A Quiet Place: Day One (2024)
WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT
DAY ONE???? MORE LIKE DAY 1000!!! DAY ONE IMPLIES THE FIRST DAY OF INVASION AND THE AFTERMATH THEREOF. BUT!!! THIS IS THE STORY OF A WOMAN WANTING PIZZA MORE THAN WANTING TO STAY ALIVE. THERE ARE SOME SCARY MOMENTS AND THERE ARE A LOT OF CREATURE SIGHTING BUT!!!! AND THEN THERE IS THE CAT!!! THIS CAT REALLY HAS NINE LIVES AND SEEMS TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THEM!!! BUT, SPOILER HERE, THE CAT SURVIVES!!!! AND WE LEARN THAT THE CREATURES CAN'T SWIM OR THEY ARE AFRAID OF WATER. MAYBE THEY ARE FROM THE SAME PLANET AS THE CREATURES FROM SIGNS!! NOW THAT IS A GOOD SUSPENSEFUL CREATURE MOVIE!! ALSO MOST OF THE CHARACTERS ARE JUST NOT THAT LIKABLE!!!!
Grey's Anatomy (2005)
Can we say selfish, insufferable people
With a very few exceptions every character on this show are the prime example of today's "new age" me first and the heck with every one else. They all lie, cheat, steal to get what THEY want and don't care about anyone else or the patient. AND the most selfish, arrogant and hateful of them all is Yang!! Every single plot line involving her is all about what she wants, whats best for her, darn the rest I want what I want!!! (Now she is throwing herself on the ground screaming mine, mine, mine while banging the floor with her fists) A temper tantrum!! Nobody is that good or indispensable to be put up with. Oh especially murdering her baby without telling or having any regard for her husband!! Forget the soap opera and concentrate on the medicine.
Downton Abbey: A New Era (2022)
Sorta Deja vu
Love Downton Abby. All episodes are finely written and acted. The first movie was just as good. There are always some areas that doesn't resonate but overall they are superb. Then came "A New Era". Still love the characters, they all are still fine actors. The plot line of the "French Villa" is somewhat contrived and to put Lord Grantham through all the agony of his mothers imminent death, losing his "name" and then Cora's illness was just too much. AND to top it all there is the shooting of a movie at Downton Abby, and the obvious "rip off" or similarity to a very popular movie about some singin and dancing while precipitation is falling. But all in all it is still Downton and it is still very good!!
Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
WISH THERE WAS MORE THAN TEN STARS!!!
Top Gun Maverick!!! The absolute best feel good movie EVER!!!!! If not the best ever!! Everything about this movie is perfect. Tom Cruise is at his best. Val Kilmer, battling throat cancer, gives an inspiring performance. The entire cast is great. The acting is spot one, nothing over the top!! As I watched for the first time I was saying to myself , this should happen next. AND IT DID EVERY TIME!!!! This movie is the best thing to come out of Hollywood in a long long time. The story line showcases the bravery and determination of the American serviceman that I hope still exists that has made the USA the greatest and most powerful nation that has ever existed!! Have watched over and over since seeing it in theater and is just as great every time. I CAN NOT STATE HOW AWESOME THIS MOVIE IS!!! In my humble opinion. I so want to fly with Tom Cruise in his own personal P51 Mustang!!!
Heartland: New Horizons (2016)
worst episode yet
The whole series has been about family!!! BUT then this episode came along. I get Lou and Peter being unable to put their family first. Their entire life has been the corporate world and to them that is what is important!! I don't agree but that is the world today. Business first , family second!! That is why the world is going to hell!! Satan has blinded people to the importance of family. But I'm preaching and this is about this episode. Ty talks about "regrets" if he doesn't go, well the bigger regret should be NOT BEING THERE TO WATCH OVER HIS NEW WIFE AND THEIR FIRST BORN BABY!!! TIM FOR ONCE IS TOTALLY CORRECT!!! But I have to realize that this is a liberal Canadian show and liberals say business and the world first and family last!!!
