A Quiet Place: Day One (2024)
Decent addition 7.5/10
I love these types of movies. I watched the first two multiple times and even the other one that's similar that I can't think of the name now. This one was my least favorite but it was still good.
The best part about it was the suspense. They did a great job in creating that. There were a couple slow parts that may have went on a few minutes too long.
The one thing I did not like about it was the casting. I didn't think any of the cast were right for the role they play. They just weren't believable. They felt out of place.
I'm excited about the third and final film in this series. It should be a good one!
Seinfeld (1989)
Comedy GOAT
I was in my teens in the 90's so I never really watched much television. I was always out running around so I never had the chance to enjoy much TV. I maybe had watched a dozen or so of these episodes until recently.
About a month ago I decided to watch the entire series from start to finish. It took a bit, I think there are close to 200 episodes. I loved every one of them.
The show just had perfect chemistry. The writing, the characters, the timing. This show was just a perfect mixture of all that. No slow seasons. Even the 'not the best' episodes were still funny.
The show has been debated and praised for years and I don't have anything to add. The Office was always my favorite show, but I think Seinfeld beat it out. Love this show!
Land of Bad (2024)
High quality action, plot holes, minor spoilers
This movie had some high quality and impressive action scenes. The gun fights were all well done. The effects of the explosions looked real! But it's hard to believe they were. Also the blood and all the fighting looked believable.
The plot wasn't anything new. Just a simple behind enemy lines rescue mission goes wrong sort of film. It was enjoyable though.
My main issue were the plot holes. There was no sense of time in the film. At one point they said they were on the mission for 12 hours but it had clearly been a day. Also at the end when the last missle had 1 minute and 45 seconds to reach destination, Crowe's character was able to leave the store, drive back to base, enter base, and about the mission. Nope.
Plus that home base or whatever where all the other military guys were watching basketball. There is no where on earth where there is that level of incompetence.
Great action flick though. I was tired watching it but it kept me from falling asleep.
Beverly Hills Cop III (1994)
A weak Threequel
This movie was just about what you would expect. It was considerably worse than the previous to and brought nothing new to the franchise. The acting was pretty poor throughout. Everyone acted like they were just goofing off and having fun with it. Nothing at all was serious with this movie, love interest between the two seemed forced. It was not needed.
That being said, it was not a horrible movie. There was some fun gunfire and a couple funny jokes throughout. I was not a fan of the way Eddie Murphy acted in the previous two movies. I thought his character was very annoying. He was much more mature and not as annoying in this one.
The latest and probably final Beverly Hills cop movie came out last month and I'm gonna jump right into that one.
Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
Nothing special. Typical 80's action comedy
This sequel was a lot like the first one. It was entertaining and there was a lot of action, but it really did not bring anything new to the table. The choreography with the action scenes were well done and it is always nostalgic to see an 80s action film with all the gunfire.
The plot itself was very basic just like the first one. It was like in the 80s they had a template for 80s action films and this one was number one on the list.
Like the first one I did not like Eddie Murphy acting. He is a fine actor, but when he over acts it becomes annoying, a lot like Jim Carey. Just tone it down a bit.
Twisters (2024)
Heavy on suspense, light on plot
I will just start off and say that I enjoyed this movie. It was very suspenseful. They did an excellent job with all the action scenes and it was all done very well. The CGI was some of the best I've ever seen. They really came along way from the previous twister movie.
My main and biggest gripe with this movie was the plot. It was just so implausible. I am not a meteorologist or scientist by any means, but what they were trying to do was just so absurdly dumb it made me roll my eyes.
Also, this movie took place during a major outbreak of tornadoes in the area that everyone knew about. Why would the city set up a fair in the middle of downtown during all of these tornadoes?
Did I like it better than the first one? I think I like the first one better.
Beverly Hills Cop (1984)
Classic 80's buddy cop comedy
When I think of comedies from the 80s involving cops first movie that comes to mind is this one. I think this movie defined the genre although I'm certain there are hundreds of others that are just like it or better.
There was nothing really groundbreaking in this movie. The plot was so simple of this era that it was so predictable.
And unpopular opinion of mine is the comedy of Eddie Murphy. I just did not find him funny in this movie. I think he's a great actor and I find him very charming. I just did not think he's that funny in this movie.
I was going to watch the first two and then the new one that just came out in 2024 but after doing some research I found there are actually three ones from a while back. I have some watching to do.
The River Wild (1994)
Fun Thriller
This movie was pretty enjoyable from start to finish. It was a little predictable in parts. You kind of knew who the bad guys were and how it would end. No real surprises.
The scenery was just simply beautiful. The rapids the canyons and just everything about that part of the country was gorgeous. It really made me never want to go river rafting ha ha ha.
My only complaint about this movie was that kid Roarke. I remember him from the Jurassic Park movie. He's just kind of a whiny little brat. I am hoping one day I stumble upon a movie where his character dies in it.
Anyway, just a fun thriller that's a definite must watch if you're in the mood.
