Other Space (2015)
imagine what they could do with a real budget
it's very fun an, reminds me of 'the office' meets 'star trek.' love what they do with the computer girl. I can imagine what they could do with a good budget. the premise is great, has a MST 3000 feel about it. ---------- and I have to put in more lines in order for the review to take hold, which is sad because I'm really a concise guy who always believed that brevity is the soul of wit; which basically means that conciseness of expression is an essential characteristic of astute, perceptive, or witty remarks. it comes from Hamlet Act 2, scene 2 where Polonius says "My liege, and madam, to expostulate What majesty should be, what duty is,What day is day, night night, and time is time,Were nothing but to waste night, day, and time;Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit, And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes,I will be brief. Your noble son is mad. . . ."
Beyond (2014)
I don't get it
the acting wasn't bad at all. the directing wasn't bad either; if there had been a real story it wouldn't have been half-bad.the only way I can fulfill the obligation of the review standards is to make a top 10 list. the top 10 reasons to not watch this movie: 10. making up IS apparently hard to do 9. "is this a flashback man?" 8.why is it the responsibility of the USA to defend the world against asteroids or space aliens? 7. Oranges get a bad rap 6. no real nightlife after the apocalypse. 5. love stinks 4. what ever happened to Scottish pride? 3. "that's not how you steal someone's girl" 2."I don't get it." 1. please have that guy shoot me before the opening scene ends.
Argo (2012)
amazed at the positive ratings
I was a young adult at the time of this event and was excited about a moving being made about it. . . .I don't know what it was, I guess the acting was fine, it was just hard for me to tell because the movie was so boring. no matter how many awards it gets, and how great some aspects of the movie may be, I doubt that it will be a staple in the movie library of very many people. I guess, when it's all said and done, it was a movie made by great people and that's where it ends. sorry for being a naysayer, but I just thought it needed to be said.
I have to say more because ten lines of text are required for a review. I will say that I missed that last 10 minutes or so of the movie, and was asked by my friends if I wanted to finish watching it the next day; I declined bargaining that if they did not make me watch the rest of it I would pay all fees for the movie, and then rent another of their choice at my one expense.n
Robinson Crusoe (1997)
I take no joy in what I"m about to say
I am a big fan of PB, I was calling for him to take on the 007 role the first tie I ever saw him. I take no pride in what I'm about to say.
I don't mind that the movie basically only uses the title and character names from the book; not at all, it's a movie based on the book, but absolutely nothing like the book; and I am fine with that, but here's the thing......
I watched the movie on HULU, I thought to myself, "why would this be on HULU?" as the movie began it wasn't bad at all; it kind of reminded me of "the count of monte cristo." I thought to myself, "why is this on HULU?"
I have never seen a movie that started "OK" and progressively got worse and worse. I don't know if it was the writing, directing, acting, editing, or all of the above; all I know is that I kept saying to myself, "I can't believe that this is getting worse and worse."
I guess that everyone misfires now and then, and I still like PB, but I am embarrassed for him about this movie.
2012 (2009)
Don't know what to say.....
I am normally an easy reviewer but: 2012 is huge waste of time; How can anyone blow such a great plot idea! I'm going to send the studio a bill for my time watching it! Great actors but bad acting, a lame story line, forced attempts at humor with characters presenting a labile enough affect to INSIST on the extinction of the human race! that's right, at times I found myself actually pulling for the disaster win! Special effects are good, but watching your toddler play a Barney the Dinosaur video game will do the same for you. Save the dollar that you're planning on feeding the Red Box. If you're tempted to watch this movie, do yourself a favor; phone that neighbor that you don't like and ask to watch one of their vacation videos instead. I will give everyone involved another chance, but I'll never forget the night I watched this movie.
Apparently I need to submit more lines of text for this review to qualify for posting. So let me say that I'm jacking up my bill to the studio for this additional typing (what more will this movie take from me!). "you didn't have to watch it" you may say. well let me ask you this, "are you married?" the phrase "have to" takes on a totally different meaning when you are.
