TMZ Investigates: 9/11: The Fifth Plane (2023)
TMZ started something that was acknowledged the same year it came out
It really started in Florida , TMZ picked up on it then the FBI admitted to Investigating and still are in 2023 but couldn't say much more as it my compromise the investigations as if they were going to charge people. So I'd never heard this story. So it's rather believable. Similar to United 93. 2 failed planes 3 hits... 23 would be the same thing like 93... Sad UNITED treating them poorly ( flight attendants. At least they got workers comp for it. As for the reviews. They musta said how bad it was before the FBI acknowledged that there was an investigation.. Since it is official it carries as much weight as United 93... ie if the plane didn't hit anything was it really involved. Many say United 93 had nothing to do with it. Same as United 23

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)
One of their best. The others.. Missed the TV cartoon show...
Or watched the wrong TV show. This one shoved Ghostbusters II all the way down to the floor and stepped on it. Clearly still has the heart of the original. Ignore the second movie and the spinoff. This pretty much had it all. Comedy, Okay her parents are really messed up. Smartest one in the room can't go out makes friends with a ghost and everything goes to heck. Half the movie is ripped out of the cartoon show. Got the underground lab and apparently Phoebe can be a ghost for 2 minutes unfortunately for her. Ghostbusters to me is about evolving. The second movie got into trouble for basically doing the exact same movie the first one did. I kinda list them them this way 1 and 3 are interchangeable . (somewhat tied) Not sure which. #4 is at third place and #2 is at last place far below... i just loved it . It was just hilarious. Albeit the ghosts appear to be back for good.. and D*ckless is put to bed. I can't wait till Slimer haunts him.... Sure not as good as #3 and both of them pretty much ignore both #2 and the spinoff. Well a little bit... Think I saw Miss Liberty in there.. Again didn't mind all the fake ghostbusters. I just knew the ones that counted.. now if the step dad figures out he was talking to a room someday whoops.... i'm all in for another.. Sorry I was with the troop who kept pushing for a third movie but sometime after 2000 gave up but I remained true to the first 2... Until Miss Grace shared some music and became the Heroness...

Hesher (2010)
Um... Only got this because Natalie is in it.
Well it's slightly less depressing than Black Swan. Clearly Natalie already had her um... . High on something...... This movie is alot of um's. Very Vulgar that is for sure... Crank 2 does vulgar better... I can't see for the life of me ever watching this again . Almost no plot. Got people sleeping getting bullied. Sleeping and blowing stuff up. Oh and Natalie got wet. Think they got the casting wrong with Natalie in there cause this isn't her style of movie. I couldn't take this movie seriously And Gosh you know it isn't good with 28 minutes of outtakes. Dare I look at the deleted Scenes? Like I'm here to do a review and comment but with so little plot there just isn't much to work on. Think I should go back to 2023's Elemental and feel better... Not the worst movie in the world but well wee bit better than Black swan and that isn't saying much.. By now Metallica was part of the machine and Megadeth was not. I just can't see a Megadeth Pinball game... Like fine Natalie was 10 yrs old while I'm playing The Black Album . But I was like 16 so it fit right on in.... Just got tired of it and Load came around then Napster and then Metallica wasn't worth much after that...

Son of God (2014)
Um if you've seen The Bible skip this short one
Just is a shortened poorly edited version of The Bible.
Poorly paced, poorly edited. Oh he's a rockstar I guess smh Roma overacted. She was better on Touched By An Angel . Actor playing Jesus was exactly the type to act. He's just copying way too much via the bad edit, what they do in the far better Jesus of Nazareth . So for sure if you don't wanna was the 500 + min the Bible series. Okay but it's very poorly edited. Christmas takes part in 7 minutes. He enters Jerusalem on the donkey 48 min over an hour left. I think the only things they got right was more of what really happens to that temple.. If I remember a cloth was ripped into too. And Pontius is way too important and visible in this movie. I gave it 2/10 Think the Bible series would inform you better. There is a bit too much gore at the beginning but they didn't go for the Jesus I'm Braveheart version. I'd rather watch the very well acted movie from 1977. High School showed it in 1992. Only 15 yrs old at the time. Watched it nearly every year since. USA 382 min. Spain 401 min. I know alot of Peter's scenes were removed.. But this actor for Jesus is more suited for a Jesus Christ Superstar remake..

