Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (1974)
The Dialog is so bad.....It drops your IQ 100 points
The Dialog of this movie is so Bad.....It will drop your IQ 100 points if you watch it.........!!
The best line on the movie is the Helicopter Pilot's.........
when the Sheriff asked him "Why didn't you Fill Up the Chopper..?"
He says ..."You told me to drop everything and come immediately!"
Perhaps it should be watched with the Sound Off as a Protection of Yourself.
I gave it 2 stars for the sexy Susan George; but she is wasted in this film.
The film would be better if she got involved with both of the guys at different times in the action......But no...we don't even get that.....!
Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)
LET'S FACE IT - PHOEBE CATES IS THE STAR OF THIS MOVIE
Let's Face it - Phoebe Cates is the Star of this Movie!
Everybody else is just wallpaper!
Although Mr. Hand is great and so is Jennifer Jason Leigh.
Phoebe Cates is Incredibly Beautiful and her scenes make the Movie.
Especially the Swimming Pool Scenes!
12 Monkeys (1995)
Great Science Fiction...Maybe happening now with the Chinese
Bruce Willis is sent back in time to find the cure for the Plague.
Madeline Stowe is a Psychologist who interacts with him.
Brad Pitt is the Crazy leader of a gang
who sets off the Plague from his father's lab......
1917 (2019)
Hate to spoil a Good Movie........But......
I hate to spoil a good movie........But why not just drop coded messages from some planes.....
That way you don't have to use runners......!!??
I actually haven't seen it yet...so I will update the review later.......
However the above was my first thought on seeing rushes of the movie......
The Allies had lots of planes by 1917......!!
'Northwest Passage' (Book I -- Rogers' Rangers) (1940)
Rodger's Rangers
Back in the Day........
on the Frontier.......when there were no roads....only trails; if you were lucky,
the mounting of military operations was fraught with danger and lack of food.
The closest modern comparison would be with Merrill's Marauders in the Burma campaigns against the Japanese.......
The movie deserves higher than a 10........
although it seems weird now to see Spencer Tracey in a military action film instead of a film noir.....!!
Nixon (1995)
Why do the Brits always like to portray Americans in trouble....??
First there was Frost; a Britisher, interviewing Nixon........
The there was Hopkins attempting to portray Nixon......!!??
I recommend the British interview the people who knew and Portray Neville Chamberlain.......
a Liberal British Politician who supposedly got a "Peace In Our time Agreement" with Adolf Hitler......!!
Let Anthony Hopkins play Neville Chamberlain....if he's so good.....!!??
I never watch these movies because I was a Nixon Supporter and Voted for him twice.......
and I have Never Believed he order the Break-in......!!
G. Liddy said somebody else in the WH ordered it...so they could recover a file of call-girls the Dems used......in the NDC's Desk.......
because he was going to marry one of them and wanted to bury the evidence of her being a call-girl....... That's what I believe.....!!
Frost/Nixon (2008)
Nixon Got the US out of Vietnam and our POWs back
Nixon got the US out of Johnson's Vietnam War and got 2/3rds of our POW/MIAs back out of North Vietnam.
That covers a Lot of Sins...........!!
Nixon should never have been Impeached as he was an effective President.
The Frost interview was years later; when Nixon needed some money.......
so; essentially, he was paid to say whatever Frost wanted.
If Frost wanted to do a good interview........
he should interview the people who knew Neville Chamberlain......the LIberal who negotiated "Peace In Our time" with Adolf Hitler....before Adolf started World War II.....!!??
Langella was MIss-cast in this Movie and Sheen has done nothing else worthwhile since......
Casualties of War (1989)
Made in the Genre of Knocking Vietnam Veterans
Another movie which should not have been made..........
A fictional account of a situation that Never Happened.......
so that one could claim Vietnam Veterans were crazy or otherwise maladjusted.......or did reprehensible things in the war.......!?
