Dennis Miller: America 180º (2014)
If You Are Conservative You Will Love This
Very funny and timely for today (late 2014). But if you are a leftist, I can see you may "get steamed" watching it as Dennis Miller effectively hits all of your buttons. Dennis also hits the right (Speaker John Boehner & Dick Cheney), but much more softly. The jokes at global warming, Obama and Pelosi's expense are great. He does a couple of his famous Dennis Miller rants, but for the most part it was standard stand-up comedy fare. I do wonder if these jokes will stand the test of time, or instead will be a time capsule for future generations wondering what was happening during this period of time. I give it a 10 out of 10, but hey, I'm conservative.
The Girl on the Train (2014)
Unbelievably tortuous to watch
Long time user of IMDb, but this is my very first review because I felt compelled to write as I read the unbelievably high scores given to this film by people that must have been on the crew or are relatives of the actors or producers. What an atrocious film filled with bad acting, terrible dialogue and poor pace! I was expecting a good film, then I saw the scores drop for this film in real time over a matter of days on Netflix. I should have sent the film back without watching it as the Netflix algorithms know a stinker from a good or even great film. I watched the whole thing because once I start I can't stop. It was almost a physically painful ordeal that I had to endure just to get through the 1 hr and 20 minutes. I will be on my deathbed and probably think about this film and wonder what constructive thing I could have done with that time instead, perhaps watch paint dry or look into a dark closet. Yikes! Please don't waste your time like I did.
