Tarot (I) (2024)
7/10
Tarot
2 September 2024
This is a interesting horror film that I feels like tries hard. In some areas, actually most, the film succeeds. This is not a classic horror film like the work of like a Wes Craven, but it still is a interesting film. The movie is about a group of goofy friends that are simply having a good time hanging out and they run out of alcohol like in as they are partying in the home that they rented to have some fun in. They try to find move alcohol in the home because it's the home of a rich person and they end up finding Tarot cards. They have some more fun in which they thought was harmless fun and they start doing readings. But little did they know what they were doing was not harmless at all and people start dying.

Katt Williams: Woke Foke (2024 TV Special)
10/10
Woke Foke
2 September 2024
I thought this film was absolutely hilarious! Completely funny from start to finish! Katt Williams is crazy and has a crazy style that nobody else does. He is one hilarious man. He touches on so many things like the media, racism, politics, and so many other things just to name a few. One big take away that I have from his comedy is how much people are not realizing what is going on in the world and how ridiculous that the real news is that is in the world right now How unbelievable some of the things that we see now and we just accept because it has become so normal. Also his jokes about slavery will crack you up as well! Great comedy!

The Bricklayer

I was not super crazy about this film when I viewed it. First off, part of the problem with this film is that it's a story that has been told before if you have seen any secret agent or CIA movies. And by 2024, we all have. The story is very typical with a story that you would see for a Liam Neeson film. Now, the action is there, no question about that whatsoever. It just did not interest me as a film buff. The story was just to basic for me. I think Hollywood is struggling right now to find good, original scripts that are relevant to society. And all we seem to get is Marvel movies and sequels of films that we thought we were done with in the 80s.

What a sad messed up story. Horrible story and to think this is a true story. That's the worst part about this documentary. I first found out about this story from watching the old TV show Unsolved Mysteries and I ended up looking more into this and discovered this documentary, which goes into way more detail the Unsolved Mysteries does about the characters. The story is about a man who pretty much is on the run because he is a suspect in the murder of a stripper as well as a young man. The story just gets more and more sad when you watch this documentary because you see what this man does to the young lady and the people in his life.

Untold: The Murder of Air McNair
29 August 2024
So I am be a little late to this because I do not watch football and I am not much of a athlete so I do not know who Steve McNair was until I watched this documentary last night. I thought it was a really good documentary, especially if you did not know the story, as I did not. Steve was a very good quarterback with a very sharp mind in the football world. He was great at him prime and seemed to be very loved by the fans. But unfortunately his life was cut tragically short when he was murdered in 1999. Out of respect for his family, I will not voice my opinion on what happened because that's not my place. I think this is a very well put together documentary. The only thing I would say is there is maybe to much time spent on the game of football and less on the actual Murder investigation.

The Marvels (2023)

The Marvels
27 August 2024
I don't know about this one. I thought it was ok. The action was fun and the story was fun, but overall the film is missing something, but I dont know what it is. The plot is about young girls who want to become superheros that are big time and they get the opportunity. The cool part, and quite honestly my favorite part of the film, is Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury. I love the character of Nick Fury and he does not disappoint one bit in this film. Otherwise that is about it for me. It's just ok. I could take the film or leave it. Nothing to great here to see, in my opinion. But watch if you love marvel.

The Waterboy (1998)

The Waterboy
26 August 2024
It has been many years since I last seen this film and I enjoyed it as much as I had before in the past. This is just a great silly comedy staring Adam Sandler and Kathy Bates. The film is about a simple man who is a complete Mama's boy but is also the local college football teams waterboy. And boy does he take this job seriously. He gets fired because his coach is a jerk but he gets hired on by a team that is more of a underdog and more excepting to him. Until on of them goes to far with teasing and that's when the coach realizes that Bobby has a talent and recruits him to play on the team... but this has to be a secret from Mama! This is a hilarious comedy that ages very well just a good comedy.

Con Air (1997)

Con Air
25 August 2024
I have loved this film since the first time I have seen it at least 20 years ago! This is a great action film and nothing more. You can't watch this film with the expectation of anything other then a good action flick. The story is about a good man who is in the service and coming home to celebrate, but someone at a bar goes to far and is disrespectful so he beats him to death and gets a sentence. Fast forward a few years later and he the U. S. Government assembles a group of majorly insane cons all on one airplane. Now what is going to happen when you do that? Plane hijacking! This film is a great action film with a good cast that all works very well together.

