Nosferatu (2024)
Eggers 1st half atmoshpere was topnotch thats IT.
Eggers played us all and was not what we signed up for. He looked like a russian gypsy. A taylor is a horrendous actor in this as he was hard to watch in his limited role. Thomas in th first half of the film when he journeys to meet with orlok. Havent seen the the original to be fair but it made me not want to. Jonny depps daughter was overacting and not in a good way she just lacks presence. Thomas and orlocks little helper believe it or not were fantastic in theyre roles. The plague and ship scenes were decent then the movie gets ridiculously boring and hard to watch. The first half did contain a dread a tense underpinning to be fair... that was the best part and skarsgaurds orlock was not good. William dafoe was wasted as well.
Batman Begins (2005)
This is Nolans real masterpiece BEST i REPEAT Batman film
The epic glaciers of Batman begins eveil a truly marvelous origin story of bravery forditude courage. My favorite batman film with our favorite mentor Liam neeson our favorite batman and the perfect Bruce wayne who dance between honor hero and smug social climber. Both masks btw worn by a messmerizing performance. I know very many tought the dark knight as the quintisential batman because of the joker although compelling this story actually focuses on our heroes inner and outter journey. Gary oldman ofcoarse yhe perfect Gordon steadfast in a world of near complete corruption. Gotham is like pivking up a dug in rock and watching all the creepy ugly bugs scurry off.
Cutthroat Island (1995)
Only worth the Explosions
So this is a movie i have been wanting to see for years because renny harland has directed some of my favorite movies and sequels to movies bevuase of his explosive stylalized filming. Bruce willis and sylvester stallone also helped those movies hands down but this movie has aged like total crap with a side of total cheeze cornyness to go around. I love pirate movies too but Gina davis was horrible and the characters were plain ridiculous as well as the costar whatever his name is. Not worth remembering although Frank langella made a halfway decent menacing villain. The ultimate goal of this movie was to spend as much money on pyrotechnics and explosions as possible which the last and Final one was actually very cool.
Das Relikt (1997)
Saw this in theater & STILL a TOPNOTCH B film - Gem
Creature features are my personal forte...and this one is a prime example of pace charismatic clever characters and damn cool premise based on a Novel. Great atmosphere even at some unbelievable moments. Cutts straight to point with little hesitation and great effects. Acting was clever and punchy all the characters had a purpose. So floundering b players were at a minimum but with maximum afluence. Peter hyams movies are a usually visally appealing movies. So for me a double plus having him at the helm he pulls the most out of an atmosphere. I can feel great saying that This one of the better lost GEMS of the 90's.
MacGruber (2010)
Will forte is a absolute shameless presence
Talk about before its time and beyond raunchy sharp immature a bit groundbreaking. I didnt even want to see this originally and cant stand most new snl characters. But this ridiculous movie ranks up there as far as comedies go. Lose your ego have an open mind and be prepared to be caught off gaurd. Ryan phillipe is annoying in his own way. But the charachters really bought into what they were trying to selll. An off the rails parody that manages to NOT be corny. There was a allot of balls to make a movie like this. Never even realy knew about will forte untill this movie happened. After that yeah...
Salem's Lot (2024)
Salems lot was my first nonfiction book read.
The pure evil of these vampires was what all vampire movies should have had. These were scary and relentless all hell. I loved the GOD vs Evil transformation of a peaceful community into well. Read the book or watch the movie or watch the original. Barlow NEEDED far more screen time but his moments were BRUTAL if u want to see everyone act but Mark who has zero charisma that kills allot of the vibe in the movie this ones for you. If u can manage to ignore his poorly cast outlier of a character that is wooden as hell watch this puppy. Past him the movie needed to be more fleshed out in terms of backstories. Still cool though better after a second viewing. Gets better if you have faith... ignore Dr. Cody and Mark and tou'll be fine... Ben Mears was a awesome old school hero.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)
Saw this with my nefew so the review gets bumped up
For a aging jones harrison still managed to make me believe again. The feminist agenda and horrible casting force feeding us an irritating motormouth know it all feminazi helena. (Ironically)... The premise was plot and subplot were barely cool enough to pass. Indianas aging freinds and colleuges who take t...* wont spoil the movie. The action and thrills were on and off. From the a cool idea to man thats dumb shoulda stayed on the editing floor. Personally i took my 12 yr old nefew to a indiana jones movie and that alone made it cooler. Harrison managed to pull some much needed charisma out of Indiana to overthrow Helens character at one or 2 key moments were the movie gets dumbed down by her presence... Officially a 6.1... gets an 8 for the moment.
