The Resurrection of Gavin Stone (2017)

Really enjoyed this movie

[7/10 · 23 May 2023]

There were a number of quite humorous moments, which I enjoyed. If you are a Christian, then you could predict the story line, but that was not a problem to the enjoyment of the movie. It was great to see church people portrayed as real people doing their best to be Christ-like, though no one is perfect. It is always lovely to see a redemptive story where a heart is truly changed, and others grow along with the conflict. Other than The Middle dad, I was not familiar with any of the actors, but I thought the performances were well done. I will close by saying 600 is way too many characters to require in a review.

Bermuda Tentacles (2014 TV Movie)

Better than I thought it would be

[4/10 · 14 March 2022]

Dr. Zimmer should have known how to pronounce hypothesis and another scientific word or two, and of course there was much stretching of credibility overall (especially the condition of the president after all that time in the pod), but I liked this better than any of the other Asylum-type movies I've watched, so I'm giving it 4 stars.

Future '38 (2017)

2 stars because I watched it for a while

[2/10 · 13 March 2022]

It was an interesting concept to have the 1938 guy go into a future that 1938 folks might have imagined, except with the over the topness of the movie. However, it was not able to hold my interest long enough to find out how he saved the world.

Holmes & Watson (2018)

Stupid

[1/10 · 12 March 2022]

I was looking for comedy, not stupidity. I stopped watching after 45 minutes or so. There were several TRULY tasteless scenes that were just disgusting and really not funny.

Hitch (I) (2005)

Made me laugh out loud

[8/10 · 7 March 2022]

I just really enjoyed this movie. I don't laugh out loud easily & this one did it. Kevin James was a riot. The humor wasn't silly and most of the characters were as real as people ever get in romcoms. The movie relied on relationship rather than sex, which is a huge plus for me.

Jungle Cruise (2021)

LAH-gree-mahs, NOT Luh-GREE-mahs!!!

[7/10 · 18 January 2022]

You'd think they'd have had somebody to correct their Spanish pronunciation. It was terribly bloody and violent for a Disney production based on an amusement park ride, but other than those 2 things I enjoyed it. I think Johnson & Blunt made the movie.

Ace Wonder: Message from a Dead Man (2014)

Enjoyed the redemptive theme

[6/10 · 9 January 2022]

Found it on Peacock; entertained me & happy ending, which is not a spoiler, but what I like to see at the end of a movie. Some acting was fine, some was not the greatest, but in this case, I didn't care.

Defending Santa (2013 TV Movie)

Gave it a generous 6 because I enjoyed it :)

[6/10 · 26 December 2021]

I just flat enjoyed it. Could nitpick it but it had enough not same old same old to both keep me entertained and smiling. A good-hearted, as opposed to slapstick, silly or stupid, movie about Santa never gets old and is soothing to the heart.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

Utterly predictable

[4/10 · 7 July 2018]

If you've seen the other Jurassic movies, you can see most of the events here coming a mile away. It's past time for them to shake up the formula, and they did leave a couple of openings for that - I hope they'll take them. Of course, the special effects were great.
