True Detective (2014)
It Keeps your Attention !
Not trying to sound like a bandwaggoner but Season 1 really is the Best one of them all. Real Humans and Real Live Scenarios.
Haven't watched Season 2 (least not yet)
Season 3 Is Really Good as well, only drawback is all the flashbacks. Starts out with Det. Wayne Hayes as old man flashing back to when he was a middle aged man flashing back when he was a young cop . Say What?
Don't need all the personal stuff, all I really cared about was the crime story. I mean who is this story really about ? A couple of innocent kids who get abducted in the early 80's or an old man flashing back ? They're just trying to hard to be different or unique.
The abduction story is great but all the personal is a waste.
Andor (2022)
Snooze Fest
Do yourself a favor and skip the first 2 episodes you'll literally missing nothing, at the very least fast forward through them.
Way too many flashback sequences, I get maybe 1 or 2 but
3-4 every episode! And you're not any farther down the road or understand anything more after having watched the flashbacks.
Not really any kind of a tie into the Empire or Imperial Forces.
No mention of the Rebel Resistance (maybe just a slight vague reference at the very end of the 3rd episode).
The law enforcement officers were a joke ! Reminded me of Campus Security in some generic uniforms.
I enjoyed the background music, it reminded of a Michael Mann movie or Vangelis. In fact the whole movie had a definite Blade Runner feel to it, not so much a Star Wars vibe.
The Production value,visuals, etc. We're very good.
They need to add in some other writers to keep the story moving along, way to much non-essential plot detail.
And when & If they speak in Kenari again ,put in some Subtitles, it'd be nice to know what they're saying !
I mean basically all we know is this guy Andor is a scavenger, doesn't really have any friends and the friends he does have don't like him very much, he owes everybody money, he accidentally killed a corrupt officer and that he's on the run looking out for numero uno.
Killer Joe (2011)
Waste of Time !
Just a complete Redneck circus of insanity. Kept waiting for some kind of conclusion, good/bad or whatever. But nope,nothing,nada,zilch !
I mean Good Acting & Production Values etc. But the Story line was just Atrocious!
Bosch: Legacy (2022)
I couldn't turn it off !
Just kept watching the next episode & the next one ! Wayyy to good ! Bosch,Maddie, Honey Chandler ! I would say watch the other series before this one.
First Series:Bosch, Captain in Hollywood's Robbery Homicide Division (RHD).
2 Series Bosch: Legacy (retired cop,fulltime private investigator.
YOU'LL LOVE IT !
Layer Cake (2004)
Turn on the Captions !
The Pros: Daniel Craig, Michael Gambon.
The Cons: 1.everybody is talking like they've got marbles in their mouth.
2. Wayyyy to much & screaming, every scene someone is screaming at the top of their lungs.
3. Convoluted plot that didn't make any sense.
4. And then after all that Mayhem, you think he's gonna get the girl ? NOPE ! Takes one right in the chest & dies in her arms . No Thanks !
5. Another thing is found myself skipping through certain parts cause it was way to predictable.
Spartan (2004)
Not a waste of your time.
In the beginning its kind've a slow burner but about halfway through it really picks up & keeps your attention !
"Greater Love Hath No Man Than This, That a Man Lay Down His Life For His Friends. "
Mr. Majestyk (1974)
Don't Mess with Old School !
It's 2021 and this Movie is 47 yrs old as of this year. And this movie has aged very well, it still holds up, still relevant. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Fire Birds (1990)
Eh!
1. Doesn't hold up well to the Test of time.
2. Pretty Generic.
3. The last 10 minutes is decent, the rest of it is Filler.
4. If Tommy Lee & Cage weren't in this movie it would be a direct to video Loser.
Klute (1971)
Artsy, Fartsy, Claptrap
You can have a good canvas, quality paints & artist brushes & even a good subject in which to paint and still come out w/ an "eh" painting.
Klute has good actors & acting,good cinematography, sound,lighting etc. All top notch. But the movie ? "Eh"... It was 90 minutes of acting classes edited together. BORING !
Valdez Is Coming (1971)
He only wanted $100 (great movie)
No matter what your station in life (high or low) you always gotta show respect no matter who it is !
This movie has got a little bit of
"Rambo:first blood" in it and a little bit of "Quigley,Down Under" (great Tom Selleck Western).
Men & Women can identify w/ this movie , strong female character part.
Gang Related (1997)
Great Movie ! Except ....
Like I said, great movie ! Great production value, great actors , I mean Belushi, James Earl Jones,Gary Cole,Tupac,all great ! Great story & a really great ending ! The only thing that drags this movie down a bit is Tupac's Character Det.Rodriguez CONSTANT Pissing & Moaning through the whole entire movie ! I mean for a crooked cop you'd think he'd be a little more hard-core than that. Watching Belushi & Tupac argue reminds you of a married couple ! I had to keep fast forwarding,it was annoying !
Other than that ,Great Movie.
Fatal Attraction (1987)
Don't Mess w/ the Mistress!
Great Thriller! Very True,Realistic & Suspenseful. Also thought the Child was a little boy. But I was wrong it was a Girl. 🤷♂️
The Fury (1978)
Iconic Actors !
Kindve reminds of the X-Men sortve a Forerunner in my opinion.Pretty Good Movie, well made, good script, great suspenseful soundtrack. Only thing that didn't work, at the end was one of the main characters was levitating in mid-air by his own power and the next minute hanging off the roof by a thread onto his Fathers arm & then plunges to his death ? Why didn't he just use his power and fly away or something like that ?
I Am Wrath (2016)
Solid Action Film !
In years gone by, the Fabric of Society used to be more cohesive and could "generally agree" on this or that. But all of that is over with now. Everybody is so entitled & self important . They're looking for a film to be an emotional salvation to answer all their questions and full fill them in every way. Gimme a Break !!
Iam Wrath is a Solid Action/Crime Drama. Loved the chemistry between Meloni & Travolta !
From Paris with Love (2010)
Loved It !
Total Guy's Movie ! Full of Heart,Soul & ACTION ! Travolta is FULL of Confidence ! Total Bad!@#
Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone (1983)
Meh
Madmax meets Waterworld, nuff said. Ok for something to have on in the background, so you can concentrate on what your really doing.
