More Kids Films


Maleficent: Mistress of Evil 2019  - is an "Amazing" dark fantasy adventure film.. and the sequel to Disney's 2014 film Maleficent.. The film again stars Angelina Jolie as Maleficent and now Aurora who is in love is getting married.. I don't want to give to much away.. but this is a fantastic masterpiece by Disney.. Jolie is amazing.. I have to be honest I was on the edge of my seat.. crying and totally immersed from start to finish.. LOVED IT.. just can't say enough.. A must see film for the entire family..  and just in case you never watched the first one.. 


Maleficent  was released in 2014 and stars one of my favorite actresses (Angelina Jolie) and is basically a dark live action fantasy action movie inspired by Disney's Sleeping Beauty fairy tale originally released in 1959.  Maleficent tells the story of a fairy who was betrayed by someone she  trusted and has her wings taken, which in turn Maleficent places a curse on Aurora the baby of the king (and the princess known as Sleeping Beauty).  Over time though the story develops and Maleficent and Aurora grow close resulting in a climactic ending.  I have to admit I enjoyed this movie greatly and I am looking forward to Maleficent 2 that I think is not scheduled to be released until 2020.

More New Movies

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie  2019  - is a crime action film and a follow-up to the Breaking Bad series.. The movie follows Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) after the events of the series finale... For all fans of Breaking Bad.. this film starts after Jesse escapes from captivity were Jesse finally has to come to terms with his past in order to find his future.. I truly loved it.. and if you have never seen the series .. please take the time to watch it.. it was an amazing series ..

Breaking Bad 2008-2013 AMC  is a crime drama set in Albuquerque, NM .. the show follows the story of Walter White (Bryan Cranston) a struggling, depressed chemistry teacher at a local high school who was just diagnosed with lung cancer.. Mr. White decides to turn to a life of crime by producing and selling crystal meth to secure his family's financial future before he dies.. and one of his former students Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) agrees to help him for a cut of profit.. This series from start to finish, was off the charts .. it was wildly entertaining and full of action.. Even now the show still has a huge following..


Joker 2019 - is a psychological thriller based on the DC Comics character .. and stars Joaquin Phoenix.. In the movie the story of the Joker is set in 1981.. and follows a struggling stand-up wanna be comedian Arthur Fleck .. who works as a clown and takes care of his ailing mother... Gotham City is littered with crime and chaos .. and Arthur is plagued by a disturbing mental status.. off his medication and striking out at literally everyone..

This film is literally a roller coaster ride from start to finish.. and Joaquin Phoenix does an exceptional job at transforming himself into the "Joker"..  showing how Arthur Fleck feeling isolated and bullied descends into insanity .. The film provides a deeply compelling, brutal look into the origin story of the "Joker"..  In my opinion the film is a definite must see.... and after seeing the film  I couldn't help but think that the story is somehow reflective of what happens to so many people diagnosed with mental conditions that end up falling through the cracks and are so painfully tormented that they end up striking out at society..  dangerous and explosive at any moment.. Trailer


Fractured 2019  - is a twisted psychological thriller film ...After his daughter is injured in a horrific fall during a family trip .. he takes his wife and daughter to a local hospital ..were they seemingly disappear .. I found myself totally immersed in the drama right from the start and although I felt the film was deeply disturbing I found it difficult to turn away.. wanting desperately to see if this obviously distraught dad finds his family.. All I can say is this film takes you on a roller coaster ride from start to finish.. and is a thriller well worth watching..

More New Seasons

Season 6 has already started.. Power - American Crime Drama premiered on Starz in 2014, and is a series still going strong .. but why wouldn't it with an amazing cast and drug dealing storyline.  I will be honest I was hooked on this series from the first episode.. This show is dynamic in just about every facet .. while drug dealing is the backdrop it draws you in as being really human.. the pull of wanting to break free from crime and yet doing what is right isn't always easy .. and how growing up on the streets and making it is hard.. I can't describe how jaw dropping and enticing the story is .. and how the struggles and pain the main characters have to endure through the years .. but this series is gripping just doesn't do it justice.. I am not black but I see it as being a series that anyone can identify with .. life and marriage is tough and not everyone will have your back.. as well as dreams are hard to achieve.. Just watch it and judge for yourself.. I will warn this is hard-hitting but the overall storyline will keep you watching and the cast is superb.. 


Just Started Goliath Season 3 - The Amazon drama series starring Billy Bob Thornton as Billy McBride..will be adding some new cast members..  Dennis Quaid, Amy Brenneman, and Beau Bridges ..   

Goliath premiered in 2016 and is a dark legal drama. The main character Billy McBride is played by Billy Bob Thornton (need I say more) and is tasked with the role of an attorney who is down and out and has basically given up on practicing law.  However in the first season he comes back to fight a nemesis.  The story line is full of dark twists and turns while showing the human side of Mr. McBride as he tries hard to get his life back from walking away from the legal system.  In season two he is asked to get a young man out of trouble and ends up fighting an unscrupulous politician,  both seasons are outstanding and I hope Amazon renews it.  If you haven't seen this series ..watch it you will not be disappointed.


Just Started.. Godfather of Harlem  a crime drama series that tells the true story of infamous crime boss Bumpy Johnson .. (Forest Whitaker) who in the early 1960s returned to the streets after serving 10 years in prison .. finding his neighborhood where he once resided in shambles.. and controlled by the Italian Mob..Bumpy forms an alliance with Malcolm X to take back the streets.. interesting and informative series.. amazing cast..
