LaRoy, Texas (2023)
Ending ruined movie
Not worth it. The ending was so bleak and uninspiring and thoughtless that it destroyed the entire movie. Also about half way thru it goes downhill. Waste of time. And?
I'm being forced to write more words. Or I can't send this review. Therefore, I'm just going to mumble through on my speakerphone like I said, the movie was overall absolutely stupid, but the beginning did show promise. More of a teaser, so you're waiting and waiting for something to happen. But by the time it gets in the mid section it's going downhill fast and the ending is even worse. Just very dull and bleak and bland ending.
The Way Way Back (2013)
Adults can watch too
Great movie! Surprised me. Fun and dramatic with emotional twists and hurt feelings. Not only for kids but grownups. Theres a message for all ages in this heartwarming movie. Feeling a little blah-zay? This will cheer ya up.
The teen character pulled this off very well.
A good mix of humor and courage and unusual friendships. Single parents, dating, trust, selfish boyfriends, cute young teens trying to grow up, drunken moms, needy moms, wild people giving a helping hand and support.
Sit down get comfy and enjoy the film.
You'll laugh and tear (cry) up at the same time.
People come and go in our lives.
The Neon Demon (2016)
Crap
This is why I should have looked at the reviews before watching. Waste of 2 hours! Absolutely garbage.
It struggled to form a path of meaning but seems it got caught up in a web of ridiculous twisted nonsensical deadends.
Keanu Reeves played a minimal part in this film but the very idea of his participation increased my dislike for the dude. He's always taken on dirt bag roles.
The chick's in the flick are just as bad
It felt like the idea of thus film was created while the dummies were sitting around the sofa smoking a bong and getting drunk.
Likened to a bad dream.
Pure garbage. No meaning except superficiality kills ya and the lowlife of Hollywood will eat your heart and eyeballs out!!!
Run for your life.
The First Omen (2024)
10 for its original and clever delivery
Wow. Great ending. Mystery twist. Suspenseful and rivoting story. Not too scary at all. I enjoyed this movie. Carefully thought out. Delivered to the audience a big ending with a gut punch.
Actresses and actors fit well in their parts. The story line made me think, "what if." Found myself imagining the possibilities behind the scenes in real life at the Vatican. What IF there is so much more going on and the supernatural is more incredible than we could ever possibly accept or believe. What if this could be true? My mind was kickstarted and I watched carefully.
Takes us back to the beginning of how the original story unfolded. Very good!
Abigail (2024)
Ending the best part
The movie is suspense horror.
The best part of the movie is the ending which was unusual and original.
The overall movie was not unique or original only the ending.
Go ahead and watch the movie if you like spooky movies and there are a few clever lines in the movie the actors are okay and try to ignore my grammar because I'm actually speaking into the phone and it will not let me use the period when I tell it to put a period at the end of the sentence like I said it's not the greatest movie out there to watch it's a bit sloppy but if you like to watch something that might scare you a little bit go ahead and try to watch it.
Fair Play (2023)
Emotional Intelligence is vital
In the end it doesn't matter how high a persons IQ is. Or how intelligent and sharp and how many first prize shiny gold projects a person can complete ...and perfectly. Getting straight A's and being the teachers pet is helpful but it's not everything. Not when a romantic crisis happens or matters of the heart where one finds their ego erupt like a beast creating a tornado of pure destruction and catastrophic chaos.
This movie violently grabs the audience and forcefully makes us watch a seemingly nice successful and educated man crumble and regress into a self entitled 5 year old.
Bottom line: invest in yourself and learn how to be emotionally intelligent. Read books. Go to therapy. Know your limits. Act your age!
Invest in yourself first.
Best!
The Outfit (2022)
Nearly perfect
Well well. This was as crafty as I expected. I was looking for a decent movie and I found this.
Nearly perfect!
