Finch (2021)
Two Things to make it fun
I enjoyed this movie but this would have been more fun if the dog was call Hooch and the droid gave himself the name of Wilson!!
The Apple releases don't seem to come to DVD or Bluray, so people who wish to see this movie or another with Tom Hanks called 'Greyhound' was only streamed to my knowledge.
'Til Love Comes (2016)
Uuummm.... I've seen better 'B' movies than this!
You know when you can click into a few scenes of a movie and know if it's going to be worthy or not. I just jumped chapter by chapter through this movie and it was enough for me and to move on and not waste anymore time watching it. Just writing this review even gives me the feeling I've wasted too much time on it.
U.F.O. (2012)
They got paid for this....Pity PAY
I've watched a lot of movies and some not so good ones, but this one...WOW!!! Everything about this movie sucks from the script to the acting to the effects. This movie can't even be called a 'B' movie but a 'T' movie.... Trash!
Jean Claude Van Damme must have been given pity pay to attract viewers
I have to have 10 lines of text to describe this movie,,,don't think it warrants that much... it's crap
Like others have said if you value your time or just want to watch it to see how not to act or make a horrible movie then watch this one!
Some of the actors were making a real attempt I suppose but it isn't enough to make the grade.
Blue Bloods (2010)
Very Good show but ....
I was watching the show the other night and I wondered how old the Great Grandfather is in comparison to Tom Selleck since he's a Grandfather in the show? It's the only thing out of sync unless you think they all had their children in their early 20's to make it all jive....
Other than that the stories are good and characters as well!
Hopefully this show will last a while.
Always enjoyed Tom Selleck in Magnum P.I.

Decision (2012)
My 'Decision' should have been NOT to watch
Another poorly written bible thumping Christian message movie. I've seen some tasteful ones but this movie ....OH GOD!!! What were you thinking..LOL.
In a nutshell this movie was a waste of 90 minutes, but I gave it a chance and it failed. I don't want to give away the high points of bad acting, so if you're inclined to waste time then watch it.
And this movie was Dove approved which is for the birds!!!
What are the checkpoints for Dove approval I wonder?
This movie could have been better if they worked on it.
Maybe different actors could have made it better
Defying Gravity (2009)
ANOTHER!!! Good Sci-fi CUT SHORT!!!
I happen to come across this show in all places at my local library! The premise for the show caught my interest and once I began watching it I wanted to get to the next episode to see what happened. Unfortunately, I've been left hanging after episode 13 because the show was CANCELLED!!! There have been some decent sci-fi drama shows that always get cut short because the normals of society just don't get it or have enough imagination to believe in the idea of what is out there!
These days it's all about reality TV and watching people screw up or who are in a worse situation than yourself or on the off chance compete to win the prize!! But really, have our lives become so drab that we have to watch these other people succeed at something to make our lives more fulfilling? I guess I'm a dreamer and enjoy shows like this because they make me think about the possibilities. They make me forget about my daily woes and pull me into the story. That's what good TV shows do!
It's too bad these networks have lost site of that and it explains a lot of why TV has gotten as absurd as it has in the past few years!!!
It would be great if they got this show into a mini-series to finish it up.
Battle of Los Angeles (2011)
It's that BAD!!!
The New Name for SYFY is 'SUCKS!!!!' I'm not sure if this movie idea was something made before some of the bigger box office movies hit the screen or if it's Syfy's lame attempt of discouraging people to find good Science Fiction on their network, but this movie was stopped at 45min on my watch.
I'm not sure what part of this movie made me say that's enough hokey crap.... reading reviews about the movie ahead of time, the BAD CGI effects, that pilot from 1942, the Sargent who shot one out of the sky with his revolver!!! Or Nina Peeples taking out an enemy ship with a Samurai Swordafter jumping off the top of a building and not breaking her legs!!! How much worse could it get...OH WAIT...I didn't find out...LOL.
What happened to SYFY Channel (a.k.a. former name Sci-fi Channel) with it's better quality shows from former years? Management must have changed for some lame pompus fools who think REALITY TV is the way to go....NOPE!!! I hate that crap, but every network thinks it's gold. The last thing I wish to see is someone else's pathetic life or hair brained idea of good TV as Reality TV just to make myself feel better about my pathetic life.
Hollywood is at the bottom of the barrel when they can only make BAD shows like this or grab at any straw of a former TV series to make a movie. There is NO MORE originality left. Next thing will be JEOPARDY The Movie!!! made from a game show...that will be ultimate in sad! Oh...did I mention I stopped watching this movie at the 45min mark when it runs 1hr 30min because it SUCKS!!! If you make it to the end of this movie hopefully you are not drunk and decide to drive to end it all after seeing this movie.
The Ricky Gervais Show (2010)
I was EXPECTING something SO MUCH MORE!!!
I've seen Rocky Gervias in a couple of movies as well as some stand up comedy and thought this might be entertaining...... I was so sadly disappointed! It has high ratings on IMDb like 8.7 and I take the scores on here as a guide to see things as well as people's reviews. Like any box you read at the video store it always has praise and two thumbs up that is not always true.
