I Am Elizabeth Smart (2017 TV Movie)
10/10
A True story of a Survivor
15 April 2023
I remember when Elizabeth Smart was Kidnapped, I was eleven years old and I am from Salt Lake City Utah. My parents would watch the news reports and updates on her kidnapping, I remember some things but not a lot of things. I remember when she was finally found, and I remember feeling relieved and I was happy, I was a kid then and her situation scared me.

I heard about this 2017 tv movie and I decided to check it out at my local library, watching it all these emotions came to me, anger, disgust, hope, and fear. What makes this movie so real is the fact that it's based on actual events, and it is narrated by Elizabeth Smart herself. What this woman went through as a young teenage girl is horrific. The actors and actresses did an amazing job, Alana Boden who played Smart was phenomenal, and Skeet Ulrich did amazing as the psycho Brian David Mitchell the way he played Mitchell just sucked you in, Deirdre Lovejoy was amazing too as Wanda Barzee Mitchells psychotic assistant, and first wife. I believe everything that went on in this movie and how it was acted out, plus if it is coming from Elizabeth's mouth it is true and I believe it. I'm giving I am Elizabeth Smart 10/10, a story of a true survivor and what she went through.

Mortal Kombat (2021)
9/10
Get Over Here!!
9 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Today I just barely watched this Mortal Kombat, and I highly enjoyed it I enjoyed the fighting scenes, the story, and the characters. I have heard that this is the first movie out of a trilogy they are making which is awesome. I am surprised that this new version got so much hate. When you make a movie based off of a video game it is going to have its ups and downs.

There is a story, a deeper story in this movie then the Mortal Kombat movies with Robin Shou and it evolves the characters Scorpion and Sub-Zero.

The story shows how these two classic characters have had a bitter rivalry that has lasted for centuries, I like that I like how the writers went in depth about Scorpion and Sub-Zero and how their rivalry leads into this current tournament in this movie. All the cast did great I like Josh Lawson's character of Kano his personality and attitude work great with playing Kano. The fights scenes were exciting, and I can see they were trying to make it like the game, it worked, and they were fun, but not as much as the fight scenes in the first movies. My ultimate favorite fight was between Scorpion and Sub-Zero at the end that was awesome, a final fight between rivals of centuries.

Mortal Kombat was fun, but the fights except the last one could have been better. I can't wait to see what they do with upcoming sequels. Major Mortal Kombat fan here. I give Mortal Kombat 9/10.

Hocus Pocus 2 (2022)
10/10
The Sandersons are Back! Not the Original but it has the same Vibes
2 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Tonight I just watched Hocus Pocus 2 and it was really good. It was fun to see Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker together again after such a long time. This new story takes place 29 years after the original and three teenage girls are the main characters. For a sequel that was done after such a long gap in between the first movie it was pretty good and entertaining, sure it wasn't the original, but it had the original vibes and some of the original humor in it.

I also liked how they added a short side story about how the Sanderson sisters were girls and how it shows how they became witches. I liked the new and old cast they did a great job Doug Jones returns as the "Good Zombie" Billy Butcherson and he does a fantastic job. The story is good and there are a few surprises along the way, I would have liked to see Max, Dani or Allison back in this one, but it was still very good without them. There is a few new songs and I think they are great. I watched this with my wife and my mom, and both liked it a lot, my mom said it reminded her of the original and they both got a kick out of it. It was a very satisfying sequel and very fun. It is very funny and towards the end it is very emotional too. Stick around after the credits there is a special treat you need to catch.

10/10 for Hocus Pocus 2.

Pinocchio (I) (2022)
8/10
Not a classic Pinocchio but a good one
28 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I just finished watching Pinocchio and I have to honest I enjoyed it, it wasn't the best version of the classic Disney story, but it was good, not great but good. There is a couple of things that I didn't like in the movie first is Monstro, to me he was a weird version of the whale, he was like a mix of an octopus and a whale? Where that Idea came from, I don't know? Second is some of the musical numbers were unnecessary they were fun but some where it just took away from the classic Disney story, there were some songs I liked and some I did not. Third is, is it just felt different than what I am used to, I grew up with the animated Disney movie. And the blue fairy was weird, unique, but weird. I also didn't like how they didn't show Pinocchio become a real boy fully, that kind of disappointed me.

