Good Movie for what it was. NOT the Manga or Anime but good.
3 January 2024
People are giving this movie reviews based on the Manga and Anime, that is NOT what this movie is. Taking that out of the equation, this movie was pretty good based off a movie for kids. The big distractor was the Fire Tribe which was overly eccentric, and the CGI was horrible overall.

The kid that played Aang performed very well. Overall, the martial arts are well done. Again, you have to take the fact that this is pretty much based on the Name and characters ONLY.

Given when this was produced, this was well made for what it was, and people seem to forget that this is to entertain and NOT a LITERAL INTERPRETATION of the Manga/Anime.

Good clean movie for the FAMILY to watch. NOT adults that want to create a literal interpretation of their childhood obsession of a cartoon or the Manga. People seem to of forgotten that this is for KIDS to enjoy. For that, it was great and as a result, we enjoyed it as a FAMILY.

The Village (2004)
5/10
Best/Worst Movie of all time. Starts great but ends in disaster.
3 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
This is the best movie of all time for the first 30 to 45 minutes and then, it's all downhill from there. This could've been the best horror movie ever, but they bombed it. Not to give anything away but the box/chests of Memory killed the movie. It was so great and then they explain everything away.

Basically, the movie is about people hiding for their past and the village was created in order to protect themselves from an evil presence that is beyond the trees. However, things are not what are seen and due to their ignorance, they end up with a total disaster that they created. Any more give the entire movie away.

Had it not been for the second half of the movie, this would've been great. You will probably hate the rest of the movie as much as we did. Shame for it had such great potential. Ended up killing a great movie. What a shame.

One of my favorite movies of all time. Exceptionally well done.
3 January 2024
This was one of the best movies that's been produced in the 21st Century. Even though it was done in the early 2000's, it was exception. The special effects were great, who doesn't love a good canon fight, and the storyline was great.

One of Russell Crowe's best performances. Actually, all the actors played their parts well. They did great. One of the best portrayed time pieces ever done.

You have a great storyline with a good character development and the ships were all exceptional. This had lots of action, drama and suspense. The architecture of the ships was extremely well done, and the mindset of the captains were well portrayed, the science of the expeditions on the uncharted island and friendship of the boy losing his arm but learning to overcome the disability were great and they even used proper astronavigation studies are well done. Basically, they accurately portrayed pretty much every aspect of a ship's crew at all levels.

Exceptional, moving and exciting. Highly recommend.

Black Adam (2022)
2/10
Bland, Monotone, nothing but bad CGI and a single emotion.
3 January 2024
I wanted to like this movie but this movie BOMBED. Sure, lots of action alright provided you can get past the horrible CGI and people running in place. Lacks emotion and they crammed too much to make an action movie without much of a storyline and bland plot.

The CGI is something that I couldn't get past. If I wanted to watch people run in place I would go to the gym. The kid did okay but the movie was really just explosions and destruction, and did I mention, IT'S ALL HORRIBLE CGI? Apologize but it's that bad.

Pretty sad for Dwayne Johnson. They needed to have some humor in it. It seems like it's a 10 hour movie because of not having much of a storyline. Some action movies can be great is they have something, anything to go with it, you know, humor, drama, horror, anything but nope, just a monotone single emotion movie. This movie bombed bigtime.

Interesting and decent morals but Santa's a jerk. Dated Animation.
3 January 2024
This had great potential but was a big turnoff overall. Santa is a total jerk in this movie. They managed to make you hate Santa. Santa is at the end of his reign and the bylaws of Santa require him to pick the next Santa Clause. The requirements are a boy that's an Orphan and completely Pure of Heart. The kid that becomes Santa's Apprentice is completely unsure of himself for he's always been told he's a failure and will amount to nothing despite having a heart of gold. Santa does nothing to really encourage him. This is where they blew it. Well, the alien like Elves do nothing to help matters.

Basically you have Santa that has a limited amount of time to pick his future replacement and wants nothing to do with it. He wants to stay in his position and wants to stay Santa regardless of the rules. As long as his apprentice is pathetic and can't perform the job, then he will stay Santa regardless. Santa's plagued with nightmares regarding his replacement, thus, he takes it out on the boy.

