Presley’s Popcorn Flicks: KSAT’s movie junkie returns with new reviews

I’m again and I’ve some nice information if you wish to skip the theater and watch one thing at house!

After being sick a number of days, I had loads of time to get caught up on some motion pictures and reveals, and I’ve to say there are a number of nice choices!

We’ve to begin with the present everyone seems to be buzzing about “Home of the Dragon.” It’s bringing all of the “Video games of Thrones” vibes and I’m right here for each second of it. I believe the primary episode completely laid the inspiration for what is bound to be an epic season. And whereas everyone knows there can solely be one Mom of Dragons, I believe this present goes to be fairly near perfection. I’m giving it a 4.8 out of 5 stars. I can’t wait to see what occurs subsequent!

“Vengeance” is a brand new rental that’s bringing all of the Texas feels.  This film is one half homicide thriller, one half drama, one half comedy and ten components love of Whataburger. The most effective half is that it retains you guessing till the top. And you may’t assist however fall in love with the loopy forged of characters. I believe this one is a should see for everybody who’s passionate concerning the Lone Star State. Simply don’t be stunned if it has you singing “deep within the coronary heart of Texas” because the credit roll. This one will get 4.5 out of 5 stars.

If you’re within the temper for some chills, I like to recommend “Orphan: First Kill.” It’s streaming on a number of platforms. That is the prequel to the 2009 film “Orphan.” I really like a film with loopy plot twists and sudden moments, and the primary “Orphan” has all the time caught with me. In the event you noticed it, you recognize precisely what I imply. That being stated, I used to be hesitant about how this one would stay as much as the creepiness of the unique. The decision? They did a reasonably good job. Whereas I didn’t discover it scary, there have been loads of moments that made my pores and skin crawl. I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars. It’s good, however not fairly pretty much as good as its predecessor.

“Watcher” is a brand new rental that may have you ever locking your door and checking it twice. It’s a sluggish burn thriller and never for everybody. You need to be affected person and actually immerse your self within the mindset of the mentally tortured primary character. If you are able to do that, buckle up for an emotional rollercoaster trip that’s really haunting. Regardless of these moments, I’m giving this one a 3 out of 5 stars due to the sluggish moments.

Are you needing a present to binge? Apple TV has you lined.

“Black Chicken” is superior. It tells the story of a real-life suspected killer and the person who tries to get him to admit. However the present has so many layers to discover. I don’t wish to give away an excessive amount of, simply know the appearing is high notch, and the wild story will maintain your consideration from begin to end. I’m giving this one a 5 out of 5 stars as a result of the forged is wonderful and also you received’t be capable to look away.

In search of a superb documentary? I’ve a pair of them from Netflix.

Let’s begin with “Untold: The Girlfriend Who Didn’t Exist.” It’s the story of Manti Te’o. Earlier than you begin this one, overlook every little thing you assume you recognize concerning the story. This blows every little thing out of the water, and solutions so lots of the questions that baffled the world of faculty soccer. To say this story is weird can be an understatement. The most effective half, you don’t need to be a sports activities fan to get hooked on the drama. It sucks you in on a wild trip and also you simply have to carry on tight. I’m giving this one 4.8 out 5 stars.

Lastly, we’ve to speak about “Trainwreck: Woodstock ‘99.” I can’t keep in mind what I used to be doing again in 1999, however I undoubtedly had no concept this firestorm was occurring in New York. Wild. The entire thing left me so shook.

I’ve to offer this one a 4 out of 5 stars as a result of it left me with so many questions.

Nicely, that’s all I’ve this time round, however don’t fear, I’m heading again to the theaters to catch a number of new motion pictures. I’ll preserve you posted, and I’ll even prevent some popcorn!
