Willis phones in another One-Day shoot for cash.

He did not even bother to stick around for a photoshoot for the movie poster. They cut and pasted his photo from "Midnight In The Switch Grass" to this.

That alone should warn you to avoid it all together...

Watch the trailer. Its over 2 min. And gives away pretty much everything this movie is trying to offer you.

Other than that, it is a movie that doesnt even trying to offer anything new in the serial-killer franchise.

Last i saw was Seven.... from 1995.

Acting is poor. Megan tries her best but is still stiff and wooden. Bruce Willis phones in his role with shooting all the scenes in one day and collects a paycheck. He does not even bother trying anymore. Yet he is plastered on the poster of the movie to gain viewers.

Emile Hirch gives his best but has little to work with.

Machine Gun Kelly is just a bystander suspect in this and probably does the best acting of anyone. But is only in it for 5 min.

Early on you are treated to the identity of the serial killer and kills off ANY little suspense it has to offer. The director is satisfied that the bad guys lust for killing is because he likes to sniff his victims clothes (?)

Once Bruce Willis bails Megan because he does not want to get killed (?????) the movie just have no care anymore and is concluded the quickest way possible. There is little that redeems the viewer to keep watching. Only one-way ticket of silly investigation to conclude this farce of a movie.

I would simply not waste any time watching this.

After several over-the-top movies with Brosnan, it was time to yank Bond out of the sky and ground him for a more realistic approach to the cat & mouse game. This Bond movie has everything. A suberb rooted plot, excellent scipt and a brilliant cast that gives us a hint of mystique and plenty of drama, thrill, suspense and politics. Almost every major character gets their ass whooped in one way or another. This time, Bond himself is no super agent opting for huge explosions and clever gadgetry (well a little but hardly any unrealistic ones). He is a human like all of us and is given no second chances to survive. He is more loped into an anti-hero role than anything. The beauty of this movie is the villain. Mikkelsen´s Le Chiffre plays a criminal where time is just as much against him as it is for Bond. He needs money to stay alive and goes for a high stake poker game to earn it to finance some nasty plans he needs to pay for. Bond must join in the game to prevent it happening. See, no super bad-guy trickery here, you will be surprised to see what Le Chiffre´s demise will be and who ends him. No Bond movie is complete with the essential Bond girl. This time, a fantastic Eva Green provides her dark looks and presence to cast a more posh counterpart for bond. No blondes this time., just a solid knockout femme fatale. So without a doubt, the best Bond movie ever made in my opinion. Beats Connery, beats Moore.. Beats them all. This is a serious, 100% spy movie for adults. "Shaken or stirred" "Does it look like i give a damn..?"

I loved the first season. I think it some of the best thing Netflix has cooked up for some time. A nerve wrecking thriller-drama that keeps you on the seat episode by episode. The Byrde family relocates to Ozark after Marty's (Bateman) accountant firm laundering mob-money goes awry. He saves his life convincing the mob that he can reclaim the money owed several time over by laundering them trough various companies in Ozark, Missouri. And of goes the Byrde family to stir a small native controlled tourist place in to something quite the opposite. There is organised chaos in every sense from that point on, but the directors and writers lays everything down in to a nice red line so well not to keep throwing you off.

The cast is terrific. Jason Bateman pretty much glides into his role like warm slippers. I think the role was perfectly cast for him. To me, he is an actor with little range normally, but fits the bill brilliantly here. Other, we find Laura Linney icast in a role we are not normally are accustomed to see her in. She plays Batemans better half that seems to enjoy going from regular housewife to laundering drug cartel money full time quite enthusiastically. But the star of the show is no doubt Julia Garner playing Ruthless Ruth. An N.Y native actress that nails the southern bad-ass gal that is spewing out commanding profanity left and right to just about anyone in that stand up to her in the show. She hits the ballpark with both behavioural and the accent moves down to the bone. An actress to absolutely watch out for.