Alone (2020)
Unanswered Questions. 5.5/6.0
About the only thing this movie did well was creating suspense. The music and the sound effects and the camera angles were all pretty good. Because of all that it kept my attention throughout the entire film.
What I did not like and this was a big thing was the plot. Unless I missed something, they did not explain at all why the bad guy was doing the things he did. I'm trying not to spoil anything, but the bad guy knew who the girl was but it was never explained how or why.
And that ending was just too sudden and kind of predictable. I like movies with some closure and this one did not deliver on that.
Geostorm (2017)
Plot, casting, and acting. Ugh
The plot was one of the dumbest I've ever seen. I wasn't overly upset by it because it was what it was. I read the description. I knew that going in. Geez.
The casting? Was there one person in the film that was right for the role? I think they just drew names out of a hat and said 'Bob, here's your role. Susan, you're playing this person.' No one fit their role. Gerard Butler is not a great actor and he may have been the best one? The president? Omg
The acting was poor throughout. Just overly emotion in every seen and no one behaved like they should've.
I wasn't expecting much so I'm not too upset. The special effects were pretty good though. It's almost worth watching the weather wreak havoc on civilization.
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985)
Worst of the trilogy
This was the worst of the trilogy but still wasn't a bad movie. There was still that post apocalyptic feel to it which they were able to bring over from the first and second.
Two things I didn't like about this one. The Thunderdome was such a small part of this movie. I was thinking since the name is in the title it would have a bigger presence but sadly it didn't. Second it was the kids. I just didn't like their scenes too much. They tried to be funny and cute and they weren't.
Was it just me or did it seem like there were a lot of Star Wars and Indiana Jones references in this? They were huge in the mid 80's but dang it seemed like they just ripped them off.
Decent third film. Just felt a little flat. I was wanting a bit more.
Mad Max 2 (1981)
Amazing action scenes!
Like others have said, this was one of those few sequels that were better than the original. Thankfully I went in with low expectations so I definitely enjoyed it.
The plot itself wasn't anything spectacular and neither was the acting. Nothing about them impressed me much. The real joy came from all the action. All scenes were well choreographed. During the last chase scene my heart was racing watching it. The ending had you guessing the entire time. Of course that was all due to the increased budget.
I'm binge watching these this week and I glanced at the 3rd one and saw the average reviews so again my expectations will be tempered.
Mad Max (1979)
Not very PA for a PA movie
I love a good post apocalyptic (PA) movie, book, tv show, video game whatever. I've always wanted to see this movie and finally did. I saw hospitals, police stations, stores, etc. I get there are different levels of complete societal breakdowns but I was wanting more here.
That all being said the movie was ok I guess. It started off pretty slow and didn't really pick up until the last 30 minutes or so and then it got really intense.
The camera was weird throughout. It had that weird jumping around thing that movies did during that time.
Is all of Australia just open wildness? I don't think I've ever seen a civilized city there, PA or not.
Glory (1989)
Great story from start to finish
This movie was told like a book. It started out with basically nothing and throughout the film you got to know the characters and see them evolve. Just great story telling.
There were several big name actors in this one. Morgan freeman always seems like he's the same age in all of his films.
I'm not sure how historically accurate this movie was and I'm really not interested in finding out. I just enjoyed it.
The ending took me a bit by surprise. I can't tell if I liked it or not. I'm going to guess that the ending was the most divisive part of the film. Since it wasn't what I was expecting I will say I enjoyed it.
Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)
Little slow. Lot of dialogue
This movie wasn't bad it was just a little slow. The plot was boring and predictable. The conclusion was unsatisfying. It just was a pretty below average film to me.
What made it worthwhile were the characters and dialogue. I think that was the movies main purpose, to show case these actors and their abilities. The dialogue was crisp and sharp, it made a lot of sense and none of it was too over the top.
The plot itself was just kind of boring. I imagine if you read this as a book you would fall asleep. This is one of those rare movies where the film is much much better than the book.
I just wasn't feeling it. I need a bit more action and suspense for me but I imagine this movie was perfect for some people.
Fahrenheit 451 (1966)
Refreshing movie idea
I watch a lot of films and it's always refreshing when I see one with a new and unique plot idea. I also have a liking for old 60s sci-fi movies. This movie had both of the things that I loved.
I never read the book and probably never will but from what I hear this was a very good adaptation from the book. It's just kind of scary thinking what the government is capable of and how much people will allow their rights to be taken away.
I would have bumped up a number if it weren't for the end. Some people loved the ending, I did not. It just kind of fizzled out. It was very anti-climatic, but at least they sewed up all the loose ends.
1883 (2021)
Great origin story
We all love the Duttons and it was great to finally see how their family settled in Montana.
The cast was great. I wasn't sure about Tim and Faith but they definitely had some chemistry and it was fun to watch them act together instead of sing.
The realism that was portrayed was excellent. It wasn't too violent and wasn't too gritty. It just showed how every day life was back then.
The scenery was amazing. Such a beautiful part of the country and the vistas were incredible.
