The film has a golden filter to it. 
Every bad character in town end up robbing each other in one big circle. Meanwhile 4 local boys owe the local card cheat half a million. One. Big. Circle.
Great soundtrack.

This is a world where animals, reptiles, fish, and humans coexist and they can all understand each other. One part Fast & Furious, one part Mission Impossible, and three parts Oceans 11, and two parts Looney Tunes.
C’mon a farting piranha is pure comedy gold and Marc Maron being animated as a snake is quite unique. Not to mention a horde of mind controlled evil guinea pigs.
It’s one of those bad guys become patsy’s when they finally do something good and then have to clear their name. Of course one person or fox still believes there’s good in them.
Dreamworks animation films always look so crisp and clean. It’s an okay film...

So picture if you will From Dusk Till Dawn but with a 1930s black juke t. I love me some Delroy Lindo. It’s a decent enough film with a lot of back story that takes up the first half of the film. Then you get the last half which is a full on collection of characters trying to survive a vampire attack in the old barn turned club.
The music was really good but the speakers in the theater I was in couldn’t handle it very well. It’s worth a viewing.
Also an appearance by Buddy Guy!!

H.E.K. is a known serial killer who strikes on Valentines Day and the media has been covering it for two years now. He uses arrows and knives with hearts on them. Part of the kill scenes are shown thru the POV of the killers mask. 
There is a meet cute scene, a makeover scene, and a Valentine’s Day dinner. So in a way this is a rom com horror. 
It has that Scream feel but it’s a bit more tongue in cheek. Unfortunately it’s pretty predictable.

The film basically reconstructs the day of the body of the girl being found.
The questioning by Freeman & Jane spark all the flashbacks of the storytelling as to how Hackman’s character “found” the dead girl.
Hackman sporting a bad hair piece here. Monica Bellucci, absolutely a stunning beauty.
I did however kind of figure out the set up pretty quickly. Hackman plays a nasty piece of work here.
Half of it takes place in the police station. The subject matter is delicate and creepy. Well written, well acted, well directed.

The Klingon ship Captain looking like Sho' Nuff from Enter the Dragon.
This stop in the franchise just seems to be going thru the paces and stealing from Star Wars, Stargate, Mad max and any sci-fi film with a cat-like woman... This time the big bad is a Vulcan cult leader with powers of persuasion. This one is about the real existence of GOD. Or is this a Wizard of Oz front. 
It also feels like they lost their usual special effects budget here.

Lots of CB radio trucker speak, diners, small town dirty cops, and roadside shenanigans. Kristofferson plays “Rubber Duck” Penwald the legendary trucker and his nemesis Lyle Wallace the corrupt small town cop who uses the CB radio to entrap the truckers. So the truckers band together to fight against him after he steps over the line.
It’s the truckers versus the cops and somewhat of an allegory for a western showdown. There’s slow motion fist fights accompanied by fiddle music. It becomes a FBI takedown but all the town folks along the way make “Rubber Duck” a folk hero.
There’s even simple country songs written for the film. It’s such a dumb film but reasonably entertaining.

To no fault of the acting the film falls shy of it's potential due to the bad CGI. You know Skerrit is scheming, you can just feel it.
No matter what Gabriel Macht is in he annoys me.
Pretty predictable and anticlimactic.

4K rewatch. 
Guy Ritchie is the UK’s answer to our Scorsese. 
Once you get the hang of the “English” language you realize how brilliant the writing of his films are. 
Colin Farrell is the MVP of this one.

Clinton is a jobless, man child who investigates the "murder" of his 17 year old cat "Mo". He lives at home in his moms basement after a failed attempt at owning a comic book store. During his investigation Clinton stumbles into something more sinister. He also meets the cats "other" owner Greta. 
Fran Kranz kind of reminds me of Tim Robinson in look and personality. The Clinton character dresses like he's Shaggy from Scooby-Doo, hair included. 
The movie is delightful and absurdly silly moment to moment with a couple meet cutes sprinkled in to make a fun little date night movie.

