Moon Knight (2022)
I thought it was awful !
I like Oscar, and know about moon knight, and this isnt moon knight.
Oscar is great as a dramatic actor, but this is a silly comedy!!
And why it is set in britain, but evidently isnt really there makes no sense to me.
1st episode is all about him getting to know his split personality lol.
And he doesnt even do that.
This was basically just some running around , amateur writing and story.
Dexter: New Blood (2021)
Not the same ,Not as good writing not very good
New producer, New music, New setting, New Dexter, and all are not as good as the other 8 seasons.
Should have had the same music, and a warmer setting.
And we dont need the PC indian stuff.
I dont like the Ice logo or that sound each ep either.
Sometimes I wonder if the people doing shows like this actually watch the whole previous run of shows, or just a few or one season and then think
they know the show.
I have seen the first 3 episodes, and so far quite boring, and somewhat irritating to see the show messed up like this.
The only thing is I guess this version is better than no Dexter at all??
I agree with others, the Deb as the ghost who condems him at every turn
was a really bad idea and is very irritating, and hurts the dexter character.
I guess they wanted her in the show, but instead of condeming him, she should be helping him.
The story so far is not interesting at all, the only thing is now we can wonder about harrison and whether he is like his father or not.
The previous seasons were always well written, and this one so far isnt, or doesnt seem so now, but is good enough to watch and see what they do with it.
Overall good to have Dexter back, and this is why it is good they didnt kill him off before.
The harrison character might turn into a good character, but with the actor they chose, I dont think he has the charisma to carry a show, if this is what they have planned.
Dexters GF is lacking charisma too and her being a cop is just silly.
But I will watch the whole thing and then judge it as a whole, but so far
not impressed with it.
The Cleaning Lady (2018)
Shelley is Unique character
Shelley is a Unique character, the most unusual character I have seen in a movie in a long time. Very compelling to watch in this movie, she is the star
of the movie much like Hannibal Lecter was.
Rachel Alig did a great job with the role and kudos to Jon Knautz for doing
good job directing.
However the movie is not for everyone, especially stupid people.
Things are not explained for the simple minded, but can be figured out
by watching closely and thinking about things from Shelly's perspective.
One clue about the ending is the doll house and barbie doll in it during the past scenes of Shelly's youth.
It is ironic, that shelly hated her mom for being cruel and self centered ,
and uncaring about others, because she became that same type person,
just in a different way.
Shelly lives in her own world, in which she is isolated and a loner, so she
doesnt care about other people who are all different from her.
I found her to be a very interesting character, and would like to see a sequel
if done by the same people.
There were some writing flaws, but to correct those, would mean a longer
movie, and I cant get into that without spoilers.
So if your not stupid, and want to see something different, this movie is a good movie to check out. Just keep in mind Alice the blonde is not the star, it is Shelly.
Logan (2017)
Dark and depressing movie
James Mangold wrote and directed Logan things became depressing quickly and set the tone for the rest of the movie.
This film should be titled kill kill and die. Or "Sick Wolverine" I find it hard to believe so many liked this movie, or worse thought it was great.
I don't care for sick wolverine, it makes no sense the adamantium was poisoning him, and I think it was the genetic stuff in foods, that made the mutants unable to reproduce, and also for them to die of some ailment. Wolverines healing power fought it but was losing. But really this is not a good story and ruined the movie for me, I would rather see a normal wolverine one last time than to see this travesty. And if they are going to kill him then so be it, but I don't really like that either. When a actor is saying one more time, they tend to think O lets kill him off then. I don't like that,
The girl Laura was the best thing in the movie, was his DNA daughter, and she looked like fameke Jansen who played jean so they could have said she had DNA from jean too. played superbly by the young Dafne Keen. She never speaks thru half the movie, so does it all with looks etc. And they could have ended it with Logan going to Canada with his new daughter, and the other kids, and starting a school like Xavier did in past. That would have been a better ending that this crap.
Basically everyone in movie dies, except few of the kids, and cant remember if any of the bad guys survived, like the geneticist? Even the family that helped them all died, kill kill kill, not a happy movie at all, just the opposite, very dark and depressing movie with a few light moments that were quickly squashed by something bad.
I did really like the character growth between Logan and the girl, which might be one of the main highlights of the movie's story for me.
I would only watch this again to see the Laura scenes, but it is so depressing I don't know if I ever will want to watch this again.
