Master Spy: The Robert Hanssen Story (2002 TV Movie)

It was too long, but it was interesting to watch!

[7/10 · 3 October 2022]

I had to watch it for my class, but it was an interesting television movie. William Hurt did phenomenal with his character as Robert Hanssen. I am still used to him as the character from Hulk.

The movie was too long, so it was challenging to watch it through. The fact that this is based on a true story is surprising. If I were to recommend this to anyone, it would be for documentary related topic, but not for watching an entertainment movie like Avengers and all. I still enjoyed it and learned a lot information.

Plot - 7.5/10 Characters - 9/10 Acting - 10/10 Length - 5/10 Beginning - 6/10 Ending - 6/10

Overall - 7/10.

Dexter: New Blood (2021–2022)

Dexter had to come to a close even though I did not want that

[9/10 · 16 July 2022]

I enjoyed watching the series, and the miniseries was a great one to wrap up the series. However, Dexter had to come to an end. I honestly want it to continue, but I believe it would be a false message saying Dexter can get away with anything.

Plot - 9/10 Characters - 10/10 Each Episodes - 9/10 Villain - 9.5/10 Length of Episodes - 9/10.

Overall - 9.3/10.

The Blair Witch Project (1999)

Not Horrific compared to other Horror Movies

[8/10 · 7 February 2022]

Characters/Actors - 9/10

Beginning - 8/10

Ending - 9/10

Horror - 6/10

Overall Rating: 8/10

A lost footage plot/story is actually a fascinating concept. However, it was not that horrific. I guess when you watch too many horror movies, such as Human Centipede, Cannibal Holocaust, or Exorcist, you are not horrified by this movie.

Overall, it was not a bad movie. But if you want to be horrified, then this movie might not be an option.

House Shark (2017)

Entertaining, Even Though It Was Ridiculous and Over-Comical

[3/10 · 4 February 2022]

Beginning - 3/10

Ending - 4/10 (It was a lengthy epilogue, but I gave it a 4 because they defeated the shark in a comical, ridiculous way)

Acting - 3/10

Horror-Comedy - 5/10 (It was more towards comedy, or over-comedy)

Characters/Actors - 2/10

Overall - 3.4/10

It is entertaining to watch, even though it was ridiculous. The acting was horrible and the shark was not realistic. I still watched it through. Would I recommend it to anyone? No, but if you are up for a challenge to watch a weird, ridiculous film, then I would recommend this.

This fits more in the comedy category and not horror, or even horror-comedy.

Gerald's Game (2017)

Had Some Horror Contents, But Not As Good As The Shining!

[9/10 · 4 February 2022]

Beginning - 7/10

Ending - 8/10

Horror - 8/10

Characters - 10/10

Acting - 9.5/10

Overall - 8.5/10 -> 9/10

Based on what I think, it was not bad. It had some disturbing scenes, such as the dog eating flesh and lady slicing wrist. However, comparing this horror film to The Shining, I would say The Shining is way better. The plot was interesting.

Tusk (I) (2014)

Nice Horror Concept/Story, but Dialogues Dragged On for a While

[6/10 · 23 January 2022]

The story of someone turning a man into a walrus fits in the category of horror, since it is disturbing. The one issue I had was the dialogues being dragged out. There were two or three of them where they kept talking and talking. If you are tired from an activity, and you were listening to their dialogues, you would fall asleep. The ending was surprising.

Plot - 7/10 Characters - 6/10 Dialogues - 3/10 Horror - 9/10 Beginning - 5/10 Ending - 7/10 Comedy - 5/10

Overall Rating - 6/10

I put comedy 5/10 because some were ridiculous and funny, but there were times where they tried to make it funny.

Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

Great Movie between Kong and Godzilla

[10/10 · 29 November 2021]

I recommend watching Godzilla and Kong Skull Island before watching this movie, so you know what is going on or how they obtained certain materials.

Plot - 10/10 Action - 10/10 Beginning - 9/10 Ending - 10/10 CGI - 10/10 Characters - 9.5/10

Average Rating: 9.75 or 10/10

It was great. Some say the plot did not make sense, but you have to watch Godzilla and Skull Island to know what is going on in Godzilla vs Kong Kong.

It is also a different plot compared to the old version of this movie. Both were great, but CGI looked great here.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)

Fit the Horror Definition - Worth the Watch for Scare

[9/10 · 29 November 2021]

If you have seen House of 1000 Corpses, it is similar to this movie. It involves teenagers entering in an environment, where killers are waiting for their prey.

Plot - 8/10 Characters - 9/10 Fit the Genre - 9.5/10 Beginning - 9/10 Ending - 9.5/10.