Overall it's not horrible but due to it's dated animation style and the portrayal of Santa, even the kids will say what they think of Santa and Jerk is a very polite way of describing him. Decent moral overall in maintaining selflessness and purity of heart but they shouldn't have portrayed Santa in this way. Slow to get to the morals of the movie but could've been better.

Must Be Santa (1999 TV Movie)
3/10
Decent Moral Story but falls short. Not horrible but not good either.
3 January 2024
This was kind of a mixed movie. It's a bit slow, dull and does have some curse words in it but nothing horrible and subtle. Still, cursing adds nothing to a movie.

On the plus side, the movie has a fairly decent set of morals, faith, redemption and forgiveness. The kids played their parts fairly well and the plot wasn't bad. It was a bit slow though. You have a man that escaped prison/jail, wants to see his daughter and steals a bear/stuffed animal, and while running away, interrupts the transference of Santa Clause and they proceed to try to undo it. Santa is suffering from dementia and is dying but not dying. His spirt lives on. As for the elves, they're children that have died and the north pole is sorta a Heaven of sorts. In the movie, a dull blue Heaven and Angles make up the rest in operating the North Pole and being care givers/takers.

The morals were good and things work out for the best but it is rather slow and dull. What I mean in Dull is most of the movie is in a dull blue hue. The acting isn't the greatest and could of been better for a lot of the effects are very low budget but this does involve faith, redemption and forgiveness. Some things could of been done without or at least a little more colorful/vibrant.

Not bad but not great. Probably not great for young kids but older kids might like it more. Younger kids will probably get bored.

Santaman (2022)
1/10
What a Trian Wreck. Weird, Slow, Poorly Done, everything but good.
3 January 2024
Not sure what the writers were going for let alone the makers of the movie. You have a demon/zombie like reindeer, an evil elf that wants to destroy the North Pole and end Santa, an evil energy guru that wants to melt the North Pole and destroy Santa, jerky animation and poor lip syncing, making it look more like a Japanese or Chinese movie Dubed in English, multiple plots that don't really go together and the kids got bored within the first 5 minutes. The whole thing comes across and alien, cheap and very weird. Santa kinda hates himself, Christmas is Pointless, and Santa is pretty much hated so he creates Santa-Man in order to change the world. He's a pretty pathetic "superhero" and fails miserably from the start. Only when two kids running away from a bully and stow away on his sleigh, then things start to improve. You have an evil guru that has a goal of causing global warming in order to melt the North Pole to get back at Santa via a NON-Clean Coal-Clean-Coal power plant. Then you have an evil elf with a, well, not sure what the heck it was, but turned Coal into Super-Dirty "Clean Coal" that's 1,000x dirtier that super duper dirty coal.

Had potential but fails miserably. Did they want to have a story regarding making a world a better place by stopping crime, people redeeming themselves, a better environment, belief and faith, there's so many subplots that make for a confusing and boring movie that kids and adults alike will hate. Animation is horrible, voiceover is even worse and the plot/plots are even worse that that.

Save Yourself and your family from watching this horrible vomit of a movie.

Such a horrible Storyline and even worse Acting. Save your time.
18 December 2023
I like lightning and storms but this movie bombed in every way. This should probably be rated a 1 but I give it a 2 for effort. Lots of explosions and things burning but soooooo many errors and just stupidity on the characters. Could of been worse but barely. You have three things in this movie, Hysterics, Monotone Emotions and things blowing up that wouldn't happen in reality not to mention the stupidity.

This has a lot of people just standing and or waiting for the something to happen. Lots of inaction or just stupid actions. You have two storms that are converging on a town while the areas around it are getting hit as well yet nobody does anything but a teen that's obsessed with storms and even that is much of nothing but sending a warning by setting of the towns storm sirens when it's too late.

You would of expected this from a movie from the 50's or 60's but for 2001, this bombed in every way. The special effects were lights and explosions when things would melt rather than explode and if this amount of electricity kept hitting the power grid, the relay stations would've blown. This is a 100 year storm that supposedly has the potential to last forever if something isn't done to stop it. That something, blowing up a fuel depot in the hopes of heat breaking the storm.

