The Midnight Sky (2020)
Not sure how this has an Oscar nod for visual effects.
Hollywood will nominate anything George Clooney is in. The visual effects look like a B list sci-fi movie. I've stayed in boutique hotels that look better than that ship.
Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
Serena Williams riding a horse on a death destroyer...that's all you need to know.
Rather watch a 3 part mini series on jar jar binks and the history of the gungans.
1917 (2019)
Marvel Generation
Let me say first off that I love Sam Mendes. I think he makes great movies...just not good war movies. I admire the talent it takes to make single shots, but it takes away from the art of film editing that creates emotion for a film. This is not a documentary and there is no need to make it feel like one. This movie sacrificed a lot of emotion for cinematography and it shouldn't have. There was no need for over the top scenes just to say we shot this continuously. I wanted to like this film, but it fell short of great war movies and I am left with a void. I really feel like this is the nail in the coffin for great war movies and I am really sad.
Tough Guy: The Bob Probert Story (2019)
Music
Change the demeaning music on this documentary and you have a different story. They demonized the man here people! This is hockey culture and if you don't like it go watch the NBA. Probert was an enforcer and fought for his teammates. This is part of the game no matter how much they try to rid it and it is the reason it has such a hard core following. To deny the violence is to deny our ourselves of our love of competition. Hockey is our last great sophisticated competition. Don't let the media take it away.
Toy Story 4 (2019)
Need to drive the rating down folks!!!
My god. I would rather watch Pixels than this garbage. Please vote as a 1 in order to let people know this is not a good movie. So much lost from the original 3. I cried a broken heart because my childhood was taken away like so many disney films made today. If you think this is a good movie you probably think the new star wars are good, too. This is truly is the decline of Western filmmaking. I will not capitalize the D in disney because they do not deserve it. I'm not a film snob, but I know good movies when I see them and this is not it.
I, Tonya (2017)
My God, Someone Should Have Called Clint Eastwood
Not even 15 minutes into this movie I realized this movie did no justice to the story behind Tonya Harding. First off I hate the introduction headline that is satirical. It takes the viewer out of the immersion........BASED ON IRONY FREE, WILDY CONTRADICTORY, TOTALLY TRUE INTERVIEWS WITH TONYA HARDING AND JEFF GILLOOLY. Give me a break. This is ridiculous. Present the facts first people and let the viewer decide. I quit watching after about 20 minutes so this review doesn't have any real merit. It's just wildy contradictory.
Vice (2018)
Where's the smoking???
So much potential for this movie and it let me down. Dick was notorious for smoking cigarettes and we barely see it throughout the entire movie. Having him smoke throughout the movie would have helped the audience understand his heart condition.
I'm also going to blame Will Ferrell for the low rating, who helped produced this, for the comedic parts that take the viewer out of immersion as part of this film's downfall. Galactus.....really?
All in all, I feel like this film tried to put blame and demonize the man known as Dick Cheney for much of what is happening in today's politics. If you believe that then just go watch Hillary's America's the documentary.
I will say they did at least try to balance, but it was very little. This was probably so they could say we tried, but in the end we know all affiliated were leaning hard left. This movie tried its hardest to sway viewers and in the end it made me respect the man even more. Mission accomplished.
