Jurassic World Dominion (2022)
Don't Waste Your Money.
Wait on the DVD release unless you prefer to sit in a smelly auditorium and catch Covid the easy way. I found it very hard to grasp the dinosaur thing until I watched the first three movies in the Jurrasic franchise. The characters, the storyline and the critters were all believable. But what this series has evolved into is stupid. Laura Dern's character is now a middle aged, overly made up stern acting woman with a control issue. To be clear, she like everyone else in the original movies is entitled to age. She just didn't age well. Plus she seems to be real pushy. That's Hollywood I guess. Sam Neil and Jeff Goldbloom do fine but, along with Laura their characters get sent to the sidelines for some reason. You might say, "There are new characters now, it's their turn." But this movie was the final Jurrasic Park. There will be no others. I just expected more. BD Wong has shoulder length hair. What's that about? I guess it's OK but it just came as a surprise. One last thing. The writers have gone out of their way to make dinosaurs emerge with complex cognitive abilities and problem solving brains. Gimme a break! Dinosaurs, even man made, hybred ones aren't that smart. They're lizards. They don't hold grudges or settle scores from years past. They're not loyal to trainers, mentors or cage keepers. They dont have the ability to trick somone or fake them out. And they probably don't do well in snow. Just saying. Anyway, that's my two cents. The fat cats tried to sneak some woke in there and ostensibly suceeded. I just think someone could have a much better job at ushering this wonderful franchise into the history books for this life.
Prairie Dog (2015)
Unremarkble at Best
This was for the most part a first time actor's movie. On low budget stuff like this, one never gets a clear shot of the monster and the acting is obviously scripted and sounds almost mechanical. What did bothered a little was Tanya, the little girl. First she was arguably one of the cutest children I have ever seen. That said, her lines were those of young adult and not a little kid. I tried to look beyond what she said and ignore the inflated maturity of her choice of words and large vocabulary. But alas, it didn't work. Little kids who talk like grown ups make me nervous.
Durante la tormenta (2018)
Worth the Time
This movie was a little slow starting, but once engaged, I became riveted to the screen. Great story and the orchestral accompaniment was particularly moving. It was a privilege to watch. Stay with it.
Hunter Hunter (2020)
Are You Kidding Me?
A sick twisted waste of an hour and a half. What kind of psycho mind writes a story like this?
What Lies Below (2020)
Some Things Never Change
I waited patiently to justify paying 7 bucks to see this and that moment never arrived. The movie keeps you on the edge waiting for something to happen and it didn't fail to disappoint. For this genre, it sucks. Period. Plus liberal Hollywood can't resist taking a shot at the President and it was a lie.
