HUSH (2016)

Rated:  R

Seen on Netflix

YouTube movie reviewer, Chris Stuckmann, recommended this movie on his channel.  My initial impression from reading the movie’s description was that this movie looked derivative of so many of the predator (twisted human not alien in this one) versus a seemingly unprepared weak victim (in this case a disabled woman). This movie is much smarter than that trope.

However this is an intense, deserves its R, movie.  For me, there was an almost tension relieving moment of humor in the last third of the movie due to an individual (not a main character) who was dumber than dirt. I am intentionally being vague to avoid spoilers.  This is a great thriller. I agree with Chris Stuckmann ‘s recommendation except, do not watch this movie alone, especially if you live in a cabin in the woods.

Hell and Back (2015)
R - animation (on Netflix)


This film made me laugh. I like the graphics. I was surprised at the details shown (some you might wish to unsee). The musical scoring is great. I recognized the names of most of the voice actors and have seen their stand-ups (live and on this service).  I rated it 3 out of 5 stars, as a few things made me cringe.  However maybe that was just me.  This is a (hard) R-rated comedy and meant for adults.  Adults, for this movie, should NOT BE sensitive, easily shocked and adverse to swearing.  Check out the stand-ups of the voice actors, you like those then you will like this move.
