The Epic Journey (2015)
Changed my Life.....
.........I'll never be able to THANK the filmmakers for this documentary! It has changed my life. The power of Jesus Christ is unmistakable around the globe. The raw courage of these guys going around the world and risking their lives in certain areas tells it. I saw this on Daystar TV a couple years ago and it still stays with me. I also saw their basketball film that was amazing......God bless everyone here.
Slamma Jamma (2017)
....A True All-American Movie......
There is a lot of emotion in this film....wow....love it. As a Chicago guy, all I can say is this the best basketball film in ages....you will laugh, cry, and root....enough said....solid 9. Be well and God bless everyone on this thing.
The Family (2013)
Decent Film
The son Warren (John D'Leo) is a little more likable and resourceful, a bit of a nerdy type but he is so streetwise that he can tackle the bullies and become the new drug dealer at his new school in practically no time. Meanwhile, back at their temporary house, an old, charming European home with a run down greenhouse that could really use a little watering, DeNiro has found inspiration and has begun to write his memoirs in an old typewriter. They're being closely monitored by Robert Stansfield (Tommy Lee Jones), an FBI agent whose sole purpose is to check De Niro's every move. Even though The Family is a comedy about misfits in a foreign land trying to survive in their new surroundings, the movie loses precious momentum by exploring every family member's individual struggles instead of focusing on the main characters, or spending too much time following the romantic misadventures of a precocious teenage girl who has a crush on a school tutor and gets her heart broken once the guy goes on with his life (as he should, she's a psychopath, if you ask me). Am I really supposed to believe that this bully, violence-driven, vengeful girl has "feelings"? The plot is too predictable and been done a hundred times before. The only exchanges I enjoyed were whenever De Niro, Jones and Pfeiffer were on the screen. I remembered why I love coming to the movies and it's because we're infatuated with these movie stars and their likability. But that's not reason enough to buy a movie ticket and sit through a film that seemed to last an eternity. Several times during The Family I felt like getting up and going to the bathroom, getting popcorn and soda at the concession and take my time coming back to my seat, just to kill the time. You shouldn't have to wish that a movie be over, right? So take it for what it is
Spies Like Us (1985)
Great funny movie
If you don't smile at any point during this movie, your sense of humor is greatly lacking.
This movie is set up to make fun of several classics and itself, at the same time. Writers developed the funny and artistic way of getting a couple of out of luck actors to believe they are playing a major gig in delivering the missile. Then they add the classic love and heroism in an actual and understandable form. They comedy routines are timed perfect to keep the plot moving and the film from feeling long. The cast they put together has very familiar faces which the crowd easily recognizes as being funny and know they are going to get a good laugh. Truly and artistic masterpiece and a cult classic.
This is a wonderful treasure for a comedy collection and great to see again on the BIG SCREEN. This is certainly one that falls into college cult classic favorites.
