- DirectorPablo BergerThe adventures and misfortunes of Dog and Robot in New York City during the 1980s.5.0 I really wanted to like it.. but the story was dumb...AND the movie is set in the 1980's but uses that stupid HAPPY song by Pharrell Williams multiple times. WTF.
- DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsLiza MinnelliRobert De NiroLionel StanderAn egotistical saxophonist and a young lounge singer meet on VJ Day and embark upon a strained and rocky romance, even as their careers begin a long, uphill climb.6.0 I really wanted to like it more than I did.. Maybe this one is bad casting.. Robert Deniro at this age has too intense of a screen presence for his character.. granted most likely, this is me projecting all of his tough guy rolls on to him in this movie
- DirectorGeorge CukorStarsJudy HollidayWilliam HoldenBroderick CrawfordA tycoon hires a tutor to teach his lover proper etiquette, with unexpected results.10.0 Re-visited . This is now a comfort movie for me.

- DirectorRoy William NeillStarsMelvyn DouglasGail PatrickTala BirellOnce a jewel thief always a jewel thief? Yes and no. Yes if you consider the fact that Michael Lanyard also known as the Lone Wolf once retired from the "trade" but relapses back into his old habits when he is tempted by the emerald pendant of beautiful socialite Marcia Stewart. The trouble (?) is that he falls for the belle and he soon gets more interested in getting the girl than the jewels that adorn her. What he wants now is to return the pendant but a rival gang interfere and force him to take part in a big-time caper. Bad for them, Michael exposes them and hands them over to justice. Michael and Marcia will live happily ever after. Well, all things considered, once a thief...not always a thief!6.0 Cheap Murder Mysteries - Mindless Fun

- DirectorGillian RobespierreStarsJenny SlateJay DuplassAbby QuinnIn 1995, a teenager living with her sister and parents in Manhattan discovers that her father is having an affair.7.0 Family Drama - Set in the 1990's - The solid story kept me watching.. My biggest beef was the music that the character's listened to.. It's hard to explain without sounding like a dick.. but the music was way too cool and seems out of place
- DirectorShinji HiguchiIkki TodorokiStarsTakumi SaitôMasami NagasawaHidetoshi NishijimaAs the threat of giant unidentified lifeforms known as "S-Class Species" worsens in Japan, a silver giant appears from beyond Earth's atmosphere.8.0 Do Not let the "shin" element of the title scare you away..This is an excellent update of UltraMan.. and the Sci-Fi story line towards the end is some top shelf Liquor.
- DirectorMakoto NaitôStarsEtsuko ShihomiMisa OharaHiroshi NawaMaki is the leader of a female gang that fights for justice, but she is taken and sent to a sadistic women's prison.7.0 Color me entertained. This sort of riffs on Prisoner 701 Scorpion but has its own charm so I didn't mind
- DirectorJack SmightStarsCharlton HestonKaren BlackGeorge KennedyA 747 in flight collides with a small plane, and is rendered pilotless. Somehow the control tower must get a pilot aboard so the jet can land.7.0 Revisited and still Highly Entertaining!

Fell Asleep but not the movie's fault
- DirectorDenis VilleneuveStarsTimothée ChalametZendayaRebecca FergusonPaul Atreides unites with Chani and the Fremen while seeking revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family.7.0 I enjoyed - Its saving grace is that it tells the story and you can follow and understand what is going on even if you have not read the book. I can not say the same for David Lynch's version.
- DirectorDennis DuganStarsAdam SandlerChristopher McDonaldJulie BowenAfter his grandmothers house is repossessed by the IRS, bad tempered hockey player takes his talents to golf to earn the big bucks and get his grandmothers house back.7.0 Revisited again this month. It's a bit of a comfort movie.

(side note) You know the SHAGGY DOG would make an excellent remake in this genre.. but make it a Dark Sci-Fi Horror
- DirectorLee PhilipsStarsBarbara EdenGeorge GrizzardJoyce Van PattenAn expectant mother begins acting strangely and doesn't know why. Gradually she starts to realize that her bizarre behavior is being controlled by her unborn baby.7.0 I dream of Jeannie gets banged by some aliens but her memory is wiped and she doesn't remember anything.. Now she is pregnant but her husband knows the baby isn't his.. drama ensues
- DirectorAnatole LitvakStarsBette DavisCharles BoyerJeffrey LynnA duchess' irrational behavior toward her children's governess triggers tragic events that will change her family's lives forever.8.0 My first time watching...Wonderful.. If a movie can make this old man cry it must be good.
