Father Stu (2022)
Don't let the religion scare you away......
WoW ! This is the inspiring wildly true story , that has become a wonderfully great movie. Do not let it being about the Catholic religion , or any religion scare you away. I have no doubt that if it doesn't do well in ratings and as far as awards go ,it's because part of it is about religion ! This is a great movie , OSCAR winning performances.
I do not tell the story when I do a review, that is the movies job. But I do tell good and/or bad things about the movie. If you are reading this , you know who the stars are , you probably know a little of the plot, what you want to know is , is this movie worth your time ? YES YES ....This movie is worth your time. In fact It may be a movie that can change the way you see things , the way you feel about things. It has me wondering, if I have been too hasty about certain ideas. The acting and everything about this movie may have you questioning yourself. Anyone not enjoying this movie needs to do some introspection , because you don't have to believe or not believe to be entertained by good actors with a good true story. This movie is not only, not a waste of your time, it is a good healthy way to spend a little over 2 hours.
Paradox Lost (2021)
one , because there is no minus for a movie
There is not a minus for a movie you watch. So , i have to say some bad stuff Awful story, awful writing awful looking at it. All the while like when it gave ending credits at the beginning I knew that it was because the producers knew nobody would watch till the end to see the credits. I did watch till the end , but my wife did my wife did not. Oh and BTW writer , I may be the only person to know the last line by Rose was referring the whole deal to Stephen King. Does not help at all.
One reason I watched till the end was to see the end because of the terrific acting done by the two main actors. The Dad and especially the Son , However even the good acting by those two did not make the movie worth watching , nothing could BUT , it was enough to showcase the good acting of these two actors. So to the general public I say , do not waste your time. If you are looking for two good male actors for a movie you are making , you must watch the movie , because you just might want these two to try out for the part. The female lead wasn't too bad either. Just not much of her in the movie.
The World's End (2013)
Hang in there
Ok , I am not much of a critic or reviewer. I just found out I watched the last of a trilogy. Not going to tell the plot, or story. For sure not here to dazzle anyone with my , ahem , writing or synopsis skills. Am here for you who have not seen this movie. This has no bearing on the first two of the trilogy because I know absolutely nothing about them . I want to recommend the movie I did see. The World's End
If you are looking for a comedy with meaning , your reading about the right movie. BUT , after the first few minutes when the star has gotten his old friends together and they begin their adventure,you may begin to think WTF ? Should I even go on with this silliness? I almost gave up on it. But hang in there , you may like it after all.
It got a nine because it spite of the goofy parts it is still a winner. You get to know,and like, the characters,the idea's , the great acting , writing and cinematography. Nobody was going to get an Oscar for this movie (for all I know maybe they did) but it did have excellent acting by every single actor in this movie. The reason for recommending this movie is it all comes together , even with the mad-cap stuff , with all people doing such a good job,and it is quite unpredictable as well, that I feel no matter what kind of movie everyone involved would make , they combined , would make a success and would be worth the watch and entertain the audience. And that is what we watch a movie for.
They have a minimum of characters you must type here, or I could have simply said , go ahead and suffer through the goofy stuff ,really good acting, this is a movie that entertains and is worth the watch. It really lifted my spirits ! Not necessarily the ending , the whole adventure, and it was unexpected :)
Trading Places (1983)
Funny , and still relevant
Eddie and Dan and all the cast were great , you will laugh a lot. You will also learn about people. The writers have made it fun while still being realistic. It is so good it is tough not to tell you some things but I don't want to spoil it WATCH IT.
The Card Counter (2021)
Blank ...nothing to say about it.
If you value your precious time , don't give this another thought. Its not worth even just to see if I am right.
If they have minus stars I would have rated it from them.
The Wave (2019)
Hard to follow ...but worth a watch
It is in the unliked by me "new style" of making movies . I describe it wacky , wild crazy , BUT this one ,as hard as it is to follow , has a good story. They all tried to hide it ......but I found the story to be redeeming of all the many faults. I only gave it a six , but it is worth the watch , as long as you pretty much don't have anything else to do.
A good thing came out of my first review (this is my second), that i thought was a waste. It was so bad that it made me , take action and learn this site a little bit so I could warn you about it. And today this is my second review. I think it may be a good thing after all. At least it is for me. I am still saying don't waste your time .....even though it all worked out for me. *smiles*
