Ad Astra (2019)
I could not help it, this review may be a bit comedic!
Man not in black or southern drawl from outer space,
kind of fast and somewhat furious, where's pink floyd when you need em'most?
a quaint prayer to old saint chris but I don't think he heard the last bit due to the rockets red glare..
Mood stabilizers? I don't need no stinkin' mood stabilizers!
Attack of the space monkeys...
Another quaint prayer and lets just eject the guy into OS, screw his family and a funeral...
Nurse Ratched has a bit part, she really hasn't aged a bit....
Depressed tech savvy Betty boop hits the classified glass ceiling yet knows more than the folks doing the classifying...
Space official top knot guy, seriously?
Orange is the new deep black space, and her look, sound, attitude and DRESS has literally not changed...
Lots of deep introspection and somber looks and narrative from super astronaut boy amongst the cgi and green screen, gave proof to the night, that our brad was still there...oh say does that star spangled space uniform flag patch er' wave, oer' the land of the freaks and the home of the highly overpaid..
Freaking awesome gold ray ban aviator space helmet visors...
The park, er, the ship is mine...
Princess leia earmuffs for all my friends....
Steven tylers progeny seems despondent, Alicia, she needs you....
space trippin...
The littlest rocket ship...
There goes my ride...
The floating dead...
Dead beat space dad..
No more, I am just worn out making fun of this movie. It coulda' been a contenda' but due to writing it aint!
One last thought, Randy Quaid would've been a great second choice for the lead, replete with full beard, big gut and full on crazy, just my humble opinion!
Mandy (2018)
Either you'll love it or hate it!
FYI, I'm 56 and very jaded and cynical when it comes to movies so this review is as honest as I can get.
Seriously, I see 10's and 1's, most people seemed to either love it or hate it. I loved it, but I really wanted to hate it but I couldn't. It's exactly the type of movie I normally dislike and Cage has been a bit of a has been for a while now which doesn't help matters, but still, I loved it! I even read a bunch of the bad reviews and thought that based on those, I wouldn't like it, but nope, I still loved it!
The music I actually loved for the most part (it's very loud and in your face, not subtle at all) , the colors and cinematography in general were just great, just beautiful, and great actors to boot. As most people pointed out the first 30 minutes are a bit bizarre and trippy but for some reason I loved it and didn't have a problem with it. Please keep in mind the whole movie is a bit bizarre and trippy for the most part. Nicolas did a great job as did Andrea and Linus Roche was just plain great in it! The supporting actors did a fine job as well Not really sure what else to say, I don't feel the need to break it down.
If you're thinking about checking it out, give it a try, there's a 50/50 chance you'll actually like it.
A Thousand Junkies (2017)
Just a great little movie!
First, all these guys are former addicts so the acting is top notch regarding the guys "playing" addicts. There is no real action here unless you count the action of living in active addiction which there is plenty of! There are no big names unless you count the cameos by Bill Pullman and Steven Weber. This film will not be for everybody, but I'm betting almost everyone has been affected by someone else's drug use. They really nailed the active "functioning" addict lifestyle in my opinion. It's good to have Mr. Swerdlow back, he's an obvious talent that needs to be noticed and I hope he continues writing and acting. TJ Bowen and Blake Heron are excellent, they basically play themselves I'm guessing and they have serious chops. Blake has previous acting experience but this appears to be TJ's fist time and he is just great in my opinion! It is a bit slow but it's not supposed to be fast....The main reason I like this film is because I can relate to it and the guys in it, I've been clean and sober a while now.I enjoyed this much more than many of the blockbusters being cranked out daily in Hwood.
The Flash: Mixed Signals (2017)
Very strange episode
I'm not commenting on the substance of the episode so much as maybe the tech aspect of it. I'm seeing strange camera angles that don't match the last seasons/episodes or the general feel and groove of the last 3 seasons at ALL. At times it come's off like a bad soap opera visually and doesn't have that "Flash" sorta groove that I've been use to for so long now. Wasn't impressed with the villain, the guy just didn't seem right for the part, or maybe it was his lines. The same thing with the actor who portrayed elevator guy. It just seems to have a very weird overall feel, I didn't get this in the last episode, which makes it very bizarre. Could be a different producer or director? Perhaps it's just me. I'm not sure if anyone else will notice this, which of course would mean it's just me! It does seem to be losing momentum, I hate that, I really love this show! I'll keep hanging in there, hopefully it will get better.
Moving Day (2012)
Great little flick!
I have NO idea why this is getting a 5.1??? Wtf People?? I watch a ton of movies, and I rarely feel moved to write a review, but I just gotta say, I loved this movie! Will Sasso and Charlie Murphy stole the show, but the rest of the cast did a wonderful job as well. They portrayed a great, loving friendship, it really made the movie. It's one of those movies that,with just a bit of wrong direction,casting and writing, and bad acting, could've easily been a total bomb. Instead, what a treat! NOT a brainless comedy by ANY means (as you may think by the title, cast and basic description), but rather a very warm, well acted, intelligent, and at times, funny little movie. Whilst you may not agree with my 7, you very well may agree it's a good movie, and well worth a watch. Please, give this movie a try.
