The Big Lebowski (1998)
Absolutely Stupid Movie
This movie is dumb, horrible, stupid, silly, except for a "few" good laughs. Anyone rates above a 3 pathetic. Poor story, poor acting, poor script, poor rhetoric. Over done with the foul language. Can not believe watched the entire movie. Only thing going, prominent cast. A few strange characters in a strange story about a bogus kidnipping or bowling match? The theme goes back and forth to nowhere. Not sure there was a script or entire movie done ablib or impromptu. Hard to distinguish the good guys vs bad guys. Best recommendation, watch another Jeff Bridges movie. Best acting by the pomeranian.
Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend (2022)
All Success Comes With A Drive.
As with any of the famous and successful entrepreneurs, success comes with drive and sacrifice. No different with Lamborghini. He made many personal sacrifices. Intense movie with good history. Great memorable hrase "Buy a Ferrari if you want to be someone, buy a Lamborghini if you are someone". Obviously. Porsche was not making road vehicles yet. If you like automobile history, worth watching, you will like it otherwise, not for you. Competition vs Ferrari was interesting and clever. The acting was decent, the scenery good. Good movie for men and women, regardless of there love of any type of cars.
80 for Brady (2023)
Cute and silly
The movie was cute, yet extremely silly. Most of the movie deviated from the actual story. Moreno looks great and mobile for 93, she still can dance. If interested in lite humor, worth watching. If you are watching to see an authentic story. Forget it, the original women though long ti,e friends and Patriot fans, never made it to the Super Bowl or meet Tom Brady. The movie does keep your attention as the chemistry between the lead female characters was great. There were moments of hilarious humor and laughter. A light hearten movie to pass the time away. .As mentioned in the title cute and silly.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)
Corny
Not like the original movies that had you at the edge of your seat with a plot. Very corny. Story very poor with no plot, yet animation good for action.
Behind the Candelabra (2013)
A little disappointing
Michael Douglas and excellent. The movie moved a little slow. They dragged on the four years.
Mudhoney (1965)
Interesting Movie
Movie has good twist on the depression era. Has to be one of the better stories for a Russ Meyer movie.
Una mujer fantástica (2017)
One Sad Movie
A poor sick B-movie, more foreign without any taste.
A Star Is Born (2018)
Shallow vs earlier versions
Not as well script as the earlier version. Probably the Just Garland was the best, then the Janet Gaynor version. Very shallow in story too much sensationalism.
Murder on the Orient Express (2017)
Holds you to your seat
The performance by Kenneth Branagh was good, as well as Michelle Pfiffer. The movie followed well and held you in tight. Not sure how I would compare to the original 1974 version, other than effects were better with current technology.
The Longest Day (1962)
Still The Best
This movie has survived the test of time as still the best WWII movie. For a 3hr movie holds you all the way.
Jesus Christ Superstar (1973)
Enjoyed
As an Evangelical Christian, thoroughly enjoyed the movie.
The Bleeder (2016)
Sad Movie
Other than the performance by Schrieber the movie was slow and boring. The guy was a sorry character.
For Greater Glory: The True Story of Cristiada (2012)
Great Story. Worth seeing
An under the radar film about a true subject I knew very little about that absolutely floored me. It's a high quality film with flat out superb performances that makes you contemplate and appreciate faith and freedom like few films have ever managed to convey.
What price would you pay for freedom? In the exhilarating action epic FOR GREATER GLORY, an impassioned group of men and women make the decision to risk it all for family, faith and country. This film unfolds the (hidden) true story of 1920's Cristeros War and shows the efforts of not only solders, but women and children behind the scenes.
This moving is a touching story of Christians standing for what they believe within an anti-Christian movement in Mexico. The movie depicts the stance given by the concerned for religious freedom in a corrupt Mexican government.
Worth watching if you want to understand how horrible it can be without a Christian Moral position within a country. How innocent children are effected. Make you think it can happen in the USA. Scary.
Garcia and Cabrera gives a warm and caring performance as do the children, played by Kuri and Alonso.
It's the tale of the Cristeros War (1926-1929); a war by the people of Mexico against the Mexican government who cracked down in brutal ways against the Catholic Church and against religious freedom in general. Andy Garcia is Oscar level good here as General Gorostieta, a man with limited faith who responds and masterfully leads the fight for freedom. It's intense and, at times, surprisingly violent and impact full. This movie delivers real emotion and doesn't dodge tough questions about faith. It delivers an exceptional balance of showing why people behave and choose to engage in certain behaviors even when such behavior is contrary to the core of their belief system.
One thing is certain; no one who has faith will take it or their religious freedom for granted after watching and EXPERIENCING this film.
The movie was partially financed by the Knights of Columbus, whose members in both the United States and Mexico were an integral part of the actual Cristeros Rebellion.
Jersey Boys (2014)
Awesome
The movie gave a more personal perspective compare to the play. Did not have the high energy. The acting was great and the story even better. The second half of the movie kept you on the edge of your seat. Christopher Walkin played a superb, cool headed role. Consideration for an academy role for supporting actor. As in most of the super groups, you have one pompous bone head. In this case it was Tommy Divito. Valli and Gaudio showed class and loyalty. Bob Gaudio was a very talented artist with the group and his other assignments. If you had seen the play, need to see the movie to get the indept story behind the ups and downs of the group.
Man of Steel (2013)
Ridiculously stupid movie
This movie version defies the story. So honky. They could have easily modified and made a Twilight Zone movie. If you watch it, you will never watch it again. And they are considering a sequel - Man of Steel 2 !!! Amy Adams and Diane Lane plays great parts, Adams as Lois Lane the very investigative reporter. Lawrence Fishburne as Perry White is stiff and shows no personality. The movie was made for the action. Definitely not for the story. Clark Kent does not keep his superman powers hidden. He tells everyone he has special powers, especially to Lois Lane. Not much of a story. Action filled but empty story. How bad could the sequel be. I guess by the reviews some have enjoyed the movie or the hype. Save your money and go see a real movie.