To Live and Die in L.A. (1985)
I'd give it a full 10 if it weren't for the ending.
The ending didn't really need the flashbacks. Then there's the truck. Bang no idea. So it has John T's character Chance needs his help. Poof plot hole and that truck is a plot hole. Given us is Chance really dead or not... Other than that (not dated) . It's a great fun movie but I'm thinking Chance was beginning to flip out towards the end after killing the Chinese man with the money laughing at his woman to play with. Cause she's scared and he's laughing. So what if it plays like Miami Vice. Michael musta liked Petersen putting him in Manhunter.. Alot of the scenes remind me of Steven Seagal's early films. Petersen did alot better in Manhunter though..

The Heyday of the Insensitive Bastards (2015)
For Arthouse and Natalie Portman fans only.
I don't really like the movie but it is Art House. I don't get them all but it's well made.. Natalie's Acting coulda been better on this one, but she's made at least 3 movies of short stories now. Outside of New Your and Paris. But wow. This claims to be a Comedy. Sorry nothing funny about this ultra depressing film. No endings to any of them really. Last one had the closest to an ending but what happened to Kelsey Ford and seems like her last movie too. Shoulda been warned this wasn't a comedy. Listed here and BD dot com. It's not a comedy hands down. The only blu ray that works in the USA is the Italian one.. Plays on my 4K player from Sony. Unlikely I'll watch it again.. Like the Pillow Book . I'll just keep it because of Natalie and the fact I got it (pricey) from Italy Amazon. It's not a spoiler to say this isn't a comedy....

The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
Except for it's technical merits. This is hardly a kids movie.
1993 what in the hell were they thinking. Clearly not a Christmas movie. Therefore it's a horrifical horror movie. Keep the under 10 kids far away... Beetlejuce is hilarious. This movie downright depressing. I need some Frozen to cheer me up. If you are suffering from depression do not watch this movie. Glad it took me 30 years (Disney Insider so $35 bd was free) to watch it , Glad I got it free. Totally pointless film. Glad the girl got her man but hey Santa you could made her seamless. Doubt I'll play this nightmare again. I suggest you watch this in October because it's a horror movie and keep the kids away as this is more like Sleepy Hollow and I rather like the latter.

About Mrs. Leslie (1954)
Well this was a massive disapointment.
The acting only turned on an hour in. Nothing really happened for an hour. Went to sleep on it twice. But after that hey the young couple , the wannabe dance and actress. They spiced things up. Alot of this movie is vague and one of the poorest lacklust scripts one could ever find. Has zero explanation on why she's called Mrs Leslie.. There is zero chemistry between the two actors. Except that younger couple . Not a clue why people like it. The dvd wasn't bad. Although it did have lines in it later on. But I'll stick this one in the worst MOD movie I've gotten so far. I'll stick with Rhonda Fleming. I can't imagine Ronald Reagan movies being better but this movie made sure of it.

Everly (2014)
More or less the reviews are very sexist. All the guys do movies like this and they get kudos. This bothered to have a story. Didn't much care about quality but the
Entertainment is up there with Crank 2. Crank 2 is a bit better but It's a cross between that movie , The Professional, and some Rob Roy thrown in. Except she didn't grab the sword. It's a kick butt movie and reminds me of Desperado at times with all the gore. Not really dark since it's a fun movie. Like hello yes it's a movie and the kid survives but since (spoiler) she's alive this really needed a sequel. It's just the Salma a female doing stuff the guys do. No clue where the critics went wrong here. This is why I write reviews cause often they rate the plot only, which was pretty good. I've seen alot of gory fun movies like this .. nothing wrong with it. It's a great underrated movie

Volki i ovtsy. Beeezumnoe prevrashchenie (2016)
Better than I thought it'd be. And Bianca. Dang Lovely wolf. She should be made Leader :P
Kids of course will love this. Adults , ignore the bad reviews. It's a Russian movie . Somewhere there are nice people there. Clearly has a plot since obviously the leader of the pack says no to killing sheep (more Rams than Sheep). Just a wolf who hasn't grown up yet , loves a female wolf but she says he isn't grown up yet. A Leader that's waiting for them to dual it out and a bad ass that'll turn them mindless. Just that it takes to turning into a Ram to figure that out but the Geek sheep get's the girl and the male Wolf (hello Malfoy) is going after that Hot blue Wolf. And eveyones gonna root for her :)
Simple plot. Okay maybe slightly too many characters but have to start somewhere.

