The Hateful Eight (2015)
Thank you the truth always hurts...
This film kept me locked into my chair trying to keep up with the awesome writing and story line. I can't understand how anyone could not say this is life! Sorry so many other viewers literally hated this 7.9 plus movie, but I think its due to that great line..."the truth always hurts". The Civil War did rip this country apart but at the same time it also brought it together to be even stronger than before. And Abraham Lincoln had to lead this affair against all odds. This movie depicts not only that struggle but what happened after the final battle and surrender. Keeping that in mind combined with a great murder plot Mr.Tarantino excels in bringing it all together on the screen. Thanks for another great movie!
Cowboys & Aliens (2011)
Reality sometimes comes at a cost...
This was a concept film that was put together with science, reality and culture all in one. It does sometimes hurt apparently to see reality with some viewers who only want James Bond/Indiana Jones/John Wayne as a starting point to what reality is.
But wake up the producers did a fantastic job combining all the aspects to entertainment and reality and combined it a dose of human/alien nature. See the use of taking what would be a Western and introduce a new angle sideways that not only could have but most likely has occurred. Yet the recording devices of the past couldn't hold a candle...literally to the 20th centuries digital world. So, what better to introduce it than by folklore and the telling of a tale. The director here did just that with a story told that just happened to combine the best of mankind in all of its forms. The good that can do bad, the bad that does good and the coming together to accomplish the impossible.
And as I mentioned earlier the truth does sometimes hurt.
Volunteers (1985)
Great comedy with an interwoven plot about politics from 1962...
Come on Hanks, Candy, and the entire cast couldn't have been picked better than they were to represent America and the Communists from 1962. The story includes greed, charity, companionship, technology and true love. Get with it this is a GREAT Flick that deserves a higher rating that shows it all and includes great comedic writing on top! It is important for everyone to see the workings of capitalism through drugs and get a handle on where it is sourced from and where the profits eventually end up. Here Hanks takes a snobbish wealthy no good selfish student whose life was going no where through gambling debts and re- routes his talents for making friends and creates a whole new life. It's a clean humorous yet still interesting view on America in the early 60's and yet it's closer to reality than some people are probably going to accept. Let's not forget John Candy once again in a role that really suited him in every possible aspect in culture and time.
Gone Girl (2014)
For real are you kidding...
I cannot believe this movie is getting such high reviews when it is a real downer on our lives that Hollywood now produces mainstream films that should be listed as X- Rated. And worst of all even knowing that it is worth viewing the entire movie to the last minute I will give them that, but it is by all means a real let down on society that we have to simply accept the ending. The film industry used to produce movies that were both classy and intellectually driven. This movie tears it all down and delivers a punch of reality not wanting to see or even know of. My only question is...will there be a Gone Guy to follow anytime soon?
RED (2010)
Awesome-Clean-Humorous
Excellent movie maybe to some has a slow start but the action never stops with a humorous take on the entire process. I was happier than I ever expected and entertained at the same time. Thank the producers for using the "old timers" like Malkovich/Freeman/Mirren but an especially huge and very grateful thanks for seeing Ernest Borgnine alive and well and performing in his old age!!!!!
The movie was considerate of how people were detained so to speak and yet at the same time with a bit of a giggle in the process. Great job Bruce and John I can't wait for the second and hopefully third servings of a great cast at work!
Favorite quote: "that's right OLD MAN"!!
