Every bit as exciting, thrilling and adventurous as the original. I was so excited to hear that this movie was coming out. But I was worried that it would be tainted to today's politics. Which thankfully it was not, it actually holds up to today's standards as a stand alone movie. Great story, great characters, great ending.

Blue space dust
6 March 2022
I didn't think this series could sink any lower, but just as a person with two different leg lenghts puts on orthopedic shoes, I stand corrected. I'm surprised that Paramount allows their once great show that has entertained audiences for decades and multiple generations to come to this point. It's almost like they WANT it to be the most despised and hated of all their properties. Such a shame.
Insufferable
16 January 2022
There comes a point when you just have to say enough is enough. This episode has come to this point. Did the writers of this series have a contest to see who could come up with the worst and most unbearable storyline? It sure seems like it here. The name Star Trek used to have the respect and standing where all other Sci-fi series were based and judged. Other series would always be overshadowed by the outstanding achievements that Star Trek would bring. Sadly and unfortunately this is no longer the case.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife
(2021)
Best movie of the year!
28 November 2021
For a person that saw the original in the theater when it first came out, I'm very pleased at how this movie turned out. Very true to the original story line without sacrificing or pandering to social groups. This proves that in today's world a good movie can still be made from when the original source material is over 35 years old.
Macaulay Culkin steals the show
28 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Mac plays a gay transient male prostitute and it's hilarious. I've watched that scene over and over again and his manorisms are so nonchalant you'd think he's been doing this sort of thing his whole life. The rest of the show is kinda boring and the whole vampire theme is so campy but I've watched since the first episode and see where this season goes.
F9: The Fast Saga
(2021)
A real comic book/cartoon/video game movie
1 August 2021
When I was a kid comic books and cartoons had insane over the top stunts, unreal physics, cars could jump over cliffs, race across broken bridges, people could have super human strength and super magnets could pull down entire buildings. People could mysteriously escape a fiery death and shoot a car into space without so much as a scratch and I lived reading about it. So why should it be different in this movie? It's all about perspective! If you go into this movie thinking it's serious you are going to be disappointed. If you go thinking it's going to be like a cartoon it's going to be fun and cartoons should be fun!
Sexy Beasts

Drivel
24 July 2021
I thought I'd waste some time watching this and can truly say that this show is mind numbingly dull and very predictable. No matter how much they pretend to "get to know each other" after the makeup and prosthetics come off the contestants revert back to their very superficial and shallow selves.
Star Wars Biomes

Cure for insomnia
10 May 2021
If you are having trouble falling asleep put this on and the ultra slow pace and ambient background noise will knock you right out. I had to fight my eyes from closing for all of the painstakingly long 18 minutes. I do agree with other reviews that this should be played on a loop in stores that sell huge widescreen TV's I think that is where this would have any benefit or as a screensaver otherwise you should watch it on 3x playback speed.
Light-hearted comedy
6 May 2021
This episode brings back the comedy stylings from the first season that got me to start watching this show. The parody nature of this episode of this for comedy and not to be taken seriously. I think Nadia Alexander that play Frupa did an amazing job and she had me laughing with her over the top accent and mannerisms. We finally get a break from the long drawn out soap opera style drama and get to have a light hearted comedy.
Batman: Soul of the Dragon
(2021)
Sam Liu does it again!
17 January 2021
If there was anybody that could honor the great legend Dennis O'neil of the DC comic book universe, its Sam! This movie is a tribute to his legacy, to that of the films of the 70s such as James Bond, Bruce Lee, and Shaft. To those crying about how there wasn't enough Batman in this movie, that's because there was no Batman movies made in the 70s. So this is true to form. It was actually Dennis who keep the story of Batman alive during that time with his comic book writing to which we wouldn't have Batman movies today! So to those who blindly whine about something they obviously know nothing about, show some respect and do some research before you go opening up your uninformed mouths.
Widow's Point

I can't believe I watched the whole thing
3 January 2021
Growing up, I would watch bad movies, it was fun. I would get a kick out of how bad they were and some of those bad movies are now considered cult classics. But this one is irredeemable. The scene at the end of the movie looks like it was made on a home computer from the early 90s. The best part of the whole movie is when Rosa takes off her shoes.
Faith in Star Wars restored!
21 December 2020
Ive never felt such emotion for a TV series ever before. Magically I was transported back to my childhood when I first saw the original Star Wars in the movie theater. Over the years my faith in Star Wars had faded, but this episode has brought it all back!
Animaniacs
(2020–2023)
Needs more substance
16 December 2020
Upon hearing the news that one of my childhood animated shows was going to be rebooted. I was excited and anxiously awaited it's return only to be let down and disappointed by it's neutered and emasculated storylines and the absence of some of its funniest characters. What gave the original series is comedic flare and variety is now lost. Hopefully the second season will be better.
I Can See Your Voice