There are some good things that I like about this live Pinocchio movie too, Tom Hanks does a great job as Geppetto, he kind of even looks like the one from the animated movie. I also like how Pinocchio makes a new friend in this movie Sabina the puppeteer and how she is willing to be his friend and help him. I liked the new setting for Pleasure Island and how they added not just boys but girls to the troublemakers, that was a cool and unique twists. And another thing I like the magic basing Pinocchio on Geppetto's real son that he had lost, that was also a unique play into the story.

There are so many haters with this movie it's not that terrible people, it's not classic either but it is enjoyable and Zemeckis did his best. I enjoyed it and felt it was a feel-good story, even though it wasn't exactly like the animated version. What Disney live action version follows its animated version to the T? None of them. Hence why I give it an 8/10 it wasn't perfect, but it was enjoyable.

8/10 for the live Pinocchio.

If you build it, your dad will come
11 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Field of Dreams is an amazing Baseball movie, and it is one of my favorites. It is not just about Baseball but about miracles and second chances. It's about the passion of Baseball but also what drives those passions.

Ray Kinsella (played by Kevin Costner) is a simple Iowa farmer with a family. One evening a mysterious voice tells Ray "If you build it, he will come." driven to find out what this mysterious voice means, it dawns on Ray to build a baseball field in his cornfield. Soon, ghost of former baseball players come to play on Ray's field including the legendary Shoeless Joe Jackson, but there is more to this field then what Ray realizes. Soon a former peace writer named Terence Mann (played by James Earl Jones) and a former past baseball player come into the mix.

But the most important lesson Ray learns is the lesson of second chances a figure from his past is also playing on the field. And this figure will change his life forever.

This movie is a must see, not only for Costner fans, but also for people who believe in second chances. The film has a lot of heart and excitement about Baseball but also the importance of family and what it takes to make things right. 10/10 for Field of Dreams.

A Great Baseball Movie
11 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Angels in the Outfield is one of my favorite baseball movies, it has a good story and a good cast of characters. It's one of those movies that you will never forget no matter how much you watch it.

Roger Bowman (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a kid who just wants a family, his offbeat dad tells him that if the LA Angels win the pennant of the baseball season, Roger and he will be a family again. So having a little faith Roger says a prayer for the baseball team and that they will win. Pretty soon miracles start to happen, and a team of angels led by Al the boss Angel (played by the classic and incredible Christopher Lloyd) helps the LA Angels win and climb their way to the finals. The head manager George Knox (who is played by Danny Glover) puts his trust and faith in Roger, but he learns something more about this incredible kid.

Angels in the Outfield is not only about Baseball, but it is about life and the ups and downs we all go through, and it is about faith as well.

It's about a kid who with a little faith discovers his true family and the miracles that follow, it's about going through life knowing that not everyone you know will let you down.

I cry every time I watch this movie not only because of the story but also because of the message this movie is about. Family, faith, and having hope in life. 10/10 for Angels in the Outfield.

I choose not to look away and I loved it
10 September 2022
Lemony Snickets A Series of Unfortunate Events is a must see for anyone who is a fan of the books of the same name. This series follows the books very well and is a very Entertaining, a word which here means "providing amusement or enjoyment" Netflix show. All the episodes go along well with the books and the cast does an amazing job. Malina Weissman and Louis Hynes do incredible as Violet and Klaus Baudelaire and Neil Patrick Harris does amazing and is very sinister as the villain Count Olaf.

I liked the 2004 movie with Jim Carry's performance as Count Olaf, but Neil is the perfect Olaf with enough humor and evil to pull it off. And this series is way better than the movie, I also liked Patrick Warburton's performance as Lemony Snicket his voice and personality fit the character well. 10/10 for Lemony Snickets Series of Unfortunate Events.