Without a second thought I put the movie on and said this is going to be a great movie - which I never do - and it was. The perfect actor to play the cutters role. Quiet focused and artfully skilled in cutting and making
clothes. But keep watching because you will see this quiet very demure and agreeable older gentlemen has many secrets to share.
The 1950's mobster theme story line is only the surface. I don't want to give away too much of the movie so get comfy and enjoy this movie!
The Burial (2023)
Enjoyed!
This one surprised me. I've dodged it for months. Ignoring it as it flashed 'watch me' on Prime. Figured it is most likely a mindless bomb or boring movie.
Plus I haven't had a high opinion on Foxx after a few of his controversial public comments around pro BLM stuff. So I steered clear of his name. But like I said I am pleasantly surprised and I found myself enjoying watching this movie by myself here today in Europe on a Sunday afternoon. Tommy Lee Jones has always been one of my favorites. This was a very different part for him to play in his very old age but suited him well. I totally recommend this movie. Especially for anyone no matter what race you are if you feel you have been cheated or taken advantage of by companies or people in general!
Brutes and Savages (1978)
Savage and brutes IS RIGHT
Lord have mercy. Pure evil. What some humans do is completely evil and unspeakable torture to these poor animals my gosh. And to think that we have opened our border to some of these horrible Savage people from Mexico and South America even China and other Asian countries and Africa and Haiti and Dominican Republic. And I am speaking about the bad eggs the true Savage beasts who are in human form. I truly think Jesus Christ has brought civility to those who listen. I'm afraid most of the USA is starting to become and regress back to the Savage ignorant Criminal age. When crime is actually glorified.
Ace the Case (2016)
Very clever crime-comedy
This is one of the best comedy drama crime movies I've ever seen. It's very clever. And the actors they used fit the parts perfectly. The characters really do come across as believable. Susan Sarandon looks fabulous for 70 years old in this film. She's worked on looking good and it does show. One of the characters -the little girl is incredibly a naturally funny witty kid. I couldn't believe how she made me laugh. There are parts of the film she surprised me.
The Shady character who holds the rabbit is hilarious. I mean the guy fits the parts so perfectly and he is so witty and hilariously funny. The Chinese guy was a great actor and really fits his role very well.
Basically like I said all of the actors fit their character role very well extremely well.
If you want to see a funny movie mixed with some crime drama sit down and watch this. I did read some reviews where the parents were not pleased with it. In that case with your children you can supervise the film sit with your kid and watch it. Or as an adult it's fantastic.
Nefarious (2023)
10 for profound
Deep dive into the TRUE definition of evil that "is before our eyes daily but society doesn't see it or feel it," according to the actor portraying a demon. Sean Patrick Flanery pulled this off very well. The psychiatrist actor Belfi too did a superb job drawing my attention deeper into the story. Belfi was quite engaging and believable. The film was quite clever and theologically very well researched. Communicated a strong message of warning to get back to doing God's will and how we are bombarded today by what is good is evil and what is evil is good.
Confusion. I think that's what the prisoner possessed was conveying to the psychiatrist that in today's world people are falling into the devil's hand with all of the evil taking over and being accepted by free will. Devil has tricked man. For instance "abortion is actually murder" says Sean Patrick the prisoner possessed and he goes on to say transgenderism and all those other twisted anti-creation anti-God sentiment is glorified lies leading to hell. Intense film and very good to hear a director standing up against evil in our world. Great job! God bless these directors and book author.
Christmas in Conway (2013)
Andy makes me cry
I don't know if my previous review went through so I'm going to have to write again. Andy Garcia not only is handsome and Charming and very approachable but he has a way about pulling at the Heartstrings and making women feel emotional. It's from his emotional presence. He knows how to cry and show his emotions and he's not afraid to show his emotions he wears his emotions on his shoulders. This is very unusual and it's very unusual for an actor to be this incredibly gifted and skilled to draw in the audience and make them emotionally vulnerable and bring up tears and you see people crying left and right. He's A Gifted Man love him.
