American Badger (2021)
Where do I begin
My heart goes out to the main male character who did all the fight choreography himself and for the dog, who said nothing and was just basically cool in all the scenes it was in. Bravo for the fight scenes, the one outstanding thing about this movie. (even if they got tedious towards the end, and left me thinking, ok...ok, just kill the last guy and be done with it, but there was always another last guy)
Unfortunately, the rest of the story is filled with 60% smoking cigarettes, 10% fight scenes and the remainder filled with a very weak story and weak dialogue. No sex scenes or T & A, which would have greatly improved the desire to watch this.
Spoiler Below.................................................
A better ending would have been if he kept the dog, she took the money and then at the last minute, he produced a remote switch and blew up the car, with her in it and logged on the the computer to notify the controller that the mission was complete.
Army of the Dead (2021)
Very Predictable
If you are in the mood for a movie where you can pretty much guess the ending after watching the 1st 30 minutes, then this movie is for you. The action and special effects were good, but the story was pretty flat. It was an action movie for the sake of an action movie, but thats as far as it got. Sadly it was not very engaging and I got the feeling of watching a movie, instead of actually being in the action with the characters; which is the true mark of a good story. Most of the character's were convincing, but Ella Purnell's character did not quite belong there. She's cute and all, but did not pull off being tough very well, more annoying is a better word for it. I guess watching this is OK if there's nothing else on your radar.
Eat Wheaties! (2020)
A story of triumph just when we need it
I have been watching Tony Hale in the best comedy series ever written, "Arrested Development" and expected nearly the same character in this movie. I was presently surprised when I found him acting the part of someone that I can relate to. Someone real!
We all have that friend that tries too hard, wants people to notice them and goes out of their way just to have any kind of "win" in their lives. We all need a win, especially now, when we have all been beaten down by so much that is going on in the world.
The movie takes us on a special kind of journey; of the innocence of some people that just want to be remembered and reminds us of the loneliness that is so easily put upon us by others, sometimes because of the need that drives us to feel human and not forgotten.
I won't give away the ending or drop any spoilers in this review, but I will recommend you watch the movie. The 8 stars I gave it are for the culmination of the story, richness of the characters,their performance, and the way it made me feel to be along on the journey. That is why we watch, right? I hope you enjoy the movie, as I did.
Mugen no jûnin (2017)
My brief suggestion
This is one of the most awesome movies I have ever seen, and I have sen a lot of em. I have a simple suggestion...watch the trailer. if that does not get you, nothing will. And this is NOT one of those movies where every bit of action is stuffed into the trailer, only to leave you thinking"that was it" at the conclusion of the movie.. It's worth every second and the trailer has become my most watched trailer, ever. Enjoy...
The Last Man on Earth (2015)
Awesome Show
OK. So maybe the show is not for everyone, but it is for ME and a bunch of my friends. Parts of it are like a train wreck waiting to happen, and that is what makes it likable. I just have to see what will happen next. Phil is greedy, and self centered, just like many of us. Everyone is greedy and everyone looks out for number 1. Phil just does it openly and obviously. He's not good at faking it and is socially awkward; another reason to like him. The rest of the cast and crew are the protagonists, and are very good at hiding their selfishness. Todd, plays a best friend that we all want. He's not as selfish as the rest, and good things just sort of happen to him because of it. I'm looking forward to seeing the show go on as long as it can.
