The Imitation Game (2014)
Very good movie
This movie is well worth watching. It is incredible to think that a man that helped change the course of the war and the world had such a sad life and ending. It's terrible to think how different people were treated back then. The movie doesn't push his sexuality where it was hard to watch, which is usually the case with most these days. It was treated with respect. It is a very intense and strong movie.
My only complaint is that you have a hard time discerning what time frame scenes are in. It took me a while. One time, it shows the war going on, and then it says 1951. Then it shows him working again on the machine. At first I thought it was a mistake. Then it continues to go back and forth without telling us. It gets confusing to say the least. After about the third jump, you finally realize they are showing you what's happening during the war and then later life. It would have been much better if they told you this instead of leaving it for you to figure out.
Non the less, it was a very good movie and I would recommend it.
Night Court (2023)
Canned laughter
The canned laughter is so loud and annoying I couldn't watch it. Half the time, I couldn't even tell you what was said before the loud fake laughter overtook it.
SERIOUSLY??? Do you even need something to tell us it's funny. Why do producers think this makes a show funny in the first place? I couldn't watch five minutes of it that the laughter ruined it. It even laughed at every remark whether it was funny or not. Let the comedians do what they do best. Canned laughter is something from the 50s or 60s, really old school. If the show is funny, you won't have to tell us, it will show. So far for this new show, it hasn't.
Bad start people. Give the show a chance...
FBI (2018)
Normal run of the mill cop show
Too many coincidences in this show to make it even feel real. Too many times you see things in the background you know will definitely be used in an action segment coming up. If you've seen one, you've seen them all. The really bad part about this show is that the music is SO LOUD that you can't hear the actors, and it's the same music over and over. The loud music carries over to FBI:International. It really takes away from the actors and the mediocre plot. The acting is so so and might be better if they didn't try to build the suspense with the music.
Not worth spending the time watching it.
Heat (1995)
Standard Pacino/Deniro movie
This movie has a pretty much standard roles for Pacino and Deniro. The normal good guy/ bad guy roles. 5 minutes into the movie you get tired of Pacino's ego and screaming. Deniro plays the ultimate tough guy like he does in all his movies. This movie is just like all the rest of movies either of these two have done for decades. Seen one, seen them all.
The shoot out doesn't sit on the edge of ridiculous, it goes way over the top. Both have done better movies, but it's really been a long time. If you like Pacino yelling and everyone and Deniro kicking everybody around with lots of shootings, you will like this one. Otherwise, it's a long drawn out movie and a waste of time.
After the Sunset (2004)
Worst ending
Watched this entire movie, what a waste of time. It has the worst ending of any movie I have ever seen. Also too many loose ends that are never explained ( who took the photos on the boat.)
Don't waste your time. It's not a very good movie overall.
Out of Time (2021)
Too Many Coincidences in City of L.A.
I think there must be only ten people living in L. A. every time the characters went around a corner, they just happened to run into exactly who they were looking for. I thought L. A. was bigger than that. Watching the movie, you expect and get used to it, just not realistic. Also, how do some people die after the aliens move on to a different body but two people didn't? Too many mistakes or coincidences to even come close to believable. I would waste time watching this. The best part of the whole movie is the end where the two main characters drive away.
Mr. Terrific (1967)
I loved this show
Although corny and geared toward us kids, I lovd the show. I remember it fondly. They need to bring things like this back again. We need action! ACTION !!!
The Magic of Belle Isle (2012)
Beautiful story, Well worth seeing
A heart felt performance by Mr Freeman. He puts his heart into his movies and it shows. This movie is no exception. The connection he made with Miss Madsen is a joy to watch. Her girls help round the movie out and smooth over the rough edges. This is a great movie for families to share. It is a romantic comedy that is a breath of fresh air without all the cursing and nudity. One man can make a difference and a family can make a difference in a lot of lives. It is a sad movie at times, but the caring for each other makes all the difference. Just sharing of each other can change the world. These are the movies you wish everyone could watch. It would do civilization some good.
