The Last Blockbuster (2020)
Good Riddance
While it has been over twenty years since the last time I was in a Blockbuster store, I still remember them vividly and I still hate them. Blockbuster was the worst! The late fees, the long lines, the poor choices of films that were available to rent, the general smell of the stores, and overall the employees were rude and annoying AF. I don't miss Blockbuster one little bit.
Ashley (2013)
Incredibly sad
I can't understand the motivation behind some of the negative reviews I see here. Yes, the film is as entertaining as day-old coffee, but that is the point! Ashley is a 17-year old girl, without real friends and her mother is angry & broken-hearted herself, and nobody understands her pain or why she is so withdrawn. If you can't understand that, then your adolescence must have been pretty peachy indeed. Most of us losers felt lost and alone and didn't have the verbal skills to even explain why we felt so hopeless. I'm not going to ruin the movie by spoiling the ending except to say that she has strength in there somewhere and it finally appears. This film was haunting and I highly recommend it.
Love (2016)
Are the producers of this show also investors in UBER?
I have seen every episode of this show, and I like it just fine. Sometimes it has clever dialogue and I have a crush on Mickey anyway, so that being said....why is there an UBER reference in EVERY show? I get the concept of Uber, but they are working this company into the show the same way that Spielberg worked Reese's Pieces into ET.
Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009)
Very cute, dumb, feel-good movie
While this is certainly not cutting edge humor or a great film by any stretch, I still enjoyed it very much and it was perfectly appropriate for my children to watch with me. What I liked is that it showed that good guys can win in the end, even if they are fat & stupid, and even get the girl (even though they probably have no idea what to do with her once they catch her, but that's another movie).
Definitely not an award winning film, but it was fun to watch.
Inside Look: The People v. O.J. Simpson - American Crime Story (2016)
This show is a whitewash of Robert Kardashian
While this show had moments of excellence, the portrayal of attorney Robert Kardashian was a complete whitewash. The crucial moment when K removed Simpson's bag from the Rockingham estate was completely wrong and K was portrayed as a deeply religious, ethical family man when in reality he was an accessory to two murders.
Oklahoma City (2017)
Official government version
I did live through Oklahoma City and remember it well, and I remember Ruby Ridge and Waco also. Ruby Ridge and Waco had nothing to do with Oklahoma City, and neither did the militia movement or white supremacist organizations. This documentary is little more than the official government story, a story orchestrated at the highest levels of the Justice Department and the White House, placing all of the blame upon a disillusioned ex-soldier and his loser Army buddies and ignoring the obvious presence of more sophisticated conspirators. The film barely mentions the existence of "John Doe #2" who actually DID mastermind the bombing. There was a nationwide manhunt for this person during the week after the bombing until the FBI decided that they had their man and no further suspects were being sought. We are supposed to believe that McVeigh was smart enough to plan this elaborate scheme and yet stupid enough to drive a getaway car without a license plate attached? The film completely ignores the pre-bombing trips to the Philippines that were taken by Terry Nichols and clear evidence that he was meeting there with Ramzi Yousef (the mastermind of the World Trade Center bombing in 1993). Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying McVeigh was innocent. He was in this conspiracy up to his eyeballs and he deserved to be convicted, but there were other conspirators higher up the food chain that got away, for purely political reasons. That is the real story of Oklahoma City.