Ape vs. Monster (2021)

Would Pick the Old King Kong vs Godzilla movie over This One - Still Entertaining to Watch

[4/10 · 4 October 2021]

Acting - 4/10 Plot - 6/10 Characters/Actors/Actress - 6/10 Action - 4/10 Technology/CGI - 3/10 Beginning - 2/10 Ending - 2/10

Average Total Rating - 3.8/10 or 4/10

The acting was not believable. Plot was okay. The actors and actress were okay, but the acting for each of them did not have a feel to them. Eric Roberts was in it by the way. He did pretty good. The action was short. It felt like the Ape killed the Monster by breaking his neck, and that is it. The CGI was not realistic like the King Kong and Godzilla one, but I already expected that it would look not realistic. Of course, the fighting was not great with their CGI. Beginning and Ending was a 2/10. Beginning felt too long. Ending was not bad, but there was something that made me not like it. Overall, it was entertaining. The Asylum makes mock buster movies of famous ones, and they are very entertaining and interesting to watch. I watched go to see how good it looked. I am going to watch the Godzilla vs King Kong one pretty soon. There will be a huge difference, but it is worth comparing. By the way, if I were to pick between this or the old King Kong vs Godzilla, it would be the second one.

Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus (2009 Video)

Rating for Each Part!

[5/10 · 10 September 2021]

Story: 8/10 Acting: 5/10 Action: 4/10 Beginning: 4/10 Ending: 5/10 Entertaining: 6/10

Average Overall: 5/10

I like the idea of mega shark wrestling with mega octopus. The problem was you did not see much of the fighting to it. The acting was okay, but some of them did not mean it. However, it was entertaining in some ways, just like watching Sharknado. Although Sharknado is better than this.

Train to Busan (2016)

Rating Scale - What I think Overall - Worth the Watch

[9/10 · 4 July 2021]

Acting - 10/10 Characters - 10/10 Plot - 10/10 Action - 9/10 Ending - 9/10 Beginning - 8/10

Overall Score - 9/10

The movie was great. I was surprised by the way they all acted in turning into a zombie. The action was 9/10 since it sounded different from what I saw on the trailer. Ending was sad. Beginning was basically talking about work and parent's separation issue. It gets intense when they get into the train.

Overall, it is a great movie, and it is worth the watch. Hope my rating scale is good. I view it differently, so I may have a different taste.

House of 1000 Corpses (2003)

Entertaining and Fits the Horror Theme!

[9/10 · 19 April 2021]

Rating Scale:

Horror/Slasher - 10/10

Acting - 9/10

Makeup - 10/10

The Story - 10/10

Screenplay and Dialogues - 9/10

Beginning - 9/10

Ending - 10/10

_________________________

I would give it 9.5, but it does not do it in .5's.

The movie was great. It fits in with the horror theme. There is a lot of slashing, so expect that. It is disturbing, which makes it horror. Normally, they say horror, and it comes out disappointing. Then again, it can be entertaining.

The story was pretty interesting. The beginning was a 9 because of the acting, and something about it was did not caught my attention much. The scene where the four people arrived and went in the haunted house was pretty good since it goes well with the ending. I guess that would be the climax of it. The costume and makeup was great. I rate it 9, but I would give it 9.5 if I wanted to.

Anime War (2017–2019)

Best Fanimation, in my Opinion!

[10/10 · 21 February 2021]

I have watched this fanimation, before it got removed by Toei company. It was honestly great! I can see why some people were mad or took this seriously, saying he traced it and all.

Before the episode starts, he even included in the Disclaimer saying, "Full credit to the original creators." At least he gave the original creators credits for their original work. This is also a fanimation as well.

Either way, it was amazing! The improvement in the animation was phenomenal, including other animators as well.

The last episode was different though since his previous episodes got taken down, which I don't blame. In the end, the last episode was still great and MIND blown.

I had to write my reviews here since this is not in MyAnimeList. Normally, when it comes to anime movies/series/shows, I rate them on MyAnimeList instead. But, because this is fanimation, I had to do it, here!

Be sure to check out his channel "MaSTAR Media"! He will be starting a new project, and it will be his OWN creation, so do not even think about removing that.

Thanks for reading this review! Good luck with your journey and work MaSTAR Media!

Family Matters (1989–1998)

I like it, and I wish they continued with Season 10!

[10/10 · 21 February 2021]

Family Matters was the greatest show I have seen! It was hilarious seeing Urkel, along with the Winslow Family!

I still wished they continued with Season 10 because after reading the synopsis of it, I was actually more interested in seeing how their life is going and all. It may be a serious one, but it is still very interesting and entertaining.

I tried asking them if animating Season 10 would be possible, but so far, no one replied.

Well, except the actor who played Waldo. He replied saying it is something that is not possible. Which is understandable, but it is something that I hope it actually happens.

Anyway, I really like this show, and I am glad I watched it!

Cannibal Holocaust (1980)

It was interesting, but not a fan of it!

[8/10 · 17 February 2021]

The word horror means "an intense feeling of fear, shock, or disgust" according to Google.

I had to look up what it meant since I assumed horror meant ghosts and all, along with scariness. But this definitely fit the definition.

