https://youtu.be/fCGBZvcbzsI 6/10 Following 2021’s incredible documentary “The Rescue” (9/10) and this year’s Hollywood film from Ron Howard “Thirteen Lives” (7.5/10) comes this six episode, limited series on Netflix, “Thai Cave Rescue”. I was initially horrified when I found out about this series solely because it had the name Jon M. Chu attached to it. Chu … Continue reading Thai Cave Rescue Season 1

#2 Amazon Studios Film in 2022: Thirteen Lives
https://youtu.be/R068Si4eb3Y 7.5/10 Earlier this year the Oscars took place and perhaps the biggest snub was that “The Rescue” not only didn’t win Best Documentary Feature (“Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)” picked up that trophy) but it wasn’t even nominated, which was and is insane. I picked “The Rescue” not … Continue reading #2 Amazon Studios Film in 2022: Thirteen Lives
#96 Film in 2022: Burial
https://youtu.be/toqKCOpnjCw 4.5/10 You’d think a movie taking place in WWII with action, violence, danger and…werewolves (kind of)…would be a fun thrill ride but “Burial” doesn’t fully commit to its B-movie pulp and becomes overserious instead of embracing its campy nature. It is hard to pin down the movie’s tone since half the time it is … Continue reading #96 Film in 2022: Burial
#95 Film in 2022: Gigi & Nate
https://youtu.be/n_tgQ105coQ 6/10 While receiving a 14% on Rotten Opinions and paired with a rather cheesy trailer, I had very low expectations for this movie. To my pleasant surprise, this isn’t nearly as bad as the “critics” would have you believe it to be, but it also isn’t anything groundbreaking either. This movie is based upon … Continue reading #95 Film in 2022: Gigi & Nate
#94 Film in 2022: Beast
https://youtu.be/oQMc7Sq36mI 3.5/10 Not to be confused with the imaginary “X-Men” spinoff of your favorite blue mutant, “Beast” is for lions on land what “Jaws” was to sharks in the ocean…except if “Jaws” was a terrible movie, with idiotic characters and mediocre CGI. While not every single element of this creature feature is a disaster, I … Continue reading #94 Film in 2022: Beast
The Twilight Zone Season 1 (1985-1986)
https://youtu.be/AIVJzmVUU1w 2.5/10 After taking a look at “The Twilight Zone” from the late 1950’s into the 1960’s, the second iteration of the show debuted in 1985 and ran for three seasons. I am hoping things improve since this first season was an absolute disaster. The biggest problem with this first season can be summed up … Continue reading The Twilight Zone Season 1 (1985-1986)
#8 Netflix Film in 2022: Day Shift
https://youtu.be/GN_IwBptKi4 5/10 Movies like “Day Shift” are all about expectations. If you expect some ground breaking, incredible vampire film, you will be sorely disappointed. However, if you expect a dumb but fun way to kill a couple of hours, you might very well find yourself enjoying this mindless but entertaining thriller. Let’s get the negatives … Continue reading #8 Netflix Film in 2022: Day Shift
#93 Film in 2022: Three Thousand Years of Longing
https://youtu.be/TWGvntl9itE 7/10 Based on the novel “The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye” by English novelist A. S. Byatt, co-writer/director George Miller gives us his first film in seven years with this magical and visually stunning experience. Since this film deals with magic, faraway lands, djinn/genies, etc. Miller (“Mad Max” franchise) is the perfect fit to … Continue reading #93 Film in 2022: Three Thousand Years of Longing
#92 Film in 2022: The Territory
https://youtu.be/wL9wvdbk7A4 3.5/10 A documentary about a disputed, protected area of the Amazon rainforest with the indigenous people and Brazilian farmers fight to control it, “The Territory” covers important topics but remains so one sided and non-cinematic that it falls painfully short. As someone who cares about the environment and this planet that we all call … Continue reading #92 Film in 2022: The Territory
#91 Film in 2022: The Invitation
https://youtu.be/5bL1ftuxgOE 2/10 Vampires as a concept are pretty cool so it takes a lot of effort to make them lame (see the “Twilight” movies for evidence) but director Jessica M. Thompson and screenwriter Blair Butler are up to the task. Blair should quit screenwriting and actually become a butler since she has no skills when … Continue reading #91 Film in 2022: The Invitation
