Fury
(2014)

Perhaps the best WW2 tank movie ever made.
The movie is marked by some very intense tank battles A great cast led by Brad Pitt lets you see and feel life in a tank during the funny, sad and horrific days of WW2. This is a must see for WW2 movie fans. I have seen it several times and highly recommend it to fans of the genre.

Saving Silverman
(2001)

Its a silly funny comedy with a great cast
This is a silly, slapstick,witty comedy. The all star cast is great which includes Neil Diamond. The funny musical scenes reflect the musical abilities of the cast. If you are a jack Black fans this is a must see. This could be his greatest screen performance. I have watched this film several times and recommend it often for anyone wanting to watch a lighthearted silly comedy.

FBoy Island
(2021)

If you like watching a slow motion train wreck
It is hysterical to see these delusional self absorbed plastic surgery victims get their dreams shattered when they try to find true love on a game show. It is crazy to see shallow women with caked on makeup, fake hair, and "enhanced" bodies call out guys for being fake. This show is not for everyone. It is not for anyone into tv that finds true love and inner beauty. The men have no business being in a relationship but are funny. A true dumpster fire.

90 Day Fiancé: Love in Paradise
(2021)

If you slow down at a car crash to look, you will like it.
Is it a drama? Comedy? Tragedy? It is a a crazy mix of desperate Americans (mostly women) claiming they found love while on vacation with a hookup. The show is about their delusional thought process on how they are going to turn their vacation fling into marriage. Most go against the advice of their realistic friends and family. The drama unfolds as they discover that the one night stand may not be a cornerstone for marriage. Cultural differences, language barriers, financial motives and sexuality all play into the attempt at finding love.

The Black Phone
(2021)

Unique creepy horror film. Well done Ethan Hawke!
A well done horror film with a unique spin. Glad to see creativity and risk takers in Hollywood rather than a bad sequel that ruins the original films reputation. Ethan Hawke is great in this role by making this creepy demon psycho killer seem very real. The brother and sister (Finney and Gwen) are great heros and are believable and likable.

Moonhaven
(2022)

doubt I will continue to watch this slow burn weird moon commune tv show
The visuals are great and the concept is ok. However, its a slow burn with low talking monotone characters. A strange creepy moon commune vs the "eathers" story. Its hard to follow because of the weird doublespeak and long dark scenes with no dialog. The script reminds me of a Shakespeare play and you have to pay close attention with the volume up to follow the plot. The trailer for the remainder of the season looks boring.

The Orville
(2017)

Now its about transgender aliens
Wow... this show is about a whole lot of stuff now. If you are looking for a show set in the far future to discuss todays social issues such as gender identity and transgender rights, then this show is for you. Space exploration and action adventure it is not. Seasons 1 1nd 2 gets a rating of 8. Season 3 gets a 2.

The Orville: A Tale of Two Topas
(2022)
Episode 5, Season 3

a show about being a transgender alien
Well the show is about a whole lot of stuff now. Trangenderism is now the main topic. I miss the exploration of space and action adventure of season 1 and 2.

The Tomorrow War
(2021)

Its an alien invasion movie.
One of the better alien invasion movies made. The time travel aspect has its flaws but the aliens are scary and the special effect are fantastic. If you are a sci-fi alien invasion genre fan its worth a watch. I will see it again and again.

Get Out
(2017)

Outstanding screenplay and direction by Jordon Peele
Fantastic creepy suspense horror flick. This my very well be Jordon Peeles greatest movie. The direction is superb. The cast played the excellent screenplay perfectly. The camera work is outstanding and gives the movie a weird creepy feel. Lil Rel Howrey gets a special note for an outstanding performance.

Django Unchained
(2012)

Great movie with outstanding performances and visuals
I have seen this movie 3 times and I like it more and more every time. Great performances by every character and Tarantino comes through with a great screenplay and vision. Camera work is outstanding and the visuals are fantastic. Special recognition has to go out to Leonardo DiCaprio as this could be his career best performance. This movie is for a mature audience members only and can be considered a top 5 modern western film.

