Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut (2006)
I DO NOT like it! There are no FEELINGS in this version.
My heart is with the first original Superman II.
This one just doesn't flow right-just feels like a bunch of deleted scenes put together. Even the soundtrack feels different.
Okay, we see what was on the cutting room floor and I don't like it!
For example-
In this version, the inflections in Zod's voice of some of his lines are not what I came to know and love from the original. I know Terence Stamp, the actor who plays Zod would agree. His delivery in the original is very Shakespearean! It's something about this version that is "not giving." It's not Stamp's fault. In the original movie, Richard Lester took the best of Stamp's takes of his scenes and used those in the original movie. In this version, Richard Donner used the takes he took, which at that given time, Terence Stamp / Zod did not deliver that wonderful flow yet.
In the original, when diner guy hits Superman in the stomach and it sounds like a block of solid ice; this is hilarious and telling how it must feel to hit Superman! This version, no sound, no feeling, I FEEL NOTHING.... I could go on and on.
Anywho, they could have left well enough alone by not doing this version.
The Tiger Woods Story (1998)
Good Lifetime-type movie
I don't know what other reviewers are talking about? This movie is good. It's on the level of a Lifetime-type movie of its day in time. Are people comparing this to a blockbuster type movie?... because it was not that bad.
At any rate, the acting was good and moved along pretty quickly. Everyone held their own, from the kid who played Tiger to him as a 21 year old.
Now, if Nextflix, Hulu, HBOMax or AppleTv (or something like that) made this movie, in this current and age-I'm sure it would be better and probably done in an episodic format up to current day Tiger.
Obviously, watch it yourself and judge for yourself. Definitely good watch for a lazy Sunday afternoon.
That Girl Lay Lay (2021)
Repeat-it's for children
Someone said something to the effect that it's like "That's So Raven" -nope it's nothing like "That's So Raven." "That Girl Lay Lay" is original. Just because there's a black family with black kids does not make a copy of Raven's shows.
I've seen worse kids show...Side Hustle; Fred The Show; Young Dylan; Liv and Maddie for example...and a whole bunch of other bad kid shows that I can't recall their names because I've vanquished them out of my mind.
Season 2 is funnier. I'm sure they have better writers now.
I do like all of the characters.
The parents: are cool and down-to-earth parents yet corny to their daughter-that's how it usually is. They say real parent things while maintaining their intelligence. So often, writers will make parents (or the dad) stupid. These parents are talented, funny and give just enough.
Sadie: acts like a teen. She's giving zaniness and poise-she's like the 'straight man' and comic relief wrapped up into one.
Lay Lay: is the cute, sassy and fashionable friend. Although technically she is an avatar who is now in human form. Sadie wished for a helping, kind friend (something to that effect) and during a shooting star, the avatar from her positive affirmation app came out of her phone.
Marky-entrepreneurial money hungry little brother (Iol) who's always coming up with ways to make money. He's like any tv show little brother who gets in the way and bribes his sister. He's dapper, although Lay Lay doesn't think so.
I was sad when "Henry Danger" went away-no this did not replace...but they're both zainy, over-the-top stuff happenings. Kids doing thing and parents oblivious to what they're doing.
The Sea Beast (2022)
The message of the story-"Let it end!"
Symbolism....symbolism! At the end of the movie when Maisie said, "Let it end." I got it, I understood it. I teared up a bit too. All that she said and all the character representations-I got it. It's a good animation.
The "it" being racism...
As I reached the end of the movie; in retrospect, I feel that's what the script writer was conveying what this movie is about.
I feel one could analyze each character/monster as one would do a novel in literature class.
With all that being said, this is a good children's animation movie-all what I've said above was conveyed with symbolism.
Perhaps others may not see the symbolism I saw.
RRR (Rise Roar Revolt) (2022)
Truly understood the assignment of making a movie-I Love this movie!
This movie made me hold a smile on my face throughout the entire movie (except the sad parts).
The friendship, the heroics, the story, the stunts, the dancing and singing-all mesmerizing...that's what I was, I was mesmerized throughout the entire movie from beginning to end.
Thank you writers, directors, producers, actors, gaffers, editors and everyone else who had a hand in creating this movie-Bravissimo! You truly understood the assignment of making a movie.
The Neighborhood (2018)
Funny show! Everyone carries their weight.
I'm watching it on Paramount+ right now and it's funny. The writing is on point. Others are talking negatively about the laugh track-I don't see the problem. I'm accustomed to a laugh track on comedy/sitcoms...for me, that doesn't take away from the show...to each their own in that regard.
I like all of the actors on here, everyone's holding their own, right down to the kid. Presently, I'm on season 1 and I'm looking forward to continuing the series.
Seems like it would be nice to have two next door neighbor families to be this close in connection with each other-instead fighting and half heartily interacting.
A lot of truths are spoken on this show, I just think some people don't want to admit them.
Sneakerella (2022)
Good fun movie- as well as pulled my heartstrings
It was a great watch. Songs were good and so were the actors.
The teen love story was believable. I believed all the actors' delivery. The stepbrothers were good at being bad stepbrothers. They were especially funny at the end when they did their song of them being bad.
The sneaker was aight...I did like how he put a miniature cityscape in the bottom... I can see this being a custom feature where one could pick what they want to display in the bottom of one's sneaker-I digress. I even teared up when El was singing about he and his mother's relationship and what she taught him.
I like the faces I saw and the characters they played in this re-telling story of Cinderella.
Yes, it's a re-telling of Cinderella. I can't wait to see the re-telling /rendition of "Oliver" with Ice Cube as Fagin (if that's still happening).
Regarding the bad reviews- to each their own. Of course, see it for yourself and you decide.
Young Rock (2021)
Very well done
I don't know what's with all the bad reviews, but Young Rock is a good watch. All the actors are doing a great job. The Casting Director (or whomever) did a great job with finding actors who look as similar as one could look to the actual people... except Vince Mcmahon-his actor doesn't look like him, but hey you can't win 'em all. I figure all the bad reviews are people who don't like "The Rock" and/or wrestling. I like the format and enjoy seeing Dwayne Johnson's family and his childhood, et al.
Passing (2021)
Clare does not look like someone who could pass.
Clare looks black to me-being light skin is not the only thing that would allow one to pass. The blonde wig didn't make me a believer either. Should have gotten someone who looks like Rashida Jones. Plus the movie was boring. I think I would have been able to put up with the boring plot had Clare really looked like a person who could successfully pass.
The Road to El Dorado (2000)
Best repeatable lines!
Thank you Phillip LaZebnik Terry Rossio, Ted Elliott (writers) and Kevin Kline & Kenneth Branagh for the best repeatable lines! Kevin and Sir Kenneth gave this animation life-they were the best. This is one of my top favorite movie animations.