Prejudice, biased, and stereotypical
25 September 2020
The word prejudice means to pre judge somebody and this is the whole premise of this show. The contestant is supposed to use their bias to pre judge the players in the show to determine if they can sing or not. In this day and age when we as a society fight so hard to dismiss prejudice, bias, and classifying people in stereotypical roles. This show not only promotes these behaviors but rewards the contestant in using them. Add a two bit hack host, has-been panelists, a fake studio audience with canned laughter and applause and you get this abomination of a show. Terrible.
Pets United
(2019)
Brain went numb after 5 mins
16 September 2020
This movie has absolutely no redeeming moments. No good parts, the most boring and useless hour and a half you'll ever spend. Watching paint dry or grass grow would be a better use of time. What Rodger leaves in front of the door to distract the robot doorman sums this movie up exactly.
Love is a weakness
5 July 2020
A lot of people will call this a bad episode but its actually good because it dives deep into the human subconscious. A place that many people keep locked up in their minds and don't want to explore because it contains many painful emotional memories. Love is the one emotion that can strip us of our strength, of our logic, of our intelligence. Many people will do or say anything to have the smallest glimpse or taste of what true love is that we will abandon everything to have it. I liked this episode because I can relate, shamefully more than once.
The Invisible Man
(I) (2020)
Worst movie of 2020
6 April 2020
I'm so disapointed in this movie. What I thought would be a good suspense thriller turned out to be a horrible mess of plot holes, bad story telling and even worse acting. Something so out of place and ill conceived it was hard to watch at times. I knew I should have turned it off after the first 15 mins but I kept hoping it would get better but it just kept getting worse and worse. If this movie was shown in theaters, it would have been removed after one week.
So absolutely terrible it gave me a headache!
9 September 2019
I've watched many bad movies. Some are not really bad they are just panned by the critics but this movie is so bad, so terrible, so poorly made and acted that I wanted to gouge my eyes out and throw myself off a ten story building! It is the worst of the worst. Giving this waste a one star is far too kind and generous. You would have a better time sticking your hand in a running lawn mower blade than watching this.
Sukiyaki Western Django

12 yr old boy on LSD
18 November 2008
This movie is like what you get when you strap a 12 yr old boy to a chair,pump him full of LSD and every other hallucinogenic drug, cut off his eye lids and sit him in front of an old 1970s TV set that plays nothing but Japanese samurai,yakuza,anime and old American and spaghetti western gun slinger movies. then in his drug induced rantings, have Quentin Tarantino transcribe this jiberish and team up with the worst or should I say "most controversial" Japanese film director to put it on the screen. Hire a bunch of Japanese actors that can hardly speak English and when they do, have such a strained looked on their face like they are trying to pass a kidney stone.The first five minutes of this movie is so bad, that what follows could only be worst, and it exceeded this with flying colors.I don't know what compelled me to agonizingly sit through the whole movie,but while I was watching it go from bad to worst to utterly horrid, it actually became comical, it was so bad that it went full circle.avoid at all costs.
Notes on a Scandal
(2006)
This is how a movie is supposed to be made!
20 April 2007
This movie is absolutely brilliant,well thought out, superbly cast and acted.Judi Dench plays the most fantastic role of her entire career.So deep is her character that you would almost think that this is how she is in real life. Cate Blanchett is an amazing actress, her depth brings new meaning to the word "Actress". Bill Nighy is, as always, great in every way and in every role he plays in. This is how movies should be made.I extremely enjoyed this movie in every aspect. A must see for fans of Judi, Cate, Bill or just people who long to see a award winning great movie that will refresh and renew your hopes that there are still good movies out there to be seen. 10+++ and 5 stars!
Apocalypto
(2006)
not as good a "Passion" but still a powerful movie
9 December 2006
This movie marks the second movie by screen legend Mel Gibson that is entirely shot in the native language of the time the movie takes place. first being "The Passion of the Christ" in Aramaic and this movie being in Mayan.This movie is beautifully shot and skillfully made to lure the audience in and make them feel as they are part of the movie location and not just a person sitting in a squeaky old chair of a sticky floored movie theater starring at a screen.While as powerful and spell binding this movie might be, I feel more of a person connection to "passion" that I do to this film, mainly because of my religious background and up bringing.

Technophobes Rejoice!
11 August 2006
Warning: Spoilers
This movie was dull and boring and as bad as the original Japanese version. when I went to see it, there was at most a small handful of people in the theater seats and this was on a Friday night! The plot and storyline for this movie is so far fetched and stretches so far that your eyes glaze over, your mind goes numb and you slump in your seat from sheer boredom. This movie looked like a hacker computer movie, a bad Japanese horror movie remake and a end of the world movie all mixed in one, throw in bad actors, dark muted colors and an occasional quick jump scare and you got this mess.Save your time and money and do something worthwhile and fun.
Lady in the Water
(2006)
M.Night has done it again!
21 July 2006
Master storyteller M. Night Shyamalan wows us once again with "Lady in the Water" this wonderful movie is a delightful change to the boring hum drum movies that have been coming out lately. This movie is genuinely scary, not in the tired old an ax murderer,mutant,terrorist or crazy killer coming to get you scary. but really jump out your seat get chills that run down your spine scary.Bryce Dallas Howard who Plays the character of Story gives an excellent performance. you will notice right away that she was the blind girl from M.Nights other truly excellent movie "The Village".Paul Giamatti who plays the main character of Cleveland Heep also gives an award winning performance as the apartment maintenance man and Storys caretaker. If your tired of wasting your money on average run of the mill cookie cutter movies and looking for something that will both scary and delight you then you must see this movie. 10++ all around.
Cars
(2006)
best Pixar movie since Toy Story
10 June 2006
upon entering the theater I wasn't expecting anything wow and big from pixar since the last few movies they made really didn't hit it off with me. But I Love "Cars"!! its the best movie that pixar has created in a long long time. Not since the early days of "Toy Story" have I enjoyed a Pixar movie so much that I wanted to write a comment about it. This movie is fantastic! It has everything you could ever want in a movie plus a whole lot more. The team over at Pixar really went over and beyond with this movie and all that hard work really shows.although the gags references and storyline are more for the adults than the kids, I still would recommend this movie to absolutely everybody. 10++++