Another parody film, this time all the mafia movies rolled into one with a ton of dad joke style site gags. It is actually funny at times feeling like Leslie Nielson should have been in this.
It basically pokes fun at the Godfather films, Casino, and Goodfellas.

The first Orphan flick had the twist but now the cat is out of the bag. Knowing that “Esther” is a woman the suspense is seeing how long she deal with the charade and con the family and who is she going to kill next and how. There is a “hand that rocks the cradle element to the story”. Just when you think you know what’s going on you don’t....gotta love this twist.
I kind of find it funny that black light paintings are what makes the husband an artist??? If you saw the first one, this one is just as entertaining

Hackers, government secret tech, revenge, incestuous psychotic albino sister from the past who is into latex, nuclear weapons, and a straggling journalist from a previous encounter.
This one loses the luster from the previous Americanized film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo with Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara. It's more espionage than revenge.

Ex-Machina meets M3GAN. Josh jailbreaks his “companion” robot to commit a murder in order take a windfall of cash. It’s even kind of a heist movie. It’s fun and has a few twists and turns along the way. Never not boring and all the characters are well acted.

A light spy comedy-ish thriller for the martini crowd of the 60's. Welch was 27 years old at the time of this movie. Lots of superimposed video screen shots of Raquel in planes and parachuting is dated yet delightful. 
Fathom is her name and almost every character asks her about it. 
One of the villains Serapkin is almost like something out of an Austin Powers movie with his van dyke facial hair and eye glass monocle. Craziest part is when his henchmen butler emerges from the sea to pour him a glass of alcohol. 
These films are of a time when a handsome man can just force himself on a woman and she swoons. 
It's a who can you trust caper. Nothing spectacular but entertaining enough.

Escape and return to the dirtiest bridge erections ever mounted for the purposes of a long drawn out demolition. 
This story almost makes zero sense. Why help your enemy only to destroy what you built. 
Giant bats, leeches, hot boxes, and dysentery. It’s well written and well acted. It’s just drawn out way too long. 
I watched the first half on Blu-ray and fell asleep twice. Finished the next half on an iPad from movies anywhere.
Still watching this for the first time in 7th grade social studies class.

I’m kind of on a kick of watching WWII films dealing with the fight against the Japanese. This was a must watch according to my grandpop Hopkins who was a Pearl Harbor survivor. R.I.P.
Most of the film is the build up from both American and Japanese sides. Up and down the chain of command. Will they or won’t they attack and when. Lots of drama and conversation. The movie has an intermission inserted in it to divide the film from the prep to transition into the December 7th attacks. The attack scenes are top notch for their time. No special effects.
A gorgeous grainy and colorful transfer to high def blu-ray on this disc. There are two versions of the film on the disc. Theatrical and the extended Japanese version. I watched the theatrical. The Japanese speak in Japanese and there are subtitles for these scenes. This is probably the most real looking Pearl Harbor attack film to date. It’s a must see.

This cheese-fest goes in hard right away. You may be cool, but you’ll never be Chuck Norris driving a jeep over desert dunes while smoking a cigar cool. Silly sets, chintzy hieroglyphics, and a poorly written script...it’s got to be a Cannon film. The fights even for Norris are absolutely sub par. I mean it is supposed to be comedy/adventure flick. It’s corny as hell.
Melody Anderson is absolutely gorgeous here.

The first 2/3rds of the film is getting to know the characters and their training and going from a disorganized group of misfits to a team.
There's a small comedy element during military exercises then immediately into the final mission.
It's not one of my favorites but I like the premise that has been dozen a couple dozen times since this flick.
I do it being one of grandpops favorites. R.I.P. Donald Hopkins (Pearl Harbor Survivor)
What the guys did in the end was pretty horrific.

A full on mental health and PTSD Marvel film. as for this part of the franchise it felt a little different not in a bad way, just different. Kind of like a DC Suicide Squad of F ups being used by their handlers and overcoming the forces of evil to be thrust into the light. There was the usual moments of comedy, plenty of hand, hand combat, and a sense of adventure to me. The big stand out is David Harbour as red guardian, but I think that’s just because I like the comedy aspect of it. It’s definitely worth a watch. You don’t necessarily need to see it in a theater to be honest.

