True Fans (1999)

An inspiring film

[10/10 · 8 June 2021]

This film will restore your faith in humankind. An amazing story of three young men out to find the good in America.

Classic Albums: Rush: 2112 & Moving Pictures (2010) Season 9, Episode 3

A must see for fans and aspiring musicians

[10/10 · 18 January 2021]

An interesting look at the making of two classic albums and the progression of one of rock's greatest trios.

Star Trek: Discovery (2017–2024)

Stop whispering!

[4/10 · 17 January 2021]

Michael's whispering has become mega annoying! Can you imagine Capt. Kirk or Picard whispering to the crew? (Imagine an Army sergeant whispering to the recruits. 😂)

Too many emotional moments when action is needed. I hope the directors fix this and get back to Star Trek rather than an interstellar therapy session. Hey Michael, did you have enough "whine" with that speech?

The Chosen: I Have Called You by Name (2019) Season 1, Episode 1

Awful camera work ruins it

[5/10 · 4 October 2020]

Buy a steady cam, a tripod, or learn to do a slower camera "shake." What could have been an interesting series was ruined for me by an overactive implementation of camera shake/movement. It's too bad because the cinematography was otherwise well done for an independent production.

The Vast of Night (2019)

I want my 90 minutes back

[2/10 · 30 May 2020]

Good cinematography. Great premise. Very unfulfilling. I feel like I just listened to people yell at each other for an hour and a half...oh wait, I did. Move along. Nothing to see here.

Amazing Stories (2020)

Skip Episode 2

[7/10 · 23 May 2020]

Episode 1 was very good, But episode 2 a huge disappointment. However, episodes 3 through 5 were enjoyable. Skip episode two and you will most likely enjoy this series.

Jeff Dunham: Beside Himself (2019 TV Special)

Disappointed with language

[2/10 · 9 October 2019]

Jeff Dunham used to be a family favorite until his last few specials. The increased use of the F-word (especially with Peanut) has made it so we can no longer enjoy his comedy in our home. Also, ewer sexual jokes would not hurt. We're confident that Jeff could still be hilarious and clean because he used to be that way.

Murder Mystery (2019)

Tortured by Sandler's character

[5/10 · 20 June 2019]

This movie is more enjoyable than a lot of garbage, but Adam Sandler's character was sheer torture to watch. I almost turned it off a few times just because Sandler's character was as irritating as it gets. The cheapskate, bufoon character drageed the whole film into the "painful to watch" category. Give the character just a little more class and this movie would have been much more anusing.

Minions (2015)

Pure entertainment (Go Bob!)

[9/10 · 13 February 2019]

I can watch the first 10 minutes (History of the Minions) over and over! Truly enjoyable, but I must admit the final "battle" sequence gets rediculous. However, young kids will love it.

Thank God It's Friday (1978)

The real "That 70's Show"

[14 January 2002]

Every late 70's disco stereotype is well represented, including a brief shot of a working 8-Track tape player. Want a funny flashback? Grab this one. (Want an Oscar-caliber movie? Get something else.) But then, where else can you get Donna Summer, The Commodores AND Jeff Goldblum all in the same film?

The Pit and the Pendulum (1961)

Thriller without the "spiller"

[9/10 · 14 January 2002]

Who said that your fingernails won't be digging into the arm rest without blood flying across the screen? I first saw this as part of a High School Film Festival 20 years ago. They showed it in two parts (one hour per day). It was the talk of the school and we couldn't wait for the second part the next day. And yes, there were plenty of gasps and screams - without any slasher on the loose. A timeless classic!
