American Nightmare (2024)
I lived there
My father was stationed on Mare Island. It was a pile of crap. The depiction of the Vallejo Police Department was spot on. They are lazy and when you need them they make it like a real inconvenience. When I lived there for 10 years crime was ramped with race wars, drugs, gangs, etc... but anyway the documentary was interesting but absolutely too slow where every word hand to be drawn out. This could have been much better in 1 or 2 smaller episodes. You can definitely tell that the characters in this were not actors. That would have probably made this much better. I say put them all in jail especially the VPD.
Strangers with Candy (2005)
This movie was absolutely Awful!
I was expecting a comedy and what I received was a tragedy! I continued to watch this movie just to see how bad it really could get. It was like a car wreak and I was a rubber necker. I would consider "It's Pat", "Manos: The Hands of Fate", the "Police Academy" series movies and others were better than this! I lost an hour and 25 minutes of my life that I wish I could get back. I can't believe that Stephen Colbert read the script and said to himself "Wow, this is a film I want to do!" The acting is horrible, the timing of jokes is even worse. I almost gouged out my eyes, shaved my head and threw dirt over myself. This movie wouldn't even be good on drugs! IMHO, avoid this movie at all cost!
The Tripper (2006)
I guess the best thing I could say about this is AVOID at all cost!
This has got to be one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. The acting is horrible and the scenes flipping back and forth are just an annoyance. The use of red as a fade seem that the director was trying for a Quentin Tarantino effect that seems to be lost on this movie. I think I would rather watch "Police Academy - Ten" before I watch this movie again. This movie tried to be a horror movie when in fact the movie itself is horrible. What did the writers think when they wrote this? Do they honestly believe that hippies are still around like they were in the 70's? Another point concerning this movie is it should have never been produced. I'm sure this movie will lose money. I guess the best thing I could say about this is AVOID at all cost! If you considered this movie good then I apologize if you think my comments are to critical.... I just enjoy good movies.
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)
The worst of the lot
This has to be the worst Star Wars movie I've seen in years. I can not believe that George Lucas would actually put this on film. The characters were so predictable and the acting was poor at best. I was fortunate enough to get free tickets. I would NEVER pay for this raspberry award winner! Clone Wars was great, the next one after that was okay.... This was just a total waste of time and film. I would have had a better time seeing Rocky XII. About the only good that came out of the midnight showing was that I won a raffle prize which contained star wars cards and a figurine. Well, my recommendation if you plan on seeing this film just to watch it like some grotesque accident, don't stare, you will fall asleep. For the people that are having problems sleeping, I feel the GL has found the perfect cure. I sure could hear a lot of snoozing. Next time bring the action and scrub the crappy storyline.
The Passion of the Christ (2004)
Epic - By far the best film I've ever seen!
Mel Gibson has captured what Jesus has suffered in any translation of the Bible. He has done a wonderful job depicting Jesus' last 12 hours. This film was amazing. I was in awe. I can't say enough about this film. It is a MUST SEE. James Caviezel's acting was thoughtful, heartfelt and from the soul. Watching for the small nuances like the worm crawling out of Satan's (Rosalinda Celentano) nose. Watching how Peter (Francesco De Vito) denied Christ and how the scene flipped back to how Jesus talked about how Peter would deny him. How Mary (Maia Morgenstern) , Jesus' mother, felt during Jesus' persecution. What Mary Magdalen saw when cleaning up the blood of Jesus during the scourging and the scene flipping back and forth. A True Masterpiece.
Beyond Borders (2003)
Good Movie, where do I send the check?
The movie had some great scenes and plenty of action. Not an Epic mind you but the film was well worth seeing. Makes you want to donate money right now. Watching this film while I was at my 15th anniversity scored points in the feeling column with my wife!
One Hour Photo (2002)
I can't believe this made it past the 20 minute rule
Garbage. I can't believe I watched the whole thing. If you cut out all the action in this film, you would still have to yawn your way through an hour and a half. Oh well, another $3.95 down the tubes and if your smart, you'll just keep your money in your pocket.
Thir13en Ghosts (2001)
Average Horror Film
Film had a good plot, Acting was good also. It just left you wanting more. The ghosts could have been seen more and a more demonic background would have made this film alot better. The idea behind the house was also good. I did notice that a couple times during the film it seemed like the Director didn't know what to film so they just did some shots of the house.
The Waterboy (1998)
Funny Period
Mindless movie and has lots of laughs. When you're underway on a six month deployment, this was one film we here on the Ship really enjoyed!