Alcatraz double feature rewatch today with Eastwood kicking it off....
This is one flick where I agree with the bad guys demands. Our government sucks.
So many notable actors. My favorite performance is by Anthony Clark playing the effeminate hair stylist.
The downhill chase sequence is almost comical at this point.
The score is so over the top heroic.
"Losers always whine about their best, winners go home and fuck the prom queen"

At a Las Vegas hospital a crazy looking Nic Cage, “the enger” just pops into the back of “the drivers” car and makes him at gunpoint drive to his destination. Meanwhile the drivers wife is back at the hospital in labor waiting for him. Cage looks like a used up blackjack dealer/sideshow magician.
This movie kind of reminds me of “The Hitcher”. In a way it’s a road flick that all takes place within the one night and goes wildly out of control.
I really dug the in film soundtrack and the way it was presented audibly. Plus the score was pretty basic but cool too.
The movie was really well done, unhinged character work but hey that the Nic we know and love. Def worth a peep.

It's crazy how much ingenuity you can muster when you have nothing but time on your hands. Based on a true story, at least the escape is. No one really knows what happened to the men.
Probably one of my favorite non western Clint films besides In the Line of Fire.

It's crazy there was some good IP and Cannon just said fuck it.
Needed a laugh. So i popped open the Cannon 5 pack.
The opening credits wanted to be Superman, the score to be Ben-Hur like, and the characters wanted to be like Flash Gordon.
Honestly the outfits and matte painting backgrounds are the best part of this attempt. I'm also a sucker for 1980's dated CGI. Meg Foster was killing it here.
This is the one and only time that Gary Goddard got to try directing a film.
I was once again bored half way thru...not even that entertaining.

The English accents are so thick I really needed subtitles. It is visually striking even for 1969. It totally bothered me that this character Billy just decides take this falcon from it family nest and train it because he needs a hobby. All the adults here are complete assholes especially the school gym teacher. Even his big brother is a bullying asshole. Billy's only respite is his time with his bird. Most of the film takes place at his school.
This was suggested via a Letterboxd interview with actor Stephen Graham. My curiosity was peaked.
It was good, interesting, and none of it felt like acting. All the characters felt authentic and natural. The end is heartbreaking.

Blu-ray purchased this time around. 
Beautiful transfer. 
Needed to rewatch this after watching the original Wages of Fear. A dissent into madness! Are the men in hell paying for their sins?

They don't show it aside from the attack portion but she thinks she was raped by a ghost man. She says she could feel him, smell him, etc... Then the "entity" tries to drive her car off the Santa Monica pier with her in it. then a second attack that show signs of bruising. Ron Silver plays Phil her new doctor who thinks it's all psychological. Then her kids experience it. 
Then craziest scene in the film is Carla's breast being manipulated by the poltergeist. Hershey's break down acting is incredible. 
The entity is basically portrayed by moving items in the house, sounds, different lighting, etc... kind of like 1963's The Haunting. 
Eventually her best friend and two paranormal researchers experience issues.
The end is just plain odd and then it tells you it's based on actual events. Mind blown.

...and introducing Hobbs vs. Shaw....Owen Shaw! (Not Statham)
Letty is back but with amnesia. LOL!
Get the fambily back together to take on a new crew of terrorists.
Muscle cars vs a tank with digital innards. All for some tech.

It’s dirty cops, a corrupt mayor, and four kids who got caught up in a heist gone bad and then an assassination of a Yakuza leaders son. 
The action sequences use these shaky fast camera shots. It’s annoyingly hard to watch. The car chase scenes look heavily CGI’ed. At one point the movie goes from being gritty to some weird John Wick, martial art arts fight out of nowhere with so much gunfire you lose track of who’s who. There’s an overkill of gunfire during a few sequences it becomes almost comical. The movie is so disted and confusing. 
I can’t figure out Tom Hardy’s weird acting style. He always looks confused, sweaty, and doesn’t fully enunciate words. 
This is just not a good film.