Not sure who they were trying to reach but this, besides watching things go boom, was grueling to watch. You even had some great actors that had potential but nope, even they bombed. You have the screamers and the rest were so monotone it was boring to watch. Save yourself the time and just watch something, anything else.

I Am Mother (2019)
4/10
Interesting and well done overall but long and predictable.
18 December 2023
It's an entertaining movie and interesting storyline. Overall, it's well done but long, drawn out and predictable. This makes it a bit disappointing. Half of the family stuck with it while the rest of left due to boredom and being uninterested.

Basically, you have a Mother that's a robot and a child the Daughter. Mother raises Daughter to be the best human possible. Only then can she be introduced to her next family member.

The special effects were good, the plot was interesting and the actors performed well enough but certain aspects in the plot were rather pointless and could of done better and things were just too drawn out. With such a slow plot, I can see why half the family lost interest.

The problem with raising just one child to be the best adult is that if you have the ability for mankind to survive you have to have other members of mankind. This made the premise of the plot contradicting and Mother being of higher intelligence, really pointless in a way. Why try to raise a perfect human being for survival of a species if you're not going to have any other of the species?

So, it was an interesting movie but slow, drawn out and could of been better with some adjustments of the final plot.

Interesting Interpretation but animation style gets creepy.
18 December 2023
Not a bad interpretation of A Christmas Carol and parts of the animation were great but then parts were rather creepy in a bad way and I don't mean the Ghosts/Spirits. Especially the children. You have great realism in parts and then AI type demon children. Strange way to make a movie. As for the dialog, kinda boring and parts of the spirits were either to vague to hear or just annoying.

Jim Carrey performed okay but it's rather monotone overall. Same goes with the spirits. The movie was visually appealing but the tone was rather plain and could of been better. It's like you have one emotion and one emotion only throughout the movie. I think they were trying to go with a literal interpretation of A Christmas Carol but could of been better if not for the weird animation style and lack of overall emotion throughout the movie. Even the transformation comes across as unnatural and forced.

Not a bad movie but could of been better.

Smile (V) (2022)
3/10
Eh, different but easily lost interest and was boring overall.
18 December 2023
Basis, is simple, people see a smile and then are haunted by a smile that eventually has them kill themselves in front of somebody and the cycle of suicide continues because that person sees a smile. So you have a demon smile. Could of been interesting but all actions are illogical and overly obvious on what to do yet isn't done.

Because of this, the movie is rather slow to develop and we lost interest. We had to rewind it multiple times because the movie was so uneventful or uninteresting that we found ourselves zoning out.

Starts out with a mother who OD'd and her daughter becomes a psychiatrist in a mental hospital. She has one patient who is an older man who keeps rambling that he and everyone else for that matter is going to die. Then another female comes in freaks out because she keeps seeing a smile that's evil and only she can see. Despite being dragged on the floor and strangled the doctor is clueless and then the rabbit hole of the Smile begins.

It could of been better but the movie is basically nothing but hysterics with a dash of horror towards then end. The beginning started with great potential and then it bombed. Overly predictable but the individuals playing their hysteric roles performed well of crazies but that's it. That's where the good ends.

Our expectations started low for this movie but with the first 15 minutes we thought this might be fairly good but after 20 minutes into it, it went down hill from there.

The Toybox (2018)
1/10
Boring, Bad Acting and Horrible Plot. The RV is a Serial Killer.
18 December 2023
This had potential but nope, they blew it. To save you time, RV is a serial killer and kills everyone, THE END. Starts out with an evil RV killing a 13 year old boy and ends with an evil RV killing people. What's not to love. It starts out bad when the family gets into the RV and fails to notice that a bike is in the middle of their walkway and right in front of the blasted thing while the mother of the boy comes buy and asks if they've seen her son and oblivious to any and everything around them. This is the beginning of the disaster.

