Not Okay (2022)
7/10
It tells a story more about ourselves than the main character.
18 September 2022
This movie is based off a young women who is lonely and depressed. And to gain the attention she faked being in a horrible terrorist attack for social media followers.

My title says it all. We are the people outside the main character's life. And watching this movie and reading other reviews it seems I hit it spot on where everyone played into this "hatred". But how far is too far for someone who does something like this? Do we really have a blood lust. My worry through out the movie was the main character hurting herself. And it stuck all the way to the end. To me the ending left a cliff hanger where I still worried that Danni would not hurt herself.

Because it is too easy to cast stones, and jump on a hate wagon. But mostly everyone's review I have seen shows we as a whole refuse to acknowledge the real problem with Danni, which is she suffers from depression and loneliness and when she got a taste through her lie, it came back and hit her even harder.

I did not grow to hate this woman like the movie said I would do. I started feeling really bad for her, I felt once the truth came out everyone was too extreme with what they feel their justice is. And this movie speaks a lot of truth about how not just Danni did a horrible thing, we feed off it and want to give in to the evil inside of us and call it justice.

I feel the story could have been a little better written. I did end up doom scrolling on my phone through boring parts that did not give details or show character development. But I do feel this could have been written better not to make you hate someone for doing a horrible thing, but learn about yourself and society about how we react to horrible things others do. And maybe learn to grow empathy towards everyone not just the ones we feel deserve it.

Mr. Nobody (2009)
10/10
A movie that really makes you think if you actually pay attention to the end.
8 February 2019
For people who often ask them self, "What if I did this instead," this movie is one big, "What if I did this instead?"

The choices we make in life, the actions we take reflect deeply with the main character who reflects on the many paths of their own life. The most important message I received from this movie was, "Some choices we make we cannot take back."

For someone who might often reflect and beat themselves up about their own past this movie would really be a good thing to watch. Extremely easy to relate. Some what hard to understand if you do not fully pay attention. I gave this movie a 10 out of 10 because something in this movie really touched part of my soul as I reflected into the writer's soul and pain given. This is now on my must watch movie list I share with my friends.

Jarhead 3: The Siege (2016 Video)
Nothing like Jarhead the original.
18 June 2016
So pretty much this movie was nothing but action... I forced myself to watch Jarhead 3... First Jarhead movie was great, well written funny yet serious. The second one was too serious and stole lines from movies like V for Vendetta. The 3rd one they just said screw it to a story and just had non stop fighting for 2 hours straight. Made me think of wanting to make a movie and title is the third installment then make it just after the intro nothing but action to confused the people and end the movie with the hero saying some sly line like "Your logic is flawed murdering innocent people. You are not a hero to your people but a murder." then the villain saying "I see my error of my ways I surrender." right in the middle of a tense action scene.

The guns seemed to have unlimited ammo, and I realized the blonde girl was most likely CIA since she knew how to shoot right from the get go.

I would never consider this movie to anyone I know to save them 2 hours of their life... Sad part is I watched Jarhead 2 and 3 which had nothing to do with the original plot of Jarhead which was actually written by a man who spent time in Iraq during desert storm/desert shield.