Big Driver (2014)
Excellent
This movie thought like I would if I were in her position. In fact this is exactly how I think when bad things happen. I always tell myself shut up take some time out step back and think. Never let the enemy know you are going after them. Do it in a very calculated strategic way that does not hurt you the victim. This was horrific to see her the character be assaulted like she was by this horrible evil psychopath but the whole strategy thereafter that unfolded was worth it to watch the movie. Learn how to handle hardship. This wants me to write more characters so I will keep on talking until NOW. 😂
Beast (2022)
Pretty suspenseful - emotional
"I do not know how to hotwire a car. I went to medical school." 😂 That was good. Hilarious! The movie is very warm and shows a loving father who is tortured by his lack of involvement in his family especially that he was not there for his wife when she was dying. So however the movie appears to be the dad taking the kids on a vacation trip where his African wife was born and raised. This is not a giveaway and this does not expose what the film is about however in the depth it's basically a family trip meeting up with a good loving family friend who was a white guy. It is suspenseful and enjoyable grab your popcorn and enjoy it.
Trial by Fire (2018)
Captivating and emotional hook
Found this movie to be extremely interesting and emotionally captivating. A severe hopeless saga of denigrating and pitiful interactions encapsulated in a poor lowlife trashy lifestyle. The love couple are stuck in a sticky suction of undercurrent revealing a reckless toxic dysfunctional relationship. At the very base reveals uneducated poor White Texas blue collar drunks who neglect and abuse each other.
The worst outcome possible to witness grown adults so extremely wounded, hopeless, drug and alcohol addicted and unambitious. Prisons are full of self-destructive folks who display stupidity and have no direction or interest in self-improvement UNTIL THEIR LOCKED UP AND WRONGFULLY ACCUSED.
Innocent toxic idiots are vulnerable to the SOMETIMES corrupt justice system. Very sad movie. Tears. RIP to the innocents.
Great movie. Hard to believe these people exist. Sad but true. Worse is being crucified for a crime you never committed and betrayal of a loved one when you need them most.
Watch it!
Intersections (2013)
Surprisingly good
Interesting. Kept my attention. Action packed. Suspenseful. Drama. Come to think of it... it almost discloses a tone of anti-liberal feminism or anti women via putting females in their place. Very unusual film. And then I see it is filmed in Morocco and I'm not sure who the director is but it could be a Muslim person involved in this film. They seem to portray the western female as a conniving backstabbing thug. Of course the two in the film actually are. But it would be interesting to see who wrote this film. It did keep my attention as I say. There was an element of good versus evil as far as behaviors. Pretty good movie though overall.
Oliver's Deal (2015)
Rivoting kept my attention
Demonstrates that character is who we are behind closed doors. Everyone at some point will be forced to make a decision. It will happen. The decisions we make are a compilation of what our desires are. Selling the soul ... For what? Swapping. Trading. All to get what we think is right or simply our desires. But is that a lie? Are we blinded by our selfish interests? Is it the right thing to do no matter what? Can we live with our decisions? Who do we hurt along the way? Emotions cloud out views of what is right. It takes tragedy sometimes to see what is most important. Then true character is revealed.
Timepiece (1996)
Beautiful story of romantic love and friendship
Worth watching. Sit down. Get comfortable. Here you'll find a touch of Warm interactions, loving loyal friendship, faith in God and kindness. There's a sting of betrayal and suffering. And then forgiveness. But not until the emotional process is given time to find its balance. Life isn't fair. Its not a steady stream of perfection and smiles and feeling great every day. No matter what color you are there's a challenge up ahead. It's all about how one handles and reacts to the obstacles and painful unfair events that cross the paths of life. Love joy friendship peace forgiving and letting go. God.