You have a family, well a father with 2 adult children, one married with a young girl and the other a single pothead. They hate each other and don't want to go on this trip. They bring no food or water and head off into the desert. Great plan. Despite previously being a crime scene, the RV magically cleans up all the blood and gore and somehow everyone misses all the evidence. Go figure.

They really had to go out of their way to find a cast this pathetic and clueless. They pick up two people on the side of the road. Then the killing starts. Takes them to crash before they realize they have no food or water and keep going to a fridge that has molded food and what maybe bottles of urine and things of unknown nature and yet, they keep going to it. Also, the young mother prepares food at the beginning but it just appears and then disappears.

No need to go into anything deeper because it is pointless in trying to explain this trainwreck of a movie. The whole script was probably written by two drug addicts that during a bender, said "Hey, Lets make a Movie about a Serial Killer, great man, but wait, lets make it a serial killer that's a RV. Yeah man, SWEET." That's how this brainchild was born, no other explanation could exist.

PLEASE GOD, MAKE IT END........ Anything but entertaining.
14 December 2023
This was soooooo grueling to watch for it never ends. It just keeps going and going and going, it's soooo freaking slow. Surprised with a lot of things they were able to get away with this movie even for the 70's. The plot is weak and very drawn out. Basically, it's about serfs and their masters, Communists and Socialists. Pretty much the same thing either way that ends in disaster. The only crowed this was probably meant to please is artistic idiocracy and anyone wanting to push the boundaries in combining, or attempting to combine, art, entertainment and pornography to make a piece of entertainment that you wish would end because it is so freaking boring you want to gouge your eyes out and end it like the master does at the very beginning. The movie starts out bad with peasants killing an elder couple and then a master who is insane killing himself. Then the greed of the family starts and you have two boys who were born on the same day growing up in two different worlds who both hate and love each other in a weird way. This has all you could want in a movie, rape, molestation, pornography and a really, really bad plot. Save yourself from wasting your life trying to watch this movie, for you'll never get the time back.

Good Boys (2019)
1/10
10 years ago this would be corruption of a minor at best.
14 December 2023
Nothing like watching prepubescent kids cursing worse than a group of sailors who have been at sea for 2 years and arriving at the nearest brothel and playing with sex toys, buying drugs and being the most pathetic group of kids on the face of the planet. Okay, so say they really are 12, I don't know of a single 12 year old child that doesn't know how to open a bottle or do a simple Google Search. No, these kids are portrayed as not even being able to go to the bathroom by themselves without help from an adult. 10 years ago, giving kids sex toys to play with would of been illegal. Then you have the countless number of bloopers, more like purposely making a movie as horrible as possible, such as a paintball gun without an Air Cylinder, poor greenscreen graphics and the disgusting things these kids do like kissing a suppose CPR Doll with pubic hair in the mouth. Parents caring nothing for their children and basically doing any and everything they want without consequences such threating to kill a mall employee, trapping a police officer in a corner store with a sex toy or any of the other number of things they do with sex toys. Then the fact you have to listen to these kids saying how horny they are and how they want to go to a kissing party yet know nothing about kissing. So, what do they do, they search for pornography instead. If any child over 5 can do a basic google search for a specific subject, then these kids should be able to too. Want to know about dinos, you google dinos, want to know about plants you google plants but want to know about kissing, they search for pornography, yet they can search for a drone and find who has a specific drone in stock, or about a specific drug or even how to reset a dislocated shoulder, but can't figure out the obvious? Then you have all the pointless crying scenes that makes you hate these kids that much more for being so pathetic. This movie was painfully grueling to watch, and you just want to end it, so you don't have to watch another second of it. How people like this movie is beyond me.