Forrest Gump (1994)
What was the Actual Purpose of the Movie.!?
Evidently part of the mileau of making Fun or Critisizing Vietnam Veterans as "Baby Killers".....!!
Forrest Gump is a Vietnam Veteran of Low IQ...!!
Are they trying to say All Vietnam Veterans were....??
Uses the Usual Cliches about the war; so provides nothing new.
One might as well make a movie Critical of the Korean War.....!!??
The movie should rate Less than one star;
but gets credit for Gary Sinese and his Lt. Dan Band who entertains the troops in the current war zones and flys veterans kids to Disney World.
The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)
A Remake that Should Not have been made
I actually like Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly; But this is another Poor Choice for a movie by Keanu Reeves.
There is probably no way for anybody to do better than Michael Rennie in the Original; so Why Make the Attempt.....!!??
Even with the Other-Wordly Quality of Keanu Reeves and the Cuteness and Beauty of Jennifer Connelly; This is a waste of Time.....!!
47 Ronin (2013)
Why make another movie about a story everybody already knows by heart....!!??
I like Keanu Reeves, actually. But sometimes he makes a poor choice in movies to make.
This is one of them...
The Movie adds Nothing to the Legend; so one is left with the idea....Why was this movie made??;.......except as a Paycheck for the actors
and to keep your employees busy......!?
If you know the story.....the movie is a waste of time.......and Life is short enough without losing two Hours.....!!
Cast Away (2000)
Boring Movie
A Boring movie created; I imagine, because Hanks and other people Needed a Paycheck at the time.
A man's plane crashes into the Pacific. He washes up on an island and is marooned there.
He paints a soccer ball; he found in a Spaulding box; with a Face so he will have something to talk to.......
But I think this part is ridiculous and wouldn't have been done in real life. a person would more likely have found some way to play ball with the ball......like Steve McQueen in the cooler with the baseball in the great escape.
Joe Versus the Volcano is a much better film. This one is a waste of time.
Boom (1968)
A Waste of Time
According to wiki; this script Failed Twice as a Play........!?
Then somebody decided that that was a Good Idea to make into a Movie......??
Bad Idea........!!
Nobody liked the movie at the time......
so Finally the Depressing thing was sent to Vietnam to show to the troops.......!!
The last thing anybody needed to see was a Depressing movie of Nothing but Talk, Talk, Talk,,,,,,!!??
Most GIs kept waiting for Burton to really nail Taylor in the Bedroom.......
But at the end of the movie.....Taylor gives an hour long speech to Burton on the Balcony....then goes into the Bedroom......you think you are going to get Lucky....Bur then Burton gives an hour long monologue to himself on the Balcony....
Finally he goes into the Bedroom and you think you are going to see some great action between them.......
But Burton finds out that she has Died meanwhile in the Bed......!?
The only reason for troops to suffer thru this at the time....was because the small movie theater was the only air-conditioned room on the Base....!!
Makes you wish the movie would have been captured by the North Vietnamese Regulars.....!!
The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002)
Innovative Sci-Fi of the Future
I liked this movie; when I saw it free on TV.
A movie is supposed to be entertaining and this one was.!
Reportedly made for $100 million...but only grossed something like $8 Million...!?
But if Murphy managed to get $90 million of it....it was a success in his book; HA!
Famous for the scene where mobsters try to buy Murphy's club on the moon with $10 million Dollars with Hillary on the Bills as a President....and there is a scene with a Self-Driving car driving past a Donald Trump realty Billboard....."If you lived here; you'd be Home Now"!
Shows the use of Robots in the Future....who wouldn't like a Robot Bodyguard.....!!
Also; somewhat predicting the future as many countries are now racding back to the moon.......Russia, China, the US, and others.....
All planning to build bases of some form or other....!!
Class of Nuke 'Em High (1986)
Best Line in Any Movie Ever.....!!
After the Virginal Girl and Boy smoke the Radiated Cigarette;
she disappears upstairs.....