Outback (2019)
Zero stars: ridiculous and boring
First of all the female character was a total b**** to the mopey dude. I feel badly for the guy if this is truly how he was treated by this female. Secondly how stupid can you get to drive deep into the isolation of the outback especially without water supplies, food and safety measures. The movie was idiotic however maybe it will help someone who's as stupid. I've been to Sydney and Cairned Australia. No I didn't swim in the jellyfish infested waters. Rest in peace to the sad guy who died a torturous painful death drinking windshield wiper fluid. The trip was not worth it at all. Be careful who you fall in love with people. The chick was awful.
The Retrievers (2001)
Golden retriever lovers 💝
Adorable warm sweet movie. If you're a dog or animal lover it will be fun to watch. If you're a golden retriever lover it will melt your heart. Plus the location scenery is gorgeous. Go check it out. Get comfortable in your chair grab a blanket grab some coffee or tea or whatever you like maybe some popcorn and sit down and watch this. Invite your little pet to join you. Maybe get some snacks for your pet. And if you don't have a pet just relax and enjoy this cute movie with beautiful scenery. I wasn't sure to watch it but I'm glad that I did. I of course have a baby golden retriever. Very sweet movie.
Brittany Runs a Marathon (2019)
It was great until...
I was enjoying the movie completely all the way through the twists and turns and mood swings and self-pity and longing and loneliness and frustrations and efforts to improve efforts to become a better person stumbling falling getting back up falling again having self-restraint self-control self-discipline sense of humor insight and courage to stand alone up until she insulted a big fat obese woman at her brother-in-law's birthday party. That little part showed a psychopath that completely ruined the whole movie for me. Because all of my empathy towards her went out the window. I can understand going after someone that you know but if you don't know them it makes you look like a complete psychopath. It went downhill from there so about 75% of the movie is great but the last 25% ruined for me.
Life in Color (2015)
I liked it
Good movie. Raw human interactions. Dry humor. Vulnerable and realistic. Two people stuck in the doldrums of life somehow find a common thread in there doomed dark existence. The hard luck and hard times that fall on individuals at times seem to bring these lost souls together in a quirky funny and uncomfortable way. It did seem very realistic and believable because I have known people like this and at times I have felt the pole the curtain fall down in life or upon me and I don't want to do much but I just go with the flow and not control it sit in my pain and just sit and relax and pamper myself and great things happen. And so it is in this movie.
In the Blood (2014)
Glad I watched
Looking for a good movie to focus on and enjoy. Woooohoo! Great choice. Action packed with a colorful adventure. Scenery is pretty. The story unfolds with a bold lesson given to a child who somehow later finds love as an adult. Boom. The honeymoon and excitement and danger and surprise take us on a edge of seat intensity. Yes I recommend that you watch this. A female lady who can defend herself is worth watching. Didn't expect such amazing punches and incredible moves. Bad guys vs good guys? This is it. Come on over and sit down. Relax. Get comfortable and tune in to a stimulating energy packed with punches.
The Menu (2022)
Stupid
I cannot recommend this movie. It had potential but it really was off the top ridiculous and made absolutely no sense at all. You're probably better off watching the 1950s movie The fly. LOL. Seriously this movie was basically a get-together with some pretty famous faces that we've all seen in Hollywood and they all enjoy a big swanky location but it has absolutely no meaning. I guess you could compare this movie to a bored old man who has nothing better to do than to sit in his basement and pretend that he's a wonderful chef and he's going to destroy the world because he's all screwed up and he came from a screwed up background. I know that sounds ridiculous but that's how stupid the movie is.
Nobody (2021)
Keep watching gets... GREAT
The movie starts out a bit dull. Or so it seems. Don't push stop. I about stopped watching 4x but kept on as the movie unfolds and paints a energetic spring. Talk about "humble" and "soft spoken" or "boring." Um... Best to be very careful around the nice boring guys. Why? Because they're usually full of piss and vinegar. Ive met quiet boring types who are the at the end result the most powerful reliable friends. Sometimes the boring one is the most confident and feels comfortable alone or not bragging or giving more than taking. Well this movie will make you shout for the underdog or at least you thought... He's actually the KING..
