Madame Web (2024)
Confusing. Bad story bad ideas.
Grade: D
Couple problems with this movie. It's not Spider-Man. Very close though. The teenagers just run around and scream in this movie they don't really do anything. And I don't understand how this villain can do what he do and how he became who he is and where did he come from. Does he even have a name? There's just no background. Things are not explained that well in this movie. So you can watch it with confusion and you keep waiting for something exciting to happen... Nothing exciting happens. Apparently marvel thought this story was good enough to make the movie about they should have sent it back to the drawing board! Maybe if they had some cameos it could have saved this movie but they didn't even do that.
Gojira -1.0 (2023)
It's the best Godzilla ever made
My family left the theater in awe. And I think Godzilla's atomic bomb breath blew all the speakers out of the theater. What an amazing achievement this director and the actors have done by creating this Post world war II movie. We were awe struck by the set pieces in this film. The character development is phenomenal and seeing everybody in the theater crying during a Godzilla movie was incredible. Who ever thought that in a Godzilla movie they would be sweetness and subtleness... A movie about shame, redemption, courage, sacrifice, emotional distress, and camaraderie all wrapped in one. A pure masterpiece.
The Flash (2023)
Below average movie. More things wrong than right! Fix it DC!
B-
So for me this is a good movie to watch on a Monday Tuesday or Wednesday. Sasha Calle did a great job as Supergirl, same as Michael Keaton as Batman. The flash is fine as the flash. The story is not bad, and the Batman fighting sequences are good. Now for the negative:
1. Ben Affleck as fat Batman should never put another suit on ever.
2. They still haven't made The flash a tough badass character. In this one he is still a nerdy annoying teenager idiot which means he really shouldn't be able to fight. And him fighting look stupid. They should do a serious movie with him as a total mean badass.
3. The CGI gets worse as the movie goes.
4. Why does zod have to move so slowly? So robotic. He is a great villain but he looks like his feet weigh a thousand pounds.
5. Marvel destroys the last 40 minutes of their movies. It's always pure chaos with way too much CGI. Is that what people want a complete freaking mess at the end of every DC movie? And marvel is doing the same thing making a mess out of the end of their movies.
6. DC copied the script from Thor as being an old cranky man with a huge beard a total freaking mess and they did that with Bruce Wayne. Come on. All I could think of is they stole it from Thor. I guess people at DC are out of ideas.
7. You had to bring a bad mural of Christopher Reeve here? You couldn't leave him alone. All he did was stand there and do nothing So what was the point. You don't make your movie better by doing that.
8. Can we stop using the time continuum in DC and marvel movies please. Are we all over going back or forward in time? People need to seriously watch Captain America part 2 The Winter soldier. One of the best superhero movies ever and it was done in real time with real people and not so much flash and dash and BS. DC and marvel you're just giving people headaches now at the end of these movies.
The flash B-. Where's my Tylenol.
Cocaine Bear (2023)
Had great potential. Should have had two endings!
Elizabeth Banks directs this movie and it's great to see Keri Russell in this movie she does a fine job. Ray lotta's last film.. He's good until the last 30 minutes of this movie. The writers botched up his character and what he was supposed to do at the end. The movie sadly falls apart. The reason to watch this movie is Margo Martindale as ranger Liz... She's great in this movie! What a mess she is 🤣... So I give the first hour a B+... The last 30 minutes is a D-. They probably ran out of money and rushed the ending. Once you see the waterfall it's time to turn the movie off or walk out! I'm sure there will be a cocaine bear 2.... Unfortunately with "C" actors and a smaller budget. The writers dropped the ball on this one at the end.
Payback (2021)
above average movie for a tuesday night!
Its an Above average movie for a tuesday night! Matt Levett did a good job playing mike. The villans were convincing. The editing could have been better. I thought the movie was going to end several times, nope! It kept on going on and on. He showed interest in certain weapons but it never really mattered. Really no fighting here. Just big talk and shooting. Wheres the cops throughout this movie? Only one ha! Only 1 female with a strong role... but why is she walking around soo slow? Does she have back pain? Love it when the main characters get shot or stabbed, then 5 minutes later they are fully recovered. Gotta love hollywood. Next time im injured Im going there!
The Northman (2022)
Epic effort but missed the mark!
They obviously spent a lot of money making this movie and putting together the trailers... Could not wait to see it! However throughout watching the movie I was happy then disappointed then happy then disappointed etc. Plus my medium score of 5 right in the middle I rate this movie a good Tuesday night movie but it should have been a Saturday night movie! We'll go with the good then the bad.
The good: the sound and the music of this movie needs to get a major award. Phenomenal.
The costumes were good and the lighting was good.
There is some beautiful scenery here.
