The Good Doctor (2017)
Good concept.
Good idea for a show but political focus hurt the impact the show could have had on Autusm and being better accepted in society.
Season4 became a train wreck.
Dr Melendez was the glue that held the show in reality. With our him, the show started losing credibility.
Ghahreman (2021)
Man with a troubled character tries to do good.
Our "hero" is a man who has been put in debtors prison, who's wife left him and his family has to raise his son with a severe stuttering problem.
He is released on a pass from prison to try and resolve the issue with his creditor.
This is a good story of a man than wants to do good, but his character allows him to take short cuts every time they appear or are offered.
He just can't seem to do the right thing in a right way.
One after another options appear that look like a way out for him, but the consequences of short cuts keep coming back to haunt him.
Almost immediately the audience develops sympathy for the man and his plight.
And, You can see he struggles at every turn to try and do right, even trying ti see God's hand in some opportunities: Insha'Allah.
The people outside his family want to help him, they just want to verify his story, because of his history of finagling. He then tries to find addition expedient means to help himself.
But, he ends up cutting corners instead of the virtuous.
Mayor of Kingstown (2021)
Good drama , heavy on politics
The drama was good, and most the acting was superb.
But the politics was think and heavy.
From the unneeded monologue of one sided opinions of Native American stories, to the assumption that all cops are dirty , even the good cops.
Could have been great if the politics were removed.
The Man from Elysian Fields (2001)
If you prostitute yourself you become a prostitute.
If you sell your soul to the devil, he will get yourself soul.
Byron wants success and is willing to give up his character to write with a legend.
Best quote:
"if you don't use success to enrich your life, then your just putting failure into Gucci shoes." Luther.
McCanick (2013)
Poor story and execution
Fantasy story about a bad cop.
Unrealistic plot, with extreme lack of knowledge of police procedures and investigations.
Skip it.
Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2005)
Slams leftists.
Good movie to show that government is not the solution.
Crazy (2008)
Good depiction of history.
Well grounded picture showing the talent of a great guitar player, plagued by the racist unions of America. But he fought on until he gave out.
2149: The Aftermath (2016)
The danger of big government socialism.
A good picture of big government out of control. Hiding the truth from people and creating obedience through fear mongering.
The Last Lullaby (2008)
Good movie , until the ending.
Good movie, good acting, but the director lost his way for the ending. The last 10 minutes did not fit with the story. Totally non-sensical and unrealistic.
Kind of like the hobbit finding the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain in a cave.
French Exit (2020)
Tragedy of life
A tragic view of life without purpose, without goals.
A tragic life wasted on trying to live life pretending to be something, with the tragic pain that you are not.
Beyond the Mask (2015)
Great swashbuckling adventure.
Not a religious film. Just because it mentions God does not make it religious.
This is a solid adventure film with great story of a man who chooses to do better than himself.
Great love story too.
Safe for family , with mild, not gratuitous, violence.
The Rising Hawk (2019)
A movie for strong patriot types.
A movie about fighting for your home against those who want to kill you just because your not one of them.
Passives won't understand the movie.
The Last Full Measure (2019)
America cares about its heroes
Here's what we're going to do:
We're going to roll the dice, go with the truth, no matter how uncomfortable that may be.
Underneath the Same Moon (2019)
Could have been.
Thus was a decent story , but the female lead was just not likeable enough to sell the part.
The characters just didn't match or flow together.
The male lead needed a stronger actor and more compatible female actor to make the story believable.
Wander (2020)
Good actors, bad story.
Not even good conspiracy dribble.
Actors played loonies pretty well, but the story lacked any sense or reality.
Maybe in the director's fantasy she can find a story but it just fails.
The Warrant (2020)
Good story. Reckoning or redemption.
Why do people expect perfect acting and perfect editing to tell a good story?
The acting was good enough and the editing was okay, but the story was really good.
It was also great seeing a movie without the gratuitous sex and foul language.
Well worth the time spent to enjoy a good story about good men dealing with a bad situation.
Forgiven (2016)
Good story, surprise ending.
Sorbo does it again. A solid story with good acting.
Not great acting, but good and believable.
Some will give bad marks without watching, or because they don't like the subject matter, but the story is still good and the characters maintain your interest and focus.
Una (2016)
A leopard doesn't change his spots.
Well done story of the damage such a crime can do to both victim and abuser.
Una is played well showing the confliction caused by the damage and by the human wanting to be loved.
Ray is also played well showing that even in asking for forgiveness he is manipulating and grooming her to his pleasure.
And Punching the Clown (2016)
JK Simmons saves it.
Was interesting idea and execution of the idea, but the show would have failed without Simmons.
The other actors did good, but.
Attack (1956)
Motivated me to enlist in the Marines.
Soon after I watched this film I knew I wanted to be a Marine.
Even though the USMC was not the focus here in this film, I knew I want the chance to help soldiers accomplish the mission assigned.
I eventually served my 20 and retired.
Sweetness in the Belly (2019)
Struggles of being human.
It was revealing how Lilly is disrespected and viewed with jealousy by most of the darker skinned women. Just because she has a lighter tone skin, they assumed she was given more by Allah.
Injustice is blamed for the poverty instead of the socialist policies.
Anger that a man chose a woman with different skin colour.
Lilly did a great job trying to Ethiopian and just a person, but people got in the way with their leftist ideals.
Wind River (2017)
Wolves don't kill unlucky deer. They kill the weak deer.
Good story, good acting, good filming, good country.
Very believable and honest movie about human nature.
Some survive. Some will not.
Submergence (2017)
Must see for yourselves.
Excellent film than many will misunderstand.
Yes, a love story, that compares the important work of two professionals, in what appear to be opposites professions.
It reveals humanity from differing viewpoints, with totally opposite world views.
Itshows the challenges both has trying to save humanity from itself.
Science reveals God, and God reveals science.
What are you willing to die for?
What are you willing to live for?
The Job (2003)
Desperation.
The lengths people go to get their drugs.
Reliance on doing what you think might make you happy for an instance.
The Mountie (2011)
Good period piece.
Same things happen all over the world. Corrupt men, taken advantage of good people.
And the few who must stand in the gap and risk their lives for freedom.
Great musical score, adds a completing touch to this story of determination under the brutality of corruption.