Venom (2018)
10/10
Tom Hardy gives Venom the Justice that he needs
14 October 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I just say this movie today, it was awesome this has got to be the best portrayal of Venom I have ever seen. Tom Hardy gives Venom the justice that the character deserves (unlike Topher Grace, who portrayed Venom in the worst kind of way.) They make Venom very creepy yet funny and I love the voice inside the head conversations that Eddie and Venom have.

The way they portray the symbiotic side of things is awesome and I love how Eddie and Venom work together. They are both losers as Venom so hilariously states it. Venom talks in a creepy yet cool kind of way like the monster he is.

Venom's villain, Riot was pretty cool but I went into this movie expecting Carnage to be the main villain. But he wasn't but that's fine (All I will say is wait till after the credits). It was pretty cool that Marvel and Sony branched off of the MCU for a bit and did kind of a back story.

It was a great movie and I am going to see it again that's how good it was. 10/10 for Venom

The Kid (2000)
10/10
A Keeper, the Kid is Fun and Enjoyable
12 August 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Seeing this movie just brings a smile to my face, Disney's The Kid is a movie that you will never get bored of no matter how many times you watch it, the humor and one liners are hilarious, and the story is a piece of great imagination.

Bruce Willis plays a self centered, rude image consultant named Russ who thinks life basically sucks, and yet he has everything, he is rich, has a nice home, has a nice car and a woman who really cares about him, but yet he does not see everything he truly has. One night he gets a visit from his past, his eight-year old self comes sneaking in, throughout the story the young Rusty helps his older self see the good things in life and opens his eyes to the important things he truly has.

This story reminds me of The Christmas Carole with it's past, present, and future concepts, it's like a fun story about Ebeneezer Scrooge but more light and fun. I laugh every time a watch this movie and will never stop liking it. Give it a go, I'm sure it will make you laugh just as much as it did me.

10/10 for The Kid

The Meg (2018)
8/10
Makes Jaws look like a Pushover
12 August 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I feel the producers made this movie to see if they could beat Jaws at size and scares, and I have to admit they did a good job on that.

The story is about a research team, as they have the technology to go deeper into the ocean and study life there, as they do so the team runs into an prehistoric shark called Megolodon a creature thought to have been extinct 2.8 million years ago. Things go wrong, and all hell breaks loose, but one man is determined to stop and kill the beast.

The Meg is a fun movie and I liked the fact they brought in a prehistoric beast into the picture, think Jaws, but three times as big. The fact that this was an actual creature that lived millions of years ago makes it even more believable and fun. The stars of the show are Jason Stratum who plays the main character and the hero. I didn't recognize any other character, except the one dude who is from "The Office" who plays the millionaire funding the whole research program.

All in all The Meg was very entertaining except the reason I give it an 8 is because I felt the deaths in the story were to quick and and some parts were predictable, I also think Jason was trying to hard to be the hero, I mean he acted like more of a super hero then just a regular man, and I found it cool but I felt he overdid it on the heroic part. The film had lots of good scares and was fun, it's a good movie to take a date too or a friend.

8/10 for The Meg

Tarzan II (2005 Video)
9/10
A great Midquel that does a lot of justice for the Original
12 August 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Tarzan 2 is the story that goes on during the actual story or the original, kind of like Lion King 1/2 it is one of those stories that explains a lot and answers a lot of questions. This story is about Tarzan's childhood and the adventures he goes on, it is mostly about him finding out who he really is and excepting that he is unique and has his own special skills.

Along the way he makes new friends who teach him about things, and in turn he teaches them about new things. I also liked the fact that it just focuses on Tarzan and not Jane, don't get me wrong I love Jane she is great and I love the romance of Tarzan and Jane, this story is great because we get to see more of Tarzan's childhood that was sort of a mystery in the original. And we get to see him acquire some of his amazing skills like tree surfing and his first Tarzan yell.

