On the lighter side-Movies-Maria (2019-Philippines)-Christine Reyes


A Filipino action movie about an assassin who quits the game but his former boss goes after her family inviting revenge from the former assassin. A story told several times before, nothing new. Not recommended. Available with Netflix

On the lighter side-Movies-Weaverfish (2013-U.K.)-Shane O’Meara, Lucy-Jane Quinlan


I was literally duped into watching this sorry excuse for a movie by an excellent review on the internet. A group of friends go a forbidden area of a river to party and then get stuck by a virus which slowly consumes their bodies. Very slow moving and the action/horror comes nearly at the end which is not enough. Available on Amazon with prime membership. Highly NOT Recommended