For those who like brutality in a movie there is plenty of that in this movie and there is a lot of deaths.
Now for the bad:
Just didn't care for the main character that much. You feel bad what happens to him in the beginning and then throughout the movie he's just a slave that doesn't do much he keeps his head down 3/4 of the movie. When he does fight towards the end of the movie he's just not that great. After all he has been through he should have really torn it apart but most of the killings are behind huts behind trees not that much in the open. In fact he wasn't that great of a fighter in the end.
This movie could have done without all the magic I think that hurts this movie and destroys any kind of realism that it had going for it. They could have just had a really good swordsmith make him that sword but they just went into pure fantasy.
A good villain makes or breaks a movie. This villain is not really a bad guy. In fact I was hoping he would win in the end... You have to have a good villain to have a great movie. Aka game of thrones.
He was a slave for three quarters in the movie and that is just way too long.. they should have cut 30 minutes of that out of there and made him more of a glorious unbeatable fighter that would have made the movie better but they did not do that. This movie is getting a B - from me. I will say that something enjoyable about the movie is when this movie ends and the credits start rolling turn the music way way up the score is incredible.
Ambulance (2022)
Garbage. Hard to get through. Crazy ratings.
Jake Gyllenhaal stars in this movie and he definitely does not want to be here. You can tell by his acting that this movie is going to suck. Once he's in the ambulance he really doesn't do anything but yell at the ENT. Eisa Rodriguez... Who even when she has a gun pointed to her face she's cursing at the assailants which would never happen in real life. There's too many problems here that wouldn't happen in real life. Everyone is shooting thousands of rounds and no one's getting once again everyone acts like an expert but nobody can shoot worth a crap. We're supposed to feel bad for the driver because he just wants to get home to his children? How about not robbing a bank dumbass. The lead detective thinks too much of himself and is always one step behind not even the stupid helicopter can catch up to the slow ambulance. Ridiculous if you fall for this piece of crap then you like dumb movies. The lines are flat and even the chase scenes that take place in dirt fields... How is that entertainment? There's no one on the street to run over there's barely any cars around it's just so dumb it's done in a Hollywood studio. None of the actors want to be here so why should you? Pure garbage and I can't believe anybody gave this good and I can't believe anybody gave this good ratings.
Morbius (2022)
Marvel is lost.
Marvel is lost since Avengers: Endgame. What do we do now? Well: we do a terrible sequel with Venom 2. Absolute disaster. Then we use the same formula and the same voice in our new character Moon Knight... And let's write a confusing story about dreams and reality. And then let's make another movie about another Spider-Man foe Morbius. But this time, let's have another bad villain (Milo played by Matt Smith), Make our own character a villain, and have a bunch of zombie looking vampires fly around the screen in a blur. Are you kidding me? Well I hope marvel executives are proud of themselves because look what happened..DC took a step forward with "Joker" and now "The Batman".. which was phenomenal. The last time marvel came out with something good besides avengers endgame was "the punisher". (A+). Unbelievable how they abandoned that project along with the defenders. They really had something going there. Check out Nick Cage, Daredevil or Jessica Jones fabulous series. Sorry Morbius... You're going in the wrong direction! GRADE D.
Moonfall (2022)
Cannot watch this one straight...
C+. Ed Warren, Jinx, and samwell tarley join forces with no other humans help to save the earth, and without dragonglass... But first you have to believe that you can launch a rocket into space by using the moon's gravitational pull. So if you drink and you know things, and have smoked enough of the devil's lettuce... All we have to do is combine The matrix, Armageddon, Independence Day into one movie... Add bad acting And more reefer, And a bad villain called "the swarm" but you'll never understand how it got there, how to defeat it, or what its purpose is. So sit back, And watch how a movie that took 140 million dollars to make... Only makes 10 million it's opening weekend. There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do!
Moon Knight (2022)
It gets a little better the more you watch
Pretty good acting in the show. The first episode is quite confusing but it improves with time. This could be difficult to follow at times. There is no connection between this character and the other marvel characters. It is unsure how all the magic stuff happens.. and of course nobody can see some of the figures in the show and it's not explained why.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)
It's Goonies with ghosts
You take the 2016 Ghostbusters and that was with women that movie was a disaster. This movie is with school kids. So it's a mixture of "IT", and The Goonies put together. The adults are all stupid and the kids are the smart ones. Hopefully in the next ghostbuster would be with adults and be more serious. You have to have a good villain to have a good movie and the ghosts are boring. Literally don't do anything. No personality. There's no magic in this movie. This one is written and targeted for junior high kids. Not amusing. Lackluster, overacting. What a shame.