I do wish they had made it longer or added another season to it. They traversed quite a distance and it could've been stretched a bit.
I can't get enough of the Duttons and I'm looking forward to more spinoffs of the original Yellowstone show.
Blockers (2018)
Funny and new! 7.5/10
This was a classic 'sit down for a 100 minutes and don't expect much and leave with a few laughs' type of movie. It was funny. No one can argue other wise.
The plot was new and different which I liked. It wasn't the same ole rehashed comedy bit with new actors. It was actually a new take on a teen comedy, although not really a teen comedy.
The cast was great. The 3 younger ladies were pretty good especially the Indian one, I can't remember her name.
I wouldn't watch this with your kids, as it was an adult movie. There was some frontal male nudity that wasn't really needed but whatever.
Overall a great new comedic idea with a great cash that will make you laugh out loud several times. I did.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022)
Horror cliches abound!
I will start this review off by saying I am not a fan of horror or slasher movies. I watched a lot of movies and the genre just never appealed to me.
This movie had so many horror clichés in it. It was nauseating. How many times did they have the opportunity to kill the villain and consciously decided not to. It's an old trope that is worn out and needs to go away.
This movie had two redeeming qualities. The first was the length. With credits it was about an hour and 15 minutes. The second was the villain. I admit they did a pretty good job with him. He was pretty scary and creepy. Also, maybe that bus scene was cool. That was pretty intense.
This could've been an OK movie but all those clichés and it just really were frustrating.
Wonka (2023)
Surprise hit!
I've never been a big fan of the Wonka movies. I've never even seen the previous two of them with Johnny Depp and the other one. For some reason, the whole vibe of the movies really turned me off.
I was surprised at how much I liked this one. The singing parts were pretty short, thankfully. I never enjoy those movies. They always seemed a little cringe. The plot itself was OK. Nothing too new.
What really made this movie for me where the characters. About everyone was unique and had a pretty distinct personality. Even the very subtle secondary characters that had very minor parts were fun to watch.
I watched this with my girlfriend and her two young daughters, and we all stayed awake, and really enjoyed it!
The Family Plan (2023)
Fun Family Comedy
This movie was exactly what you expected. Just a quick and easy funny family comedy. They didn't try and reinvent anything. Just relied on some silly scenes and the charisma from the actors and it all worked. If you are looking for something like this to steam you'll enjoy it.
The plot was kind of cool. You've seen it before but they put a different spin on it that worked. With Hollywood running out of ideas this was surprising it worked.
Marky Mark is still jacked at 53. He's starting to look old but still is likable and a draw to the theaters.
What happened to the gun that fell in the van during the chase scene? Should I submit a good to IMDb?
Gone Girl (2014)
Amazing twist!
If you haven't heard of this please try to avoid all spoilers. They will ruin it.
This was a pretty good movie adaptation of the book. I remember reading the second half of the book in one sitting. When that twist hits, wow.
I know it's hard to cram everything in a book into a movie but I felt this film was a bit long. They could've trimmed it down 30 minutes I think. Especially that second half. It just kept dragging and dragging.
Also the acting from the two mains wasn't that great. Affleck has never been a great actor and the female seemed like she was over acting, idk.
Great movie though. The book was better of course! But the film was pretty darn good.
My Cousin Vinny (1992)
Hilarious Classic
I don't know of anyone who hasn't seen this. It's just pure fun.
Marisa Tomei stole the movie for me. Every scene she was in was great, especially the court scene towards the end. She is a fantastic actor and simply just a gorgeous woman.
All of the other characters shined too. The judge, the sheriff, the prosecutor. There were no real villains in this movie and that was refreshing. Everyone was likable.
Marisa Tomei. What a great job she did in this movie. Did she win any awards? I'm not sure.
I've seen this movie maybe 4 or 5 times and I can guarantee it won't be my last. A definite must watch.
Reign of Fire (2002)
Different movie idea!
I'm always interested in watching a movie that has a new plot idea. It seems like they are always rehashing old plots and this was refreshing.
The CGI for 2002 was pretty incredible. That was over 20 years ago and I remember movies back then being very cheesy. Maybe this one had a pretty big budget I don't know. Very good CGI.
I wasn't crazy about the idea of the alpha male. I won't spoil anything, but it sounded like a cheap cop out to me.
The ending happened kind of sudden and quick. I was hoping there was a longer resolution to the movie but it was just over an hour and a half so it wasn't a very long movie.
Someone else said a pretty good sleeper hit!
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)
Fantastic. Beautiful. Funny. Wow.
Like most people, I went into this with to mild expectations. I've seen the previous dungeons and dragons movies and even though I thought they were OK, they just were not all that great. They really outdid themselves with this one.
I played dungeons and dragons a lot when I was a kid. And the references to that game in this movie were amazing. It's been a few years but I can still point out the different monsters and settings and spells etc.
I really hope they do more movies with this universe. Turn it into like a Marvel or Star Wars type thing. I want to see more movies and spin offs and just a whole lot. More of everything in this movie. Well done I love this film.
