20 Minutes (2023)
A masterpiece: an emotional and visual thrill ride
I thought the performances of everyone were magnificent: I cared about the characters and their lives on and beyond the missile approaching. Taking the time to introduce everyone and weave their stories together was masterful, even beyond the main characters.
I loved how the most important thing: Jesus Christ is all that matters in the end. This is a hard-core Christian film, but it will appeal to all. Why? Because it answers the question of what if you had 20 minutes to live?
Visually pleasing in every way, dramatic, musically astounding, great acting and above all a fantastic story make this an undeniably iconic, enduring film.
This film is one for the ages.
CSI: Miami (2002)
If, as is customary on TV
Mr.Caruso's character in this show appeared to function mostly as a bureaucratic overseer of the other C.S.I.investigators (do they need a ramrod to make them work?), rather than doing any scientific tests himself, as the Gil Grissom character does in the original C.S.I.. As Horatio Caine has been presented as a policeman and not a scientist, I don't see how they will correct this problem easily. The lab work in the original C.S.I. is always central to the show--in C.S.I.:Miami it's perfunctory, at best. The sense of driving curiosity that powers the original C.S.I. plots and keeps their investigators using scientific methods to nibble at the presented puzzle also seems to be missing. This reviewer isn't opposed to "touchy-feely-I'm-just-going-with-my-intuition" type shows, but those type of police shows abound. That isn't what C.S.I.is about.
If, as is customary on TV, the premier episode of this show is the best and strongest one they have to offer, this reviewer is depressed at its limpness. The qualities that functioned well as a single episode of the original C.S.I. have been stretched too thin here to succeed. Most of this can be corrected. The writing needs to be tighter and much more focused. While the cases presented don't have to be as odd as finding scuba divers in trees, more imagination should be shown. Note to the show writers: View past episodes of the original C.S.I.. Get back to your original idea of the show's nature.
The Big Lebowski (1998)
Awesome Cult Movie!
"Big Lewbowski" is one of the very few comedies that still cracks me up every single time I watch it.
For what some might dub as a "stoner comedy," there's quite a lot going on this movie, and it's damn near impossible to catch everything on the first viewing. I wont get into the plot details, since I think it's best to watch it for the first time without knowing anything about it. Then watch it again a couple weeks later. I'll bet you laugh more the second time you see it. Office Space was the only other comedy that had this affect on me. Oh and one other thing. DO NOT WATCH THE EDITED VERSION ON TV! This movie is rated R for a reason, and if you watch the edited version you are missing half the movie.
