This is a very poor documentary. The editing is abysmal - the film feels disjointed and jumps all over the place; showing bits of film that have absolutely nothing to do with Clint Eastwood or about his career.

It is ridiculous when the narrator is talking about Hollywood's golden era in the 30's and show a clip of a theater moniker with Top Gun as the feature film.

There is no talk about his military career; there is nothing substantial about his start in the acting career and a quick blurb about his role in the spaghetti westerns. There is even someone talking about High Noon during the brief spaghetti westerns section. High Noon wasn't a spaghetti western thus showing the lack of quality fact checking.

From the first scene to the end; this special is absolutely awful.

What was the reason for Sandler to show up to the studio with a broken windshield? Was there a joke there? What was supposed to be funny about walking through the crowd in the alley? What was so funny about the kid with pictures of Sandler sleeping on his couch? What was so funny about the staff giving him coffee with the wrong sweetener? What was supposed to be funny about the video monitor not working?

The jokes felt forced and they were poorly written. I think that the audience was drunk or high because there wasn't anything worth laughing at.

A poor performance.

What a giant mess of a movie.

Did anyone read the synopsis of Lee Majors' The Fall Guy before production? The Fall Guy was about a stunt man who moonlights as a bounty hunter. Now that would have made a new franchise for the right director and actor. Sadly there is absolutely nothing (except the character name and movie title) that any similarity to the original idea.

Ryan Gosling is a terrible actor who has just come back into the public eye for being in another poor, but popular movie. He is awful as Colt and very miscast.

Emily Blunt is lifeless in her role and there is no chemistry between the characters. She looks like she was regretting this role.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson could win the award for worst actor of this generation. He was just as bad as Lex Luther in Batman vs Superman. Actually makes Jessie's god awful performance look better.

The central idea of this movie is pitiful: framing Colt for a murder he did not commit. Horrible screenplay. The entire drug induced sequence was one of the worst sequences in movie history. I guess someone thought that it would be funny, but it was annoying. The idea that an entire party of people would go along with things doesn't make sense. There were a lot of people in the room when the incident happened and that is conveniently ignored. I mention the aforementioned statement because at the end of the movie they are killing off witnesses- but that entire room of witnesses is ignored. Another example of bad screenwriting. That everyone is trying to kill Colt to cover up the crime is trite since the incident was an accident and calling the police would have probably just given the Taylor-Johnson character community service.

Finally let's look at the background movie being made - what a stupid and ridiculous idea. Space Cowboy loves alien.

Definitely on the list of crap movies.

Incident in a Small Town is a below average movie that was lacking an intelligent script.

I decided to watch this movie because I am a fan of Harry Morgan. I grew up watching him in M. A. S. H and Support Your Local Sheriff and Support Your Local Gunfighter. Even though he was at the twilight of his career, I was hoping for something good.

The entire movie could have ended with the court having the knowledge that the defendant was raped when she was young and thus producing a child. But the entire movie she argued about revealing this information with the lame excuse that it would hurt her son. Rather than tell the truth she lies and lies which actually demeans her character. She really is not considering her son because she would rather rot in prison than tell the truth; which would leave him without a parent.

What a stupid concept with a terrible character.

At least the producers were honest and gave us the true rating of this movie in the title: Axel F.

The cast is way too old for this movie to be believable. Sometimes you can get a seasoned cast together and it can work - but not this time.

The script was badly written and highly predictable. The second that you meet Kevin Bacon's character you already know that he is the main antagonist. You already know that eventually he is going to abduct Foley's daughter; you already know that Rosewood and Taggart are going to be pinned down together in a gun fight; and you already know the predictable ending.

Not a movie that I would recommend.

Dead Reckoning is the worse Mission Impossible ever made.

So what hurts this movie? The terrible story makes the movie feel like a big joke; the sheer stupidity of the thief constantly running away when she is told how dangerous the stolen item is; the fact that Hunt did not just shoot her and get the key that is destroying the world; the way too many chase scenes because of the idiotic thief; the cliche part of the story that Hunt's superior is directly involved; or the absolute abysmal performance of Hayley Atwell that completely destroys the film.

Atwell is annoying every single scene that she is involved in.

I am not sure if any movie can be dumber than Meg 2. What kind of idiot would try and keep a meg in captivity? What kind of idiot would swim with that meg? Why would anyone go back into the trench to once more be exposed to prehistoric sharks? How does a base mysteriously show up in an area- and at a depth- where no one can go? How does that base become built with prehistoric sharks around and not be attacked?

Meg 2 has so many plot holes; so many terrible situations; so many mindless actions and encounters; and some of the worse characters you have ever seen.

An absolutely terrible movie that is not worth watching.

I was surprised to see Gregory Peck in a movie as bad as Shoot Out.

The story was boring, predictable and poorly written. The scene where he meets the widow and all of the sudden she is in love with him was poorly executed and there was such a lack of chemistry between the two characters.

Of course, you knew the antagonist would bust in as soon as Peck hugged the woman. The scenes following were long and drawn out and they were annoying rather than the dramatic feeling that they should have received.

Acting was the absolute bottom of the barrel with the three gunmen being more annoying than JarJar Binx.

I am not sure how anyone rated this turkey above a 3.

You have seen this before - so many moments stolen from other monster movies and mashed together: the assistant who steals the creature's egg (Jurassic Park III), the person who steals for profit (Jurassic Park I and many other movies); the rope across the water (Rogue); these are just a few examples of unoriginal ideas taken from other films.

The idea that a multi thousand year old creature is alive without a substantial food source and just happens to have an egg ready to hatch is ridiculous. Add to the idiocy the assistant who risks everyone to take the infant creature back to civilization.

Not the worse movie, but not anything worth watching.

Disney decided to copy just about every aspect from the Brendon Fraser Mummy movies. Each of the three main characters are identical to the three mains of the Mummy and a bunch of the scene come straight from the Mummy movies.

The sad thing is that Johnson cannot act. He is an entertainer who can be good in the right situation, but this isn't one of them. Blunt was flat - very flat - not sure if she was trying too hard to be Rachel Weisz, but it was not her best performance.

The action was dull and boring - been there, seen it, and seen it again and again and again.

The story just fell apart at the end: 1- The cursed people can go so far from the river before it recalls them. But somehow the Rock gets his former companions into a cave - which by the way - would be closer to the water and imprisons them. That didn't make sense.

2- The story tells how the tree blooms every time the moon is at a certain stage. Of course, it happens during this cruise. But it also means that it happens often - so the fight for one petal (from the tree) doesn't make sense since the tree will rebloom as soon as that lunar cycle comes again.

3- The German character was such a bad, bad, bad and idiotic presence that was unnecessary - I guess they figured they would add an Indiana Jones moment to the film.

4- There was only one way into the tree's home - one way - yet Johnson slams his boat into the opening and seals it. Now, the water is right behind the wreck of the boat so the cursed individuals are still in range of the water (according to the earlier scenes) so that did not make sense. And then with the entrance sealed - how do they get out? If they free the boat then the cursed individuals come back - and without a boat how do they manage to get back to civilization? Did they swim all of those miles?

I gave this film a 5 because of the visuals. It is a decent rental film for a mindless adventure night. The story and acting are just terrible though.
