Nightmare Alley (2021)
Slow Motion Torture
At the end I was thinking - thankfully its over. Slow slogging tale that I wanted to speed up and get to the point. A ton of great actors but this one was a waste of my time. Had I not been at the theater I would have switched the channel.
Being Rose (2017)
Tried to Stay Awake - Slow and Unbelievable
Wow what a snoozefest. There were so many unbelievable things in this move to stomach. An elderly woman that has a electric wheelchair that evidently never runs out of power. A retired police officer shoots her assailant ... in the foot - never happen - then leaves before police arrives then does it AGAIN ..... jeez. The sub plot with her rehab son unhuh - he's changed - Yeah cause heroin addicts always get better quickly. The Brolin romance - he loves her after a few days ... the whole move is unbelievable - watching someone ride around in a wheelchair with a tent on top ..... spare me and save you time for a good movie.
Peppermint (2018)
Did anyone giving this a good rating see it ?
When I useually like JG this move was a total disappointment. Half baked as far as how a surburban housewife becomes a super steath killer bent for revenge. Without giving any spoilers I give this a big thumbs down and agree with the critics.
The Marine (2006)
Almost like watching a SNL skit ......... But worse. Totally Unbelievable.
How bad could this movie be ? The whole thing from start to finish was like a SNL comedy routine. Being an action movie fan I can accept a great deal of plot holes and unbelievable sequences but jeez there is no way with as many automatic weapons being fired at this dude - no hits ! The ending - as a former life guard I promise she wouldn't be coming back from that one - even with the "heroic" tho incorrect life saving efforts. Skip this one for sure.
Lost in Transmission (2015)
Reality TV takes a turn for the worst ........
Holy crap – what world are these people living in – first after looking at some of these so called "restorations" I am embarrassed for these two yahoos – take for example the end of the AMC Eagle episode – they must have painted the car with the flat paint to hide the fact that the bodywork really wasn't done. You can see the dents in the doors and what the ^&*^ is the holes and dent in the rear quarter panel ? Not to mention the " we can do it for less" even tho they do NO work themselves other than removing some trim. No – this show is worse than Fast and Loud ( who really do their own builds ) worse than Misfit Garage ( which I didn't think was possible ) and truly a total cluster from start to finish. Hopefully it will be canceled and a real restoration show put in its place. To say that hipster Rutledge Wood is an " automotive expert " is a joke as far as restorations go. How exactly are they saving money over a "shop" as they mention in each episode other than cutting corners and getting the History Channel to drop some dollars on substandard work – no this show is a joke – please, please let it die a quick death.
Found (2005)
Wow - So Bad
This is like a expanded soap opera but worse. Such poor acting but even worse is the plot. Parents finding their daughter after 15 years from her being kidnapped - I've acted more excited over finding $20.00 in a jacket pocket. Tania Saulnier is a babe no doubt but that can't save this waste of celluloid. There are just so many holes in this epic - when trying to determine if someone is really your daughter and hundreds of thousands of dollars are at stake - no DNA testing ??? Come on. While one could spend more time finding the flaws in this creation...... my suggestion would be to "Find" something better to watch.
The Dark Knight (2008)
Very Sad, Disturbing Movie
Wow, saw the movie yesterday and must say I was completely disappointed in the whole thing. I enjoy action movies - Transformers, Superman, Spiderman - basically every comic known to the world and the common theme that good does indeed win over evil. Not in this movie- The DA Dent - the hero figure was bent into an evil monster. The heroine - blown to bits. Batman at the end a criminal hunted by the police ............. the notion - either you die a hero or stick around long enough to be the villain........ yup that is pretty much this whole movie. Batman was one dimensional. I did enjoy MC's Alfred but for me that was the bright spot as well as Morgan being the one that had morals. The scene where the boat captives had to choose - totally unbelievable - crazy convict would do the right thing ........ right. It is a twisted version .... a once great comic hero that now is a - should I do this or not type of guy. As in Jerry Maguire .... that is NOT what inspires people. It was a disturbing movie that I wished I had skipped.
World Trade Center (2006)
Not What I expected........
While I thought the movie may have been true to the book I felt many of the things were a bit off. The Firefighters for example were no where to be seen and were told to "go home" From my memory I remember they worked round the clock after the disaster to search for survivors. The real news footage showed a beehive of activity yet the movie made it appear that the only people searching were two guys that at one time were or wanted to be Marines. The movie was SO slow I felt sorry for the cops trapped but how long does it take to develop that ? . I really thought from the trailer that it would be a tribute to ALL the heroes that gave their all yet it really only focused on three guys. Two survived and the third dying a certain death decides to commit suicide.... hmmmm. I was totally disappointed in the film.