Cliffhanger (1993)
PEAK stallone in the charisma olympics
Man the 90s were fun charisma olympics carries this circus soilei. The effects & tension out of thin air create a very. FUN characters with excellent casting... stallones girlfreind was the perfect amount of annoying. Its holds up today esspecially the explosive music. Look 1 corny line is a stallone staple even if he wasnt his aka the cave scene but it pusshed enough buttons to keep you in your seat. Saw this in the theater as well. Man it was cool as hell then... Im puzzled by the online egos who want to think for everyone else as to what is and isnt entertaining... I highly suggest Take the night off.
Hard Target (1993)
Prime Van damme Prime Woo TOPNOTCH
Man i saw this in theatre then rented it on vhs had 20+ dollars in lates fees. Then watched it on HBO endlessly its one of those movies that has a broad basic casting but is completely elevated by dare i say jean claude van dammes brooding mysterious performance... There is actual tension and a sense of hopeless dread in this movie that calculated quite well by Woos direction. BUt when chance the main character decides to impose his will... A glorious stunt fest creative daredevil sequences and barrels of endless bullets to go with a reimagining of the dealiest game... Good vs veryyy evil... i wont ruin it...
Son of the Pink Panther (1993)
Son of A
Saw thisbin the theater and it gets better with every showing. Blake edwards editing and fingerprints all over it. The best part is the tone it it is pink panther through and through. Everyone complains about it not living upt to ita predacesors but wait.... Peter sellers pasded away every9ne seems to forget. For what it is 10+ years adter the last poor outing. Peter is missed will always be missed but has a facinatinf new angle but same appraoch that oozes nostalgia. Its packed with moments although uneven. These are some quality comedy layers that make a teue pinl panther fan enjoy what it is...
Nevada Smith (1966)
What a great redemtion western
Bug mcqueen guy here i didnt realize how fantastic this movie was because it literally gets no attention. Apparently mcqueen plays a half indian half caucasion kid. Hey it worked a little older than the part required but eho cares the plat was cool and well developed with a lost soul finding his purpose and god. Yeah this is one of those movies that you will want to rewatch like bullit. The music and direction persuade you to believe mcqueens character and boy does he go above and beyond to get his way the mcqueen way. You gotta love the passion tpughness and persistence in this role. Makin freinds and enemies alike.
Meg 2: The Trench (2023)
B movies are EXACTLY THIS. Far Better then The 1st!!!
Man i loved it !!! This is the Roadhouse of shark movies in terms of poor acting ridiculous situations an evil sub plot with Cobra type villains who do predictable things and try super hard to convince us theyre role is important. Lmao The shark stuff is awesome!!!!!! I wont give you anymore than that Jason charisma statham give you a patrick swayze type performance. Everyone else is beyond forgetable. The Action is really fun PG-14 for sure. Builds on the ridiculous premise of this jurrasic world hidden but somehow there is a secret... i wont spoil it but it might be worth spoiling because it very absurd.... Anyway IF YOU LIKE CREATURE FEATURES and cult B movies Its for you.
Last Man Standing (1996)
A Fistfull of Willis
This movie has all the classic western ellements within the leone world of spagetti. I loved this movie how in the world does anyone with an ounce of testosterone not. Willis in his prime years of movie makinh and acting dishes out the charismatic drifter will little to say but plenty to well go watch the movie i dont want to ruin the badass shooting sprees that make this one of willises top characters. To cool to not like esspecially when put to the test.there is an even keeled based performance by willis that At times even in an unever mob movie was flawlessly executed no pun intended by Bruce. Enjoy this for what it is.
The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023)
Actors that have zero charisma including the villain
I love dracula the story of THE vampire as a mythology.... But with this underwehlming version unfolding although decent effects wooden characters that are stalked by a poor CGI megabat that isnt Dracula in my opinion. Period piece of Z list actors who dont make me believe anything. Boring... half gargoylehalf golum from lord of the rings. Inteligent movies are so rare these days... No mystery just ala carte outcomes on a large vessel. U want to like it at times and one or 2 times to b honest these was a sense of hope. Like hey they thia movie might be going somewere unseen and untold in any dracula movie made before. Nope .
