No Man's Land (2020)
There is a better movie out there
If you want to see a much better redemption movie set on the border watch "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada". Tommy Lee Jones is brilliant.
A Story Worth Living (2016)
Not really a motorcycle adventure movie.
First off, they all smoke cigars. Quit smoking, it's disgusting and no one in the mountains wants to smell your cigars! There is not a lot of motorcycle riding and what there is, is incoherent. They never show a map or reveal a plan of the trip. Also this Colorado, it's not like London to Beijing, they make it out to be an earth shaking trip. They do show some nice scenery, but there is not much of that. Even their proselytizing was obtuse and didn't make a lot sense. If you are from Colorado, you will watch with this movie but with your finger on the Fast Forward button.
Jupiter's Legacy (2021)
Not sure what to think
So, I started watching and it was kind of ok. I thought I would check out a little Reddit while I was waiting for something to happen. There was a big fight and some kid killed the bad guy and the guy in white got all self righteous about killing the bad guy. I was reading a thread on Reddit about people who quit on their first day of work. Now that was pretty interesting. It is pretty amazing what prompts people to quit on their first day at work. Anyway, there was some old timey stuff about the guy who made steel. And some stuff about the guy in white who just wouldn't stop complaining about killing people. He just drones on and on. I think maybe he is all upset cause he looks like Thor but doesn't have a hammer. I do like the wild blond hair even if it is a bit stringy. I just realized that the 2nd episode has ended and I am still on Reddit. I am really hoping that episode 3 explains some stuff in a way that is more interesting than Reddit. To be fair, I may have some kind of ADD and maybe my attention wanders a bit unless something really engages me.
The Blacklist: The Russian Knot (2021)
Just horrible
Ripping off the "Thomas Crown Affair" was just the absolute worst of lazy writing for a character that nobody cares about anymore. Keen is just a completely unlikable character that seems to be oblivious to the bad choices she makes. The only bright spot is that Red is still intact and still works with humor and grace.
The Laundry Guy (2021)
You have got to be kidding me.
15 minutes in. This wouldn't even be good Youtube video. I don't see much of a future for whoever greenlighted this. And now for another turgid episode of "The Laundry Guy"
The 2nd (2020)
Just Horrible
Here's what I think happened. At the end of the Lincoln Lawyer when Eddie (Trace Adkins) beats Louis Roulet (Ryan Phillipe) it is real. They actually beat Ryan Phillipe and now he has brain damage in real life. He was then convinced to star in this absolute disaster of a movie. Every bad cliché and every stupid trope is in this movie.
Rook (2020)
Pretty mediocre indie film
If you look all the good reviews are from people that have only ever done 1 review. They are obviously fake.
The characters in this film are fairly cliched and over the top. The main character acts so incredibly dumb as to be really cringeworthy. The love interests are quite melodramatic and corny. The ending is very unsatisfying.
Now for the good part. It was filmed entirely in and around Cripple Creek, Colorado. I live close and my brother has worked there for many years. The way it was filmed gave a really good look at Cripple Creek and Victor. There were a lot of shots of old mining stuff and parts of the town that are kind of cool. If you have any interest at all in Cripple Creek and Victor, I recommend you watch this movie.
Expedition Unknown (2015)
idiotic drivel
I just watched an episode in Argentina. He was looking for proof that Hitler lived there. Complete overblown melodramatic garbage. Obviously completely fake.
The Mandalorian: Chapter 9: The Marshal (2020)
Excellent
I got that baby Yoda
I'm walkin' out the door
Don't you try to stop me
Cause I'm the Mandalor........ ian
Hard Kill (2020)
Total formula with bad dialogue
I will say this, they managed to leave no cliché unturned. Who made Bruce Willes wear that giant gay scarf?
Fargo: East/West (2020)
The worst episode of an abysmal season
Black and white, really? Booooring. Every single character trying so desperately to be quirky, but never really pulling it off. Is anything interesting ever going to happen?
Hanna (2019)
Great up until the 4th episode.
I was really enjoying this show. It came to grinding halt at the 4th episode. It just cratered. I have no idea if it picks up again later. I won't be continuing on.
El Camino (2019)
Please someone just kill Pinkman
Got halfway through, I hate Pinkman more than Skyler. Please, just kill Jesse.
