The Acolyte (2024)
Ignore the snooty reviews
The Jedi are well represented in this take on the Star Wars Saga. The opening scene is killer . No pun intended. I've watched up until episode 5 which was flipping amazing ! Classic Jedi light Sabre joy with some very new twists that keep you in the edge of your seat. I really don't understand the negativity some viewers are posting , this is very good . Maybe they need to have the same content from 1984 to enjoy this. I'm a child of the 70s and I love this new stuff. Very well done and a def must watch ! The Dark side is and will always be a must with a Star Wars story and saga. The Acolyte has it all !
Terminator Genisys (2015)
Please explain how the terminators time traveled ??!!
Ok so Kyle time travels once again to protect Sarah and was sent by his future son . They use this sphere thingy to time travel built by I assume is the machines. In this movie not only was there a terminator like Arnie but the new liquid T-1000. All were in the 1984 scenes. At the end of the 1984 part Kyle and Sarah use a thier own time travel sphere thingy to travel to 1997 upon Kyle's visions. However the Terminator now called Pops (Arnie) can't travel with him because no metal can travel or something similar. Sarah and Kyle are naked so basically no clothes too. Tell me ? How the heck did Arnie and the T-1000 get there ??!!!!
Constellation (2024)
Why have little kids in this ?
And family struggles of little to no importance. I want true Sci-Fi man. Just like raised by wolves they start this kiddy crap that NO ADULT wants to watch at least no adults into sci-fi. . I was actually hoping Rapace might reprise her role from Prometheus as Doctor Elizabeth Shaw . That movie is what I'm talking about. No kiddy dramas about their moms n dads being in space taking up my time anymore. I absolutely can not stand when they ruin movies and series shows with this type of fodder. Again.... I am speaking to the fact there are kids being focused on with their mom n dad issues. I can't be around it.
Killers of the Flower Moon (2023)
Killers of my precious time !
Ummmmmm.......... This took way too long to watch , the plot is a fantastic one and it's definitely a time and place in the history of our great country that not too many of us knew or know about. I have to say the power and money that went into making this film is a very good mirror to the movie itself. Some very big names in this movie so I'm sure they spared no expense. Long meaningless scenes of leafs in rivers and other random things that literally just seemed random and had very little meaning? Lots of weird flaws in the dialogue which made it kinda funny actually . DeNiro claims to have somehow learned an ancient language from the local indigenous people that movie is centered around ? Cut at least an hour off it and make it to the point. !!
Rumble Through the Dark (2023)
Eckhart ? You in there ? Wow!
This was wonderful ! What a great way to film this to . What a character this actor becomes and actually looked better in the fight scenes then some of the more well known actors not mention a decade younger these dudes need to get on the boat and take take note with Eckhart the crazy good accurate representation he showed was amazing and basically just kickass. The acting was great, the cast was near perfect and not gonna name names here .. I would say the storyline and general direction of the movie and its pace was very well done . But man did I enjoy this one and I hope this crew who made this get better too. !!
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023)
Tom is back !!
Never went anywhere though ! What an amazing film with action scenes that are so well executed and the cinematography was fantastic, along with the characters in what I think were perfectly casted. This is just another example of great movie making. Thanks Tommy C ! Wtg dude. Keep it up ! I can't wait for the next part to release. I wish it was sooner as I am anxiously awaiting its arrival. This review is simply letting anyone reading it that this is a movie worth way worth watching and you'll find yourself wondering when the Part 2 will out . If ya don't like this movie you probably don't like Tom Cruise and that's a shame.
Primal (2019)
Genuinely genuine and genius ! Well done in every way!
My only hope is the 3rd season is going to be more of the same. Keeping it dark and bloody with relentless plots and scenes. Reading about the reviews and the creators I get a sense they have found found a formula and have somewhat announced the return to the same formula. Only thing that would ruin it would be to make it more child friendly. I actually hope it gets darker and even more "Primal" !!! That being said I can't wait for season 3 and to see where the folks behind this are taking it after seasons 2 conclusion . The episodes are so great that any of them could be made into a full movie in my opinion. Must watch!!
The Artifice Girl (2022)
Bishop meets his match again!
I liked this one, has a great plot and the screenplay was well written .... Very LOW budget film that milks every ounce of what they had to make this a great movie and thought provoking experience. I wonder if the young girl who plays the Artificial Intelligent cyber/human replica child predator catcher has ever seen her Co-star Lance Hendriksen's role in the forever fabled classic science fiction movie "Aliens" as Bishop , a very similar being to her character and if she learned anything watching his role ? Also Lance should know better turning something like that loose ... I mean? Cmon dude!! I guarantee there is goin to be the same plot in a much larger production with bigger star power coming soon.
