04-13-2025 - The invisible Guardian 2017) is a pretty decent crime movie that will hold viewers interest as it unfolds. It's the first in a series of three connected movies. The second being (The Legacy of the Bones 2019) and the third and last being (Offering to the Storm 2020). All well worth watching at least one time. Even though they're listed as thriller I didn't see that much scary/thriller stuff except for the witchcraft, which is in reality a soft-pedaling promotion of evil in every sense, even in movies of fiction such as these. Bon Appetit!

03-19-2025 - A mediocre series filled with to much heart felt yak-yak between old enemies Maggie and "Jeffrey the Negan" who has now become "Jeffrey the Good Guy" who's supposed to have grown a heart or maybe he found religion? Either way that's a big, hop-toad-leap-frog stretch of imaginary bad writing. NOT believable, to big of a load for anyone to swallow. As I'm about midway through this short 6 segment series there has NOT been one segment of excitement or any part enjoyable enough to make me look forward to watching the next three episodes, but I'll slobber on to the end anyway. At this point, I would have no interest in watching a season two. The whole series is so far removed from the original TWD that it's impossible to like due of the constant comparison. I'll finish but any expectation of an upswing in the storyline looks dim. The two sad tales of Boo Hoo, Boo Hoo, lost family members told by "Jeffrey the Evil" and The "Croat the Executioner" in no way is believable, (More outlandish fantasy from script writers) By the way, the early zombie action really SUKS. OK, I'm now in episode 4 - Finally a little suspense and a decent amount of zombie action. 5 and 6 a continuation thereof now including "Croat the Yaker/storyteller", none of which a substitute for a good storyline filled with action for viewers. The storyline and the dialog within as the final minutes unfold, is asinine. (not believable) This series, in no way should ever be compared to its original and never be considered a 5-star production. The overload of F-bombs, M.F.'s and blasphemy were all unnecessary and unwanted by many, including myself. Bon Appetit!

10-14-2025 - "Exceptional" Korean serial killer series. A lot to short in duration and sadly there will never be a season 2. Everything online states clearly that it's is a definite no-go so don't hesitate to watch this series if you haven't watched it already. "Perfection" in movie making - never boring! 10-Stars+ Bon Appetit! ADDENDIUM: Thankfully the series ended on a Happy-Slappy Denzel Washington kind-of-ending, similar to "Man on Fire".

11-02-2024 - OK, I read all of the reviews before I started watching this six-segment movie presented by NeckFlex who buys the rights to a movie and then pretends to own or having produced it? The first noticeable problem was the many, repetitive ("same person" using different names) Asian/Bangkok? positive 5-star Google reviews = They're definitely stacking the deck for suckers like us to read. As the first episode finishes, the story is dull making the series outlook bleak, especially the missing scary parts that were supposed to compel me to continue watching. If loud noises, glowing red eyes in the dark or a hydraulic bed that keeps going up & down with a little kid screaming seems scary to you, then this is probably your kind of movie (stretched out into six long miserable 40 minutes plus segments). So far, it's100% old school horror ploys from yesteryear, dragged out with an overload of empty time filler - Yak, Yak, Yak, and the word "Min" Min, Min, is a word that you will never, ever want to hear again after the movie ends. I reluctantly continued into segment 2 and then 3 wishing that I'd stopped back at 1. then into segment 4. Now we have a new/completely changed movie. I'm now watching old Grandma Evil who apparently has some kind of electrical engineering time traveling Elon Musket knowledge and has re-created a replacement daughter who she murdered the first time around by having a big garbage truck run over her and turn her into a lil' kid flat cake/pancake and has somehow re-manufactured a replacement lil' kid who chooses to wear a "Money Heist/Casper" mask most of the time. I don't think that's normal behavior for re-manufactured lil' kids? Anyway, the film turned out a lot better than I thought it would when the young policewoman in this movie helped me to figure out/explain it all to me because my brainstem got baked inside this crazy-cake storyline maze. It was still too long of a series that could have easily been done in 3 or 4 segments. FlexNeck buys it's cheap movies by the pound. not by any gauge of "quality of content" = (foreign phrase in the FlexNeck movie world). In closing, it's way to long but ok to watch once you get past segment 3. ADDENDIUM: There was a husband early in the film, but NeckFlex wouldn't let him talk or act very much, so I think his wife "Dear Old Mom" may have used him for Bob n' Weave target practice and whatever happened to him at the shoot-em-up is still an unknown? He may have forgotten to bob when he should have weaved = (knitting can be hazardous when females that hate you carry guns) and got himself kilt? An unmentioned facet of the show was the old Norman Bates scary Psycho House, but no Anthony Plopkins or Grandma Skin n' Bones anywhere to be scene? (I know because I looked) And who knew that the house had been moved over to Bangkok? The Bruce Willis Rumor mill said that it had been floated over to Asia under sum politician's political balloon filled with the normal amount of political hot air which is always in abundance around Washington, D.C., especially at this time of re-election year. Bon Appetit! ADDENDIUM: I have to confess, that I was pretty deep into this movie before I realized that the title wasn't "Don't Become A HoMo" butt I watched it anyway, hopin for a change and eyes still likes gurls plus a few German Shepard's every once in a while. Si? Y-yes-eye-due-C-FredG

