https://youtu.be/Tbl5Lbi4xEs 8/10 Nominated for Best Animated Feature at the upcoming Academy Awards, “Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio” is easily the best of the three animated features I have seen but I still have two more to go. Not only is this del Toro’s best film (a hot take I realize), but the best film adaptation of … Continue reading #3 Netflix Film in 2023: Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio

https://youtu.be/SgwKZAMx_gM 3/10 From one of the most pretentious writer/directors in Hollywood, Noah Baumbach, comes his latest movie, an adaptation of the 1985 novel of the same name by Don DeLillo. To be fair, Baumbach’s last film, “Marriage Story” (9.5/10) was his masterpiece and in my humble opinion, the best film of 2019. However, “Marriage Story” … Continue reading #2 Netflix Film in 2023: White Noise

https://youtu.be/8Q_RVOTqZlQ 3/10 Continuing the recent trend of directors making personal movies based upon their own upbringings that almost always only interests themselves and not a wide audience, the pretentious “Bardo: False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths” continues with co-writer/director Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s latest disappointment. The sad part is that Iñárritu is a talented, Oscar … Continue reading #1 Netflix Film in 2023: Bardo: False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths

https://youtu.be/-JtwROpSVWc 6.5/10 Maybe one of my most shocking movie viewings in all of 2022, I have learned to have extremely low expectations for Netflix original movies since most are absolute trash. From “A Castle for Christmas” (2.5/10) to “Holidate” (2.5/10) to my review previous to this one “Let It Snow” (1.5/10), Netflix has become indistinguishable … Continue reading #16 Netflix Film in 2022: The Knight Before Christmas

https://youtu.be/pitxxQYZcug 1.5/10 When I read the synopsis for the 2019 Netflix original movie which states, “A snowstorm hits a small midwestern town on Christmas Eve, bringing together a group of high school students. They soon find their friendships and love lives colliding and Christmas morning, nothing will be the same.” I thought that this snowstorm … Continue reading #15 Netflix Film in 2022: Let It Snow

https://youtu.be/KKXNmYoPkx0 2.5/10 Just when I didn’t think the folks behind the first “Enola Holmes” could make a worse movie, they go ahead and prove me wrong with “Enola Holmes 2”. Several of the same mistakes from the first movie carry over, particularly the absolutely annoying fourth wall breaking with Enola constantly making dumb comments to … Continue reading #14 Netflix Film in 2022: Enola Holmes 2

https://youtu.be/1d0Zf9sXlHk 4/10 With a laughably high 91% on Rotten Opinions, “Enola Holmes” dropped in September of 2020 and with the sequel recently released, I figured I would take a look at both movies. While several aspects are admirable, the movie is overall a forgettable disappointment and wastes Millie Bobby Brown's charm. Before I get into … Continue reading #13 Netflix Film in 2022: Enola Holmes

https://youtu.be/f2OGhJoypPw 4/10 In honor of the recent release of the underrated “Blonde”, it made sense to take a look at this Netflix original documentary which unearths some unheard tapes from years ago with Monroe’s inner circle. The biggest problem with the entire documentary is that it barely reveals any new information that we didn’t already … Continue reading #12 Netflix Film in 2022: The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes

https://youtu.be/dj3CXY8rKuY 2.5/10 With the first installment in the trilogy achieving a whopping 1/10 and the middle entry slightly upgrading to a 3.5/10, the concluding (thank God) chapter in one of the worst streaming trilogies of all time whimpers to a close somewhere in the middle but is still God awful. The movie is split into … Continue reading #11 Netflix Film in 2022: Fear Street Part Three: 1666
