Naomi Osaka (2021)
Empty Zzzz's
If the filmmaker's purpose was to get a glimpse into her life, it's pretty empty. I don't know if it is an actual reflection of her life, or the way they wanted to portray it of simply poor documentary filmmaking skills but it's basically this - shots of early childhood, practicing, playing, some interview bites, photo shoots, the fashion scene, repeat. Pretty boring. What you get out of all this emptiness is that it seems like Osaka is actually depressed but can't get to accepting what it is that makes her feel like she does. My take on what actually may be happening regardless of this rag of a doc is - she's still at an age where she subconsciously feels that she was dropped into this world into a situation where she had no choices or control in the direction she wished her life to go and doesn't feel she can do anything about it - yet. The lifestyle is empty. It's mostly the illusion of glory and selling that illusion to the public in the way you want them to see it. Again, empty space but unfortunately if it's your life, it's you and it's a hard thing to come to grips with that your lifestyle may actually very little meaning to you. Then again, what the hell do I know. I could be she actually does like the lifestyle and the attention that goes with it and could be using the mental health card as an excuse for her results of the last 5 months.
The doc itself lacks any substance and the only thing from keeps it from dropping to rating of 2 is probably her supportive fan base. In any case, if Naomi you are suffering, all the best in getting to a place where you are genuinely happy.
Frozen II (2019)
Excellent
Professionally done top to bottom. Nice put together story line, very good songs, absolutely STUNNING jaw dropping graphics - the best. Excellent sequel if not the best in the business so far as sequels go. My daughter who was a big fan of the first Frozen movie, loved this even more.
The Family I Had (2017)
Thoroughly Engrossing
Head to the TV, no blinking recommended. Just when I thought I've heard it all. I mean I've watched numerous docu drama TV's series such as FBI files, Forensic Files etc. in my past and the family dynamics & circumstances under which the horrific act occurred still astounded me.
Band Aid (2017)
Gem
A gem. Funny, witty, thoroughly well written, excellent character interaction, excellent acting. A found myself thinking about some of scenes the day after and still laughing out loud. I gave it a 10 mainly because I've seen so much garbage lately that this was very refreshing
Black Panther (2018)
Overhyped Superhero? movie
Ohhhhhh my! I wasn't expecting it to be as good as the reviews touted but geeeeees, it was worst than my worst expectations. I just wished I had been home watching it on BluRay so I could have fast forwarded over the numerous chases, fights scenes and predictable dialogue. I was aching to get up and run out of the theater because I have better things to do. So much for African heritage - doesn't come close to giving it a relevant platform to show it off. Nothing unique or vastly different about this flick so don't buy into the hype that it is. Probably the worst of the worst superhero movies I've ever seen.

Only the Brave (2017)
Poor Tribute
Very contrived, nothing authentic about it except the very last scene of the movie. Bonus features are garbage, typical hollywood garb about how great it was to be a part of the movie, blah blah blah. Would have done better to reference or make a short doc in the bonus section as a tribute, but no, had to focus the camera on themselves. Does not do justice to the real life story.
Dunkirk (2017)
Dissapointing
Over 300,000 ratings??!!! This is a movie that was review bombed to get ratings much better than it deserves. IMDB should conduct an in depth review when it so obvious otherwise it degrades their reputation for providing relatively accurate ratings on movies.
To speak of the movie itself - sad it is. Pathetically slow developing story line. Poorly crafted. The one positive is the cinematography.