I have only watched the 1st two episodes and it was really hard to keep my attention to see them to the end hoping for something better as it went further into it.... NOPE!
The topics are bland as well as the discussions on the topics. Ricky Gervais laughs a lot.... forced I feel. The other 2 guys babble on just thinking of things to say or be outlandish in their ideas.
This box set should not be something you have to buy, but rather just be able to download for your iPod or see on YouTube. Check it there before paying good money out.
I'm sure this would be '10' if the following happened:
1) If having trouble to sleep 2) Full belly laughter or makes sense if you were on drugs
If you truly want something funny to watch I would recommend 'Modern Family', 'Two and a Half Men' with Charlie Sheen.
To Save a Life (2009)
Great Movie although the 'GOD' factor was tastefully done
I've seen a lot of movies and this is a very good movie covering all the aspects of a tragedy. I've seen some movies that put the 'GOD' factor out there as the end all beat all way to go, but this movie has done it very tastefully and not preach the all mighty too much.
There have been lots of movies out there that take tragedies and deal with the human element and not go near the religious side of things, but this movie could have cut a couple scenes on it.
What I did like was how well the story dealt with how many children these days are faced with peer pressures and not know how to deal with them or have others out there to turn to. If all families could take the time to see this movie and make the effort for themselves as well as their children to be better people than they might all ready be.
Life is full of challenges, but we don't have to struggle through them alone if people would keep an open mind and heart to others.
In the Blink of an Eye (2009)
It's about GOD, SOUL searching and to find HAPPINESS
I have to say that this type of movie should have a GENRE attached to it for Religious content! I was expecting an action packed, suspenseful story line. Within the first 15 minutes you get the RED FLAG that outlines the entire movie.
If you truly don't care for this content then turn it off...turn it off NOW!!! It's got a touch of Groundhog Day but it's full of BAD Acting.
I've wasted 86 minutes that could have been better spent on a worthwhile movie.
If you are looking for a movie to save you....this might be it.
If you are looking for a message to save you...this might be it
If you are looking for a movie to put you to sleep... this movie is for you!
Perestroika (2009)
Not overally interesting
I picked this up because one the title caught my eye and I noticed Ally Sheedy was in it and I haven't seen her in anything since Kyle-XY.
In a nutshell it's about Sasha Greenberg, Sam Robards, who returns to Russia 17yrs after he left to reconnect with those he knew before he left due to Communism ending back in 1992.
Ally Sheedy plays his now x-wife who originally helped him escape Russia through marriage. There are many flashbacks of Sasha Greenberg of what was going on in his life in 1992 and during a get together with his friends at his birthday party the flashbacks increase and at one point I couldn't tell what was current or the past. This could be because I drifted off to a mild sleep I was so captivated and moved by the film. There are 3 women that play a role in Sasha's life and he's always torn between who he's more interested in. The one he left behind, the one he married/divorced and the one he's dating now.
Overall, there is more I could say, but feel I've spent enough time just watching it. This film didn't pull me in and get me involved in the story. It was more like going to see a play in a small theatre with some novice actor/actresses. Not overally interesting....
Fireproof (2008)
It's a nice movie but could do without the Preaching!
I haven't seen Kirk Cameron in much over the years, but his performance in this was good.
I honestly thought this movie more about something else on the side of the fire fighting and how it has effects within a relationship, but it's more the other way around focusing more on the relationship and their careers were more of the back filler.
The movie moves along well until Caleb Holt, Kirk Cameron, seeks the help of his parents as any one would during a stressful time in their life. During the conversation with his father this is when you get the full impact of what this movie is really about! I don't have a problem with anyone wanting to have something in their lives that they feel is important to have, but I do have a problem with suggestive propaganda of any sort in a movie saying their way is the way to conduct your life.
I've gone through a divorce 10years ago and my x-wife has become a Catholic, but the way she conducts herself compared to the way I do with people, I feel I follow the practices of the bible more than she does. Again, this is from my point of view and how things have developed over the years between us. She could benefit from this movie if not re-reading the bible a couple times more.
As you see with music and videos with stickers saying Explicit Lyrics Warning is should be made clear on ANY packaging that if something is being promoted within that you should be made aware of it. I had this feeling it was a Christian message when the movie started and the production company logo came up with a cross.
I still watched the movie because I wanted to see the story line. Again, it's fine movie if not for pushing the message in my face.
And yes, I have NOT opened myself up to God. I'm not for it nor am I against it. To each their own.
Traitor (2008)
A film that keeps you guessing
I never saw any trailers for this movie that I can recall but rented it on someone's comments as well as for the lead actors in the movie who I've seen in others movies and thoroughly enjoyed.
This film keeps you intrigued all the way through and waiting to find out how things will play out. There are many things the writer and director bring to the screen that have you wondering how real this could be in our current day and time. Goofs: During the end of the film they fly to Halifax, Nova Scotia to stop a ship with our bad guys on it but in the next scene you see the good guys get into a dingy and steer out to sea but in the distance is the Hamilton, ON Skyway bridge ....oops!
