once again ignore the negative reviews and watch the two movies (The Herd first followed by The Farm).
Damaged (2014)
Brilliant Movie!!!!
I have seen many many Lifetime movies over the years. Some have been downright crap, some have been ok, many have been good with very predictable endings, few have been excellent and fewer still have been outstanding. This movie is one of those very very rare outstanding movies with a very un-Lifetime movie ending. The storyline was excellent, the never-ending-tension was first class and the acting very good (massive big-ups for the outstanding Merritt Patterson as Taran Hatherway). I can count on one hand the number of outstanding Lifetime movies I have ever seen. This movie without a shadow of a doubt is one of them.
Ultra highly recommended!!!!
My Stolen Life (2022)
Good Storyline, But...
This would have been a really really good movie. Unfortunately it was ruined by a lousy ending. If this was not a Lifetime movie the ending would have been much much better. I won't give anything away, but there is a glaringly obvious loose end that is not addressed at the end. It is this unaddressed loose end that left me very very disappointed. So instead of a 7 or 8 star rating, it gets a 5 star for its poor ending. The acting overall, however, was very good and the general storyline was also very good. An improved remake of this movie would be very easy - especially if it has absolutely nothing to do with Lifetime!!!
The Alpines (2021)
A Very Good Movie
I very very very nearly allowed the numerous negative reviews prevent me from watching the movie. I took a deep breath, took a deep dive and watched the movie. Thank goodness I ignored the negative reviews. Let me tell you all a little secret; if you watch a trailer and the trailer gives absolutely nothing away, chances are, it's a very good movie. This movie's trailer did it for me. It's a deep look into trust. Friendship and worst of all betrayal. It also looks at many other things in between. I highly recommend this film to true movie lovers who know how to watch movies and understand the meaning of the stories they tell.
For the record, I am not a member of the cast and/or crew of this movie.
The Bride He Bought Online (2015)
A Rare Brilliant Movie from Lifetime
Usually with the majority of Lifetime movies the ending is very typical. Also the storylines are either mediocre at best and absolutely rubbish at worst. If you want quality Lifetime movies, Ripped From The Headlines movies are usually the best bet. However this movie is a very VERY rare exception. Great acting, great storyline, great atmosphere and a rare brilliant ending. I have to admit, I have seen this movie before. At that time, I had no idea that it was a Lifetime movie. After watching the movie the second time, I was more than impressed. The only reason I have given it a 9 star instead of 10 is because of the title. A movie like this deserves a much better title (very Lifetime). Other than that, a first clast movie!!!
Deviant Love (2019)
Another Lifetime Movie Disaster!!!!!
Guys, I need serious help here. Can someone - anyone -please tell me how I can get 90 mins of my life back. I was hoping against all hope that this movie would get better. By the time I realised that was not going to happen, it was too late; the movie ended. 90 mins of my life was gone - possibly forever!
Do not make to same mistake as I did and ignore the majority of the reviews. It is as bad as they say. The plot is bad, the script is bad, there's no tension or scares at all. As for the acting...!
If anyone can inform me on how to get 90 mins of my life back, I'd be forever grateful!
Thanks.
Blue Caprice (2013)
A Very Disappointing Movie
This DC Sniper movie was so disappointing. I have no issues with slow moving films at all. Unfortunately this movie was not at all engaging and lacked emotion. It actually borders on boring. I know this was a fictionalised version of the real event. But even that was poorly done.
If you want to see a really really good DC sniper movie, watch D. C. Sniper: 23 Days of Fear. Now that was a movie that kept you thinking long after it had ended. This movie, however, is a forgettable one.
I'm extremely baffled how Rotten Tomatoes gave this movie 85%. I normally have faith in Rotten Tomatoes' ratings; but I I feel they got this rating for this movie wrong.
The Evil Down the Street (2019)
Great Movie? Really...For Real?
What's with all these rave reviews about this movie? There's no way we were all watching the same movie. The acting was very questionable, the script was obviously done by a 7 year old. In the right hands this could have been a really good movie. If there's another version or remake of this film - hence the "rave reviews" - please let me know. I gave it a 2 star rating as it is based on a true story; albeit poorly executed.
The Lead (2020)
Ignore the Bad Reviews!
This was a surprisingly good movie with a good plot based with sprinklings of a true story from 2016 concerning Sherri Papini. The bad reviews kept me from watching this movie for a while until one outlandishly bad review gave me the impression that the reviewer most likely did not watch the movie at all and just wrote a pile of rubbish. I was proved right after watching the movie. Although this movie will not win any major awards, it is a good watch.
I Killed My BFF (2015)
A Really Good Movie with a Useless Title
This movie title is so off-putting, for a long time, I deliberately avoided watching it based purely on the useless title. However, on finding out that it was based on a true story, I decided to take a risk and watch it. After enjoying such a good movie, I ended up hating the title even more!!!!!!
Buried in Barstow (2022)
So Lifetime movies can be brilliant.
This cannot be a Lifetime Network movie. No way! Angie Harmon absolutely kicked ass here with her powerful but complex character. The movie title is a very typical LNM title which gets a one star rating. Get passed this useless title and watch the movie. You want proof that this movie rocks? Check out IMDB's rating of 9/10. That's got to be the highest rating for a movie that I've ever seen them give! Very very highly recommended!
Death Wish (2018)
Brilliant Movie!
The original will always be an absolute classic. But this was a brilliant movie. It did not try to copy the original but instead stood firmly on its own. Bruce Willis was back to his very best. The storyline was brilliant, supporting cast was first class and the movie itself flowed superbly from start to finish. The fact that IMDB gave this movie 6.3/10 is indeed high praise. Watch and enjoy.
Accident (2017)
The Good News!
Guess what guys, we can give zero stars!!!! Previous reviews always suggested that the lowest rating for dire movies was one star. This movie was so bad, I wouldn't even recommend it to my worst enemy.
