Obliterated (2023)
Cleverly funny
It's the actor's own fault. The shouldn't be so good at pulling the script off. So many shake my head and grin moments.
I bow to the entire cast. It must be hard to be a cast of full "the straight guy", you know the one who sets up the punch line, and the script is the punch line.
If I had not known it was a comedy I would have thought who did who it get this aired. Nice refreshing change. I am looking forward to watching the characters develop.
While I wait for next I will rewatch this season and see how many running jokes there are in each episode.
I enjoyed emptying my mind and being entertained and challenged all jokes aside there is still a crime to solve. Hopefully.
A Southern Haunting (2023)
Lazy writing
Actors did their best with a bad script. I forced myself to finish. I kept waiting for the horror got to the end and realized it was the writer writing.
Has the writer every seen a horror movie or read a horror book. Does the writer not know in order for a land to be cursed something more horrible then life had to have happened on it.
What could more horrible than human slavery?
Spoilers: What happened to the other body in the well? Was it a vengeful spirit, a loving spirit or a lost soul?
Most spirits hang around because they have unfinished business, to watch over love ones or they don't know they are dead.
She became free when she died.
She ran from slavery and left her family behind. And I sure she knew she died when ,from the looks of her body, she died of dehydration, starvation and/or exposure.
Big George Foreman (2023)
Good boxing bio
I thought here we go another dirt diving bio pic. I see Mr. Foreman in a whole new light. The movie is well told and I heard the message loud and clear.
No spoilers. This movie cleared up a few things that many of us misunderstood. I really hope the message is not missed.
While learning of his struggles we also learn of his triumphs. I was hoping to see a few of his great fights but this movie did not need them to hold my attention. This is a movie of substance and is entertaining without being preachy.
The acting is on point. Directing good. And the writing smooth. The story flow is easy to follow.
The Equalizer 3 (2023)
Good movie
I half expected this to be a dud being number 3. It wasn't. Action from the beginning to the end.
The best part for me was when they spoke Italian to Mcall he spoke back in English so I did not miss nothing. Not like some recent movies the will hold a whole conversation in the language the movie is set without sub titles. I feel like i missed lost of the plot.
I didn't miss anything. I like learning about different countries through the movies.
I going on because I don't want to give any spoilers and I have to make sure I use the right number of characters.
Any way they movie is good and worth the watch.
Outlaw Johnny Black (2023)
Worth the 2 hour watch
I really enjoyed this 70 vibe. The running joke almost flew over my head. I plan on watching it again just to play What movie is this from? I laughed and laughed. I reached foe my remote twice, I was in a movie theater, because I laughed so hard I mixed the next joke.
I don't want to say anything that would ruin it. But it is funny, well written and well directed. I wold like to see a director's commentary pointing out what movie each scene is playing homage to.
Well it was funny it also had a message. The casting was good. Story line flowed.
I think there might be a few movies Mr. White played homage to he isn't aware of.
The Boogeyman (2023)
Anxiety alert
I was about to turn it off in the first 10 min. Why this? Why that? WTH. Was all I could say. Forcing myself to watch more. Did writers not care anymore? Do they think we really don't pay attention to what's happening?
Why are all therapist and psychiatrist in movies such aholes? Whatever you take to keep you calm and relaxed have it on hand. It's not scary it's frustrating. To many why you do that. Reallys. Come ons.
Not one of his best works. Still forcing myself to watch in hopes it turns out good.
There's another really. I can't. I'm going try again another day my stomach in knots.
Best I have to say is this must be a plug for the electric company.