The main villains of the film are very one-dimensional; at times, the film almost goes deep into their motivations, but abruptly interrupts itself in lieu of more awesome fight scenes. Basically you have a bunch of guys with guns, but they don't use the guns or do so rarely. The main bad guy just seemed not bad, like a robot doing a job. The geneticist was a little better but seemed to come out of nowhere in middle of movie, and was kind of corny.
I gave it a 2 of 10 and I have always liked wolverine and the actor playing the part. The writing and story was awful except for Logan's daughter, take that and write a better story, and it could have been a great movie.
Aside from Laura, this story really sucked, the worst of all the wolverine movies.
It was R rated so they could show graphic violence and I like that, but combined with the depressing story makes it harder to watch.
So Logan winds up buried in some woods, and Prof X buried some unmarked grave too, and everyone says yeah it was great and fitting ending for these 2 characters lol.
O and having Prof X be sick like he was sort of ruined having him in the movie too, and not good to remember him by. I guess I am just an oddball for not liking it, or people who don't like it probably don't want to take the time to come here and do a review, just the fanboys that loved it.
Road to Paloma (2014)
Well Made but boring and dark
First @ Jason Momoa: Your directing and film making is pretty good for a first movie and low budget. Your writing however is pretty bad. Next time try directing something that someone else wrote that is good material, and has all the elements needed and no tragic endings!
This is a well made movie , you would never guess it was made on $600,000 budget, ( I read that somewhere) so I give the movie a good score for that. It is realistic movie which is part of the reason it is boring. but some things are outlandish.
The story is pretty bad, and not a happy one. Some elements are just hard to believe, like wolf's mom lives on a reservation, and her husband is a Indian cop, yet somehow she is brutally killed by a white guy who I don't know was just wandering around the reservation? then her husband catches him but he doesn't kill him even though it would be quite easy out in the desert , no he arrests him! Then the guy is handed over to the feds who after a year decide killing a Indian woman is no big deal so they just let him go !!! And those words were used in the film. lol Now you don't get to see any of this it is just talked about, but later in the movie another evil white guy has a young Indian girl out in desert, and he is raping and torturing her , so I guess the reservations are where all evil white guys go to rape women?? It just seems too silly and bizarre to believe. (and there seemed to be no reason for this scene, like it was a after thought or maybe they wanted to make sure we know this is happening a lot. So wolf kills the guy in such a manner that there is no doubt he killed the guy ?? I mean he could have knocked him out and take him into the desert and killed him and no one would ever know he did it. But then you couldn't have this tragic ending. So this movie is about after wolf kills the guy and the FBI has one guy after him that wants to catch him and another FBI guy who doesn't. Wolf winds up teaming up with another loser who has a bike to and it is easy rider for awhile , but then gets dark again with the ending.
I like Momoa as a actor , so this was sort of OK to watch, also I wanted to see if he could write or direct, and he can direct, but needs to work big time on his writing skills.
The Butterfly Room (2012)
Was OK worth seeing once.
First I have to say Barbara Steele looks great to be as old as she is. She does a good job with her role. The movie itself is original, and different , and interesting enough to make you want to see how it ends. Worth seeing once.
Now the direction.... first as a writer JZ has good ideas but his writing is not very good. Might have been a better movie had he let someone else write the story based on his novel and ideas.
I liked some elements, like the girl Alice picking up older women and them paying her to spend time with them.
Had a top notch director and a good writer done this movie it could have been quite good.
the main character /villain being a woman who loved young girls, but was a horrible mother to her own daughter. she is also a sociopath, no remorse , and can kill with no remorse. she seemed to not like men at all.
the characters are all a little unrealistic, but at same time realistic.
The movie itself is confusing with the silly flashbacks, but the basic story is Ann wants to have her daughter back, or better yet to have another daughter, as long as she doesn't have to have a baby herself. the big surprise is what happens to Alice the smart girl who leases out her companionship.
**spoilers below***
Alice winds up like the butterfly's. the other young girl Julie is the one who sort of solves the mystery, and is Ann's undoing. Ironically Ann saves her at the end from being hit by a car, even though she was trying to kill her.
So overall I gave it a 6 due to being different and somewhat original. I will add the acting is good so the direction was good from that standpoint. The main problem was the story wasn't quite right, and need to not have the flashbacks.
Ahí va el diablo (2012)
Really bad and most of all boring!