The Color Purple
25 August 2024
When you look at sequels or remakes, one must expect the remake to not be as good as the original. It is what it is. But you cannot completely take away the vision of the director and writer of the new version of the film. That is what I see with the remake of The Color Purple. I think this film is ok overall. I wont get to much into the plot of the film because it is very similar to the original and most Americans have seen the original by now. What I will say is that this time it is a musical, which you either love or hate. I personally think it's ok. I would recommend watching this film if you love the story. I think if you are open minded you will enjoy.

Pain & Gain (2013)

Pain & Gain
20 August 2024
What a wild movie. Many years have passed since I originally seen this so I had kind of forgotten what I was getting myself into watching this movie 11 years later. What a crazy dumb group of young men. Weak to I might add. The film takes place in Florida with a few losers and wannabes that are ex cons and wanting to be somebody in the world. One of them is a loser with vision, the other is just a plain loser that is a former drug addict with a slight cocaine proble that caused him to go to jail. The other takes steroids and can't function as a man.. they get together to create of the most ridiculous crimes in the most ridiculous way.. and on top of that they can't stop at just the one crime!

Summer Camp (2024)
8/10
Summer Camp
17 August 2024
I enjoyed this film, although some, according to the reviews, did not. The film is about a group of friends that formed a friendship 50 years ago at a childhood summer Camp. At first they all started out shy or aggressive and then after a few circumstances they became friends. Good friends that have become friends for life. While in some instances they did not become as successful as they wanted, they are all still at a level of good success. I think this film is a good film about what happens to different people in life. This is a great cast as well that all work together. I would definitely recommend this.

Civil War (I) (2024)

Civil War
17 August 2024
I must say, I did think this film was all that. I thought the film was ok and somewhat disappointing overall. I heard how well it did in the theater so when I rented it I thought I would love it. But I didn't. It's just a film about a chaotic America that takes places in the future with a few states going Rouge, which I guess is the definition of a Civil War, but I guess what I am not enjoying is that the fight is not real good. It's just a group of journalists trying to get to DC before these radical groups do. That's it. End of story. Ypu can watch this if you please, but good luck it's not great.

Boneyard (2024)

This film was very good, despite reviews that I seen about it that said the opposite. So this is not a big budget film and the cast is not high budgeted either, but it is still a good film. So the highest budgeted star is Mel Gibson, who does great in this film as the old, dried out psychological investigator. Curtis Jackson, in my opinion does well as the cool, calm, and collected police chief. The film is centered around women who are found murdered in buried in Albuquerque and the police are trying to find who committed these crimes. It appears to be a inside job, but the police detectives must prove all this. I don't wanna spoil it, but this film, in my opinion, is worth viewing if you love a gritty thriller.

Wanted Man (I) (2024)

Wanted Man
12 August 2024
Lately I have been so into looking got just a good Hollywood movie that I am down to watch anything. So I rented this off Amazon Prime. I will admit, I was not disappointed with this film. It is dark and gritty, but still very enjoyable. The film takes place I believe a time of body cameras where a veteran cop is caught on tape saying racist things to a Hispanic person. There's no denying it's him. His chief sends him on a special assignment at the border where he uncovers more trouble after a attempted assassination. He then learns very quickly that he cannot trust anyone. This isn't a high budget film but it's still good.

Late Night with the Devil
6 August 2024
This is one weird movie. If you enjoy films like The Exorcist or anything in that family of movies, then you would enjoy this. It's not as deep as that film, but still is pretty good horror film. The film takes place in 1977 centered around a man that is a talk show host who seems to have a great life and a successful life. His wife, whom he is deeply in love with, gets incurable cancer and passes away leaving him lost and very hurt. He takes some time off then returns and that's when it gets weird. The network does a Halloween special and that's when weird things starts to happen to the guests and the audience. This is a independent film but I would give it a chance.

Reunion (II) (2024)
9/10
Reunion
6 August 2024
When you view this film you have to tell yourself it is what it is. This is not a great piece of cinema. This is not a Agetha Cristie Whodunit. This is just a silly low budget comedy that turns into a whodunit but is still fun and entertaining. Take it for what it is, don't seek something that it is not. This film is very fun to watch though. The story is centered around a group of people that have been invited to a wealthy friends home for a high school Reunion. Some have kept in contact with each other and some have not. They have drink ls and reminisce. Then the next day they find one of them murdered and another and another. At this point it is all about who committed this crime and why! This is a fun film to view once just to relax after a hard day!