New York, I Love You (2008)
well Paris Je Taime was first. This is America's version
Same folks. Pretty much a movie where film students and critics love it and anyone else doesn't get it. Some connections esp 2 Eli Wallach Tuco what are you doing. Was a laugh. But Natalie Portman playing a hard core Judaism (she isn't one) vs a Jainist wow That was unique. And alot of these shorts interconnect . That surprised. Alot better than than the first movie imho. That one was too slow. . Guy falls for a much older woman. This is going to be a fav. Natalie is in both of them. How'd Hayden get in there. Didn't even recognize Anikan Now one I didn't like a bit was the one from Scarlett Johnsonian (sp) absurd. And way too many credits for absurd. The other bonus was better. Experimental film. Kinda wish the third one happened... As some of the bonus ones state..

King Arthur (2004)
Well I gave it a 7 for the script and interesting ideas. However the editor shoulda been fired.
This movie runs like Dredd. Takes a tiny bit out of the King Arthur story then wastes 141 minutes telling it. It is NOT the weirdest version. The Weirdest it not Malory, but he stole much of it from a French book which is thus hard to find. (find Mordreds Curse and Merlins (pervert homosexual) Gift and you'll no. There is no Lancelot in the book. Gwen falls for Mordred after he rescues her.. And someone lied to King Arthur about Mordred when he was actually doing exactly what Arthur told him to do. Having said that. This movie isn't quite as weird. Though 1.. Woads most books portray Gwen as a painted Pict. Not many problems with them. Saxon's yes. I'd mostly say Keira was the best cast actor in the movie. Clive no he has zero emotion. All fake and not believable. Another of Arthurs Knights I like the actor. He's the one fighting Skarsgaard and is killed by the _____ I think he's in Uprising and Sum of All games but not entirely sure about that. More sure about Uprising. But the editing of the movie ruins it. I've given it a 7/10 because of new ideas. It would have been better as a book. 141 minutes from this. Bit waste of time. With bad editing. More or less this is a poorly made movie that's fun to watch (skip the absurd intro) and have fun. Took me 19 yrs to watch it. Never watched the dvd..

Murphy's Romance (1985)
Typical mid 80's Country style movie
Easy to watch. Romantic for sure. A bit of a love triangle going on. There is a few week moments like the kid walking home after she said she was kicking her ex out and he wanted out of the truck.. Doesn't seem affected by that problem anymore, not with two half brothers now. Oops which kinda makes the decision on who she wants. Sorta. She's a bit numb so just to put her straight. James walks around the corner plants a great kiss on Sally and lifts her out the door cause eh maybe she's not as smart as he thought she was. Really. Wakey :) It's not perfect. But it's a slow movie and I don't mind those.

Spread (2009)
This is no comedy unless your sexist . I never laughed once. Most other sites have it as Romance first Drama last.
Not a clue why imdb lists this as a comedy. It's not in anyway a comedy. I think it's more Drama than Romance but Romance is more than one partner so that is likely why it's #1 and Drama is second. Apparently whoever wrote that on imdb clearly didn't watch the movie. This is more of a serious movie. Anyone coming here thinking it's a Comedy will be disappointed. I gave it an 8 cause eventually he learns he's messed up and I was thinking Anne Heche was the one like him, not this Heather. I have a doubt that marriage will last long. Maybe she finds out she's pregnant. That'd put a bump in the road. Yeah the movie doesn't exactly end. I don't mind movies like that cause anything could happen. He could get back in with Anne Heche as he's working now. But he's changed from the person at the beginning and the person at the end . And again nothing to laugh at, unless you're one of those guys laughing at the women for being dense.

