Moose Limbs (2017)
Okay, that was weird
I happened upon this video because I like short movies and a lot of times, they are better than then longer movies. I wondered why he ran over the rat at the beginning and I won't spoil it for anyone. It was strange, but I really enjoyed it. Not too much gore which is just fine with me.
Gentleman Jack (2019)
Only 8 episodes this season????
This is great series, but I was very disappointed on finding out that episode 8 was the last one for Season one. Couldn't believe this season was over this soon, whatever happened to 10 episodes for a season ? Please tell us there will be a season two as there is so much more to tell.
Hey, was wonderful that they got to the part where Anne and Sarah finally got back together, But leaving it off there is one heck of a cliff hanger since I know something about Anne Lister's life.
HBO and BBC, both you have done a great job in making one feel we are in 1800s England, the settings and the costumes were spectacular.All the details were great.I highly recommend this series to all my friends.
The Dark Knight (2008)
My rating 5 is being nice
After hearing all the glowing reports about Heath Ledger being the Joker I decided to see this film.While I loved Jack Nicholson's verison I'm always opened to another. I loved Bale's version of Batman after seeing Val Kilmer and Coolney going through the their films. Bale was great, but Ledger?
I couldn't make up my mind just what emotions he was trying to put forward.I hated the make up job and I ended up hated not only his character but the actor's way of playing the character.
I couldn't believe it when I heard people actually wanted him up an Oscar for this piece of garbage, but then there was a petition for no other actor to EVER play the role again ! For crying out loud, that is the height of ridiculous. I'd have to look it, but I have not recollection of that ever being done and thankfully I don't think everyone in the Motion Picture business paid any mind to it.
My 5 goes to the other actors in the film, wish it were higher, but the joker ruined it for me.
Papillon (1973)
Fantastic film from a great actor.
I saw this film when it first came out many years ago back when I was a major Steve McQueen fan. I recently watched it again on cable and after going thru the part where Papillon was stuck in solidary for 2 years I couldn't believe he didn't get nominated for the Oscar. He more than deserved it. He did get nominated for a few other awards but only that. The man was brilliant and we lost him much too some.
I haven't read the book but after reading one of the reviews here, I do plan to.
Another tidbit of trivia which is my passion, if you watch this great film is look at the fellow prisoners, you;ll see a young adult Bill Mummy from Babylon 5, and many other wonderful character actors.
Strange Magic (2015)
Couldn't stay in the room
This was playing on cable when I turned it. The animation was fantastic which was why I continued watching it trying to figure out what it was as the information from cable didn't help much. Loved the butterfly wings until.... they started singing songs that I recognized, that wasn't too bad at first then they started with the butchery of every song I knew. It was god awful. I tried to watch more hoping it would get better, it didn't
Viy (1967)
I really liked this movie
This was interesting,considering the date it was made.Yeah it did drag a bit,but I could live with it.The main thing that bother me was these guys were supposed to be getting reading for the church ? They sure didn't act like it. They were stealing from the town folk as soon as they got out for I guess Vacation, they acted more like people I knew from college.
Dil Ka Rishta (2003)
Nothing like the trailer
I saw the trailer on YouTube which which sparked my interest on this Bollywood film for several reasons. I really enjoy Bollywood films for the dancing and the music where the trailer mostly contained and I am a big fan of Arjun Rampal who I rarely see. I also enjoy the lovely Aishwarya Rai, who in the Trailer came across as a entertainer who was trying to get Arjun's attention for some reason in two occasions where she performed wonderful fantastically.
I didn't get a clue about the car wreck or her husband ( or him being killed ) in the trailer at all ! Talk about walking into a movie blind. That's really the bad part of the movie for me. Yes, the plot really needed work such the Mother's role in the second half where she would appear suddenly like a Vulture with that hateful stare. Damn, it could burn a house down. Good work for the actress playing her, sorry I forgot her name.
Chennai Express (2013)
Liked it , except.....
I really wanted to give this a great review, but.... the main nagging point I had with this film was the one line that kept being repeated through out the film," Never underestimate the strength of the common man." I could not believe the number of times they had SRK use it , as I not only lost count. It was nauseaus.
Happy New Year (2014)
Enjoyed this, fun movie
After reading all the bad reviews I wondered what I was in for, but I found Happy New Year to be a fun film. Most of the Bollywood films are shoot 'em ups which is okay for some if that is all you want to watch. I like to laugh at some movies and this is one that also has some serious moments concerning the father that the main plot is surrounded by. I enjoyed it and would recommend it.
NCIS: Los Angeles (2009)
Why is this called NCIS ????
I watched a couple of episodes since I love the original series NCIS. Why is this even have the name NCIS in the title ? They act more like secret agents than naval agents. The one full episode I could stomach dealt with the characters discussing how they hid their outside identities from people. LL Cool J's character had taken a wine class so he could pose as a wine buyer. I only turned in because I love Linda Hunt plus few other of the actors but it isn't enough to make me want to keep watching.
Chris O'Donnell has never been a favorite of mine, but was willing to give him a chance - he blew it.
