Cocaine Bear (2023)
It's better than I expected
This movie fits right in there in the natural horror space though this one leads more heavily on comedy as you should expect as the precise though loosely based on a true story is absurd. I wouldn't say that this movie is revolutionary or any but it is certainly good enough to get lost in and have some solid laughs and watch over the top yet still funny gore. The actors in this are real and relatable the script is well written and very true to the time period that it was based on which is the 80's . I like that this movie doesn't try to be something that it is not it is kind of refreshing to see a movie that is not preachy and doesn't have a pretence it is just fun. It is a movie you can take anyone in their teens up to see and they won't be disappointed.
The Last of Us (2023)
Highly disappointing
Honestly went in hoping it was going to be great boy was I wrong. From the first episode on it was loosely based on the game and seemed to borrow more from TWD. Pascal was a good and believable casting option. Bella however has no real feeling of anything like the basis for her character. Personally I can't get a young much less talented Haley Joel Osment vibe from her in looks as well. I feel something with this much beloved story line to speak off should have been taken from much further than it was. I feel like this was made for an audience that may know the game exists but has never really played the game it fails on so many levels if I could give it a 0 I would. Even though it seems to try very hard to get you to care about the characters I find it hard if not nearly impossible to connect with any of them. This show is boring and slow which wouldn't be bad if the could produce some sort real tension. Watch at your own risk.
Black Panther (2018)
ok movie
It was overall OK the action scenes carried the movie the writing was bit lazy. Honestly it was bit bland to me it felt like they were making a black captain America which with the talent of Chadwich. Boseman and Michael. B. Jordan among others seems like a real missed opportunity. They could have made so much more with this movie.
The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
Interesting and fun!
I came in to the movie expecting not a ton of good even though the previews were good which is what they are supposed to do which is et you excited. That was tempered in me as the original Matrix movie was something to behold as a very revolutionary for the time is was made and the quality of the 2nd and 3rd had gone down in quality as generally happens fir a bunch of different reasons. Plus with all the movies that are coming out of Hollywood right now and how many horrible movies they are making left me with little or no hope for this movie to be good. But boy was I surprised this movie is not the best thing I have seen recently but it is certainly better than I could have imagined it would have been.
The casting of ancillary characters was very smartly done and the acting from them was great. The visuals were beautiful from end to beginning the action and fight scenes were well done from top to bottom. The script was very well balanced between call backs from prior movies to give us a good nostalgia feel and new information that will propel the story into the future. Overall it could have been better it certain senses like why can Trinity fly now and Neo can't and how does Neo have magical force field powers out of no where. Hopefully these things will be explained going forward in the next installment or installments which there surely will be. Overall this movie is a must watch one that you should watch both in remembrance of and in excitement that this won't be the last time we see Neo and Trinity team up/
Evolution (2001)
Interestingly wierd movie.
This movie is overall a pretty good movie it is funny and cute in a very late 90's early 00's way. For the time the movie was made it had an awesome cast. It also successfully tries to serious and yet irreverent and silly all at the same time. Overall I would say if you can turn your brain of and this movie on and enjoy the ride.
Goon (2011)
Good movie!
One of the best most real feeling hockey movies that have ever been made. Sean William Scott is a a very underrated actor this is one of the movies that show his flexibility and some of his true talent.
Santa Inc. (2021)
This is an actual 0 star
This is the biggest piece of garbage wannabe comedic mess I may have ever watched. I was able to make it all episodes. Now I know Sarah Silverman
has very rarely ever been funny but she goes the extra mile to be hopefully intentionally unfunny. Same can be said about Seth Rogen who hasn't made me laugh since This is the end. Craig Robinson is about the only positive in the whole but even his comedy in this is a bit flat. Overall watch it if you want like I did to see if it really is that bad. But please take it from me this is not worth you time or attention. This is exactly as bad if not worse then you have even heard.
Dune: Part One (2021)
Very good movie worth your time!
Overall the movie is very visually stunning the effects finally do it justice in many cases unlike the first one for obvious reasons. I am also glad they decided to stretch the movie out for as much ground as they have to cover it makes way more sense to stretch it out over several movies. Also it gives them a chance to hit more of the story and give it more depth and feeling. This one also does a good job of leaving wanting more and waiting for the next film in the series.
News of the World (2020)
Interesting, creepy, and slow in parts.
