Swordfish has not Aged Well

Watching Swordfish reminds me of eating at a Planet Hollywood restaurant.

I really identified with Neal. Watching this movie made me want to disembowel myself.

The Liberator (2020)
8/10
Contributes to Our Understanding of WW II
15 November 2020
This movie is an historically accurate depiction of real events and people that occurred nearly 80 years ago. Using modern animation techniques allowed for this significant, but untold, story of the last world war to be shared with generations of people who need to understand the sacrifices and carnage of such an event so as to not repeat the same mistakes. There are millions more stories from humanity's past, just like The Liberator, that must need to be told as truthfully as possible. I feel The Liberator sets a decent standard example for all future historical dramas that use animation when live action is just too prohibitive.

More Science! Less Fiction!
17 September 2020
Is it too late to write the next two seasons, and make this soap opera more like The Martian? There is way too much crying going on!

Funny Anecdotes by Tripping Gentrifiers
18 May 2020
Half of the show should have focused on those patients who used hallicinagens for therapy. It would be interesting to hear and see the trippings of a former smoker who kicked the nicotine habit.

Badland (I) (2019)
4/10
It's Not That Bad(land)
2 April 2020
This is a good introduction of the genre for young viewers. You can talk throughout the movie explaining the plot, historical setting, character etc. and not miss much. You can guide their experience with questions, point out common western traits., and foreshadowing clues. You can do all of this because the movie is true to the western genre and much of the wardrobe and settings are true to that time period, and, unfortunately, the dialogue is nearly unimportant. For a beginner course in westerns, one could do much worse (I.e.Wild, Wild West,etc.)

Good First Draft, Needs Help
2 April 2020
The plot and idea were good. The science was terrible. Really? A claw hammer in the space station? The creators should have open sourced the technical aspects. The user reviewers here seem to know more about the realities of space, and could have helped with the revisions.

A Sad Mirror of Our Ugliness
2 April 2020
We're not in a first world country anymore, Donald Duck. This documentary would keep people from such countries from ever considering emigrating to the US of A. Perhaps they could take our tigers instead.

This Movie Can Change Your Mind
24 March 2020
It was powerful and disturbing, but made me think. Be sure you are in the right mind set before watching.

Better Call Saul (2015–2022)

A Chicago Sunroof This Is Not!
13 February 2020
I could watch Better Call Saul with the sound off, and enjoy it more than many other shows. The camera work is amazing.

I want to see more
2 December 2019
Imperfect characters acting in virtuous ways. Portrayed by actors that come across as genuine and real. Wonderful music, reminds me of traditional American folk. Authentic Japanese values and culture presented, according to my Japanese couch buddy.

Stripped Down Brevity At Its Best
17 October 2019
"Say Something!" yells the ex-girlfriend. Her character seems to be both the antagonist in and the critic of this funny, character driven, camera angled film.

See it more than once, and most will appreciate the effort spent creating Mustang Island. I liked how the monogram key chains in the souvenir shop we're arranged to spell something of artistic importance.

Right Movie Wrong Decade
2 August 2019
This film would have been perfect as a made for TV movie in the 1970's with commercials and only 3 channels of viewing options. Netflix should wise-up to the fact that there is competition in the streaming services today and aim for quality over quantity.

Suggestion: Character Map
23 July 2019
I agree with all the positive reviews, descriptors, and comparisons. Find a character map (without spoilers) online and keep it as a reference. It will help you remember character names. Ja! Watch it in German!