Reservoir Dogs
1 August 2024
This is a great film by Quentin Tarantino. This is his film piece of work and it is excellent. This film is about 6 strangers that get assembled by a local mob boss to pull off a jewel heist. You get the impression that the thought process from everyone is that it was going to go smooth but it does not. Almost immediately after they start the heist police show up and the men shoot their way out. After that the survivors are forced to try and figure out who the rat was in their crew... or was there a rat at all? This film is just flat out classic. Several young actors that go off to make big film careers.

Bad Boys II (2003)

Bad Boys 2
28 July 2024
Classic. Michael Bay knocks this out of the park. This film is great. Martin Lawrence and Will Smith have excellent chemistry together. The film takes place in Miami, with the main characters being a few years older then in the original. Marcus is still the same. Overprotective of the ones he loves but still a dedicated cop. Mike is still the same. Overprotective of the ones he loves, a player, and still a dedicated cop. This time they are trying to take down a major drug lord I'm Miami that is connected to the cartels and means business. The action in this film and the story really make this a great sequel.

Gorilla x Kong: The New Empire
28 July 2024
Well this one gets a A plus for good action, that's definitely one of the strong points of this film. I believe this one is the third in the series. So Gozilla and Kong are acting crazy again and fighting, like in the other films. The film is showing now how time has gone on and scientists are still intrigued with Godzilla and Kong. I think the story is fun to watch it doesn't not require a lot of thinking, just watching the story and the fun action. I would recommend if you want to watch a film with a lot of action and overall not a bad plot. It could have some scary images for younger audiences.

Road House (2024)

Road House
28 July 2024
Obviously this wasn't going to be as good as the original, nor could we expect it to be. However, it is more modern time focused and is interesting in it's own way. The film takes place in the Florida Keys at a bar where a former UFC fighter has been recruited to be the security to rule out some bad guys from a biker gang. As this happens though, the newly hired hand is learning more about the community he works in and how it is over run with organized crime. I thought the film was good for a single watch if you enjoy a fun film nothing to serious. Can't compare to the old film, this one is different.

Jeanne du Barry
26 July 2024
I thought that overall this film was pretty good. This film has fallen victim to the new world of streaming, instead of people going to the movie theaters like we did 10 years ago, any more movies are harder to find, if they don't have huge releases and this is one that I had actually overlooked due to the fact that I don't think it did. Big in the theaters. I thought Johnny Depp did outstanding as his role of the French king. This is a very interesting story of a young lady who grew up in poverty and ended up becoming the mistress of a king in france and where she ultimately caused him to die.

Asphalt City (2023)

Asphalt City
21 July 2024
Sean Penn is great in this dark New York City drama. The film is centered around two paramedics one seasoned and one new to the game that then become partners. They work the overnight shift in New York City as paramedics, so they see some crazy intense stuff along the way. Either I am missing it or I am not properly following it, but the film does not seem to have much of a plot other than to shoe how gritty the city is to these paramedics and it shows two men young and older on how they deal with it. I don't think the plot was there until about the last 30 minutes which is a huge flaw of this film.

Sleeping Dogs
21 July 2024
This is another good performance from Russell Crowe in my opinion. The film is centered around a retired police homicide detective who is suffering from a disorder that is creating memory loss. He is called by a inmate that is on death row that wants him to help clear his name in a murder conviction that he claims only he and Russell Crowea character know the true identity of the killer. The retired police detective agrees to help him track down the real killer and the story just goes from there. Very good performances in this film and the storyline is good as well. I would not say it's predicable but it's still a good movie.

Brokeback Mountain
13 July 2024
You cannot argue a good story, no matter how you feel about the overall content of this film. This film starts out in the 1960s with two ranchers getting put in charge of sheep and herding them. They are both married men with children, but somewhere along the line they end up forming a relationship with each other that is intimate. As time goes on they try to carry on regular life while living this secret life. But it does not work out. They end up losing more friends and even relationships back home in their real world. So, I am a big film person and I love literature especially when there is a good story and some substance behind it. The reality is, this film has a good story, it's filmed absolutely beautifully, and it is very well acted. I would recommend this piece of work.

Beverly Hills Cop:Axel F
7 July 2024
I'm not going to lie I was skeptical about this film when I went into seeing it. The third installment of the series is kind of weak, but I was glad to say I really enjoyed the film! It met all my expectations of a film! First and foremost, Axel is way to old to still be chasing bad guys on the street, but I suppose that's neither here nor there! This time he returns back to Beverly Hills because he hears that his successful daughter is in trouble and he must help her out. She is a successful lawyer, but is chasing some bad men on a case that roots back to police corruption. I really enjoy the addition of Kevin Bacon in this film as well as the old gang from the original film getting back together. This is a great film! Don't miss it!