The Man from Toronto
(2022)

It was sort of funny.. Not Kevins best
It was ok. I was the only one in the room that didnt fall asleep. I like Kevin Hart but not enough to watch this movie again. It was all over the place but never landed on laugh out loud funny.

Jurassic World Dominion
(2022)

But I thought cold blooded reptiles would die in the snow
So many holes in the script. Has Hollywood run out of ideas? Why do they keep making sequels to mediocre movies? They spent a fortune on this flick and this is the best they could do.... shame.

Naked and Afraid XL
(2015)

trish is a horrific person and lucky to be alive
Great show. Everyone later in the show does a great job at thriving in the amazon. They have great skill sand should be proud of their time on the show... except for trish. She is a horrible person that is filled with negativity. Trish has no skill, leeched off other team members and is lucky to be alive. She spent 5 days making a raised bed and ended up sleeping on a muddy floor. Special shame needs to go to Jeff for being a petty gossip and working with Trish to backstab Amber.

Naked and Afraid XL: Legendary Fail
(2022)
Episode 6, Season 8

shame on jeff
Trish and jenn are horrible team mates from day one. Trish the jersey b is especially harsh and unbearable. Jeff has always been obnoxious but in this episode he becomes an ass. He becomes a gossip and his plans to split up the group are dashed when he gets medically tapped. Amber deserves praise for holding her tongue after she overheard jeff, trish and jenn high school gossip antics. No respect for jeff anymore and trish is just trash.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
(2022)

its ok... maybe the 10 star reviews set me up
It was ok... just ok. I think it was the 9 and 10 star reviews that had me expecting more. Which makes me believe that Nick Cage and his family gave it 10 stars. Something about Mary was a funny film and it has 7 stars. No time to die gets a 7. Top Gun Maverick 8.6. Jaws 8.1. Raiders of the lost ark 8.4. So how a PERFECT 10? Or even a 9? It gets a 4 from me because I don't plan on watching it again.

The Man Who Fell to Earth
(2022)

I have seen 5 episodes and am getting bored.
I really got hooked on the first episode... great idea and script. However, with each episode I am less interested. Not sure where they are going and unless they pick up the pace they will lose me. Started out as an 8 but now it is a strong 4.

Night Sky
(2022)

Great characters but a slow burn.
I am a big fan of both actors and thats why I am giving it a chance. I have seen 4 episodes. A slow burn... very slow. Not sure where they are going with this and it is loosing my interest.

Katt Williams: World War III
(2022)

The audio was so bad I turned it off.
I am a big Katt fan and was really looking forward to this special. From the start the audio was messed up. Huge echo with some background noise made it difficult to understand. What I did hear was not that funny and I turned it off halfway through. Huge disappointment and shame on the audio mixer.

Emergency
(2022)

sort of funny then it got woke
What a shame... had a chance. Started out funny but then I felt scolded. Then it went from a scolding to a really sad depressing not funny part. After that I felt scolded again followed by a real sad ending. This movie is not a comedy. Shame on them not shame on me.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
(2022)

would be a 9 but it is a bit too woke
Captain Pike and Spock are great. The writing and script ideas are fantastic and keep with the idea that the show is about exploration. However, the majority of the crew are women. Lets be inclusive but lets also be realistic. This show is being held back by an agenda.

The Next Level
(2022)

If you like watching a train wreck.
This film boldly claims that except for the "enlightened believers" we are all slaves or free-range chickens being confined to a plantation exploited by a group of evil people. The flaw in the argument is that since we are slaves prevented from escaping there must be a promised land beyond the ice wall. The insulting part is that since I don't agree with the idea that I am a slave I am therefore an idiot. I am an idiot that can't comprehend the logic of their promised land. They insinuate that if I am not an idiot I am a member of this evil group that plans to destroy humanity. So why have they made this film? Do they want idiot slaves or evil tyrants to join them in their journey to the promised land?

Titanic 666
(2022)

Not up to Asylum standards.
Casting and costumes are strange. The captain looks like a stripper hired to look like a deckhand. A group of motley children were cast as the crew and the passengers are annoying. The ghost crew looks like the rejects from Michael Jackson's thriller video. Most Asylum flicks incorporate humor into an over the top action story but this is just boring.
