The Humanity Bureau (2017)

I wanted and tried to like it but still it was Awful

[1/10 · 20 December 2020]

I really wanted to like this. I kept ignoring the many global warming warnings like "You can only throw so much crap in the sky before Morher Nature fights back" And "Why do they lie to us mom?" "because it's easier to build fear than a wall". The ridiculous plot was only made worse by the inane script, editing and directing! I truly don't understand how they got Cage and the hand full of prominent actors to say yes to this script! I fear what else is coming if that's the best they had to choose from. I do have to say I think the acting was good but they could only do what they could. No matter how talented one is, they can Not make lemonade out of dog poo. This is the best I can offer without spoilers. I really hate those!

The Seagull (I) (2018)

I think three stars is generous

[3/10 · 15 January 2019]

I wanted to watch this movie and I sat their with excitement wanting it to be worth it. The cast was amazing, all incredibly talented which is why it was sad to watch all of that talent waste into nothing. I must admit I have not read the original work so I will not critique the story, but this adaptation of it was boring, listless and never went anywhere. I felt like I got on a train, road through beautiful country, but ended up exiting at the exact spot from where I had entered. Not much happened though I was constantly on the edge of my seat anticipating something. This was very much a wasted hour and a half.

The Host (2013)

I thoroughly enjoyed this Movie

[10/10 · 12 July 2013]

I watched the Host yesterday and again tonight. I really enjoyed it and that surprised me. When I tried to read the book, I didn't get into it. My daughter did and suggested we try the movie. Well I now want to give the book another chance. If it turns out to be half as good as this movie then I'll love it.

I don't want to give anything away, and I don't know how well it syncs with the book although the 1/4 of it or so that I read seemed to be well presented. I think Saoirse was phenomenal as Melanie/Wanderer. I also LOVED both Max Irons and Jake Abel and of course William Hurt was outstanding.

Not much I can say without giving things away and I hate when reviewers do that so just let me say, I enjoyed it very much and I highly recommend you give it a try. I promise, it is NO Twilight.

Magic Mike (2012)

Magic Mike

[4/10 · 6 February 2013]

FIrst of all I'll Say SPOILER ALERT just in case, but in all honesty, there is no way I could give you a spoiler alert because there simply was NO story to spoil! Big surprise gorgeous men strip - end of story. I usually really like Channing Tatum and of course I adore Joe Manganiello!! BUT there was nothing to this movie other than some guys stripping. The only one who I felt did a so so job acting was Channing. Joe was HOT, but he had no storyline, Alex looked awful, Matthew was way to over the top and I felt the dialog between Mike and Paige was forced. IF you want to see this movie, watch it with no sound. At least then you can try to fill in something good. I can only assume the reason this movie got any good reviews at all is because women enjoy watching the above mentioned hotties take off their clothes. And I get that, really I do, but it just wasn't enough. Magic Mike (Channing) does have some incredible moves. He is an amazing dancer, but there was NO storyline. Half the time I wasn't sure who was hooking up with who, nor was I really sure Mike was interested in Paige until much later in the movie.

Red Riding Hood (2011)

In general a good movie

[9/10 · 21 March 2011]

I am probably being generous giving this a 9, but truthfully all of the 1's and 2's annoyed me. This movie was not as scary as it was portrayed, but it was entertaining. The ONLY bad review I would agree with was the one that complained about the ending. I felt as if they ran out of steam at the end. But it was a fun film. It kept me guessing all the way, and truthfully, I never guessed correctly. I do feel like it lacked a certain oomph. Somehow I was expecting the wolf would be someone more exciting. BUT the storyline all makes sense, and in the end you do see how it all fits together. It was a fun twist on an old story. Perhaps it should have been marketed for a less gruesome seeking audience. This is not a spooky movie, unless you are 10.