Tarzan 2 is a fun film with new characters and a new story. And it does answer questions viewers might have about his childhood. Reason I give it a 9 is I feel it could have explained a lot more then it did, and a good amount was explained, it's just I wish they would have explained more.

9/10 for Tarzan 2

Tarzan & Jane (2002 Video)
9/10
A good sequel that shows the continuing adventures of Tarzan and his Jane
12 August 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This sequel is pretty good, and for Tarzan I feel it does justice to the original. It's a story about Tarzan and Jane's life together and their adventures.

I find it fun that Jane has adapted to her new life with her jungle man, and she has changed sure she is girly still but like her husband she has become a survivor and knows the jungle and her dangers. Jane is trying to come up with a surprise for her and Tarzan's one year anniversary and she tells this to Tantor, Terk, and her father Professor Porter, each trying to help her, relates a story or adventure that her and Tarzan has had and each story relates to a thing Jane can do for Tarzan. Eventually, that's not the big surprise though.

Tarzan and Jane is fun and enjoyable, sure it's not the original, and I am surprised how many negative reviews were written about it. The only reason I give it a 9 is because of the animation, it doesn't seem as full of life as the originals animation but it is still good don't get me wrong. I like the part where Jane has her friends go in their knickers to survive, I found it kind of hot I guess. Tarzan is Jane is a good laughable sequel and is highly enjoyable.

9/10 for Tarzan and Jane

Tarzan (1999)
10/10
A Film About Personal Discovery
12 August 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Tarzan is a Disney classic, it will always be one of my favorite movies. Tarzan is just not a film about a man growing up in the jungle, it is a film about self discovery.

In the film Tarzan discovers who he really is, and his story is kind of a sad one. His parents and him are marooned, they try to survive but are killed by a Leopard. Tarzan is raised by wild apes and basically that is his whole environment. But I believe Tarzan is a story about self discovery, it is about a human being discovering who he is a how special he is. A lot of Disney movies aim toward good messages, and Tarzan aims towards excepting who you are no matter your differences.

The story is great and the characters make it even more great. For it's time the animation is fabulous. Some of my favorite Characters are Tantor, Terk, and of course Tarzan. Jane is pretty funny too, and I find her attractive for a cartoon character when I was a kid I thought she was pretty, still think so. The film also brings in great music with Phil Collins singing every song, and doing a great job.

Tarzan is a story about self discovery and about excepting who you are. A great message to kids and adults.

10/10 for Tarzan

Christopher Lloyd and Jeff Daniels in one epic comedy movie
5 August 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I've got to say that My Favorite Martian has be one out of many of my favorite Disney movies. Paring up Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future) and Jeff Daniels (Dumb and Dumber) is got to be the greatest idea ever made in the history of comedy movies.

Tim O' Hara is a struggling news reporter who is just trying to find a good story to do. His boss is ungrateful, and his boss's daughter whom he likes turns out to be a prissy brat. One night while driving home space ship crashes on the beach, and it turns out it has a lovable, comedic character with it.

Putting two comedy actors in one movie was a great move, both of these comedy stars bring so much laughs and fun, there were moments I couldn't stop laughing, like the part when Martin the martian first shows up and impersonates Tim with Lizzy. I love the quotes in this movie, they are not only very funny but classic.

You will enjoy this film, my wife and I did and be prepared to laugh a lot and I mean a lot it's that kind of movie where two comedy stars work their magic together.

10/10 for My Favorite Martian

Don't over estimate the importance of doing nothing
5 August 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Growing up I always loved the Winnie the Pooh movies, and even as adult I love them still. When I heard this movie was coming out I wanted to see it. And It wasn't disappointing at all.

Many years have gone by and Christopher Robin has left the Hundred Acre wood and grown up into an adult. He has served in World War 2, has gotten married, and now has a little girl. The stresses of daily life and being an adult overwhelm him and he losses sight of the most important things in his life. Until one day he receives a surprise visit from a very close, stuffed with fluff friend.

