Megalopolis (2024)
Very weird and disjointed
This movie is very weird and disjointed, but has the feeling of an epic Roman story. I don't think that the film is gonna be in the theatres for very long, but you can go and watch it at home when it comes out. It's not a stunningly beautifully film movie like most of France ford Coppola movies. It was nice to see Dustin Hoffman in the movie and he hasn't acted in a long time. Driver was a good main character and it was basically a Roman story. It was also nice to see how New York was portrayed. It shows a lot about access and how we live in today's society with just buying stuff and not really caring about each other.
Cemitério (2024)
Terrible movie
This is how not to make a movie. This movie is terrible. It's not worth even the amount of time that I watched it. It's discombobulated. It's doesn't make any sense and I don't care about any of the characters. It's boring. I'm just using it as background noise but it's a terrible movie. Please do not rent it look elsewhere if I give it a negative one I would I gave it to. There's some decent actors in it but other than that, it's nothing great. Just a complete waste of time complete waste of, my brain cells to even try to watch this is dribble. It's terrible. Nothing is good about it and I mean nothing is good about it.
The Great Escaper (2023)
One of the best movies I've seen this year...
This is a very poignant movie, due to the fact that most World War II veterans are not around. The idea of a retired person living in a retirement home or a care home as they call them Britain, and wanting to go to The anniversary of D-Day in Normandy works very well. The idea that this is a human interest story and the news picks it up is whar would actually happen. Michael Caine's character is very well-rounded, and very well written. The idea of this veteran not wanting to leave his wife is what I think would actually happen. It's a well worthy movie to see in the movie theatre or on the small screen at home and it's an uplifting movie.
You Can't Run Forever (2024)
Predictable
Not a great movie, JK Simmons is the best thing in the movie. You can tell that the script is fairly weak. It could've been a better story if it was more scary. That being said it's not really a thriller, but more of a comedy because the movie is so bad. Maybe it will restart cult status when it gets old enough. Sort of like children of the corn or microwave massacre or rocky horror picture show. I think it could've been more if you got better actors instead of like b-list actors. Someone going around and just randomly killing people is not really all that scary. It's just kinda like stupid.. this film was made because of his family and he wanted to work for his family (JK Simmons). If you can see it for free, then it's not really a waste of your money, but that being said it's kind of a waste of your time. There are so many other better movies out there.
Asteroid City (2023)
Social commentary on the US
This film is quirky, and funny. I have always loved Wes Andersson's use to colour in his film, and the odd ball characters he creates. This film is more of a social commentary on both odd relationships, and maybe a bit of USA bashing as well. The characters make a huge impression on you, and there are a lot of fabulous actors who haven't been in any films in an immense amount of time. Just love how the film incorporates flash forward, and flash backs which may at times make the viewer question what they watched, there are a lot of fast moving sequences that the viewer may wish to watch again. Great film, but not as good as Grand Hotel Budapest.
Jurassic World Dominion (2022)
I liked it
As a stand alone film it was good, had decent action. The back stories of the characters was nice, and was nice to see three from the original movie. It also had a decent moral message that says don't mess with nature, and has kind of a slap to genetically modified seeds as well. If you go in expecting a lot, you will be disappointed.
Horizon Line (2020)
This should be a comedy
I am half way through this disaster movie, and it's a disaster. One of the worst movies I have seen, way too funny. Acting is terrible, the scenery is decent.