It's Such a Beautiful Day (2012)
Total Chaos
Too much goin on to even concentrate on anything! What a nightmare from start to finish. If you have multiple layers of audio it is hard to focus , ever watched TV while the radio is on ? Also we have stick figures and random stills as the video. I would rather watch a small child draw stick figures then watch what some supposed adults draw them . The other reviewers gave this ratings higher than The Godfather and The Shawshank Redemption.!! Obviously the creators or family and friends of these people. Anyways i hope this sheds some light on what you are in for , i wish i would've known better!
Your Highness (2011)
This is pure magic!
You either Love Danny McBride or ya don't. But the ones who LOVE this dude like me are loving this masterpiece! Actually i got alot of laughs from the whole cast , Franco was perfect for this role whether he liked it or not. Just when ya think it cant get funnier it delivers again. Bravo to the whole cast who were hilarious and i am guessing it was a lot of fun making this one. Wish they had bloopers and outtakes. Also the cgi or whatever was well done in my opinion, as was the actual action scenes. Im hoping that the full monty scene by Julie was CGI for Toby's sake ! Again this movie in my book is a perfect 10 !
The Last Movie Stars (2022)
Hawke killed this. Hawke 0/10 Everyone else 10/10
Subject matter and the actors chosen to read this were very good. Problem for me was Ethan had to be blabbing throughout the entire thing. Well at least 20 min of the first episode . I had to bail although I was very interested in Paul and JoAnnes life together . No reason to plop your egotistical rants of nostalgia throughout the whole thing when you already are directing it. I could stomach maybe an opening segment and then let the cast take over. For the record I'm not a Hawke hater but this was Hawke overload and hit a nerve obviously. Hopefully it will be done again with out a ball hog.
Alien: Covenant (2017)
Thank you Sir Ridley!
Yet again another beautiful shot film set against the New Zealand Fiordland National Park. Must be fun to search for places like this for his movies. Storyline is great and ties in with his earlier film with David and Dr. Shaw and I also live Mr. McBride in this one , he has that comical yet can be serious presence and to me it adds a new layer to the series. Can't wait for more please !
Lightyear (2022)
Almost Puuurfect!
Not sure why the mediocre reviews? Hits the spot for me ! Great plot and great Pixar viewing and of course Buzz is awesome ! All characters are great and the kitty is puuurrrfect haha !
Hellbender (2021)
Well done
A very crafty film , no pun . I am happy to say I enjoyed it very much . I hope to see more like this soon ! This has so much potential , a bigger budget and look out world .
Raised by Wolves (2020)
Love the sci-fi part!
Amazing concepts and ideas and cinematography is brilliant . That's why I watch. The problem for me is giving lead roles to teens having mommy n daddy issues . Oh It would have been an amazing and epic series if not for the gawky pre-teens and teens giving it a Disney morning show feel when what we crave is gritty sci-fi ,not a way to launch young kids careers at the viewers expense.
The Hateful Eight (2015)
Great story, Great acting and stunning camera work!
This is a film you have to watch a few times , so much going on with the plot and the characters that even the sharpest of minds will need to review it again . It's one of QT's finest films. Why folks are leaving "hateful" reviews just reminds me of how shallow the world can be . Kurt Russel leads the way in my opinion giving one of his best if not the best performance of his career . Not to mention the rest of the perfectly casted cast of QTs troops! 11/10 stars from this happy watcher . Please make more QT!
Hannibal (2001)
Amazing ! True classic from Ridley Scott.. 9/10
Ridley simply does it his way , and if you know his work you will simply enjoy this even more . The SOTL was definitely genius and I can understand this one not having the exact same cast and feel can rub folks the wrong way at first , but this is in my opinion a very close 2nd ! Get past the new Clarice . Julianne is a better actress and way hotter anyways .
This Is the Year (2020)
Whoa ! This is def one of those movies that will stand the test of time. Cult classic?
Seen this on its original release online and watched it all week at my leisure with and with out the family . Just reminds me of one of those movies that will be around for a long time . Classic characters , lots of laughs and has a message everyone can relate to. Great job and thank you keep making feel good films like this !
The World to Come (2020)
Great Movie
The setting and acting and the wonderful scenery made this enjoyable for me. Storyline is a bit weird but it makes the movie that much more interesting.
Alpha Dog (2006)
Unwatchable because of one horrible performance
Ben Foster is killing me , how can a director and other cast members producers and even just the janitor on the set not step up and tell him to stop . I get that his character is supposed to be wild and unhinged but this is so badly over acted it's almost comical . After Fosters performance sinks in you realize it's not going away. I like Ben he is a good actor but I'd have to say he'd like to erase this one.