OK I see the other reviews, and they must be from someone who works for the director. this movie was so poorly made and boring I could not watch it, and rarely do I run into a movie I cannot watch. I gave it 30 minutes thinking from above reviews that it would be good. But it was just so amateurish, and that made it very boring. The story itself is awful. the directing is well not very good. I like cheap movies and foreign movies, but this one is just crap. I wonder how movies like this even get funded? So I don't know what anyone would see in this. If you go ahead and watch it remember I warned you! So now it is up to you as to who to believe, about this movie. the review before mine said the same thing, but the others seemed to think it was great. The first part of the movie the kids disappear , they just walk off and you don't see what happens to them, then they come back acting weird. it has been ahile since I tried watching this so don't remember much aside from the first 30 minutes, which is basically what I just said, nothing be that happens. I skipped through the movie at the time and it was just silly.
Out of the Furnace (2013)
Don't waste your time with this, even with the great actors....
Don't waste your time with this, even with the great actors... it is a horrible film that makes no sense at all. It is boring and depressing. There is no action in the film. Here is a example bale goes to the bad guys town and knowing he is a drug dealer, goes up to some bad guys and wants to buy some "candy". they ask him what kind, and he says anything LOL. Then they take him to a house and he buys some meth but he refuses to smoke it in front of them, but they sell it to him anyway!?? Then he pays for it and walks out forgetting his bag of candy? lol The guy comes down and says you forgot this.?? then bale and his friend go back to their truck and just sit their for hours till the police arrive and run them out of town.
the whole movie is like that , just stupid stuff that makes no sense, and is boring. Also many many things are not explained at all. An example of that is the car accident at the beginning, then next scene he is in prison? Why the brother and pretty were killed also made no sense at all, and nothing about the whole debt or fight business is ever explained.
Some good actors in the film, and good acting, but the director who also wrote it Scott cooper is a idiot who needs to learn how to make a real film.
This is the worst movie with big actors in it that I have ever seen.
Blue Caprice (2013)
Not worth seeing it is junk
This is a purely fictional account of what really happened. the movie is slow and boring and inaccurate. It seems to be made to draw sympathy to 2 killers who deserve no sympathy. Very little is shown of the actual killing, it is all about leading up to the actual killing event.
I saw another movie which had them shooting thru a tail light that was removable, and caught by 2 detectives who tracked down the car. In this one they cut a hole in the trunk, and were caught sleeping in the car. This movie downplays the actual crimes and the intent and motivations, which makes it a bogus film.
Someone should make a accurate movie of this event, to offset crap films like this one.
House of Bodies (2016)
Don't waste your time
OK I watched this and it is a really boring and bad movie. the cast was OK, some OK acting, but the script and story were lame. Terrence Howard spends the whole movie talking to peter Fonda in a interrogation room. All this does is after a long time tells who the killer actually is.
I gave this movie one star for the cute blonde who sort of has the main role. She made the movie a little interesting. The deaf guy who she makes friends with online was OK till things go bad and then he acts like a retard. The killer is someone who used to live in this house and now shows up out of nowhere to kill all in the house very leisurely.
Everyone today has a cell phone, but not these kids? so even when 2 of the girl realize a killer is in the house , 1 hides, and the other try to sneak out. also they are running a sex fantasy website to pay the rent on the house. the movie would have been better without Fonda and Terrence, and just make it all about the house. Bad Director and bad story overall.
Cold Comes the Night (2013)
This was a very good movie watch it
The only flaw to this movie is that it is a little short. there is a minute or 2 at the beginning rolling credits, and it ends at about 1:18. with then 12 min of credits. No spoilers, I just always check that to be sure.
Other than that this is a excellent movie. It has suspense, some action, and a good story that is rather original. The acting is all good, I watched this because Bryan Cranston was in it, and he did his usual good job. I had never seen Alice Eve, ....well I did in Star Trek, but did not remember her. If you see this you will, as I will remember her, as she does a good job in this, and is the main character.
I have to salute the Director Tze Chun, who also co wrote it, as it was
well Directed, well made film. Once you start watching it is hard to stop, some films I stop and finish later, but this one I had to keep going to see what happens. The way it is written and acted , it is very true to real life, not like the typical Hollywood stuff.
The fact that Topo (Cranston) is partially blind adds to the suspense and tension. I don't think that anyone who watches this will be disappointed. To me this type of movie is better than the big blockbusters with all the silly stuff. I would rather watch this again than Ironman 3 or most of the top 20 blockbusters that make all the money.
