A lot of little buzz jumped up on my reviews about this Sundance winner. Not realizing it was a New York movie as well as filmed in Black and White. I had no expectations whether good or bad, but slightly more excited because it was written, stared and directed in this debut movie.  here's the synopses.

Black Box (amazon prime)

As a fan of Blumhouse films, I saw that Amazon was going to release a set of horror/Drama movie for their prime subscription.  One of these happened to be a black cast movie that had a very interesting concept with identity or your soul

Time Trap (2017) Netflix

So this is a weird one. I’m usually into quality made movies or action packed epic films. Also If it is written well, a drama that catches my attention. But this recommendation was a 2017 B movie about time travel. I was told it was similar to my time travel preferences so I stopped to check it out. Here is the synopsis. A group of students become trapped inside a mysterious cave where they discover time passes differently underground than on the surface.

The Old Guard (Netflix)

As one of the top watched shoes on Netflix for awhile. I decided to watch this action movie with Charlize Theron. The fact that she is being deleted from the new Mad max reboot, I wanted to see what she she still had in the tank. This popular concept of immortal heroes fighting the wrongs in the world is not new but a bit different based on the secret society and finding a new recruit in the present day.

DA -5 - BLOODS (Netflix)

Since we are Spike Lee fans but lately we have been a bit cautious of his recent releases.  We didn't run out to see his Netflix release about 5 black men from the Vietnam war going back tot he country to recover a fallen brothers remains.  After Black KKKlansman we thought we would give this one a try since that was made a lot better than his other previous releases.

The Lovebirds (Netflix)

Not really thinking this would be worth the look.  We decided to give Issa and Kumail a try since it is on Neflix

On the brink of breaking up, a couple gets unintentionally embroiled in a bizarre murder mystery. As they get closer to clearing their names and solving the case, they need to figure out how they, and their relationship, can survive the night.

The Plagues of Breslau (Netflix)

Another Netflix foreign film, and this one is from Poland.  Not many movies or shows I've seen come out of Poland but this one seemed like something worth while seeing.  This is the summary.  After a body is found sewn inside of a cow hide.  A local detective discovers a killer is recreating an 18th century "plague" of criminal punishments on a bunch of bad people.  Now, does this sound like something we have seen before?