Disney has made some pretty great movies, and this new one is one of them. Christopher Robin I feel was not only made for kids, but adults as well. When I went to see it today many adults walked out of the theater saying how fun it was, and I totally agree. This movie will not only entertain your kids, but you as well and bring out the kid in you again.

Life lessons can be learned from this movie, like family and friendship. But most important of all in this busy world we live in with our busy lives, we need to take the time to realize the important things we have, and most important, take time to have fun and be silly just like a kid again. Christopher Robin shows us how to be a kid again and enjoy the simple yet fun things in life we have.

I recommend this Disney masterpiece to adults and kids alike. The animation is great and makes you feel like the stuffed animal characters really do come to life. The actors and actresses do great, Ewan Mcgregor especially does a wonderful job as the adult Christopher Robin who has lost his touch of childhood and fun. This movie will make you laugh, cry, and feel just generally happy. And for Winnie the Pooh fans out there, there is plenty of comical Pooh moments. I really enjoyed this movie, thank you Disney for working your magic.

10/10 for Christopher Robin

A Journey of Self Redemption and Forgiveness
4 August 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I haven't watched an emotional movie in a long time, but this one really hit me hard. The Straight story is about an elderly man who makes a long journey of redemption and forgiveness.

Alvin Straight is humble old man who lives in a small town called Lawrence in Iowa. He lives with his daughter Rose who is a little slow mentally. One day, Alvin receives a phone call that his brother Lyle has had a serious stroke and who resides in Wisconsin . Not having seen his brother in 10 years, Alvin makes a journey of lifetime, he fixes up his old lawnmower, hitches a trailer to the back of it and hits the road intent on seeing his brother and forgiving him. Along the way he encounters different people and impacts them in a good way.

My wife and I watched this for a our Disney marathon and it really touched us. We both thought what it would be like to make the same journey. This movie is very touching and the best part of all is it is true. It is a story about two brothers who were best friends, became bitter enemies, and one brother wants to have that same relationship again and make amends.

It will bring tears to your eyes, make you laugh, and make you realize that our lives our short and that the will to forgive and the journey it takes is all worth it.

Explore new worlds, live the adventure, read a book and live it
29 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
One of my favorite movies is The Pagemaster, a classic adventure you will never forget even when you get older. It is a story of Adventure, bravery, and facing your fears. And it stars two great actors who are never forgettable.

Richard Tyler is just about afraid of everything, and he is driving his dad insane with his ridiculous fears. One day, his dad sends him on an errand and he ends up trapped in a library due to a fierce thunder storm. His life will never be the same again.

The Pagemaster brings classic literature like Treasure Island, Moby Dick, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde to life. It is a story about facing your fears and conquering them against all odds. I love how Richard befriends three books, Adventure, Fantasy, and Horror each with their own unique character personalities and each voiced by Patrick Stewart (Adventure), Whoopi Goldberg (Fantasy), and Frank Welker (Horror) all give the characters true life. The animation is great and I find it fun how Tyler goes from real world to cartoon world.

The movie also sends a message to kids and adults, that reading is fun and enjoyable and that your imagination can take flight with a good story. The two main actors Macaulay Culkin and Christopher Lloyd make this movie magic. The Pagemaster will always be fun for me, and one day I hope to show it to my kids who I hope will benefit from it's messages.

A great movie about overcoming fear and gaining power from the written word.

Inspector Gadget 2 (2003 Video)
7/10
More Goofier then the First but fun
29 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Mr. Gadget returns but with a completely different actor and cast. I think the film makers were trying to redeem themselves from the downfall that came from the first one. It worked but only a little.

Inspector Gadget is trying to do whats right but he keeps messing up, eventually a new more improved gadget comes along, this time it's a robot of a kick butt woman. The claw returns from the first film but we never see his actual face which was kind of disappointing but it kept the mystery up.

