Charlie's Angels (2019)
under rated. over hated.
I listened to the reviews that panned this show.
last night, I streamed it, and frankly, I was pleasantly surprised.
of course, its not Oscar material. few are. even some that are nominated for best picture Oscar are not Oscar worthy.
and there are some that should have won best picture, and did not. (ahem, La La Land)
and since I am the guy who forks over the $20 for the ticket, my opinion is as valid as anyone elses.
however, in my view, this film does the one important thing that I expect from any flick.
To Be Entertained. thats it.
in return for my $20 and 2 hours of my life, I go to escape and be entertained.
and in that function, this picture does the job.
and its fun to watch.
and frankly, I thought the "girl power" hate was totally misdirected.
yes, it was there. but Banks did not beat you over the head with it.,
it was action, it was amusing, it was fun.
so...haters gonna hate. not much we can do about that.
but dont let them stop you from enjoying a decent and fun action film.
The Rewrite (2014)
under rated
An excellent mid life crisis/reinvention of the self film.
I recommend it to you for its sly wit. pay attention to the Dialogue. there are some great lines in there. I even wrote down a few to steal them for later! (thanks Writers.)
Grants semi deadpan delivery is quite amusing. very reserved brit/ english in its style.

and of course, Allison Janney and Marisa Tomei are always worth the view.
Endeavour: Sway (2014)
emotional
A great ending. powerful and emotional. the consequences of our actions are always with us. and the piper is always paid.
Chef (2014)
a sweet and enjoyable flick
a life swings out of control, all is lost.
then redemption & reconnection with the joy of life. yeah, cliché. but what is life, but a series of clichés.
although here, it is well done, and except for a very very few disconnects, it works very well.
even Dante worked the same angle over 700 years ago. and he is considered one of the greats...... in the middle of my lifes journey, I woke in a dark wood, the pathway lost......how I came to be there I cannot say...to speak of it even now fills me with dread, but I must speak also of the good that I found there. I don't remember how I got there, asleep at the moment I had lost the true way.......
so, yeah. well done here also.
I must add that the soundtrack is great. a selection that fits well with the flick. good job by whoever handled the music.
and as I said, in some ways clichéd, but really, what is truly new?
one cook can take bread and cheese and make a mess. another can take bread and cheese and make a culinary delight. here you will find a delight. a grilled cheese to die for.
hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Hot Pursuit (2015)
very funny
first. suspend disbelief.
second. go with the flow.
third. laugh till your belly hurts.
this is a cute and amusing, albeit formulaic, flick. that said, I am a fan of the Witherspoon. and of the typical hot Latin mamacita of the sofia v. type.
there is nothing really new here. you have seen it in every hate you/love you buddy flick ever made....however, it is well done for the genre and worth the view.....and it is funny and amusing. its entertaining, and so worth the price of the ticket.