Hate Musicals but love Zombies, Great Spoof and Liked it.
14 February 2023
Okay, first off, I REALLY REALLY HATE MUSCIALS. However, I actually liked this. Probably in part because it was violent, gory and totally ridiculous. Yep, a horrible movie with kids singing about killing zombies. There were sooooooo many things wrong with this movie that had it probably not been for teens/young adults singing about killing zombies, would of been a horrible movie. I do have to say that the singing was catchy and hilarious at times. The more you watch, the more you like the movie. Now, this is sort of a combination of a comedy/musical/horror/spoof/romance movie. So it has something that pretty much everyone can enjoy, well, probably not kids but this isn't geared towards kids anyways. This movie was soooooooo over the top, however, that's part of what made it great. It pretty much has every cliche that you can imagine. Full of stupidity, over the top killing that makes it hilarious, the pathetic puppylove romance, the jocks, the evil principal and of course the zombies. Leave it up to the Brits to make a Musical Zombie Movie.

How could anyone like this movie? Plot is Horrid.
14 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I really don't see how anyone could like this movie. The plot is horrible and the acting is even worse. The highlight of the movie was seeing footage of the B-52's flying. That's where the good ends. All in all it's about 8 minutes total. Watching a movie about a nuclear war should be interesting, instead, this is written and performed like a low budget porno and there's parts that are, a low budget porno. You have a psycho general, a sex addict general, his stupid bimbos, a supposed Nazi that now works for the US but has a phony accent and even worse dialog, and the list of this horrid trainwreck goes on. Let's start with the Nazi turned US Scientist, he's in a wheelchair, has a prosthetic arm that seems to be preprogramed to the Nazi Salute, has the worst excuse of a German accent I've ever heard and his dialog sounds about the same as a train colliding with a tanker truck with about the same outcome. Then you have the psychotic general, his acting is slightly better but his whole excuse of his actions is regarding fluorination of water as his excuse of nuking the world. Now, a common thread is that Fluorination was used by the Nazis and then Communist USSR as a tool for sterilization. As a result, he starts a Nuclear War with the USSR and as a result, well, it's all downhill from there. What's stupid about everyone else in the movie is that everyone could've stopped this easily enough by NOT listening to the clearly psycho general. DUH! I won't spoil this trainwreck of a movie anymore, for who knows, you might want to watch one of the worst movies of the century and kill a few braincells in the process and waste an hour and 35 minutes of your life.

OMG, such a horrible movie. Would of been watchable if animated.
7 February 2022
The acting, dialog and plot is horrible, beyond horrible. Had they animated it, it would of been okay. The CGI is pathetic. The General was just too much but typical over the top character. You can tell this was a super low budget movie. The acting is pretty pathetic and you have lots of military crisscrossing of the same room just repeated and what looks like laser pointers across your screen or worse, a CGI light stream that looks more like what a 2 year old would do what a strip of paper or yarn as a prop. You will hate the ending for it's dumb and cheesy. This had potential too. Just pass on this movie if you come across it for you will want that portion of your life back. Not even worth describing the plot. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.

This is a love/hate Movie. Starts out great but quickly falls apart.
7 February 2022
The first couple of tales are interesting but each abruptly end but parts pick back up but not really........ It's weird. The whole film is a series of short stories from different parts of the world in the same disaster time frame of about 10 years. Some of the stories correlate and seem to pick up but are different? Not sure how to explain this one. The Creature of the first story, though you never truly see it up close, is very well done. The creep factor is great. You have a solo survivor that is prepared to take his own life rather than face what is out there, the creature that you never truly see.

Then you have the Child given to a soldier in order to send her to safety where medicines are available to treat her infection. The safe haven is a floating city. The weapon aspect, what looks like regular guns shoot an energy source which is pretty cool and the actors perform well but this sorta ends but picks back up as if a separate story but not? This is where it falls apart and goes from there.

The other stories really aren't worth going over for they're so stupid it's unreal. For survival instincts should tell you that you shouldn't do what you're doing. DUH!

Could be better but it held your interests to a point. A lot left undone.

Rapture (II) (2019)
3/10
I can see the shock factor they were going for but this?
7 February 2022
They missed the mark on so many levels with this movie let alone trying to justify the biblical aspect of it all. Don't expect this to be based on the Bible for they may have gotten a few ideas but totally missed the mark. With that being said, it was an interesting movie just to see where they were going with this. Sadly you'll be very disappointed if you were expecting to experience something truly based on Scripture of the Rapture. They tried too hard on some aspects then just went wild with the script. Too many things didn't add up or even come together. You have the "Robed Glowing Humanoids", same but different "Geist Like Creatures", the Black Voids that shoot lightning to incinerate humans to a stone distorted pile of goo, the Glowing things Vaporizing people including Children and some that do nothing but hurt if you look at them. It had its entertainment value but it was just weird and the acting was atrocious. Not sure what they were going for, for this would of been better as an apocalyptic film rather than a distorted Biblical Film.

