Drunk Parents (2019)
0 Stars
Yep, it's as bad as everyone says - I'm thinking, come on, it can't be that bad with Selma and Alec but yep, it's just terrible. I made it 40 minutes into the movie and then the spider scene was the final straw. Just awkward and stupid. Bet these two actors would love for this movie to have never been made.
El laberinto del fauno (2006)
2nd time watching it after 11 years - Even Better!
I remember my interest in seeing this when it first came out in 2006, so I went to the big screen and saw it there and remember being blown away about how amazing this movie was. I was a bit skeptical paying for a movie that wasn't in English, and having to spend the entire time reading to understand what was happening, and while it does take away from the experience somewhat, the movie is so compelling and gripping that it does little to distract you from the incredible experience. Something triggered in my brain 11 years later that made me want to see this movie again, and I just finished watching it and now that I'm older, found that I appreciated the movie even more this time around. The mixture of fantasy, magic, war, innocence, hatred, love, and the underlying good vs. evil story really are well balanced in this film. I'd have rated it a 10, other than what I mentioned earlier about having to read the subtitles which does slightly detract from the enjoyment. I read in the trivia notes that the writer/director declined a budget of 2x to make the movie in English, so I commend him for making such an amazing film and staying true to his desire to keep it original. A great movie that if you've not seen, you are missing out.
Housebound (2014)
Part comedy, part gore, part suspense, not sure what it was.....
I watched it because it seemed like it would be a good late night suspense / horror movie. The first part of the movie drags on a bit as the character personalities are presented to us, but things kick in about 40% into the movie and then it gets pretty interesting. The dynamics / personalities of and between the characters in the movie make it an enjoyable watch. The whole time I was trying to figure out if this is supposed to be a horror movie, or a spoof on horror movies. It was certainly bizarre enough to keep me interested, and entertaining enough to keep me chuckling at times. Then towards the end, things really get strange and rather gory, but once again in somewhat of a comical way. So while I overall enjoyed the movie, I'm still a little confused on what the actual genre is.
The Art of the Steal (2013)
Loved it! Great heist flick with an awesome all-star cast
Maybe not as polished and as big budget as an Oceans film, but had a certain Guy Ritchie feel about it. I had to double-check and see if he was the Director. He wasn't, so my hat off to Jonathan Sobol for creating this great movie. Had the right mixture of fun, suspense, and action to make it a very enjoyable film. You knew most of the movie something unexpected was going to happen at the end, but I wasn't able to figure it out, so the ending was very enjoyable. Kurt Russell and Matt Dillon were great in the movie. Jason Jones who plays the Interpol agent is enjoyable to watch along side Terence Stamp. I really enjoyed this movie from start to finish.
Silicon Cowboys (2016)
I remember when......
I think you probably needed to be around during the time that this documentary is set in to fully appreciate how great this show is. If you weren't, it is still a fascinating look into the past to help the younger folks hopefully appreciate much of what they have today, and just take for granted.
I was a young adult when all of this was taking place, and had the privilege of owning one of the Compaq "portable" computers. I'll always remember a lady at the airport asking me why I was carrying my sewing machine on my trip (since most people had never seen a portable computer at the time) she had no idea it was actually a computer.
I couldn't stop watching this show, as it took me back down memory lane and made me remember how much fun those golden days were of getting a PC that had a 'turbo' button on them. Great job on this documentary. Well worth the time to watch it!
Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates (2016)
Awful Movie
I thought the concept might be good. Seemed like a good enough cast to make it funny, but this movie was just a waste of time. Looks like it was written by a 12 year old that had nothing better to do one weekend. Awkward moments in the movie that tried to be funny but just weren't. I saw this for free on an airplane so at least I didn't pay, and I'm sure some of the movie was edited for content so I can only imagine how much worse the full/unedited version might be. Even though I watched the movie for free, it still wasn't worth the price of admission.
