https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mnj-MXs1yVU Kersti Rating: 7/10 On Netflix! MVP: Not cinema gold, but worth watching.

Deathnote Movie Review
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvxNaSIB_WI Kersti Rating: 3/10 On Netflix! MVP: Not recommended. Not a complete waste of time, but not a satisfying experience. It wasn't even bad enough that it was funny. It has that little smidgen of 'mediocre' that kept it from being downright crap. It has absolutely nothing to do with the source material, aside from… Continue reading Deathnote Movie Review

I’m Not Even Ashamed to Admit it, I Loved the Troll Movie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foNN0ID_Fpo This post does not contain spoilers. So Trolls became available to view on Netflix this week. Out of boredom I decided to watch it in the background of doing some other stuff. I expected it to be a dumb and thoughtless movie made for the sole purpose of selling plastic toys. The Troll movie… Continue reading I’m Not Even Ashamed to Admit it, I Loved the Troll Movie
Get Out Movie Recommendation
Kersti Rating: 7/10 Worth Seeing in Theaters: No MVP: An amazing, socially conscious horror film. Really awesome. Worth your time. Nothing about the soundtrack or visuals stood out to me, so seeing this in your own home instead of a theater will in no way diminish your enjoyment. A must see, but not necessarily a… Continue reading Get Out Movie Recommendation