People complain about Hollywood not being original, but when movies like this are made they don't make any money.So they keep making the junk that does make money.
This is a low budget movie, but it didn't seem like it, and is not a B movie, like many low budget movies.
Bonnie & Clyde (2013)
This was a very good movie watch it
Spoilers not much but some. I don't see where to give it star rating, so will just say.
I give it a 9 out of 10.
I did not think this would be good , but it was. The actress who played Bonnie " Holliday Grainger " did a outstanding job with the role. She brought Bonnie to life in a compelling manner. I would have to say she was the star of the film. All the actors did a good job, and the directing was good too. The story although fictional at times was a good story.
The ending is one you would never think of, but I have to say is very possible, considering that at the point of the Ambush Clyde did not have much to live for, and had said he would never go back to prison. The film indicates that Clyde set up and drove into the ambush on purpose. This is original and possible.
I enjoyed watching this, and I think it is better and more factual than the 1967 W.Beatty movie. The film does portray Bonnie as a fame seeker, and active in shooting people, which goes against historical accounts.
They use the false story of Bonnie shooting a cop on the ground , and saying "his head bounced like a rubber ball" a gang member who was there said this was not true, but at the time this story was used to get the public to not like Bonnie and Clyde, and it worked. So if you get a chance watch this , it is a good film.
The Frozen Ground (2013)
This was a very good movie watch it
I was surprised at how well made this movie was. Very realistic, well directed and very good acting by all. The story is based on a real story, and they did a good job of making it have a real feel. John Cusak was a surprise, he did a good job of making the killer seem like a real guy and that made him scary. He had a family and yet did his serial killing on the side. I am surprised this movie did poorly at the box office. It seems people complain abut the standard Hollywood crap, but then don't go see movies like this. But at same time I never heard of this movie or saw it advertised. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes a good drama or thriller.
Dead in Tombstone (2013)
Not a western
This movie is as it says in the summary here. It is a supernatural story that has a western setting. If you like supernatural then you might like it. Mickey Rourke is kinda funny as the devil, but other than that it is pretty bad. Made in Romania, low budget, but still it is the script and director that makes the movie bad.
For true western fans I suggest you pass on it.
The only draw to watch this to the end is to see if Trejo can complete his task of killing his entire gang in 24 hours. Watching him do it in a "Van Damme" fashion is kinda boring.
However if you have some time to kill give it a try. But the big name actors do not make this movie good.
Vanished (2011)
Amateur movie
It is hard to say why this movie is so bad without giving spoilers. It is a low budget Australian movie, and it is written and directed by same guy,and he is the main problem.His direction isn't real bad but his writing is. The writing ranges from bizarre to just plain stupid.
Spoilers: In one part the woman is working at a college, because she figured out the abductor of her son worked there or went to school there. this was stupid and bizarre in itself, the way she figures this out. Then after she meets a bunch of people for I don't know how long, maybe years,
She talks to one woman once and says she just knew it was her! Talks to her one time and she just knows. after that she proceeds to stalk (for a long time, at this point I do not believe the woman had had a kid yet)and plan to kidnap this woman's child, just to actually get the woman to come to her.
She will then threaten to kill her kid unless she admits what she did. With the screenplay as it is no filmmaker could make this a good movie.
Limitless (2011)
very good film
I did not think this movie would be good, but it was. better than most of the crap coming out nowadays. it was fun,interesting and suspenseful.the pace is very fast, so you never get bored. Glad to see Bradley get a starring role, I liked him back when he was on Alias. also the girl Abby Cornish is a real treat to look at, even though her role is small. She is also in the new movie sucker punch as one of the girls, not the main one. I was not interested in that movie, but now I am going to see that just because this girl is in it
But no matter what others say , go see this one and you will probably enjoy it.
Nikita (2010)
Fun show to watch !
Nikita is a fun show to watch, it has lots of surprises ,and twists to the story which is just getting started. The cast has revealed some things that are coming at the NYC comic con and it sounds like it will only get better. Right now it is one of the best new shows, and one of the best on the CW. The show has had some good fight scenes, and some even better ones
are coming. Maggie Q is doing a good job as Nikita, and Lyndsey Fornseca is good as ALex.
the show has some flaws , some bad writing at times, but also some very good writing . you have to forget about LFN to enjoy this show, as they are completely different takes on the Nikita story. The show started with no romantic angles, but those are coming also.