It wasn't scary though. It was, however, disgusting and shocking, and disturbing. The scenes in there looked realistic, so that was pretty impressive. I researched about this movie, and I was surprised to hear the story behind it. Story involving the director and what happens after this movie was made, along with banned in certain countries. The animals were shocking to see as well.

I am not sure if it is true, but people did say the animals killed in this were real, which is really unusual.

I was surprised to see things that I would never expect in a movie, and you will see why.

I recommend not watching this until you read the synopsis, along with knowing what you are about to watch. It can mess up minds if it is TOO much for someone.

It says unrated, but this is definitely rated R, and possibly should be watched by someone who is older than 18. Maybe like 21 years old.

Rating Scale: Beginning - 5/10

Ending - 7/10

Plot - 8/10

Character - 8/10

Horror - 10/10 (Very disturbing and gruesome; fit the genre)

Acting - 9.5/10

Overall Rating: 7.9/10.

Black Dynamite (2009)

Ridiculous to Others, But Still Worth It

[10/10 · 16 June 2020]

Every scenes here is HILARIOUS!! We always see movies do what they just did, and they make it funnier since that is how almost hear it in movies. The fight scenes may look weird, but it is comedy!

If Beale Street Could Talk (2018)

Really Good Movie! Read the book Too

[9/10 · 16 June 2020]

The movie and the book is slightly different, but I guess it would make sense since it would be a longer movie then.

This movie is something almost everyone should watch since this involves racism and all. James Baldwin is a really great author who wrote this book. Glad they made a movie about it.

The ending was different as well, unless I might have forgot how the book ended.

Read the book if you want to know the WHOLE story about this movie. After all, movies do not cover the whole book story.

Rambo: Last Blood (2019)

Pretty Good! Worth the watch!

[9/10 · 16 June 2020]

Not that bad! I enjoyed the action scenes from Stallone!

This one was completely different since the previous Rambo movies involved war, or fight against other countries.

This one was about the same. This one involves revenge against the gangs in Mexico.

Either way, the movie was great!

I enjoyed watching Rambo series, and the way they ended it was pretty great, here.

Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)

Pretty Good! I Liked It

[9/10 · 16 June 2020]

I give it a 9/10 because it is pretty good.

The storyline is about the same as the first one. Possibly the second one as well.

It doesn't involve John Connor anymore since the future has been altered.

I'm wondering if this movie is set to a different universe since we see a different Terminator from Schwarzenegger.

It is still not that bad. It is entertaining. You get to see Arnold fight. Some might say it is not good, but you will enjoy it, if you are a big fan of Terminators.

The Office (2005–2013)

BEST COMEDY SHOW!!!

[10/10 · 18 May 2020]

I was sad about Steve Carell not being in like the last two seasons, but he does come at the LAST episode of the final series. This show is definitely worth it.

Breaking Bad (2008–2013)

Worth it!

[10/10 · 18 May 2020]

At first, I didn't want to watch it and all. Then, I got persuaded to watch it. After a couple of episodes, I started to like it.

It had comedies, songs, some actions, cool scenes, etc.

Definitely worth the watch! I sometimes feel like I should have watched Better Call Saul first since the timeline is different and all.

Then again, it doesn't matter because both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are good and funny!

Check them out!

Airplane! (1980)

Funniest Film and Brilliantly Made

[10/10 · 1 May 2020]

I watched this movie because of the Family Guy reference.

It was super funny especially when the pilot guy entered the airport and beat all of the donation people for getting in his way.

This may be a ridiculous or horrible movie, but that is the beauty of it. I guess this is called a spoof movie. This movie is brilliant. It is like making fun of other movies, which is even more brilliant.

Memento (2000)

Not What I Expected

[10/10 · 1 May 2020]

It was super surprising!

I feel like the story or plot goes backward here since there is a lot of flashbacks going on, explaining what happened.

If you are new to this movie, then expect a lot of flashbacks of flashbacks, and so on. I guess that was the point of entertaining, depending on your taste in these type of movies

Jaws 3-D (1983)

Not bad, but I would not say it was good!

[5/10 · 18 April 2020]

I cannot say it was REALLY good. This shows why certain sequels are not really successful.

You can see how unrealistic the shark attack looked. Then again, it is a lot of money to use CGIs or whatever the technology is to make it realistic.

The movie might be worth the watch if you want to watch the whole Jaws series.

It is definitely a different director from Jaws and Jaws 2. I wish Steven Spielberg made the Jaws series, but I think it makes sense why only one movie is made for each.

Jaws 2 (1978)

Not Bad! Kind of Expected that for a Sequel

[8/10 · 18 April 2020]

I say it's not bad because the main actor was still in here, who in the end, defeats the Great White.

The problem was it was not the same as Jaws (1975). It makes sense why since we have a different director for this film. Plus, most of the time, sequels are not successful.

It is still worth the watch, in my opinion.
