Overlord  2018

This film takes place 1944, US army parachutes down to destroy German radio tower stumbles upon an underground Nazi experiment lab that creates an injectable serum for super human strength.  This film was filled with action, thrills, startles and some gore from beginning to end.  It is definitely not for the squeamish.  I personally enjoyed this film and was happy if was pact with an entertaining story line.

Psychological thriller about a young woman, Sara who witnesses the murder of her father and suicide of her mother.  After spending some time in the hospital, Sara tries to remember her life before the tragedy.  This film has many twists but, the ending was huge.  Sara has been possessed and her body is going through an exorcism, but once the demon is expelled from her it latches onto another soul, her sister!

 

 

Fresh  2022

Sebastian Stan  Daisy Edgar-Jones

 

Steve is a sweet talking cutie who misleads Noa, a girl down on her dating luck. Thinking this can't be real, Steve seems perfect, until he drugs her.  Noa wakes up chained in a room.  Steve reveals he just needed Noa for her flesh.  Steve kidnaps women, removes limbs and sells it on the black market. But that is not the only thing Steve is hiding, he is married, has a family and even uses his wife's body parts on the market.  This film was quick moving and clever.  It does have some cringe and gory scenes so if you are squeamish, skip this one. 

The Fallout  2021

Jenna Ortega   Maddie Ziegler

School shooting forces a popular girl and an average girl huddled in the bathroom and they form a bond from the trauma.  I enjoyed this coming of age love story.  It was well done and beautifully acted. 

 

Free State of Jones  2016

Matthew McConaughey  Mahershala Ali

 

Male war nurse decides to fight the confederates on their politics to regain equal rights for all.  This film held quit a bit of information and kept you up to date through out.  I am not completely sure why so many people hold a negative opinion on Matthew McConaughey, I find his acting to work well with the characters he choices.  

 

Four Good Days  2020

Glenn Close  Mila Kunis

 

A fed up but still caring mother tries to give her heavily drug addicted daughter another chance to be clean.  Glenn plays Deb a broken mother who struggles with how she abandoned her young children for two years may have drove her daughter Molly towards heroin addiction.  Carrying that memory within herself gives Molly countless recoveries and relapses.  I have seen a few films dealing with addiction, but these performances dig up all the raw, unbridled emotions that stem from these sort of situations. I was thoroughly impressed with each of these ladies.  I highly recommend this film.