10-24-2025 - Finally, episode 12 has been made available but sadly it also adds "LAST EPISODE". Even with that unwanted piece of information, those of us who really liked this series will still be hoping for a lot more episodes in a yet to be announced second season renewal, hopefully sometime in the very near future? 08-20-2025 - This series is a cute and innocent, feel good series with each short episode being only about 20 minutes in length. Each presents an apparent, overall positive, possibly inspirational? message for younger viewers, regarding the cross dressing male and a young not yet sure of herself female. Not what old folks might normally watch, but I'm glad that I did. Why? Because It's a clean series, free of the normal nasty forced into movies inclusions, so for that reason alone, I like it. Now 09-03-2025 watching Epis.10 - I'm not sure how many episodes this series will present but the longer it runs the better in my book. Still EXCELLENT/still Cute!!! Bon Appetit! ADDENDIUM: A lot could be learned by the young and the old regarding a perpetually happy and smiling face because it draws decent human beings to that kind of person. No amount of excess $$$'s can be a substitute, nor good looks alone, material flash attracts the like-minded kind of material human beings. So no value can ever be placed on natural human kindness or genuine caring, both spoken and shown. This series is fantasy but can serve as a realistic guideline for people that want to improve themselves and also surround themselves with all-things-decent, especially decent human beings. As you can tell, I still like and strongly suggest that you watch this wonderful series. 10-21-2025 - ADDENDIUM to my ADDENDIUM - As I re-read the 12 comments, hoping to find some glimmer of hope regarding a possible season 2, I noticed that several comments gave Leo Matsumoto who plays Hikaru most of the credit for this series. My guess is that most of those comments were posted by young💕females❤️fantasies? I strongly disagree, because without Ichika Osaki playing Haruka as the female lead in this series, I would have dumped the series long before episode one (1) was ever finished. She was and still is the bright light/the positive magnet in the entirety of this series with her smile and radiating warmth that will hopefully continue into many other film projects or movies or series in her future. "EVERYBODY" else were simply support actors for her performance. She exudes goodness/wholesomeness/kindness and comes across with sincerity not just a bunch of fakey acting. In my opinion she's already a star, much brighter than anyone around her, not only in her acting skills but hopefully in real life as well. I'll seek her out in the future for any film that I find she's been involved with because she's got the gift that very few in this short life will ever get or ever come close to. I think she's genuine, not just play-acting in her portrayal of decency and she alone was the "only" reason that I started and continued to watch this series!!!

07-26-2025 - Most of Episode1 was apparently the initial layering of the foundation for the upcoming storyline that we'll be watching. Even though Epis.1 wasn't very exciting as it was wrapping up they broke out some fire power and settled a few scores which I always enjoy watching. If this has happened in Epis.1, I'm definitely hoping for a lot more killing in the forthcoming episodes considering that the title of this series is "Trigger". (probably lending itself to guns, not Roy Rogers long dead, stuffed for posterity Palomino horse still standing in Roy n' Dales museum). Should have stuffed Dale n' Roy too! OK, I've now just finished Epis.3 - There's been plenty-of-senseless killing, some for revenge, some just for fun, kinda like every day reality in America. Apparently some of the episodes (short vignette's) have different people with different reasons for killing or seeking revenge? FredG❤️ lotsa killin!!! So far, I've enjoyed this series, probably about a 4-5-star rating at this point but I'm giving it 5 either way. There's no dull spots, no thoughts of me quitting only that sad cloud of completion hanging just up ahead, because I'm now in to Epis.7 with only 3 more episodes left to go (10 Episodes in all). Knowing there's no saturation point for those of us who like armchair killin and slaughter, one can only hope for even more in a season 2, then a season 3 and so on ......... A definite watch which I will watch again sometime in the near future. Bon Appetit!

10-21-2025 - I watched this movie a while ago and forgot to leave a review just for "YOU", not for me. Why? Because it's excellent, from the very beginning and all the way through to it's end. Do not hesitate, it's a wonderful fantasy escape from the drudge of everyday reality. You'll be hooked almost immediately. I'll definitely watch this movie again and hopefully my memory of it will have been lost so I can re-enjoy it fresh and new all over again. Now is a better time to watch versus later (forget-me-not). Bon Appetit!

03-13-2024 - It's a decent movie but that's about it. Mediocre to really not very believable acting by many of the cast who play out an old "we've-seen-this-before" storyline. Predictable? Yes!!! Happy/Sappy ending. Frank Lammers aka Ferry Bouman was used as a box office draw and had little to do with this movie. Realistically it's about a 3–4-star onetime watch only movie but watch it anyway if you haven't already. Bon Appétit

09-10-2025 - Will address this movies quality after a few cast comments. Young black guy (actor Aml Ameen) used as an apparent cheaper stand-in for Will Smith and/or Jamie Foxx. He has their routines down cold! Lead actress Rhea Seehorn (Better call Saul) where her natural performance won me over many, many years ago. A perfect actress who delivers visual fantasy as if it were reality and is far undervalued as a Hollywood box-office draw actress. She's exceptional in my book of "I watch several movies almost every day". This movies storyline is exceptionally smooth, with less violence/less action at least in the very early part. The middle part is filler/storyline layering. OK, I' now about 2/3rds of the way to the finish, the actions finally started getting pretty good but it's a lot to late for any 5-Star rating review. It's really about a 3/4-Star movie but with so many 1 and 2's which are undeserved, I'll give it 4-Stars as an offset. Worth watching at least one time. Bon Appetit!