I love practical effects from the 60's films. The models and sets always have so much detail. The special effects are so much fun to see in this day and age.
With Donald Pleasence in it you know he's gonna pop off all crazy at some point.
It's a cool, trippy 1960's style sci-fi and def worth a viewing or two.

It’s 1983 and a series of bank robberies and car heists frightened communities in the Pacific Northwest. A murder sets off two white power factions against each other. One political and the other more militant. Jude Law plays Terry Husk the new grizzled FBI lead investigator who tasked to them all down. Sheridan is the wet behind the ears local deputy tasked to assist. 
You get the cat and mouse games,the investigation, the group gatherings, the killings and bombings and a big face off at the end. Takes place over 2 years. 
Alberta, Canada plays Oregon here. The film states this was based on actual events. 
It’s a good crime thriller. Worth the viewing.

Blu-ray rewatch!
Decided to take a Fantastic Four rewatch journey before the 2025 one comes out.
I love how quick the story unfolds and captures all the aspects of what the comic book portrayed. The CGI is slightly dated but still holds up for the most part.
My biggest gripe is a common Hollywood trope where there just happens to be a television program or radio bit explaining what is happening at the exact moment the characters are in the room.
If you think about it you get all the classic monsters in one form or another ...The Invisible Man, Phantom of the Opera, Frankenstein, and his monster and here an homage to the Fly"

Such a fun documentary that shows the dreams and heartache of wanting a film your in or making to be bigger than it actually was. 
This is before Marvel became the juggernaut it is today.

The mullets, cut off sweatshirts, and mom jeans are epic. 
It has a very 80’s synth score at first and then the rest becomes like a hokey comedy. 
 Dude lifts weigh and grunt screams like he’s orgasming. The best scene is one of the meatheads tossing a full sized old school satellite dish. 
The best twin line was “excuse me did I just go in there”. It was awful but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. It’s fun for a laugh.

PICK FLICK! I need that button.
Klein is such a doofus here. This movie is so darkly humorous.
Moral of the story? That women are manipulative and resentful?
Is this how most elections go?

Continuing my Eastwood journey for this year.
Two actors trying to play dime store detectives against the mafia.
A barrage of quips that are meant to witty and funny.
It's just dull and not very entertaining.
Is it a comedy or a crime drama? Both or neither?

A crime thriller with chance encounters? Mathematical equations? Higher learning and a serial killer. It's kind of a Sherlock Holmes type of film but with math equations. There's a lot of big brain math and theory talk that lost me. Also everyone in this movie acts irrational at times for no reason. This was an almost DNF. 
I couldn't care less who the murderer is and why.

Yup the one with the whales!
Laserdisc viewing on my Star Trek OG/NG rewatch journey.
The middle part becomes a man (team) out of time comedy. It is actually amusing for Trek fans.
"iral, thar be whales here!"

Takes place in Mississippi and was filmed there too. Adam wants the full truth from his grandfather and also to understand why his father committed suicide. 
There are flashbacks used to tell some of the past history of the family dynamics and some the incidents that led up to the case. 
It's more of a detective story and less of a courtroom drama which I thought it would have been. My biggest issue is Dunaway playing Hackman's daughter even though they were only 11 years apart. 
Adapted from the John Grisham novel by the same name. Great acting and directing. 
R.I.P. Gene Hackman.

A great western with heart. Industrial Lights & Magic should be proud of this CGI animation feature. 
The eyes on all the creatures are perfectly crafted. 
The Spirit of the West is “older” likeness of Eastwoods The Man with No Name. Brilliant 
The subplot is basically the same as the film Chinatown.

Female led John Wick style shootem’ up with the most unlikely actress in Jaimie King who I still mistake for Jaime Pressly at times. Also the girl they use as young Maila looks nothing like King. Tommy Flanagan, character actor plays the heavy with a thick a Scottish accent.
I blame the hair and makeup for brownish look of King’s color and tone or do I blame the director for the unfortunate lighting?? Plenty of the modern action flick tropes with a tech guy in a lowly lit room guiding our hero, and an old partner with a price on their head.
This is the first of three straight up B films that Banderas and Keeyes have done together. The acting by the main three or four is okay but otherwise the rest is subpar. Even at 93 minutes it dragged on too long.

