Surprisingly Enjoyable Throughout
20 March 2022
What do you rate a film that makes you laugh and cry and feel good at the end?

Fun for the whole family. Good for Netflix for finding great entertainment like this.

Some familiar faces and some new ones. Give this director some more good scripts, please.

True Family Fun that's Smart
20 March 2022
Nothing to insult your intelligence here like so many science fiction films today.

Fun dialogue, nice performances, and a solid story along with smart directing make this one worth watching.

More evidence of how much Chadwick Boseman will be missed
19 March 2022
Solid actioner with solvable puzzles and gripping characters, including good chases and shootouts.

Boseman, Miller, and Simmons make this movie well worth watching.

Stuber (2019)
7/10
Fun for all
20 February 2022
This is a legit funny movie. Sure, it's got some "check your brain at the door," but the interaction between the characters makes a lot forgivable. Kumail and Bautista keep this one going. 7/10.

Really enjoyed this one.

Really enjoyed this one. A bit slow to start, but the characters and performances triumph as the story comes together. Writing and directing A+. Family friendly. 7/10 Netflix.

Unthinkable (2010)
7/10
Worth watching despite how disturbing
24 December 2021
Super Intense. At times, difficult to watch. Samuel L Jackson surprised throughout. Carey Anne Miss brings a superior performance. Not a family pic. Asks who are we and the answers are disturbing. Worth watching. 7/10.

When Gary Sinese is only as good as everyone else, you know the acting is top notch.
20 December 2021
Mark Wahlberg acts his ass off in this one. No guns or aliens or spies to hide behind. This is a brilliant performance. And the young actor Reid Miller is amazing. Connie Britten was better than ever and child Maxwell Jenkins steals a scene or two.

Not for the faint of heart or light viewing. 8/10.

Talent doesn't care
20 December 2021
Another gem on Netflix. Ron Howard amazes. Glenn Close is a chameleon and gives a powerhouse performance. Amy Adams shines and disturbs.

Everyone brings their best here.

Middle Men (2009)

Really enjoyed this one.
20 December 2021
Fun, well-written.

Characters we got involved with quickly.

Great villains and credible good guys.

Fun that there's truth behind the story and what's become of what seemed an innocent software program.

Fun Lady Die Hard
30 October 2021
Ruby Rose is much better than she usually is in this low budget actioner.

Worth watching with some clever plot twists, decent performances, and above average action sequences.

Top-Notch Performances
30 May 2021
This is a bit like a fine play. It's all about the characters. It all takes place in a single location. We care about the people and their relationships in the short time we get to spend with them. And they leave us thinking about them after the story. Well done.

Kitschy but Laughable
15 May 2021
The performances aren't bad, but the story is terrible. Worth a few laughs, especially for bugs bunny fans.

Wasted Potential
17 January 2021
One of the most uneven movies I've seen in a long time. Amazing talent doesn't deliver. Betting the script looked great on the page. Wonder how things went so wrong. 6/10 Hulu

A solid start
10 October 2019
Watched the pilot and, so far, it's a solid start to a new show. Not sure what all the haters are on about. I'm interested to see what happens next.