Eastern Promises (2007)
I wouldn't call this a violent movie. Shoot em up was much worse..
But this was a serious movie rather than Shoot Em Up. Just think CSI : LV 2000-2015 or so and that's about as violent as it gets. Not sure how Nude Viggo gets. He's gone a long way from being an Amish on Witness. Like know him since I was 9 ? Maybe 10. 1985 I turn 10 in Sept.. I'm 47 now. He does a really good russian accent possibly better than the funny one on Nobody Obshank ? No ? He's still an idiot. The acting playing the boss. Spot on. I first see him whenever and thought he's bad guy. The film is really addicting. I'm not really sure why and it's odd a French actor manages to keep things interesting. I gave this a 9/10. It does drag a bit but with Viggo's thick accent, but even Naomi's uncle plays the part and it has a Beautiful ending imho.

A Tale of Love and Darkness (2015)
Well I really did not like Black Swan whatsoever. It's a horror movie. Not fond of those. But this movie was way better.
Being a first time director they like being a bit harsh on them. I didn't see anything wrong with this. It's got an original story from a book. And I'd never know except BTS that Natalie had any part with directing cause her acting outshines anything else. Her husband is like in another time... No clue how they met. They are so different. The 10 year old is alot like his mother. Dark brooding. But for mental health in that era not many knew what to do with depression. And she had it.. Possibly Bi-Polar. I have some of that. But the meds for it .... I can't swallow anything so nothing there for me.. It is alot like Apocalypse Now in that it goes downhill into the maze. But it isn't a horror movie and I don't take well to those. Black Swan was a horror movie. I didn't know that... So I gave it a 10 ... this site seems to give it the lowest rating. Others it's around 7/10 Which I don't mind but there's alot of Life is Beautiful in this movie , but instead of some kid messing up and the dad gets himself killed for it. I don't think her Husband in this movie helped all that much... He ignored it.. Israel was home and thats it.. I had the good fortune of finding this on blu ray (HK) there is a German one still out there. On DTS. Mines TrueHD. This one I could replay because this is an art house like film . It wasn't meant to be popular. It was meant to exist..

Cobb (1994)
I really don't wanna review this.
First of all I'd figured with all the color photos it was gonna be about Ty's fights on the fields (aka Field of dreams Shoeless Joe Jackson saying in the movie Ty Cobb wanted to play but none of us could stand the son of a _____ when he was alive, so we told him to stick it !!!!) I'd say this is about the worst baseball movie (hardly is one) I've ever seen .. Skip the color photos the laserdisc cover which is better designed than the bad dvd and is one of the better in shape Laserdiscs I've played.... The cover is actually a lie It's all about Ty's last days... The Writer Ghost writer of of the auto bio. And 1994's book , think the movie gets it across he's not all trustworthy either. More or less 129 minutes of mostly boring bits splashed together to make a movie. And plenty of unneeded nudity. Like fine the mother was the only good looking lady in the whole movie...Otherwise I'd never get this on dvd let alone anything else

Dogville (2003)
Tedious 177 minute play..
Stripped bare to look like a high school play and even those are more fun to watch. Doubt I'd watch this again. Yeah great acting But I watched it just watch it. Rated R is for the ending with kids. I'm not going to spoil it but it's simply a play with fake rooms and floor has chalk marks where everything should be and then they figure torturing Nicole is the best for the town and R gets in the way. I'd say the movie is a verse out of torture. Disgusting all way round. How it gets such high grades I don't know Sailor Moon at least is higher. This is a one view only movie... Or one you force on your film students. :P

Slipstream (1989)
Following B movie rules
This is one of them that stands out. If it takes me buying it on blu ray with 2 other absurd movies fine. It's on it's own outside the USA. Got this at an antique store ages ago in a building from the 1800's in an odd corner in the basement. Got it for Mark but I went to watch it yesterday and it turned out to be for the budget a really good script. Alot better than ol Yor And I have that Blu ray . This was only a $1 , I just spend $15 over at the owner of this site... It has all the right ingredients so not sure why the bad rating. Mind you it is a B movie. Probably the best use of $$ since Evil dead (early 80's) 1989 was a pretty good year. Had some ladies in there, they really used them good too . The acting was above the bar for a B movie. Rather like this movie.