To be honest, i had huge doubts the second season would roll off to the same heights after that somewhat closing finale. But i got to say, again, the writers have done a great job keeping it going. Season 3 is possible the best since the start, and i can´t wait for the next one.

This movie totally misfired. The casting is bad, especially Varg´s character. The subject of the matter is something that is really hard to research and put on film. The black metal community pretty much shuns any attempt when someone is trying to be document the 90´s Black Metal movement. You really need to make it gritty if one is to succeed something of this magnitude. Takes a very skilled actor to do this too. David Fincher would pull it off. If someone can make something dark and dirty it would be him. Movie was pretty intolerable for me to view. A better cast would do more justice for one.

First chapter was grounded, set a great scene and location. You felt like you were there in Derry with them. And Skarsgård scared the living out of many with his blinding performance as Pennywise.

The difference between the first and the second chapter is that Chapter Two takes a very cheap way out. Gone is the realness of decent horror-film making that seperated Chapter One from the rest because it stayed true to keeping it practical in the effects department. Use only CGI IF NEEDED.. Chapter two takes it the easy way out. By cheap i mean lazy routes. not expensive, because this WAS way more expensive to make because Chapter Two relies TOO MUCH on CGI. Skarsgård felt underused and backset in his role. And you got cheap and ineffective jump-scares that 99.9% of most horror movies fails with today.

Besides, it was two long, and felt dragged out with a mediocre ending (but that is okay because the Curry version ending sucked too)

The cast is stellar though. Hader is perfect as Richie, and he has a few fun bits too.

The first season was terrific. Frank Darabont at the helm making it a must-watch. But it really declined fast after he was booted of the show. Since season 3 The plot goes on repeat. Group of survivors arrive to a town. Gets attacked by survival madmen led by a psychopath. Our heroes kills him, moves on to the next city and repeat.. It goes on and on like this. And in all the apocalypse going on there is personal dramas and endless long boring dialogue you dont really care about. Soon it was more about these humans and the walking dead was pushed aside to backdrop characters. It is more a soap than a survival show today. It should die..

This movie took me quite by surprise. On paper the story seems thin, but it will surprise you how things turn out in this film. We have seen Jeremy Renner does great performances before, but here he is absolutely fantastic playing a wise but broken and still standing hunter who teams up with a young fresh-out-of-training FBI Agent (Olsen), to nest up and solve a murder of a young girl. Olsen also gives a highly convincing portrayal of a city-girl lost in the cold woods of the Wyoming mountains, and both Renner and Olson shows a sparkling chemistry together. Olsen being curious, Renner with a torn past. It works so well. Writing is brilliant and directing by Sheridan is also rock solid. This movie was quite a hidden gem with little publicity around it and should be one of those you should see someday.

The older you get, the more you will make sense and understand this movie

I seen this episode 3 times. Fun to watch Willem go through it. Cool stories. Hoping for Boondock Saints but.... THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT!!!

This is a well edited, well researched and finally, proper made documentary about the underground disco scene in New York City. If you have seen Maestro from 2003, this takes a more insight look in West End Records that Paradise Garage was closely associated to. The focus is on the label and Mel Cheren who ran it (and funded the Paradise Garage project)

The big difference between this documentary and Maestro is that Maestro focuses too much of the myth around the Garage, while this focuses more about the music, which the Garage was all about.

So West End is a natural choice to start with. And a better standpoint to start with. Thus you can draw strings to everything that was connected with the label.

While Maestro's biggest selling point was the live footage from the Garage, you will see even more footage and photos from inside and outside the dance floor. You will be told about what happened on the social area around the club & the tragic HIV epidemic that struck the scene with a horrible outcome.

Music that is featured here are mostly West End material, but with so many classics that they put out it is still a great selection. And Mel Cheren who died the same year this was made, gives a heartbreaking yet thrilling story about what he saw around the time. (though a more deeper insight is told in his auto-biography which this documentary is based on)

So my verdict of this is: superb. Well done. Gene Graham has done a well job on a hard task of the REAL disco scene of New York.