He goes upstairs to find her......
She says "I want Your Joint....!!"
He says "I Don't Have It Anymore....I threw It Away.......!!"
Then she says the Best Line in Any Move Ever.......
"Not That Joint.......The One In Your Pants......!!"
A Campy Funny Movie with over the top characters.......
It gets a 10 Just for That Line.......!!
Alien from L.A. (1988)
Gaah.......!!!!
Proof that one can't just take a Beautiful woman and put her into any old movie and expect it to be a success......!!
Another Movie to avoid....!! I only watched it all the way thru for the Beautiful and Cute Kathy Ireland.........But I really regretted it.
Closer (2004)
Natalie Portman is Gorgeous
Natalie Portman is Gorgeous as the Stripper.......
and her "nude" scenes should have been left in the picture......
Why shoot something if you are not going to use it......!!??
Otherwise the picture is a waste of time......!!
Election (1999)
You Got It All Wrong
Actually Tracey is the Victim here......!!
Without a Father ; she tries everything to get ahead......!
She works closely with the teachers who can help her succeed.....
Her previous Teacher then groomed her to be his underage sex partner.......
which she did to get his help to get ahead........
Then she runs for Election.....!!
Matthew Broderick; supposedly a great teacher, we see has a trunk full
of underage girlie videos in his basement.
The other teacher tells him how Tracey was "available".
Tracey knows that if she gets elected she'll be working closely with Broderick
probably after school and she will offer herself to him to get his help to get
ahead......!!
Broderick realizes he won't be able to resist taking Tracey to bed ; if she wins
the election, so he sabotages the vote; because he won't be able to stop himself
from bedding her; if she wins......!?
The result is that Broderick has to be fired for sabotaging the election.....but actually because he can't control himself from possible taking advantage of the underage girl........!!
He ends up working in New York.
Tracey; meanwhile is still trying to get ahead; the only way she knows how , from the high school teachers, by making herself available as an aid to congressman.
Broderick throwing the drink at her car; is merely acting up because he knows he might have bedded her if she had won the election and he hadn't been fired yet.
He also demonstrates unfaithfulness to his wife and former teacher friend; by making love to the guy's former wife.......
So it is Broderick who is actually the bad guy in the movie......!!
Sheena (1984)
A Great Movie
I go against the Grain here..........
Because people see only what they want to see.
Sheena; a Protector of her People, fights against an exploitive Dictator and puts her life on the line to defeat him.
A Courageous Film showing women can Fight for what's right the same as a man.
Tanya Roberts Acting is Excellent in the Role and makes the myth of the story believable.
I especially like the Music Theme and Tanya riding the 'Zebra' to it.
Tanya Roberts should have been given more movies and acting roles...!!
No Country for Old Men (2007)
I Wonder Where the Last Man Standing Is.....!?
A Great Movie. Actually a 10......!
But I give it a 9 because I feel that the character played by Josh Brolin should have survived......!!
It would have made some Great kind of 2nd movie.....somehow......!!
The Sheriff is somewhat of a disappointment as they don't catch anybody; but merely pick up bodies.....!!
Josh shoots a Bighorn; but it doesn't go down right away.....so he has to track it....!
He finds the blood trail of a wounded dog and backtracks that to where there was a gigantic shootout between drug gangs
for some reason........Most guys are dead.....
Then he goes to track the last man standing........and finds him.......
Brolin is the kind of Outdoorsman you would like to meet or talk to....!!
Bad Times at the El Royale (2018)
Fictionalized account of Charley Manson
Twelve-Thirty.......
Young Girls Are Coming to the Canyon;
And In The Morning I can See Them Walking......
And There Charley Manson is there to Welcome Them
And Mold them into his Family
Emily......I've got to get you away from Charley; Rose, and DeProgram You......!!
Rose.......But, I Love Him.....!!
Emily......Manson is All Kinds of Bad.......!!
