"If wishes were horses, beggars would ride" Right? Our fantasies are called so because it's what we would love to have but don't. And with every false reality there are loopholes.

SPOILERS

Fantasy Island is a horror thriller. 5 strangers win an all expenses paid trip to a fantasy island which is owned by a business mogul. An Island that is said to grant you your deepest desires. Each guest filled out surveys about their dream fantasy and on arrival to the island, they get what they hoped for.

The fantasy starts out well with each one getting exactly what they hoped for; a redo. But everything in the island has a price. Every fantasy must be led to its final end.

The guests begin to realize that some things aren't right with their fantasies and the island and must work together to find a way out.

I have to say, for a thriller movie it was confusing at first. At first I thought it was a haunted movie but it wasn't. The powers of the Island must be truly magnificent, since it brought back a dead relative.

It's not a horror story that can be categorized with others. I don't understand why they didn't arrest Mr Roarke. What if another set of people fall victim? What if it's a trap?

I sincerely expected more scare factors. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'll give it a 6 for trying.

Movie Review: Death On The Nile

What a movie! I'm a stickler for investigative crime movies: Knives Out, Sherlock Holmes, Upper Room Fixer series, Enola Homes, etc. Trying to solve the crime with the detective as his mind wanders through a plethora of unusual suspects is just amazing to me and so you can understand why Death On The Nile was so intriguing. Movie Plot Detective Hercule Poirot (This surname needs some work) is back with murder within a murder within a murder within two more murders. While on a visit to Egypt, Poirot uncovers his greatest murder ever as a newlywed couple battles the envious eyes of friends and foe. Okay, so that happened. The movie uses an hour to drive us through what Poirot already tagged as acts 1, 2 and 3. We get to see Linnet shine and fall in love with her friend's man. Linnet First off, this was really low for Linnet. Come on already. Men are surplus and in quanta. She could have been with the doctor or found another one, but she opted for her friend's man. Why woul

Movie Review: The Adam Project

"Oh, that's funny. It farts when I laugh." I just can't.😂🤣🤣 Halo. Another movie review here. We'll be looking at The Adam Project. Movie Review A pilot goes back in time to search for his missing wife in so doing enlists the help of his younger self and his late father. From the first time I saw the trailer I knew I would laugh my ass out. Ryan Reynolds has decided to just feature in any movie he absolutely feels like. Storyline Let's start with the not-so spectacular part of this movie. The storyline wasn't excitingly crazy. It was there. Just there. Time travel with a blend of romance missions, messing with the timeline, embracing loss, and a happy beginning at the end. That pretty much sums it up. The good part is that it was grand. The action, the shooting, the comedy. Acts Ryan Reynolds was Ryan Reynolds and there's no changing him. The way he talks and laughs and just includes those ridiculous lines always has me in a g
