Dark Tourist (2018)
Trigger warning
There's lots of scenes containing dead animals, or harm to animals, in multiple episodes. Good to know if you're a half-decent human with some sort of sensitivity towards this
The Nightingale (2018)
Trigger Warning
The violence is so shocking, I think it's bad for your soul. I couldn't finish this, even though the film appeared to be promising. I can understand inferred violence, but to show ever abhorrent act is cruel and unnecessary
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017)
Omg. Jack Black!!!!
Alone, Jack Black's character could get this film to an 8/10. He's hilarious as the 'teen queen' role. I actually found this film ten-fold better than the original. For serious. It's less scary and demented, and more modern and comedy. Plus, I can never be upset when gorgeous Hawaii is the backdrop
Lunatics (2019)
For Chris Lilley diehards
Don't go in expecting a Summer Heights High experience. In fact, you'd do best to forget about a storyline and instead focus on the incredible character work. It would be easy to quit this show early on, but if you like it enough to stick with it, you'll be rewarded. It actually has an incredibly sweet message, and left me feeling great!
Murder Mountain (2018)
I'd go there!
I was drawn into this show right away during the opening narrative. I had just turned it on, on a whim, and was only prepared to give it a few minutes. I thought it was going to be a marijuana show, and I didn't think that beyond sensationalism that it would have substance. But I give it really high points because it was paced wonderfully. The weaving of the father's story, the history of the town and the marijuana farmers were all laid out so thoughtfully, that my interest was kept the entire time and I ended up binge watching it.
I really hope they do a second season! I want to revisit the farmers, and maybe investigate another missing persons.
Watership Down (2018)
Can't let my kids see this!
Never knew I could get so invested in the lives of bunnies! This was fantastic. Rated it 10 (with having no experience with the book) because I really can't think of what more you'd want in a series. It was beautifully done,; my only complaint being that sometimes it was difficult to tell the characters apart