This movie is based on a former solider going through the south reading news to communities after the civil war. Honestly the pace is a bit slow and the and the main plot is a bit creepy (small orphan being taken across Texas on horseback by weird old war worn man putting both him and her in danger) , though it does call back to a time men where honorable which is a nice call out. Overall the movie could have been better but is absolutely worth a watch.
The Dark Knight (2008)
Sold
Batman is generally only ever as good as his bad guys that play his counter honestly no one has ever done it better than Heath Ledger. Overall the movie is a good to great in the pantheon of super hero movies but Ledgers performance takes it so far over the top that it is not even funny.
The Truman Show (1998)
Great
As far as Jim Carey goes in my eyes this is his absolute best work he has ever done. He is relatable, funny and just so amazingly enjoyable to watch. He does a great job all around of really capturing what life was like at the time though a lot play presently as well.
Voyagers (2021)
It's not to bad not to good either.
Overall was not a bad movie and I feel like they left an opening for a sequel. I wouldn't say it was an overall great or bad movie the acting could have been better. I wouldn't watch the movie again but would be interested in a sequel. If you haven't watched it, it is worth a watch even more so if you are into sci fi movies with an underlying statement.
Deadpool 2 (2018)
boom
Just when you think Wade Wilson can't get any better you get this a movie that is on par with the original which means it is another home run for the ages. This movie will make you laugh, enthrall you, make you cry from laughing so hard and then enthrall you again.
Deadpool (2016)
Stupendous
Of all superhero movies I have seen this is hands down the best. Ryan Reynolds is the perfect pick for actor in this movie. Every part of this movie clicks right in line with how you would imagine Deadpool to be in real life if there was a person who existed in real life. This movie absolutely stands out in a genre that has and will continue to become overcrowded. Do yourself a favor and watch this movie and then watch it again.
Captain Marvel (2019)
Weak
This movie is just one of the worst in marvel's cinematic universe. I am not sure if the scripted sucked or if was just Brie Larson's acting or a mixture of both though judging on other things I have seen more on her acting or lack there of in this case. There are some small positive parts not nearly enough to make this movie watchable do yourself a favor and pass on this film. You aren't missing anything.
Wonder Woman (2017)
Strong.
This movie is one of the best DC films to date. Gal Gadot was the absolutely perfect pick for Wonder Woman and does an amazing job of selling her role. The story line was very good great fight scenes and good use of CGI. The one thing that a found a bit off was the whole love story part of the movie didn't add much to the movie. Maybe the best part of that part of the story was left on the cutting room floor.
Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (2020)
Should have been better.
Ok the good Harley was good with some amusing action scenes. The bad not at all true to the comic book characters, the story line was poor without much direction seems like this movie started off with a decent enough plot but then the movie changed 30 times and then we end up with this mess. You can enjoy the movie if you turn of your mind and no nothing about the source material.
Reservoir Dogs (1992)
Enjoyable.
Tarantino's film here is hands down one of if not the best film he has made in his career. If you want to know what this director is capable of then this is a movie you need to watch.
Edward Scissorhands (1990)
Solid
Depp's weird likability is at full force here and turns a movie with a story that is a bit off into a movie that is one to remember for sure. It's not one you will run back to but not one you should shy away from.
Hoosiers (1986)
pretty decent.
For a sports movie this is a very good period piece. Hackman was very believable as coach overall if you like basketball movies you can't go wrong with this one.
The Princess Bride (1987)
Classic
A true an absolute epic in my eyes this is a movie you should be able to watch and enjoy with any person and if they don't like it run away fast. This movie truly is one you could watch now or then and get the same feelings.
Dead Poets Society (1989)
amazing
Possible the best Robin Williams film. For me it's either this or Good Morning Vietnam a movie that if it doesn't make you feel there may be something wrong with you.
Pig (2021)
interesting but average.
This review contains spoilers. This is the first Nicolas Cage film that I can remember that was just kind of a middling movie for me either he is amazing or awful. So I don't really have a big sway either way for this one think of it like Taken if Liam was a chosen backwoods hillbilly that use to be a high end cook whose grasp on reality isn't all there.
Trainwreck (2015)
Sad,
When you can confidently say that Lebron James did the best acting in a movie that should tell you all you need to know about a film don't waste your time.
Good Will Hunting (1997)
Wonderful
Damon and Williams do an excellent job I think it is the best acting job of Damon's career. A movie that anyone of any age can draw some likenesses to the main characters. Do yourself a favor watch this movie.