The Andy Griffith Show: A Trip to Mexico (1967)
Two stubborn ladies and Bee
This is one of the new episodes that is just plain irritating!! First Bee wins and Clara and Myrtle make the trip unbearable. Speaking of Myrtle why should Bee even consider taking her. She is only ever in five episodes and her name is Maggie and Ella in the first four!!! Clara has been around since season one. She should have been the one Bee took. Not to mention that an entire episode based on Bee, Clara and "Myrtle" is just plain painful to watch. These final seasons episodes are strained and some are just painful to watch. When Don Knotts and Barney Fife left the chemistry also left. Andy had no one to spar with!!
The Andy Griffith Show: Howard, the Comedian (1967)
Bunch of snooty hypocrites.
This episode started out just fine. The usually boring Howard shows some personality. Then on the TV show he is actually funny!! BUT then the snooty hypocrites rear their ugly heads. He didn't say anything slanderous or mean spirited. BUT the snooty hypocrites think he has insulted them by saying funny things about them. Can't they take a joke!!! BUT then they become famous and everything is ok!!! Oh by the way they all laughed at the jokes on the others by once they were the target, well then the mean attitudes comes out!!! These new episodes seem to start out fine but quickly spirals downhill!! They sure miss Barney Fife!!
The Andy Griffith Show: Aunt Bee's Restaurant (1967)
Annoying Bee
Love The Andy Griffith Show. EXCEPT Aunt Bee is as annoying as nails on a chalk board! She is always a joy killer. Always has a negative response to just about everything. This episode is the most extreme. She has the opportunity to be owner of a popular and prosperous restaurant, and what does she do? Have a nervous breakdown over a fortune cookie!!! Its no wonder almost no one on the show liked the actress!!! Sometimes I wonder why she was even kept around! Andy should have married a long time ago and sent her back to her sister, or cousin or whomever pawned her off on poor Andy and Opie! They deserved better!
Home Sweet Home Alone (2021)
He is a brat.
The worst remake ever!! Harry and Marv deserved it in the original. Here the couple don't deserve the pain and suffering the BRAT puts them through. He is a pain to watch and as likable as a toothache.
Big Jake (1971)
John Wayne at his larger than life best!!
As bad as the actors and acting, save for John Wayne, was in his last film "Rio Lobo", This movie has some fine actors and acting. John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, Richard Boone, even Bruce Cabot in an unusual role. Plus Harry Carey Jr. And as always Hank Worden!!! All he ever wanted was a rocking chair by the fire!!! The story is engaging and who doesn't like a good revenge movie. Will there be anyone who doesn't like this movie? "Not hardly"!!!! John Wayne is most certainly not a harsh and unpleasant kind of man!!!!
Rio Lobo (1970)
John Wayne at his usual larger than life role....BUT
The greatest thing about John Wayne is his consistency! He is always "larger than life" and is always the true professional. Save for the couple of "modern" police stories, Branningan and McQ, John Wayne IS true American cinema!!! Now as far as Rio Lobo goes Wayne is, as always, great! BUT the supporting cast is just awful!!! Save for Jack Elam and maybe Chris Mitchum the rest is like a school production!! Jennifer O'Neil is the prettiest leading lady John Wayne ever had but her acting!!!!! JUST PLAIN AWFUL!!!! The story is entertaining and well thought out and keeps your interest if you can just overlook most of the horrible acting.
Secondhand Lions (2003)
Great storytelling
This movie is a great example of Hollywood magic. The coming of age of an insecure boy with the help of his eccentric uncles. With the underlying story of past heroics and heartache. You will come to love uncle Hub, the tough guy with a heart of gold and the ever stable uncle Garth. Perfectly portrayed by Robert Duval and Michael Caine. Then the annoying relatives!! You want the lion to eat those bratty kids! And to top them all you have the mother! She will never win mother of the year even if she was the only one running. Haley Joel Osment! The pinnacle of his career!! The perfect portrayal of the frightened young boy becoming a young man, even without the entire "speech"! Finally you wonder what was fact and what was fiction and then the perfect ending!!
Sands of Iwo Jima (1949)
John Waynes Best
In The Dukes top three movies along with "The Searchers" and "The Quiet Man". John Wayne was one of Hollywood's finest actors. He made the role one you could identify with. In "Sands of Iwo Jima" Sgt. Striker is a MARINE! He makes men out of boys. The Oscar should have been his. He is a man haunted by his past but it doesn't affect his duty to his men. Some may hate him but in the end they all come to respect him.
