Mudbound (2017) – Review

An impressive and equally as emotional tale of two men that return home from their World War 2 exploits to continue working for their respective families in Mississippi. One of the families being black and the other being white – they are forced to share the same patch of land but the relationship that the two returning veterans strike up begins to take center stage in a time of segregation and hatred. A really good movie and insight into what life must have been like for families from contrasting backgrounds during this era.

Murder Mystery 1 (2019) – Review

Nick Spitz (Adam Sandler) is a New York cop that takes his wife Audrey Spitz (Jennifer Aniston) on a long awaited European trip in an attempt to reinvigorate their relatively stale marriage. Instead, however, the pair end up tangled in the middle of a murder case after witnessing the death of an elderly billionaire. A solid Adam Sandler comedy flick that contains two or three genuine laugh out loud moments, but probably isn’t something you’ll be watching again anytime soon.

Uncut Gems (2019) – Review

A movie centered around Howie Ratner (Adam Sandler), a fascinating New York City jeweler, who’s struggling to cope with a crippling gambling addiction as well as the breakup of his family. Howie, however, seems to have hit the jackpot after sourcing a rare uncut rock of Ethiopian gems, but he continues to push his luck and ultimately pays the price for actions. A marmite movie for some, that perhaps got a little too much hype for its own good before being officially released to audiences. Uncut Gems is currently streaming on Netflix.

Don’t F**k with Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer – Review

This three-part Netflix documentary follows a group of online justice seekers that are able to track down a person they deem responsible for killing kittens, only to discover that the actions of the perpetrator quickly become more twisted and sinister as the story progresses. A really good documentary that leaves you wanting more, despite the disturbing and eerie nature of the subject. It’s worth noting that this review was based solely on the show I watched at the time and not the true story it was based off.
