Toy Story 3 (2010)
still warms my heart.
this movie still hits deep into our emotions. and it really shows how shallow our culture and society has become to some extent. the love of our childhood given to these objects, how easily we can dismiss and replace them and change with little thought. i still remember many of my fav toys from my days. and still have some, granted in a box in garage. but they can so easily bring back wonder memories. sure there are billions of Barbies out there, but it is not the one you had.
the end scene, still brings a tear to my eye. i've done once, pass on something of emotional value to a younger generation. one can only hope the gift is continued in some way.
of course the dump scene, showing how strong friendship can be. truly story telling at it's best.
Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)
complete waste of time
i was bored the entire time, all 2.5 hours. plot made little to no sense, dialog was silly, acting horrible, camera work pathetic, and simply could barely follow any of the action. and the final battle kept going on and on and on.
i was not expecting much going in, and i was still disappointed.
trying to follow who was who, what robots were what, how you could jump from inner city to suddenly rural farm fields and mountains, and what was the story line trying to say.... well it all gave me a head ache after a while.
nothing of any real value here. if you saw the first movie, you have seen this already.
Ender's Game (2013)
Good Try, but falls short
i was surprised it took this long to make the short story & book into a movie. in a way i am glad it did. just certain visuals, like of course the battle room scenes, would have been very hard to do without some of the more modern green screens and CGIs.
however, this really fell short. i was looking fwd to seeing this movie, but got disappointed watching some of the later previews, and of course the movie.
while i would have liked to have seen more of the battle room scenes, just the action of it. but this story is an emotional growth thru that room, and we lost out on that. Ender's triumphs in the room thru different tactics. his development with his 'toon and the others. all of that was truly lost in this movie. early on i wanted H.Ford to stop calling him Ender and instead call him Neo. there was no real character development or growth.
and the ending was just horrible.
The Casino Job (2009)
bad soft core porn
this is nothing more than a bad attempt at bad soft core porn. i surprise myself by saying 'showgirls' was more intellectually stimulating.
flipping thru the Redbox i came across this. OK for a buck i'll watch it. unfortunately i didn't for 2 more days, why did i waste my money!!! the acting was bad, the script was bad, story was bad (if not formulaic, chick version of ocean 11 at worst... maybe "summer's eve 11"), .... in short everything was bad. only thing worth watching this is the nudity from all the boingaliciouis babes! got to admit, know a few girls who are very much like the character "paradise" (the lovely playmate irina).