John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)
Wick worn out and sluggish with 1 badass scene
So the second and 3rd john wick movies were blazing electric movies that took john wick to unbelievable levels. This 4th wick movie was water down and embaressingly woke with a corney addition to the wick roster of assasins. Kane somewhat saved the movie at times but the movie felt vague and amibiguous with endless fighting and wayy over the top action the
that took wick to a level of absurdity and crossed over to ridiculous and clever or as cool as part 3. Thr crafty skills wernt on display in the same they were in the last 3 movie outside of one glorious overhead camera shot of wick blistering through a apartment building. This scene alone bumped this film up into the above average relm.
Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood (2019)
QT's Best Movie .... I kid you not...
This is a multiple viewer %100 i love this movie more and more with every viewing. Leos character is far more charming than i gave him credit for the first 2 times watching this movie. Brads brooding effortless cool and robert like redford/mcqeen tuff guy mixture is the engine that drives this long lost tale of a hollywood anti-hero trying to navigate the EGO bloated landscape of hollywoods political machine sewing in the Manson cult that terrorized the moviestar socialite class of A generation of hippies growing stars actors and actresses. I Loved it Quenting is the only person on earth whos unique understanding of a golden eras transendance...
Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)
Ethan leading Man Hawke was the glue
Man i love this movie and i had no idea this was a remake... This was a more fun than i expected couda done without Jarule and his corny character thankfully it was for only a breif. The dialog is solid and believable at moments clever. Almost reminded me of Diehard 2 with its back against the wall tone, although more of a thriller with some very nice suprize moments. Larry fishburne plays a no nonsense gangster who your no sure about. Im a Detroit native so references and the backstory for me was cool too. Brutal at times with interesting humor that works under the circumstances with no facepalm moments.
Alien³ (1992)
My life changed in theater that day
What an absolute joke of a movie i dont care how stylalized fincher made this. He RUINED every post Aliens movies just by existing. Ripley Hicks and newt die. Pure hollywood grabbag of garbage. When Hick didnt return and weapons wernt allowed it was clear this movie wpuld suck ass. Can i unsee this overacted underwritten drag fest MTV style movie making experiance. Dont do Acid before directing a movie.... Never again. The characters morally corrupt souless bleak outlook of meloncholy made a dark noir psudo alien movie drunk on ego and more ego. Even Riply days that were numbered couldnt add urgency. Hopeless hopelost.
Crocodile Dundee II (1988)
Micks ALPHA legend continues
A tale of a fearleas man who does what he wants to get it done. The undertone is Mick whos a man who efortlessly navigates both the outback and the concrete jungle with gods instincts.
Jesus of Nazareth (1977)
Pure beyond words gives every moment meaning
I found myself so lost and absorbed by this immersive documentary thouroughly crafting the living christs existense and impact on our world detailing miracles moving through the world filling our souls with a warm healing grace...
King of Kings (1961)
Phenominal portrayal
This movie means more to me now than ever in my memory when i was a kid. A deeply profound adaption of the most important and meaningful story ever told. This is a film that ages like a fine wine. A summary more or less containing powerful messages to humanity brotherhood love and betrayal and what it all means.
Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
AWWWE.SOME.... A RIDE that GRIPS you
This was well worth the price of addmision. A total visceral joyride. I was literally off the edge of my seat IN A WAY i dont remember ever being watching a film like this... Ita captured the essence and then some...
Jaws 3-D (1983)
Dare i say good acting.... J A W S 3 IS its own movie
Dennis quaid playing brodys son 2 decades after the fact . More of a monster movie instead of a man vs nature flick. Everyone chill-out The original is not only an astonishing film its one of the greatest movies ever filmed to date. The sequels are just fun summer movies that give u an excuse. The actors r quite believable even if the 3rd and 4th act become insanel premises...Anyway Jaws 3 is better than a B flick. Half the people on IMBD are super dorks that need to lighten up.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
Indiana Jones and the most Annoying Cast Ever!
6/10 because there were some cool moments and ideas but good lord Indys co stars were dull as hell... The 3rd act was beyond abrurd and over the top and not in a good wayy. Felt forced... The 1st 30 mins were Nice...
Rogue (2007)
Had no idea this was based on a true story 10 +
Croc movies are mostly miss with a few cool scences depending on the FX... This is Super underrated movie and a10 all day mayb a borderline B movie that never stagnates... Tension with a Jaws like canvas and atmosphere... I can rewatch this and have rewatched this movie countless times.