Not the worst movie ever but it's pretty bad. Overly Obvious and cheap.
7 February 2022
I've seen worse acting but this is pretty bad. Horrible Special Effects and the plot is so predictable it becomes rather boring for the stupidity of the obvious is beyond comprehension. You have a guy that's narrating the plot who is the same guy you know from the beginning that he's evil. The first 5 minutes are pretty good but then it falls to pieces and becomes one train wreck after another. You have a Game Creator that's created a couple of FPS's. The guy is a total A-Hole and steals ideas from everyone else yet does little to nothing himself. As a result, he's made enemies and his "Friends" start dying one by one while he's being investigated himself for the crimes. Thus you have the movie. You hate every character in this movie and the stupidity of the characters makes you wish they would die sooner than later just to get it over with. Regardless, the fact that everyone is oblivious to their new employee is pretty pathetic. Don't waste your time on this super low budget movie.

LeBron: A Loony Toon Love Fest: should be the title of this movie.
6 January 2022
NOT SPACE JAM. Everything about this movie is wrong from the title on. The first Hour is nothing more than making LeBron James a god, the king of basketball. Look, LeBron James may be a good basketball player but he is by no means a king let alone the greatest. This movie is NOTHING compared to the Original Space Jam with Michael Jordan. First off, it has NOTHING to do with space. It's the interweb, or more accurately, a Warner Bros.'s Server that's connected to the internet and has a very powerful AI system known as AL-G- Rhythm or something like that. Lebron James wants his kids to excel in basketball and thus, must work for it at all cost. In other words, all work and no play regardless of how unhappy it makes his family. Basketball is everything and the ONLY thing. His youngest son would rather create video games and go to a video gaming creation camp but LeBron has other plans to send him to basketball camp. His youngest created a Basketball Video Game and has scanned players using a software program on his phone. Though while showing his dad the game crashes and Dom (Lebron's Son), loses his character. WB's Studio's AI comes up with an idea for LeBron James to.join the studio but LeBron has other ideas. This ticks off Al and so Al kidnaps Dom and the movie begins.

Okay, actually the movie has been playing for an hour with nothing really happening. The Loony Toons are cameo's in mostly really bad movies like Mad Max. This really is more about WB's trying to put a bunch of old movies that they've made and splice them into the Loony Toons with an Hour and 20 minutes dedicated to worshiping LeBron James. You're sick of hearing LeBron James within the first 5 minutes of the movie. Kids were so bored and though this was so stupid they hated it. Even the cameo's of the different movies were horrible interpretations of them. Like The Mask, The Matrix, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and the list goes on. This is really horrible special effects and bad makeup of the recreation of characters.

If you think you must watch this movie, fast forward to the 1 hour and 20 minute mark and watch the last 30 minutes because nothing else is worth watching. Took us 4 days to finally get through it because after 15 to 20 minutes of watching we were all so bored we lost interest. This is a VERY LONG AND DRAWN OUT MOVIE. Pretty sad and LeBron is definitely NO MICHAEL JORDAN. It's very narcissistic and really makes you hate basketball. When the Toons end up playing in the game to save Dom, they do a weird cross between realistic and animated skin which is a lot like The New Loony Toons where everyone is deformed and cheap looking. In this case, OVERLY animated.

It finally had a decent moral but WB's totally missed the mark on this one and should change the name to "LeBron James: A Loony Toons' Love Fest.

A Quiet Place (2018)
5/10
Really Good Acting, good monsters/aliens but misses the mark.
3 January 2022
Overall they really missed the mark on what could of been a great horror movie. Unfortunately, what they miss is the obvious and because of this, it just makes for an okay movie with some jumps here and there.

