Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
A great sequel to a classic
I was in High School when I saw Blade Runner 2049 and I loved seeing the return of Harrison Ford character of Deckard and seeing a new story with Ryan Gosling character of K. This had me guessing who could be the kid and how it connects to Deckard and Rachael. I love the score done by Hans Zimmer and it reminded of the original movie. This movie is also my favorite movie I saw on the Big Screen in 2017 and I loved the cinematic style from the director and I had an amazing time seeing it on the Big screen and I wish that last year for the 40th anniversary of Blade Runner (1982) they released both of these on the big screen in IMAX.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)
I have been waiting for this all my life
In 2008 I was 7 years old and I went saw Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and enjoyed the action adventure and seeing Indiana Jones on the big screen for the first time. I thought we would get the next adventure in two years but I kept waiting and then on July 1st I went with my family to see it in IMAX and I had a grin on my face during the action sequences and enjoyed it and almost cried when I saw Salah and Marion back on the big screen since Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) and The Last Crusade (1989). John Williams score was Fantastic. James Mangold directed a masterpiece of this year. Harrison Ford was great back in the role of my favorite character I grew up on. I enjoyed all of the other characters and I think they had a great time working on it and had fun. If adventure had a name it must be Indiana Jones.
No Time to Die (2021)
An End of a Era
To me No Time To Die is a great movie of the James Bond series I enjoyed all of the action sequences including the DB5 chase in Italy, The Cuba gunfight and The Villains base references to The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), Moonraker (1979) and the novel You Only Live Twice. It was also hard for me as a fan to say goodbye to the James Bond I grew up on and the first one I saw on the big screen with Skyfall (2012) and I enjoyed the ending it was pure Ian Fleming if he wrote it as a book. I also loved the real stunt work and not a heavy use of CGI in the film. I loved the story and ended with Bond sacrificing for Queen and country.
In the Heat of the Night: ...And Then You Die (1988)
A great way to end a season
This episode is a favorite episode of mine because it has a manhunt, Hostage, and personal story. This episode is also an early episode in the career of Mariska Hargitay who is know as Detective, Sergeant, Lieutenant, and Captain Olivia Benson on NBC Law and Order SVU (1999-), Law and Order (1990-), Chicago Fire (2012-) Chicago PD (2014-). Althea is taken hostage and then it gets personal for Virgil and the Chief has to help and the case does get personal and also show what Virgil and Althea would become parents later in the series run. This episode is the last to be shot down in Louisiana and then they would film in Covington Georgia which was used in the first five episodes of The Dukes of Hazzard (1979-1985)
NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service: Too Many Cooks (2023)
The Crossover Event I have been waiting for since 2014
I have been waiting for this crossover event since after NCIS New Orleans(2014-2021) came on the air and I thought we would get all three teams together. Now we got to them together and some of each team meeting other members and in this event and this was originally going to air on January 2nd after the new year. I also enjoyed the mentioning of Gibbs rules and it's been long since after rule 91 and the first 4 episodes of season 19. I enjoyed the premise of a rogue CIA Program being used to kill Frienlies and not just are Enemies. I enjoyed this with the Law and Order Crossover event started.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)
Ghostbusters are Back
This one of my favorite movies of 2021 and I enjoyed that it continues after Ghostbusters 2 (1989) and I also love seeing the original actors back in action. The special effects used in this film where taken from Ghostbusters (1984) and I love that this honors Harold Ramis who passed away. I love the score being influenced by both Ghostbusters (1984) and Ghostbusters 2 (1989). I enjoy the cast from both the new characters and seeing the original characters like Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Winston Zeddemore, and Egon Spengler. I'm excited for a sequel and possible trilogy of Ghostbusters movies.
Bullitt (1968)
A Great Cop Movie and a Classic movie
This is one of my favorite movies of all time and has one of great car chases and classic cars a Ford Mustang and Dodge Charger and stars one of the greatest actors of all time Steve McQueen. It's one of the first time a car chase through the streets of San Francisco. The Music is also great and the theme would be used again in Blue Bloods episode titled The Bullitt Mustang and the composer Lalo Schrifen would work on the Dirty Harry movies. I enjoy the setting in San Francisco it shows how the city looked like back in the sixty's and to me this was before Dirty Harry (1971). This is a classic.
Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
I feel the Need the Need For Speed
This is a great blockbuster and a great sequel to Top Gun (1986) I love the way this honored the original film and the original Director Tony Scott and I loved the action and seeing the actors actually flying the real planes and I loved hearing some of the lines like talk to me Goose and hearing it from Roster saying talk to me dad and then flooring it and I also loved seeing the relationship between Maverick and Gooses son.
Being James Bond (2021)
This is the James Bond I Grew Up On
This is one of my favorite Documentaries on the James Bond series and I love it and I love showing some the behind the scenes of all of Daniel Craig films as James Bond and I love this also as an way to show Daniel Craig final chapter as James Bond before No Time To Die (2021)
Hard Time: Hostage Hotel (1999)
Burt Reynolds Die Hard
This film is basically Burt Reynolds Die Hard movie and a great action TV movie and has a great final movie with both The Bandit and the director of Smokey and the Bandit and the reason I say it's his Die Hard film is because Burt Reynolds was one of the other actors to play John Mcclane in Die Hard (1988)
Die Hard (1988)
The greatest action movie of the 80s
This is one of my favorite action movies of the 80s and that began a franchise and has a great action and also this movie is based on a book and I hope we get the origin story on John Mcclane.
