Castle: Linchpin (2012)
Overall pretty good but...
I can't believe how unbelievably stupid Castle and Beckett are, but especially Beckett, during this episode: knowing they are on the run and being chased yet forcing both of the men to just sit there and explain themselves until they run out of time and either get killed, captured, or both. She is responsible for both of their deaths yet she just flounces on with impunity and a total lack of regret. If I was the writer I'd be embarrassed to write such tripe. And if I was Beckett I'd demand that they write scenes that make me look like an intelligent, competent detective, not a total moron. I found myself distracted by the stupidity. One more thing-why do they have her wearing those ridiculous heals and super tight pants all the time? She is supposed to be a detective lol, not a co-ed looking for a date.
Castle: Close Encounters of the Murderous Kind (2010)
Lyle Lovett Rocks!
What a delightful treat to see Lyle Lovett in this episode. He adds to everything that he does, and definitely added to this episode. The episode was well written and interesting, and would have been good enough without him, but it is definitely better with him in it. It would have been nice to have had the aliens be real, however. That would have added even more fun to the show. Just because Beckett is a " logical" detective doesn't mean she can't follow the facts when they lead in an "otherworldly" direction. It appeared that was where things were leading, until everything took a sharp left turn and became an espionage theme. Still interesting episode overall, though.
Men in Black: International (2019)
I liked it
I was wanting to be entertained and I was entertained. It did what it was supposed to do. I wouldn't mind seeing sequels but I guess that won't be happening since it didn't do well at the box office, and it's been 5 years since the movie was made. The movie was supposed to be fun, not an expose' on man's search for meaning in the universe. Some people are too nit-picky and tear apart every little thing instead of just allowing themselves to be entertained. The actors delivered and didn't seem like they were "phoning it in" or just in it for a paycheck to me. Considering it had big shoes to fill with Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith they did an excellent job overall.
Spy (2015)
Fun and Entertaining Romp
Fast paced, witty, smart and downright hilarious. All of the actors looked like then were genuinely having fun and did and excellent job. I love spy movies with all of the fun gadgets and this one didn't disappoint, plus it had the added benefit of being hilarious to boot. The exotic locations were beautiful as well. I don't understand the negative reviews. People watch a comedic spoof of a spy movie, then are disappointed when it's just that. It's ridiculous and unfair to give a negative review for unrealistic expectations. I could watch this movie again and again, and I hope they make sequels.
Purple Hearts (1984)
Excellent and Timeless Movie
I've seen this movie several times and will watch it again soon. I'm glad to see the other positive reviews on here and felt compelled to add my own. It is way too good for that! This movie shows the brutality of war but doesn't vilify our brave soldiers in the process. The romance part is believable and not overdone. There are even a few laughs. Yes there is some cussing. They're soldiers, not Boy Scouts. It is an excellent movie worth watching time and again.
Snowcapped Christmas (2016)
Cute Movie with beautiful scenery
My boyfriend and I enjoy watching Hallmark movies and we both enjoyed this one. It was light and enjoyable with beautiful mountain scenes. The warm indoor lighting and beautifully decorated Christmas trees give such a feeling of home as well. Overall good acting and an enjoyable film.
The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019)
Very Sweet and Thoroughly Enjoyable
I can't stop thinking about this movie since I saw it last week. It was just so well done in every way. Shia was Oscar worthy. I don't even want to call it a "performance" because he seemed so natural, like he really is that nice and cool in real life. Zack and Dakota did amazing jobs as well. In fact, it seemed like these 3 could really be friends in real life. I only wish that the ending went on a bit longer. I would have liked to have seen them in their new life together. Hopefully they will make a sequel...
The Art of Racing in the Rain (2019)
Moving Film About Racing and Humanity
Yes, pun intended: A moving film about racing and humanity. I definitely intend to watch it more than once. It is so heartwarming but not overdone. The actors all do an amazing job. Their humanness and vulnerability are so well portrayed, including Enzo's. He will definitely be an amazing human in his next life. But I have to say, Kevin Costner's voice is still in my head. I can't imagine anyone else as Enzo. It makes me want to go on a Kevin Costner bender just to hear him talking in other roles.😁
The Secret Life of Pets 2 (2019)
Super Cute Sequel
This was a thoroughly enjoyable and well done sequel. I highly recommend it. Full of laughs and good times.
Men in Black II (2002)
Fun and Entertaining
I made the mistake of reading bad reviews before seeing this movie and allowed them to influence my opinion of it. Plus, I didn't like the trailer-it didn't inspire me to see the movie at all. But I went to see it because my friend really wanted to see it. I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised. The acting was excellent. The female lead character is very likable, not at all what I expected after seeing the trailer, where in that she appears snotty and arrogant. Not so in the real movie. I really liked her and I hope her and Chris make many more sequels together. They have great, friendly chemistry. Very believable. The CGI was well done and the little alien Pawney was hilarious. Overall a very fun and entertaining movie.
Sensitive: The Untold Story (2015)
Excellent Documentary
This was an insightful explanation of why those who are highly sensitive may feel and act differently. It was very helpful. I hope to see more documentaries on this subject from these producers.
Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)
Unforgettable and Amazing
This was one of the most entertaining and moving films I've seen in a very long time. It does give the viewer a glimpse of Freddy's confused and lonely life. Your heart actually aches for him. Rami Malek's performance is Oscar worthy. I left the theatre with tears of joy over the climatic ending but mixed with tears of sadness over Freddy's ultimate fate, and still catch myself thinking about the movie to this day. Can't wait to see it again!
Cosmic Disclosure (2015)
Dryly delivered but informative
I don't understand all of the haters. Corey Goode is saying many things that others have said. With all of the soft disclosures coming out now in droves it makes sense that humans are indeed headed for a great awakening. Quite interesting information that I believe to be true. When Corey is retrieving information he looks up and out as if visualizing the scene in front of him. The creative center of the brain is on the right side. In my opinion, if he was making things up we'd see him look up and toward the right more, seeking to create from his imagination.