The acting is really good across the board. They did an excellent job with matching the family. The Sign Language is all well done and the captions are great and easy to read. If you're familiar with ASL the captions might be annoying but we appreciated them. The creatures/monsters/assumed aliens, were all well done. They left the origin out and they really screwed up doing the first one last and the last one first for they should of reversed it. There was some really creative ways such as placing sand on the ground to walk on and walking barefoot. The box for the baby with the oxygen tank for when it's crying.

Now, what you don't see is any of the lead up to what has already taken place, yet see news papers, different forms of communication as to how to protect yourself yet nobody is left but dismembered bodies or shall I say, body parts? The creatures hunt by sound thus the "A Quiet Place" title. No sound and you stay alive, plain and simple right?

The climax is rather anti-climatic and they missed the obvious. I won't tell you what that is as to not spoil it. The ending is disappointing and they don't really fix this is the second one either. Could of been much better.

Pretty Good Family Movie, Funny and Good Animation.
3 January 2022
Funny, Witty, Entertaining and Well done. There were a few things that they could of done without such as the tattoo dude in his underwear. There are a few instances of innuendo that kids won't get but is funny for the adults. This was really well done for the most part and has a pretty good message of being yourself and using what you enjoy to become great as well as making your own destiny rather than trying to live other's destinies. This does have gambling and the underground in it, it also has tattooing and tattoo removal in it regarding a super-fan in his underwear, so if that's a big deal for you then don't watch. However, this is a good and clean family movie that was well done. It was funny, cute, heartwarming and entertaining. This is wrestling at its finest without the language and other obscenities as with "Real" wrestling. It was a surprise that we all enjoyed.

Let Him Go (2020)

Kevin Costner's worst film ever. He literally does nothing. A movie of inaction.
3 January 2022
Considering this movie is supposed to be about the Grandparents getting their Daughter and Grandson back from her new and abusive husband, they are pretty pathetic. Especially since Kevin Costner (George) is a former Lawman. George apparent has become a total pacifist and allows everyone to trample all over him including chopping off his hand/fingers. His wife, Margaret, isn't really any better. This is a very slow and very mundane movie where nothing happens for 90% of the movie. This is a great movie of inaction.

So, the movie is about George and Margaret loosing their son while he's riding a horse at the family farm. He ends up being bucked off and hits his head on a rock killing him instantly leaving his Wife and son behind. We don't know how but their daughter, Lorna, ends up marrying a man, Donnie Weboy, at the family farm. Next thing you know, Margaret sees Donnie hit both Lorna and the boy, Jimmy who is about 3. Margaret keeps this to herself until it is too late and Donnie leave with his family back to wherever he's from. Margaret finally tells George what he saw and they set off to find their Grandson and Daughter. The Weboy family is very tight night and pretty much are a bunch of inbreeds who have offspring, cousins, uncles, you name it, they are in it. Every encounter they have gets worse and worse. Margaret brings a gun on their trip but George is against guns and packs it away and separates the ammo from the gun. The Weboy Matriarch is all controlling and her sons do any and all of their bidding. What mamma says, goes period. She basically still has the umbilical cord attached. The dumbest part of this is the law siding with the Weboy family even when they broke into the hotel room and chop off George's hand/fingers. George has every opportunity to defend himself and Margaret but he basically takes it as a pathetic human that has no concept of evil or can even acknowledge that he is dealing with evil thus has to grow a spine and do something. Yeah, he's not that guy. Even the ending is pretty pathetic. George and Margaret a two of the most worthless humans imaginable.

Great Family movie especially for its time. Cinematography is Excellent for B&W.
26 March 2019
For a Film of 1951 this was very well done with decent special effects and excellent Cinematography. The detail is stunning for a Black and White Film. Acting was great and the characters weren't over the top. Yes, the special effects are basic but this is 1951 and for its time, were very good. This is a good storyline and certainly family friendly. Absolutely ZERO language or anything that would be considered bad. Overall I highly recommend this film for it was very enjoyable without any of the nonsense. If you appreciate detail you will appreciate the Cinematography of this film.