This new gadget was fun, but it still had the damper humor as the first one and it seemed more cartoonish, almost like Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I mostly liked it because of the attractive actress who played G2, she was pretty hot. And this time Penny seems more the hero then her goofy gadget uncle.

It was fun but a little to sappy and dumb
29 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I remember watching a little bit of the Inspector Gadget cartoons and liking them. But I'm afraid to say the movie is kind of a disappointment.

I could tell the film makers tried to make it funny and likable but they overdid it and it ended up cheesy and sappy, sure I got some laughs out of it but it wasn't hooking. The story is about a goofy cop getting a complete make over and becoming a cyborg cop with a bunch of gizmo's and gadgets. Mathew Broderick deserves better he is a great actor and this film was bad for him.

I remember seeing this as a kid in the theaters but now that I'm an adult it wasn't so appalling to me, little kids with love it, but adults might think otherwise.

One of the Best super Hero movies I have ever Seen!!
29 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
One of the best Super Hero movies I have ever seen, Avengers: Infinity War blew me away. Seeing all the amazing super heroes in one movie was amazing, the story was great, and the villain Thanos is the great villain I have seen in a marvel movie. The effects were amazing and the action was at the edge of your seat.

Thanos, one of the most powerful beings in the universe is planning to gather the infinity stones, gems that will grant him powers beyond imagination. Earths super heroes the Avengers team up with Doctor Strange, Black Panther and the Guardians of the Galaxy to stop him. Its a fight against one of the most powerful forces in the MCU.

The story is very dramatic, and dark. One of the more darker stories in the MCU and its one of the best super hero movies I have seen, I am a Marvel fan and loved AIW it wasn't disappointing and it is a movie you want to see over and over again. To see a bunch of heroes in one gigantic movie was amazing, Of course I read the comic before I saw the movie and it was good, but I have to say that the movie was better. The story takes place in three perspectives, Guardians of the Galaxy and Iron Man and Spider Man, The Avengers on earth Captain America, Black Panther, Hulk ect. and Thor and Rocket Raccoon.

What I didn't know is a little bit of Ant Man and the Wasp also takes place in the story. The movie had good action scenes, and the characters had purposes. The ending blew me away with Thanos activating the Stones and having certain heroes disappear, there were some parts that brought tears to my eyes, the movie is very emotional and you don't get that a lot from super hero movies, but this one did. I can't wait for part two, the ending left me wanting more. And I believe part two will be more mind blowing then this first part.

The Story of Ant Man Continues
29 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The sequel to Ant Man was fun for me, Ant Man is one of marvels unique stories and this second one didn't disappoint. The story is good as it connects in a way to Marvels: Avengers: Infinity War and it reveals characters that were unknown before.

Ant Man is joined by the Wasp and the duo make a great team. Hank Pym discovers that his wife is still alive and he plans on rescuing her. And a new villain makes an appearance but she is not really a villain. Ant Man is a unique character to the MCU and I really did enjoy it.

Welcome....To Jurassic World
24 June 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This hit sequel to Jurassic World was fun and exciting for me, I have been a Jurassic Park fan all of my life and when I saw this yesterday it did not disappoint me. My wife was working and I was bored so I bought a ticket for this movie because I really wanted to see it.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom takes place three years after the disaster at Jurassic World the Island Isla Nublar is a danger zone as a once dormant volcano starts to come to life again. Hired by a successor to John Hammond, Clair is assigned to help rescue the dinosaurs on the island, she then seeks out Owen Grady's help saying Blue is still on the island and Owen needs to find her. Turns out the whole rescue operation is a giant scheme, but man cannot outwit nature and, life finds a way.

I give this sequel a 10 the story was good, and the rescue of the dinosaurs was very dramatic. You actually feel for the creatures when mother nature unleashes the volcano and it's destruction. Seeing the Brontosaurus be covered by that cloud of ash as the boat sails away from the island was sad, to hear it's last cries, almost brought tears to my eyes. What really made my day was how they brought back Ian Malcolm (a very older Ian Malcolm) to the movie, though, I wish he a had a bigger part in it but he was still classic.