Not quite a comedy, not quite a crime drama.
I had no idea this was based on a true story. Took place in 2002.
The acting was great, the story is unbelievable.

4K rewatch!
Gorgeous color schemes, amazing sets and practical effects.
This is the first time I watched the film all the way thru without falling asleep. Not because I’m bored but because the film is calming and quiet. 
I have a new appreciation for this film after this viewing.

At the start of the film you get zero insight as to what is really going on. kinda confusing then slowly clears up after a few assassins
If Jackie Chan was younger this would have been his. Ariana & Ke make the oddest couple for this I guess martial arts Russian mafia romcom??
Lots of comedic fighting, quick choreographed martial moves, and plenty of Wick-style gun-fu. There's a lot of unnecessary narration. 
Marshawn Lynch has got comedic acting skills! Fun cast... Is it me or should Mustafa Shakir be in the running for the Marvel Blade movies?
I'd say take it or leave it. It has its moments.

An Oliver Stone film that doesn't feel like an Oliver Stone film.
The movie feels like it was produced by MTV. It's so late 90's with look and feel. "Willie Beaman keeps the ladies creamin"
Almost every character on the team has an opposite architype they are facing. Old vs young, metal vs. rap, experience vs. rookie, etc...

, in which former judges of Nazi were tried for their actions. The real trials went from 1945 to 1946. All the outside shots were taken in the actual areas of Nuremberg. 
It was jarring to have to hear the German music and actual moments of Hitler's speeches. 
The dilemma lies within the fact that all the men on trial were obeying the law in their country and by their leaders i.e. Hitler and his third reich.
The film is mostly a court room drama but there are instances outside of the court revolving the people involved in the case and previous cases.
It was crazy to see my beloved Colonel Klink from Hogan's Heroes here. This was of course before his big television run. Also just as many years for Shatner before the original Star Trek series.  
A brilliant film about what's right or wrong under the law of the land and was it enforced due to their beliefs of right or wrong or was it because they were ordered to by their nations leaders. The story shows the trial of the judges who carried out the "lawful" orders of their dictator. It involves what crimes were committed by the Nazis and real footage used during the trial. The acting was brilliant. This film should be shown in social studies and history classes.

Malick loves the inner dialogue stuff in his film. Most of the main characters add to it through out the story. Even in what would be all out deafening explosions in most war flicks Malick doubles down on the quietness of inner thought and at points on the loudness of the environment overshadowing what would normally be clear dialogue. There are calming flashbacks and daydreams of life before the war. The film also focuses in on the eerie and gruesome moments where these guys are just watching each other die. 
The score is ominous. The body count is massive. It's a hard watch anymore to see these movies when they show the starvation and horrid conditions.
This an artfully done World War II film which I didn't care for. It was well acted but just not my style.

This is the companion piece to the film Flags of Our Fathers.
Iwo Jima was a lost cause for Japan. The Japanese were grossly out gunned and outnumbered. The story is told through a handful of characters of different ranks and their journey from the preparation of defending the island to the actual battle and hardships of wether to fight to an honorable death or commit hara kiri.
Japanese spoken, English subtitles except for maybe a dozen or so lines. Some of the backstory is told via flashbacks. It’s a great film. Well directed and extremely well acted.

Nothing like a desolate orange looking 80's Los Angeles paired with some sub par synth and guitar score.
Add in some "zombies?" and a couple of hot teen girls with big hair and this becomes a cult classic.
Am I still crushing on Catherine Mary Stewart?
Also gotta love the 80's fashion looting spree while blaring Cyndi Lauper.

The best movie Mark Pillow was ever in .
Even Superman couldn't have saved this mega turd.
The Clark Kent/ Superman double date sequence was one of the dumbest rom com moments ever committed to film.
The green screening was just over the top bad too.
