| 70 70% | My Old Ass (2024) - Rated 20 Nov 2024
"A well acted entirely far fetched story involving the impossibility of time travel. But the drama was interesting and engaging from start to finish thanks to strong performances. Worth watching and a feel good movie."

| 30 17% | Rumours (2024) - Rated 18 Nov 2024
"I watched this because it has Kate Blanchet, and other excellent actors. But despite the acting heavy weights they were unable to lift up this poorly conceived, badly written, horribly presented, abomination of a story. Overall it is confusing, pretentious and utterly pointless. I've giving extra points for the quality acting, but it was disjointed, boring, and fatally doomed from the start."

| 55 57% | The Killer (2024) - Rated 15 Nov 2024
"I simply can not get enough of Natalie Emanuelle. If you are a fan of hers, you will enjoy this movie. If you are not, then what's wrong with you? There is plenty of action, and fighting. And the plot is interesting and keeps moving along. I don't recall any pauses in the pacing. Great music, and as stated before Natalie Emanuelle!"

| 65 62% | Your Monster (2024) - Rated 14 Nov 2024
"I liked their portrayal of slipping into madness. It was not all at once, but by incremental degrees. A fragile woman is mistreated by a narcissist who cares only about himself. The explosive ending was altogether shocking. Especially since it seemed she had finally come to terms with her depression and unraveled the source of her pain and suffering. It was difficult at first to care about the character, but by the end I felt invested in her, making the ending more tragic and disconnected."

| 70 70% | Magpie (2024) - Rated 12 Nov 2024
"This movie reminds me of how much I adore Daisy Ridley. The first half is a character study of a lonely wife being relegated to the background of her own life. Her frustration and anguish is a growing wound to her well being. It could be a study in post pardon depression, but the incremental betrayals of her husband triggers her methodical plot to shake him to his core. What happened after the reveal was entirely unnecessary."

| 40 32% | A Different Man (2024) - Rated 11 Nov 2024
"I was perpetually let down and disappointed in the telling of what turns out to be a ridiculous story. From the moment Edward claimed his former self has committed suicide it was all down hill. Of course there wasn't much climbing the hill to begin with. There was a kernel of a story here, but the details were unrolled in a very unconvincing and unrewarding way. I can't recommend it."

| 65 62% | Killer Joe (2012) - Rated 06 Nov 2024
"This was an insane spectacle of ignorant lowlifes and violence. I particularly liked the beautiful slow witted character Dottie played by Juno Temple. Emile Hirsch was also very good. All of the characters were a crazy ensemble of misfits. McConaughey was overly heavy handed in most of his performances. Thomas Church and Gina Gershon were convincing. It has a memorable sexy exchange in the middle between Temple and McConaughey. Worth watching but not at all stellar."

| 30 17% | Darkness of Man (2024) - Rated 06 Nov 2024
"I could only make it about 30% into this movie before losing my patience with it. What I saw had no energy, excitement, or polish. Not recommended."

| 40 32% | Species: The Awakening (2007) - Rated 03 Nov 2024
"This one is by far the worst in the Species series yet. However, there is a stunningly beautiful naked girl in this that is nothing by pure pleasure to see. As for the story, plot, acting, and especially the overblown music track, this movie leaves almost everything to be desired. They just pushed everything to the extreme with the creature and ruined it with unconvincing drama. At least there was no cheesy latex models spewing yogurt at the end like the very first one. So that was good."

| 45 40% | Girl Haunts Boy (2024) - Rated 27 Oct 2024
"The problem with this movie is the premise. You can't write your way out of a bad premise. The acting was sweet, and the story was pretty typical spiritual mumbo-jumbo. It was pleasant, but fatally flawed from conception."