A new dinosaur takes the lead in this one, a very freaky one too. But nonetheless amazing and cool. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom had a much bigger purpose then it's predecessor, a lot of emotion, a good story, I would say out of the Jurassic Park series this one is the most dramatic. The ending blew me away, but it's cool to think where the ending will take us. A third movie is being planned as I speak, The adventure is not over. A wonderful film and story for Jurassic Park lovers out there.

One man's Revenge, One man's Justice
7 June 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I have always seen this movie advertised while watching other movies, and I have always been curious about it. So I ordered it online and watched it on memorial day. And I have to say that it was pretty good.

One man's justice is about a man who seeks revenge for the murders of his wife and little girl, but this is not your ordinary hero, he is an army colonel who has fighting moves that seem more real then your average karate moves. The fighting in this movie seemed more real to me then other fighting movies, I felt it was actual hand to hand combat. The story is good, a man takes matters into his own hands and dishes out some but kicking action, along the way he discovers that a shady Cop is behind all of his troubles.

I enjoyed watching this movie, but I'm surprised at how people give this low ratings.it was made back in the 90's and what they made was pretty good the actors in it do a great job and Brian Bosworth hit's it off as the main hero. I have never heard of Brian Bosworth before and this is the first movie I have seen him in, and he did an excellent job. The villain was pretty good Bruce Payne does great job as a dark cop. This movie gets you excited with all the action, but the reason I give it a 9 is because I felt it should have had more action, more fighting. Because it was awesome.

You also feel for the man as he loses his family, and you cheer him on as he kicks butt and brings justice. One Man's Justice is a great movie, watch it and if your an action buff like I am you will like it.

9/10 for One Man's Justice

Rampage 2: Universal Tour (1999 Video Game)
10/10
Bigger and Better Destruction then the first one
7 June 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Rampage 2: Universal Tour is the sequel to the awesome game Rampage: World Tour. This time a new generation of monsters come and wreck havoc and rescue George, Lizzie, and Ralph who have been captured by the world to see.

This game is really fun, it is a game for the classic console Nintendo 64. I have really enjoyed playing this game, it is fun and creative and this time seven monsters are available to play with. This game not only brings back classic rampage fun but more cities to destroy, more people to eat, and classic music that is very catchy. Plus the game is longer then World Tour as your main goal is to conquer the entire universe.

The seven monsters you can plays as. Boris: A Rhino monster Curtis: A Mouse monster Ruby: A Lobster monster George: A Gorilla monster Lizzie: A Lizard monster Ralph: A Wolf monster Myukus: A Alien monster

The games graphics are classic as ever and the plot of the game is not bad either it is actually pretty fun to rescue the three original monsters before you progress further in the game. The four new monsters added to the game bring their own uniqueness to the game play and each monster has their own special moves to bring into action. Rampage 2: Universal Tour is a unique and fun game and if you have a Nintendo 64 give it a try it is very addictive and fun.

10/10 for Rampage 2: Universal Tour

The Unlikely duo of best friends join up once again, this time in Great Britain!
29 May 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Shanghai Knights brings back the fun duo of Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson and this time they travel to London to seek vengeance on the murder of Chon's father and to rescue Chon's sister Chon Lin.

The two friends find themselves in great Britain, and it's a whole different world then the old west, things are more proper but also more fun. The duo make new adventures with a British twist and Roy falls for Chon's sister who actually has a thing for him too. Eventually the two foil a plan made by an evil British higher up and save the united kingdom and the Royal family.

This second installment was good and I enjoyed the story I also enjoyed how Chon's younger sister was in it along with her own Ninja moves. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the fact that it didn't have a lot of fighting action in this one then the first, I'm not saying it was bad, but it didn't have that much Chan action therefore I give it a 9. But it makes for a great sequel, and if they do make a third one, I hope it will be good too.

9/10 for Shanghai Knights
