Airplane vs. Volcano (2014)
Its an Asylum.
Noted for their off the wall, bizarre stories, Asylum movies almost always are entertaining. This one was probably the dumbest one I've seen yet, still... they manage to pull you in and keep you stuck to your seat.
Fortress (2012)
One of the better ones.
If you like war movies in the sky, this is one you don't want to miss. Plot and acting top shelf. Pulls you in right from the start and doesn't let up. Some say some equipment not right but it's a movie. Forget the nit-picking and watch a great flic.
American Justice (2015)
Cool, amusing and exciting.
Say what you will. Same old same old. Yet it was fun and entertaining. I found the acting quite good from everyone.
American Violence (2017)
Incredible flic.
If you're watching with a friend that loves to talk during a movie you'll probably hate this. Very, VERY,a deep movie. Requires close attention. Some think there were all kinds of plot twists but... there were none. If you followed closely you'd see that. If you drifted off during it, well, yeah, you'd think there were. Those with a short attention span will never get this movie. But a very enthralling show. IF you pay attention.
Crackerjack (1994)
Entertaining. Kind of.
Yes the plot has been done over and over again. But the plot works. Lethal weapon it is not but they tried!. Certainly not a mind blowing action masterpiece but it's a pleasant way to pass the time.
The Real McCoy (1993)
Some are quick to judge
Most have been missing the back story. Not just a "crime" flick. It's about life and how it can sometimes be screwed up. But also, some have been missing a point. There was no trans am in this movie. Trans am has the bird on the hood. The fire bird, oddly enough, does not. Never could figure out the reasoning why GM made that decision. But, all in all... enjoyable movie.
Pathfinders: In the Company of Strangers (2011)
Hard to watch but...
Fascinating story line. Once you get past a few "authenticity" mistakes it's an interesting flick. Acting isn't perfect, but not that bad either. Some are throwing the whole movie to the wolves because of lighting, camera work etc. But still, the story is strong. I wasn't a fan of close ups so close you could tell if the actors had any excess ear wax but all in all, enjoyable show.
By Light of Desert Night (2019)
A+ for a B movie.
Twist after twist. For no name female actresses... they will go far. Superb acting. Better than most of the pros out there. The beginning is certainly like a million other flics of this type. Just doesn't stay there. So if it looks like it will be boring... hang on to your seats.
Brothers War (2009)
No. It is NOT a war movie. Just an excellent movie with war scenes.
STOP! This is a movie. An excellent movie. But it is not really a war movie. Forget the they didn't do this. They didn't have that. It is about the human side of war. If you are still watching a war movie... Stop. You're missing the point. Go back and watch a brilliantly done story about humans trying to survive a war. This is a story about humanity among people of all nationalities.
Elvis Lives! (2016)
Long live the king.
Quite a mix of comedy, drama, fact, fiction. Dumb, brilliant and everything in between.. Was it possible? Was it impossible? Little bit of everything but quite enjoyable. The king is dead, but long live the king! Asylum movies may be bizarre,.but they certainly are entertaining.
Apocalypse Pompeii (2014)
The asylum
It's an asylum movie so you can't expect that much. However, if you overlook the mistakes and just focus on the theme it can be a fun movie. As most of their films are.
Galaxy (1986)
Prepare to be entertained.
Fascinating. And brilliantly funny, IF you have a decent sense of humor and can see the double entendre's and innuendo. Acting is quite good for a simple film as well. Thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end. Yes you have to take quite a bit with a grain of salt but on the other hand, the older classic treasures wouldn't live without said salt. So grab a salt shaker, sit back, relax and prepare to be entertained.
Encounter (2018)
No it is not a bad movie
It's a brilliant show. The acting was also quite brilliant. One gets tired of those picking things apart over actually watching the movie. Don't get lost in something you may think is wrong. Just watch and enjoy. What you may think is wrong may just end up explaining itself.
Anna (2019)
Nitpicking can ruin your enjoyment.
Good action movie. But honestly I get tired of folks screaming about facts. They didn't use this then. They didn't have that then. So what? Guys, it's a movie, not a documentary. Sit back and enjoy. If you nit pick at everything, stop watching movies and go for documentaries. Is it perfect? What is? You only ruin it for yourself and I think this one was quite enjoyable.
Le violon rouge (1998)
Read a movie?
Looks like it would be a fascinating tale if one didn't have to read it. I never understood why subtitles were inserted to make them more "authentic". It's a film. Pretty sure everyone knows it's not authentic, just harder to follow.
If I Tell You I Have to Kill You (2015)
What is it?
Drama? Religtioius? Sci fi? Horror?
The only way to find out is to watch it. But I have to say, really watch it. Very deep. If you take your eyes off of it for just a few seconds you may be lost. In the end it's extremely simple. Yet getting there is extremely complicated.
Star Trek: Discovery (2017)
What just happened?
What exactly just happened? I think I just watched star wars with a new name. I guess if you weren't around for the original star trek you may like something like this disaster. But that would mean you, like the producers and directors, weren't. The whole concept of star trek is lost on them. And the klingons? Did they have to resort to subtitles? I'm really not fond of reading a movie. That's what they make books for. Actually I'm not really a fan of CGI either. Not to mention "continued next week" kind of soap operas. And if you watched the second show... yeah. It's "continued next week".
Jackie (2016)
What just happened?
For those of us who lived through that horrible time... what a waste. Jackie wasn't even slightly believable. But I suppose most of the cast and crew weren't around to live it either. Understood that she was under an immense amount of stress. However she had an astounding amount of class and the acting just didn't show it.
Swept Under (2015)
Enthralling
Fascinating story, interesting plot twists. Not to mention incredibly brilliant acting. More or less a dark comedy that turns darker. I stumbled across this one by accident and seemed it may prove interesting. Well, it was much more than that. A real pleasure to watch actors actually acting. They make it look easy.
Hardcore Henry (2015)
Fail
Sorry but I couldn't handle a shaky camera since hill street blues. This likely could have been an entertaining flic. The plot was certainly interesting
But some idiot thinks it's more realistic to have the camera shake. More realism. Well, no.
If I was there I'd have eyes. My eyes don't shake like a camera. Really hard to watch.
And yes, I am a gamer. Don't ever remember any game with graphics as bad as this. And this isn't graphics. It's film. If I want to get dizzy I'll head for a bar or a carnival. At least they would be entertaining.