Antlers (2021)
Better than the recent horror movies over the last few years
The trend is that people are haters when it comes to many movies. That's why you see poor ratings on good movies. Well this is not one of them because it's actually a good horror movie. The sound is fabulous.. turn it up! Really good villain... Pacing was just right. And good acting. Nothing not to like here so watch the movie and enjoy... Good horror movies do not come along that often!
Halloween Kills (2021)
Very well done
Should you go see Halloween kills? The answer is yes. Michael Myers has lost weight and he moves faster... Except when hes following somebody. It's always fun when people are running throughout the movie and he can walk and still be right behind them. That's just classic. And of course people always trip and fall. That's always fun. The only negative was Jamie Lee Curtis's performance. I thought she was terrible. Everybody else was great. And Michael looks fantastic. There is also some laughs here. Go see it A-.

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
They forgot how to make a superhero movie
Save your money this one's a dud! First they abandon the whole 1980s theme.. they only give it like five minutes. The two villains are terrible. You must have a good villain to have a good superhero movie! There is no action until 1 hour and 20 minutes into the movie. I really don't know what they were thinking here it could have been so much better. C- grade. Only because her flying was cool. Scrap this crap!
.
The New Mutants (2020)
Disappointment of the year right here
Fans of this genre will be disappointed. That's the problem with this movie. the first 75% of this movie absolutely nothing happens...then they use their powers the last 25% of the movie and not even that well. The villain? Well there really isn't one. I am still shocked about how poorly they did making this movie. People are literally going to walk out of the theater wanting their money back. What a joke. They need a new director... New writers, whoever approved the script should never work in movies again.
The Meg (2018)
The bad reviews are ridiculous
You know why there are bad reviews of the movie? Because they took it serious. this is not a documentary or movie to compete with jaws. This movie was made for fun. That's it. Read the reviews of the morons that gave at 1 two or three stars. They took it serious. This is actually a beautifully filmed movie. Filmed in multiple locations above the water below the water. The colors in the sound are pretty fantastic. The acting was fine. I think the other reviewers should stick with movies like on Golden pond, Amadeus, maybe leaving Las Vegas. Leave the fun science fiction movies... For smart people who know what it's all about. Entertaining laughs and positivity.
Bad Boys for Life (2020)
Where's the fun? Here's an honest review.
The movie is dark. And Will Smith does 70% of the action. Martin barely does anything. They definitely focused on drama. They try to make this movie dramatic and forgot about one thing...fun. this is supposed to be an action comedy. Barely any comedy and the action is so dark. You just don't simply care about the characters. And it drags on and on and on. My gosh. Anyone who gave it more than four stars... Have you ever really seen a good movie before or are you just all fake?
Underwater (2020)
No character development, no direction, no point
Heres another movie that could have had a lot of potential but they dropped the ball. Do we care who dies in this movie? No because there was no character development. They know nothing about the creatures and don't even try to figure them out. It is NOT aliens, Abyss, Godzilla not even Leviathan. Not even close. Nobody is tough or smart, no leaders, And I wish I knew how the light never goes out in their suits. Dark, shaky, difficult to watch. Lets not forget the amount of pressure there is at that depth, 7 miles down about 15,000psi. None of that matters in this Hollywood movie. They botched it.
A Quiet Place (2018)
It did what it was supposed to do
I like creature features. This is a good villian...and it scared my family. So why not have a string in the yard with a bell on it? Or locks on the door? how about even closing the doors? How about a few safe rooms in the house? More nails on the floor? Very good sound effects in the movie
The Christmas Chronicles (2018)
Keep those magical Christmas movies coming
Christmas Vacation is my #1 favorite Christmas movie along with my #2 elf.
We watched this Christmas movie and I will give it a 8.8/10. First the negatives: 1. Santa Claus does not steal cars. 2. The title is the Christmas Chronicles and that is just plain dumb. It should have been titled "Santa lost his bag" or "Santa's hat". 3. Elves seem to fight a lot in today's Christmas movies. The positives about this movie are: 1. Kurt Russell is quite amusing as Santa Claus, and the two children do a good job as actors. 2. the reindeer look great and the scenes with Santa sleigh are pretty magical. 3. The North Pole looked fantastic and little children will definitely be in Fantasyland. We will add this to our list as movies to watch every Christmas.
The Christmas Chronicles
211 (2018)
Total waste of time
Well Nicolas Cage does very little in this movie except for shooting an excessive amount of bullets Non-Stop with not reloading. And I don't believe that officers carry this many bullets on them. He shot hundreds of them back at the bad guys who had automatic weapons. That's pretty much all he did in this movie. Plus he's a terrible shot. When the bad guys are running towards him, nobody can hit anybody. it's a joke and one more thing when somebody gets shot in the leg they typically don't die, unless you're in this movie because this movie sucks.