Called on the Phone by Rose.....Charley walks into the El Royale Motel; to the Tune of "Young Girls Are Coming to the Canyon"
His Followers put Knives to the throats of all the Guests and Tie Them Up........
He proceeds to start to waste them; starting with Emily for stealing Rose away from him......!!
Shows what happens when you let a Cult mess with your mind......
Saving Private Ryan (1998)
An Excellent Depiction of the D-Day Landing for the Troops
An Excellent Depiction of the D-Day Landing for the Troops.
However; later there is an anomaly in the logic........
The Captain's orders are to retrieve Private Ryan and return him to the rear; in order to save his life, as all his other brothers have been killed in Combat.
This the Captain achieves; but it is more a matter of luck as Ryan survives on his own....!!
When the Captain takes his Squad on the Mission; and they come across a German Radar installation; he insists on attacking it, instead of going around it.as some of his men suggest.
Attacking it is inconsistent with his orders to retrieve Private Ryan.
In so doing the Captain loses one of his men; and could have lost more.
Later; when he finds Private Ryan; he allows the Private to insist they stay and defend the town from a German attack.
This is also inconsistent with his orders.
If he had survived the attack and Private Ryan had been killed; then the Captain would have been Court Martialed for a Failure to Obey Orders....!!
La fidélité (2000)
Clelia Makes Out
I watched this only for the Beautiful and Cute Sophie Marceau after stumbling on the movie online. She acts Excellently in the movie; I think.
I wonder about the name Clelia....?? Is this a European or French name....?? I keep wanting to call her Celia throughout...!? Anyway Clelia is Loyal to her husband throughout despite being attracted to a young photographer. In the end she is Fired from the magazine and her husband kicks her out based on his suspicions of infidelity.
However; in the time frame of the film; I think he doesn't have time to Divorce her and/or write her out of his will; so at the end when he accidentally falls down the stairs and kills himself; She would inherit his house and grounds and his percentage of the Magazine company,,,,25%...?? Also; since Clelia's mother basically confirms that the magazine's owner was her real father....Mac Roi ( which could be confirmed by a DNA test ); she would inherit a percentage of the magazine from her father ,,,,another 25%?? So they could hardly fire her....but would have to have her as one of the owner's and/or buy her out.
So the ending; with her in some kind of Nunnery or Monastery is in error; I think.
Being a guy; I also liked the fact that when her husband chased her down the street; basically proposing to her, by saying he liked kids and wanted to have some.
She went with him to see where he worked and all.....Call me a Romantic.
A nice Film for Sophie Marceau.....!!
Flight of the Intruder (1991)
A1 Skyraider Mechanic
A Great Picture...because it's one of the few that show the A1 Skyraider protecting shot down Jet Pilots. Yeah...I'm an old guy...you'd have to be to have worked on these planes. The other picture that shows them is "We Were Soldiers....".
The planes were produced to fight the Japanese but the war ended before deployment...so the Air Force; which Never throws away planes, put them in the Arizona Desert. They were sent into Combat for Korea and Vietnam for Close-Air support of Infantry and Firebases and for keeping enemy soldiers off of shot down jet pilots. Our planes were in the 1st SOS at Nak Hon Phanom, Thialand, RTAFB. The Cockpit of the A1 was Armored with an inch thick steel; so enemy AK47 Bullets would bounce off of it. There is a website...just search A1 Skyraider. At least two Migs were shot down by A1 Pilots.....one by navy pilots and one by air force pilots. In the AF action the Mig thought he would have a field day shooting down two prop A1s....but the A1s have two 20 millie cannons on each wing...the Mig flew at the A1s and the two A1s flew at the Mig...both sides firing their cannons.....like High Noon! The A1s shot the Mig down...so I think they gave them each 2.5 planes...halfway to an Ace. In the picture the wounded pilot asks the A1 "Sandy" call sign to drop a bomb on him....but that would never have happened as the AF pilot would have been Court martialed.