Enigma (2001)
Finally finished it this time.
Around 2009 I was watching the dvd but was having a bad time back then and stopped with 30 min to go. I have the German blu ray Region B locked with a player that can play it. The music is great the flashbacks tearful. Not a true emotional film and there is the confusing ending. Kate's pregnant. I'd assume Scott fell for kate all in. Still like Imitation Game we aren't treated to anything but a retelling of the same story. Just with proper names. Why this has worse reviews than Imitation Game I don't know. It came first. Took the other 14 yrs . Blu Ray for this movie but only in Germany with a region free player from Am.. Crystal Clear movie. No real extra's but don't care much of that. The historical facts are in German and if you have google lens translate on . Then you can read it.. Action folks probably will find this movie but it's still a thriller...

The Key (2014)
Very definition of Art House and odds are people won't get it.
Unless they've been through film school of a film class (been thru 2 views) One from WI one from IA. Aced the IA one. It showed more of the artistic side of film and I loved that stuff. So it's easy for me to love this movie even though it is a tragedy similar to Romeo & Juliet . I see this movie as basically what happens to a marriage when they don't communicate. Bad things happen, they leap to other men or women. Blood pressure rises. Paranoia. Totally fits with what when communication doesn't exist. Can't say this film (not movie) is original in it's core but it's more or less a film that is an audio book with sensory overload. And if you don't know much about Art House you won't like this movie. Certainly would be better than having Tinto try a hand at it. Tough to find on the folks who own this site. But I did find it thru some searching online. Kagi ? English translation... I got the MOD DVD because I follow Bai Ling and bought it awhile ago. And been going thru some shorter movies / films I have of late

Prelude to a Kiss (1992)
Took me 30 years to watch.
I'd had this on VHS never watched it. Got the DVD in 2016 cheap. Still not on blu ray. It's a yarn. Big on Romance. Think the anime movie Your Name except those two fall for each other. This is some old guy who just wanted to be that person for a day (more than one) and Jamaica yuck. Not me. And clearly not for them either... I'd look for a nice park and relax if it was my Honeymoon. Maybe a Yurt with a view. A fully furnished one. Meg did a great take on acting the different persona. But the old guy. Not so much. Like okay what did he eat down her body . It's an okay film but not a knock you off your feet film.
The Sessions (2012)
Figured this to be a 10 yeah. Art House type.
Gotta watch this as an adult not an adult who hasn't grown up yet. Like owe wow upper 40's Helen Hunt doing what. It's more like Helen Hunt was breaking a known barrier and she was fit for it. One thing I under understand is converting from Christian (believe in Christ) to Judaism . Not believing in him I think they still do but they do it for love. Mark is a fun guy. Fasted way to any heart is to make them laugh. Especially it's it's a lady. Church involved okay fine now was this around Shameless? Think they borrowed him for this. Same haircut.. Not many special features. I wish there were. But this will go in favs. Like Awakenings sort of films. Gets a full ten around Acting is way above average.

Why the hate I don't know.
It's like a modern Ferngully . Some compared it to Secrets of Nihm uh have they even seen that. All animals anti animal testing has nothing in common.. The detail in the movie is rather amazing. Don't know I hadn't heard of this movie. Interesting way to rebel against your dad. Shrink ... okay by accident that happens in real life I know that. Somehow This does appear to be too short and ends too abruptly and the Romantic in me thinks she might end up choosing to get a bit smaller... Could be the other way around but doubt that ... I gave it an 8/10.. Not original. Like yeah 99.9999 % of the movies out there now are not original. I'm not gonna hit it for that.. Certainly better than a bugs life. Hey where's my spray

Looks like something similar to Goes to Camp
Although more magic to the first. But there was this great warrior thing. Throughout the film. Clearly way better than Scared Stupid. The only movie at the theater I walked out on. That was stupid alright. Like worst film ever made..But this one made me laugh. Goes to Africa no. It was forgettable. But this movie Ranks up with the first 3 movies. Why Ernest Saves Christmas is still on dvd I have no idea. It was his Best. Then Camp and Jail.
