The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023)
A forgotten chapter of the novel
Very well done! Some are trying to compare Corey's character to Van Helsing. He is not! This is a chapter from the original Dracula novel. Everyone's character was very well acted. This is how Dracula makes it to England & from there, he releases his terror upon the world. Dracula has been diluted throughout the years that unless you've read the original novel, you may not even know about the voyage of The Demeter. So before you leave a negative, boring review bashing exceptional actors & actresses, buy an original Dracula novel! Read it from front to back, then form your own opinions. This movie was a breath of fresh air, finally going into detail of the voyage of the ship that brought Dracula's evil upon England. Exceptionally well done!
A Good Person (2023)
Wow!!! Truly Impeccable!!!
To be ready to watch this movie bring a box of tissue or get a roll of paper towels because your going to need them & I'm a 55 year old retired male Police Officer. Florence Pugh, Morgan Freeman, Molly Shannon, & every single cast member were perfect in their roles. Zach Braff, truly a remarkable film. Why there were no Academy nominations is truly a disappointment because every single one should at least have been a nomination. Instead we have people who want a nomination for a maker of a weapon that never should have been made! Florence Pugh & Morgan Freeman are truly Oscar award winning performances. I won't spoil it for anyone by listing spoilers but I will say that this movie should be part of a recovery program that is in the curriculum of every addiction program. Do yourself a favor and watch this movie, you will not regret it!
I Am Groot (2022)
Awesome minis
Really superb minis, I absolutely love them. They are so hilarious & really a pleasure to watch. They aren't long at all which is perfect. It gives a person who's really on the go all day long to stop for a few minutes and enjoy something that to me is absolutely adorable and hilarious. Out of all the Guardians of the galaxy, Groot is my dude. He reminds me of a miniature Fonz from Happy Days, totally cool, calm, and collective. I really hope Disney continues this series, I'm quite sure that I'm not the only Gen-X'er that really enjoys this little series. Sometimes it's really nice to escape the reality of today & just watch something such as Groot. Much applause to Disney for doing such a superb job.
Radio (2003)
Absolutely Impeccable
I am 55 years old and still tear up when I watch this movie, at many different areas of the movie. There's an old saying that when a young man loses his mother, a piece of him dies and it never returns, I am here to tell you it's true. I lost mine on February 15, 2001 & it liked to have drove me into a madness that I couldn't have returned. When Radio loses his mother & the Coach was notified & he showed up to Radio's house, that scene took me back, Radio's mentality, the scene of the house, the atmosphere of the incident in general. Why Ed Harris & Cuba Gooding Jr did not get at least Oscar nominations is a mystery to me. No movie ever has made me tear up so much than Radio. It is an absolutely wonderful movie that deserves to be "A movie of the ages". One of the best.
Law & Order: Rubber Room (2010)
SAM WATERSTON IS THE BEST D.A.
A small review, Sam Waterston explodes on the Teacher's Union Rep & it is marvelous, some if the best acting I've seen from Sam Waterston is in this one small skit from this Law and Order episode. I've always thought that Sam was the best choice for the District Attorney and he proves my point/choice. This episode is one of the best because it touches on a school shooting & I am from where the very first much publicized school shooting happened, Pearl, Mississippi. I was working at Brandon Police Department at the time & we were dispatched to Pearl Police Department to assist and catch calls for them while they were tied up at Pearl High School. This is one of my favorite episodes of Law & Order. 10 stars for this episode!
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)
DO NOT LISTEN TO THE BAD REVIEWS
One of the best MARVEL movies I've seen, growing up, I read Black Panther where other kids like me did not, they said it wasn't good enough so that made me dig right into it. I am so relieved that Shuri became the Black Panther. This movie will give you tears of joy, sorrow & all the emotions in between, when the hovercraft came above the White Gorilla's throne, Shuri does the flip in the air then lands on her feet & unmask, chills went up my spine and tears came into my eyes from excitement. I told my brother that they should make her the Panther before the movie was finished, then the fight between her & Namor was a spectacular ending with what she did after she saw her mother, and in final, something I did not expect but fits the storyline perfectly, when she burns her cloth on the beach then joined by T'Challa's girl & an unidentified( not saying because I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't seen it) person. This movie deserves 10 stars!
