Charlie Sheen actually can act. He just chooses not to. He’s rather good in Platoon. But serious acting is hard work, and he prefers hookers and blow to hard work. If he had taken a different path with his life, he might have become a respected Oscar caliber actor like his father. Instead, he has done nothing worthwhile since Platoon. Nic Cage is another actor I would put in this category. Cage is actually a phenomenal actor. He even has an Oscar. But he has squandered his talent since Leaving Las Vegas on garbage. In his case it’s due to having a lot of debt and tax problems, which leads to him taking any role he can. I’ve read/heard Cage has a serous overspending problem, and can blow through money like almost no one else. Both of them have tons of natural acting ability that they’ve squandered, and get a bad rap from all the garbage they’ve made.
Rango - Not bad. Not great. 6/10 Valerian - Dumb movie. Horrible acting. Looked nice. 5/10 The Purge Election year - It sounded like a great idea for a movie but it sucked. 310 Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - Second time I've seen it. I wish there would be a Restaurant at the End of the Universe squeal 8/10 Pitch Perfect 2- It was okay. 6/10 Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World - Did this movie have a plot? 7/10 Explorers - I remembered this being good but it was really shit. 3/10 Remember the Titans - Boring 6/10 La La Land - I'm not sure why it won so many awards. 6/10
Ri¢hie Ri¢h Some may say that Home Alone was Macaulay Culkin's greatest movie. I would ask, have you seen Ri¢hie Ri¢h?
Kong Skull Island. I honestly believe someone bet the director of Kong that he couldn't make everything look as badass as possible, to which he replied 'Hold my beer'. I've never cared for Kong, always preferred Godzilla, but my mate said I should watch this and I'm glad I did. It delivers everything you want. You see Kong a lot in this film, and not the shitty dark 'what's even happening' seeing the monster like in 2014's Godzilla, but broad daylight 'here's what you came to see' seeing the monster. samuel L Jackson is hilarious over the top in this. I don't think I've ever seen a character in any form of media who's clearly more consumed with hatred and revenge than his character in Kong. It's comical how he's impossible to intimidate in this film, even when face to face with Kong. Great film if all you're looking for is a giant gorilla fucking shit up. Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Loved the first, this was even better somehow. An infinitely more interesting villain. More humour. More Yondu. (love me some Yondu, he's awesome). And I even grew to love baby Groot after not giving a shit about him based on the trailers. If you liked the first one you should see this one.
I just watched Valerian. Visually, it was very impressive. That is the only positive. Acting was abysmal and the story was trash. Chaotic, no cohesion, and full of massive plot holes and nonsense. What a colossal disappointment.
Right. My wife said the same thing and it occurred to me that maybe it made perfect sense to the 16 and under crowd and it only seemed completely stupid to old people. Jumanji It has it's own charm but I don't think it can top the original.
Life Astronauts on board the ISS analyse a sample of life from Mars. But things go wrong. So wrong. An interesting sci-fi film with a lot of horror elements. There’s a lot of convenient stupidity as it progresses but never enough to ruin it. Worth a stream of an evening but don’t go out of your way. 7 out of 12 stars.
The number of times following basic procedure would have saved them. I was rooting for the alien throughout.
The Cloverfield Paradox I thought it was going to be a mini series but it was a whole movie. I thought it was fun and as a "free" Netflix movie I give it a 7/10. If I'd had paid for it I would have given it a 5/10.
Roman J Israel Esquire It's a good Denzel performance inside of a mediocre movie. I'd give the movie a 5/10, but Denzel's performance is an 8/10.
Thor Ragnarok Pretty good as Marvel movies go. 7/10 The Mountain Between Us Kate Winslet gets stranded in the mountains after a plane crash with black super stud Idris Elba. They end up banging. I think the "mountain" is a double entendre that also refers to his boner. 7/10
Pitch Perfect 3 Not funny. Trying too hard. Just awful. 2/10 Murder on the Orient Express So boring I fell asleep the first time I tried to watch it. Then when I rewatched it while awake, I realized I missed nothing and the movie was just boring and bad. 3/10
Star Wars: The last Jedi I'm not sure how I felt about this one. The forced humor was odd and Luke was a pussy. Everything else was good. 7/10.
Top Gun When I saw this movie as a kid, I didn't pick up on all of the homoerotic subtext. And man this is a gay movie. Half of it is like a long shower/locker room/shirtless beach volleyball scene with guys slapping each other on the ass. Cruise had more romantic chemistry with Kilmer than he did with Kelly McGillis. They had a love/hate thing where I felt like they were going to kiss at any moment. There's a shirtless beach volleyball scene set to the song playing with the boys. There's a guy ranting and raving about how he wants butts and he wants them now. This movie is like a recruiting film for the Navy, and sailors tend to be gay, so I guess it knows its target audience.
Dunkirk A bit of a mind fuck but good. People that say it was boring are whiny baby mouths. Kingsman The Golden Circle I was worried it was going to be stupid. The first half wasn't but the second was. So I guess it wad half stupid.
