An origins story centered on the centuries-old feud between the race of aristocratic vampires and their onetime slaves, the Lycans
MY REVIEW
The first time I watched this I was disappointed because for some reason I was unaware that it was a origins story, and I was not happy when I left the theater, but it grew on me. I really do like this story, it is a excellent origins story. I have watched it many times on Blue Ray. I missed Kate Beckinsale but Rhona Mitra did a excellent job as Sonja who was Viktor's daughter. I really liked how they blended a love story in all this carnage. This made all five movies blend together. It told the history of the coven and of the Lycans.
I know that Micheal Peterson may seem strange and weird to some people, but he is a fictional writer and he is not perfect but he is human. After watching the last 4 episodes of the series I truly feel and believe in my opinion that he is innocent. His wife's sisters where not interested in justice, they are still in disbelief and mourning the loss of their sister. I cringed when I heard them speak. I did not hear anything but revenge. They where not interested in all evidence that was plied against Peterson. They just wanted to serve revenge on anyone and Micheal Peterson was locked in their sights, his lawyer David Rudolf fought hard and long for him, and I believe he was disgusted just as Peterson was at the justice system.
Just because he was bi-sexual does not make him a murderer. It was a freak accident, a horrible freak accident. People that believe that he is guilty are not listening and don't care to listen. At one time Peterson had money so it was put the rich person in jail.
I don't blame Micheal Peterson for taking the plea deal, I would not trust the system anymore and would just want to end it as soon as possible. Just get it over and move on as best as I could and enjoy the rest of my days in peace if possible.
Micheal Peterson, if you are reading this ,I hope you have many long and joy filled days ahead of you.

IMDB Summary
47 Metres Down is a movie starring Mandy Moore, Claire Holt, and Matthew Modine. Two sisters vacationing in Mexico are trapped in a shark cage at the bottom of the ocean. With less than an hour of oxygen left and great white sharks circling nearby, they must fight to survive.
MY REVIEW
This movie started out very slow, I was ready to turn NETFLIX off, then things got better slowly. Then in another few mins I was hooked. I wanted to see more people get eaten by the sharks and I was disappointed leading up to the end. But it did fit the story line. It was a good shark movie but over all a bit to slow for me but enough to keep me hanging on. The disappointments had nothing to do with the acting, all my dislikes came from the directing and writing. However saying that, this would still be a good movie to add to my shark collection of Blue Rays from a discount shelf. But I would buy it.
MAIN CAST: Toni Collette, Milly Shapiro, Gabriel Byrne
IMDB Summary
After the family matriarch passes away, a grieving family is haunted by tragic and disturbing occurrences, and begin to unravel dark secrets.
MY REVIEW
For the first half hour I was bored to death with the movie, then a event took place and I was engaged totally. After that scary things started to happen and I was tensed up. It would get slow and then scare you half to death. Some parts I thought where over acting and it had to much unnecessary drama. I felt the director or actors was trying to hard to bring emotion into a situation. But when they did that, something would shock you. There was some laughable moments that would kill the scare, but I was pretty much tensed up while watching the movie and especially as it built up to the end. Over all it was a good movie and it reminds of a day when Hollywood did not use big budget special effects to scare you to death because it was more about the story.
IMDB SUMMARY:
American novelist, Michael Peterson, who was convicted of murdering his wife in 2003, is granted a new trial in 2017.
POSSIBLE SPOLIERS
I have watched the first 8 episodes of the series and I have been back and forth of my opinion, and as of episode 7 I believe he is innocent. While Michael Peterson seems a bit odd, lets remember that he is or was a novelist and a successful one at that. You have to have a imagination to write good novels. I am sure your mind has to go places that we can not imagine except when we are reading novels of great writers.
I watched as the defense prepped and worked the trial. I truly believe they where working a uphill battle. After the OJ Simpson murder trial in 1995, I feel courtrooms around America made celebrities the enemy, and they felt forced to find celebrities guilty after the OJ Circus with Judge Lance Ito and both sides of the prosecution and defense. I believe OJ was guilty but that was a messed up trial.
And lets be clear, I am not found of celebrities right now because of what seems to be a strong hatred of President Trump. I really support and like President Trump. But that does not mean that celebrities are all dangerous to the country, maybe some, but not all. We all have strong opinions and dark secrets and fantasies, but that does not make a person a murderer. But that is what the prosecution used to build the case.
I do not believe in the evidence that the prosecution presented, I really thought it was weak, but the judge in my opinion played favoritism to the Prosecution and a wrong verdict was delivered.
In episode 6 "The Prosecution's revenge you started to witness the defense facing the reality that they where going to lose.
I have only watched the first 8 episodes, so I am not sure how I will feel after I watch the last 5 episodes, when the case is reopened after Michael spent a few years in jail and reaches a plea deal. So watch for part to of this post.
IMDB Summary:
A seven-part docuseries about the unsolved murder of a nun and the horrific secrets and pain that linger nearly five decades after her death.
This Docuseries is not only sad but disturbing to your very soul.This makes the mafia or any organized crime look mild in comparison in what was done to these ladies starting with Sister Cathy.
This is what started all the investigations into the Catholic Church and Diocese of abuse. Cathy Cesnik was murdered back in late 1969. And to this day according to the series, the authorities including Baltimore, Maryland Police, the Justice Department, The FBI, and especially the Catholic Church have unreleased documents on what happened but will not release the information even under the 1967 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). When you watch each episode you are troubled that any organization could have such power to hide a crime. It is beyond disturbing. The allegations of abuse had to be going on long before Sister Cathy's Murder, but still we have no answers just investigations that go nowhere. When watching this series it makes you hurt, not only for Sister Cathy but for our entire Justice System because you will be able to see and follow what is wrong.
It is one thing for Law Officials and Civil Authorities to prosecute a case and lose, but to have them completely ignore it is unforgivable, disgusting and a complete disregard of justice that they are sworn to serve and protect.
MAIN CAST: Kate Beckinsale, Scott Speedman, Bill Nighy
This was one of the best sequels in movie history in that it did not try to make it better then before but continue where it left off from the first movie. Therefore making the history of the movie franchise stronger and richer. it's called Evolution and it did evolve. What I can't understand is why Micheal was such a horrible fighter. He always took a beating and Selene came to the rescue. Yes he did help her a few times but she was the one that got him out of tight spots more then he did her. They pumped up Micheal as a hero but Selene was clearly a better fighter. But this was a great movie no matter who the better hero was.