Long Shot (2019)
DO NOT LISTEN TO THE NAYSAYERS
I didn't think that it was going to be that good but 30-45 minutes into it, I couldn't stop watching it. I laughed so hard that I started wiping the tears. Then there was the moment where it turned very sad so it tugged on the heart just a little but the further it went on the comedy started showing itself again. I had never seen Charlize Theron in a comical role but she did absolutely wonderful like the pro she is. I absolutely loved every moment of the movie so much that I actually went back and watched it 2 times back to back, that's how much I enjoyed it. The match of CT & SR was a perfect choice & I wouldn't have changed a thing. WATCH IT!!!!!!!!!
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
Jesse Luthor?
I'm sorry but as a fan from 4 years old, seeing and reading Superman all of these years, I was highly disappointed in Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal of Lex Luthor. That is in no way the way LL acts, I have to rate his version of Lex Luthor the worst I've ever seen. Jesse if you read this please do some research and watch other versions of LL, read about him then form a version of him and act that character out and you will get high praises. I've watched Jesse in other movies and he can act, he has that sinister side in his acting abilities. Other than that I was extremely happy with the movie and actors, everyone did an exceptional job.
Megan Leavey (2017)
True Bonding, True Love & the proper retirement of a hero.
WARNING: WATCH WITH BOX OF TISSUES & DO NOT LISTEN TO THE BAD REVIEWS ABOUT THIS MOVIE, IT IS SUPERB!
This movie brought so many tears, happiness and joy & tears of sadness at times, it depicts the exact things that happen at first, middle & ending, all the ups & downs, the happiness and sadness & in final the proper way a warrior should have at the end, even though it took some fighting to get the way it should be. Superb acting on everyone's part, especially the dogs. If you want to know the bonding stage a person and dog go through I highly suggest watching this movie, it touched me so many ways and reminded me so much of my Siberian Husky Chauncey & my German Shepherd who's name just happened to be Rex as well.(That's probably why I shredded so many tears)
Joker (2019)
Worst I've ever seen
This has got to be the absolute worst Joker movie ever made, nothing is true to the origins of Arther Fleck & The Red Hood/The Joker. For those of you praising this movie I suggest you go back to the origins, comics, old tv series, animated movies or whatever it takes, watch and learn, but this is absolutely nothing true to The Joker.
Ghostbusters (2016)
10 Stars/Kristen Wiig does it again
Kristen Wiig among an ALL STAR comedic cast nails it. Just absolutely an Interstellar job. Kristen is brilliant & hilarious, as well as the Ghostbusters team. Kristen Wiig is stunningly gorgeous as she always is, she is the most beautiful woman in the world and the most talented that Hollywood has seen in a long time.
The Man Who Fell to Earth (2022)
FINALLY!!!!!!!!
Finally a sci-fi worth watching, hilarious at alot of scenes and sad in some, this is what I get just from the 1st episode, the alien-Chiwetal Ejiofor is sent to Earth to help his species on his planet, gets aid from at one time in her life a promising young brilliant scientist-Naomie Harris, and in starting to understand the help she is giving, she is also helping humans to keep from becoming extinct. Bill Nighy's character from what I piece together so far is someone who knows Chiwetal Ejiofor's alien, possibly from the Alien's world, I'm not quite sure on that character but it seems that Nighy's character is a slightly evil character who wants something back. It is a fresh and new series finally worth watching. Very excited to see where it goes.
Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
NOT THE BEST MARVEL MOVIE EVER
While it was a great movie it was not the best Marvel movie of all time as advertised, in my opinion. Great action and effects, not so great of a storyline. Just when you've gotten your head wrapped around the changes of Spiderman from the original comics and other spiderman movies here comes a dramatic change in the end. And like I said this is only my opinion, some may believe it is the greatest marvel movie ever I just don't believe it is.
The Best Man Holiday (2013)
A Sleeper well worth watching
I cried like a baby. Extremely good movie that touches on the reality of family, friends, ex's, and current loved ones just trying to get through Christmas and deal with a death in the family at the same time. Very heart touching.
This Is Where I Leave You (2014)
True family
This is as real as it can be, especially when you have a family as big, 4 kids come back to Mom's due to the dad's funeral. This movie brought back so many memories, my mother died 21 years ago and all 4 of us came back home and stayed with our dad to make sure he would be ok & the things that go on in this movie are as realistic as can be. Both happy and sad throughout the movie.
The Suicide Squad (2021)
Suicide squad committed suicide
WORST MOVIE EVER, THE ACTORS I LIKED EXCEPT THE GUY WHO DIED TRYING TO BETRAY THEM,PETE SOMETHING BUT JUST NOT MY TASTE OF MOVIE.
