Bullet Train (2022)

Walked out after 30 minutes

[1/10 · 15 August 2022]

Worst movie Ive ever seen. First movie I walked out of after 30 minutes since I Spy several years ago.

Out of the 20 or so people in theater, Id say all were at least 60-75 years old. One lady left before us but several followed our lead.

I'm always first onboard for Brad Pitt movies but this one stunk. Must have been 40 brutal. Bloody murders in first 10 minutes not to mention 800 F Bombs in first 5 minutes. This is worse than the Kill Bill movies.

Gonna pay more attention to trailers before I go see a Brad Pitt movie again.

I guess when you have a lack of good movies ideas you revert to the old stand byes, violence and F Bombs.

Bullitt (1968)

Its okay

[4/10 · 9 May 2021]

Other than the famous chase scene, this movie is nothing special. If released today it would flop.

Honest Thief (2020)

Worked for me

[7/10 · 31 December 2020]

What can I say. I'm a Liam fan. I never miss his or Gerard Butler new movies. Would love to see one with both of them. Wouldn't that be worth a rental and a good take n bake pizza. I'm in!

Falling Down (1993)

Older it gets the more timeless it becomes

[9/10 · 24 September 2020]

The movie is from 1993. If you watched it at the box office, or on VHS, it likely had an impact for average hard working Americans. Because the story could be told over hundreds of years in the past, and now 27 years later still applies.

The story is tragic, but still applies to many families today, and unfortunately will unfold in many families this year and beyond.

One of Michael Douglas best performances

Take Shelter (2011)

Different

[6/10 · 29 July 2020]

Pretty much on a dark note, but good prevails. Man of the house does what he thinks is the best way to protect his family. A time tested reality. Nothing wrong with that

Greyhound (2020)

Tom Hanks couldnt save

[5/10 · 27 July 2020]

Not even Tom can make a bad movie good. Not enough time giving background and history. Elizabeth Shue was stunning but what was the point? They dropped the ball on her character. What could have been a great war movie was just mediocre to me. Bummed. Signed up for apple tv just for movie.

Ad Astra (2019)

Wow. This was just bad

[2/10 · 20 June 2020]

Im still trying to process how bad this movie was. Love Brad and Tommy Lee, but this movie is a stain on their career. Neither one of these guys belong in outer space.

Go back to your roots. War movies, fbi, cops, manly stuff. Wow. Im still in shock how bad this movie is

Grant (2020)

Learned some new things

[8/10 · 7 June 2020]

I appreciate not making this an overtly political mini series, but more of a way to humanize an American hero. History should be remembered and memorialized as it actually happened. Since i wasn't there, i dont know the whole story. My gut feeling is this was an effort to portray the truth of U.S. Grant as he should be remembered in American history.

Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo (1944)

Captured the moment

[9/10 · 25 May 2020]

For a war movie that was produced while the war was still raging, and without the benefit of instant facts or modern technology, this is an Exceptional film. In retrospect, look at the facts and history of the Doolittle raid and you will agree.

The Last Full Measure (2019)

History

[7/10 · 25 April 2020]

If this story wasnt o hollywood-ized, it is a great story worthy of producing.

Valor is defined in many ways. Valor in war is rewarded on the highest level.

Thanks for this movie

American Graffiti (1973)

One of the best of all time

[10/10 · 22 March 2020]

This was the first movie i ever watched multiple times. The only way to do that in 1973 was to watch it at the theater. With my paper route money i went to the local theater 16 times to see it. As a fifteen year old it captured my spirit. I brought the double album soundtrack and tried to live the spirit of the story. How many acting, and producer, director, and spin offs came from American Graffiti?

American Graffiti is American Gold

Richard Jewell (2019)

Hero

[8/10 · 18 March 2020]

Richard Jewell truly is a hero. Shameful how he was treated by the FBI and the media. My guess is he never dis get an apology from either. Looks like neither one has changed their ways. If anything rhey have for worse.

Great job bringing this story to the screen. God bless Richard Jewell

Dark Waters (2019)

Not Erin Brockovich

[7/10 · 12 March 2020]

Good story about the evils of DuPont regarding PFOA but story and movie nowhere near as compelling as Julia Roberts and Albert Finney in Erin Brockovich.

Stone (2010)

A slow drone

[2/10 · 10 March 2020]

Was difficult to stay interested. Just droned on and on. Norton came across more as an actor than believable. Maybe it was the writing or story. Not a memorable movie

Project Blue Book (2019–2020)

Like it a lot

[9/10 · 4 March 2020]

Dont tey to compare it to other series, just judge it on its own, its great.

Knives Out (2019)

Delightful

[8/10 · 2 March 2020]

Worked for me. Classic type of mystery, who done it flicks in a tasteful way with very good actors. If you like mysteries, this is a good watch.

The Town (2010)

Mediocre

[3/10 · 23 February 2020]

Mediocre says it all... but i have to say more to write a review. Okay, had big hopes after the first 15 minutes then had to deal with the lull of a developing romance. Its just a blend of the same old stuff.

Midway (2019)

A real dud

[2/10 · 19 February 2020]

This poorly done bersion of the epic battle is a discrace to the men and women that fought in the Pacific. The old version from the 1970's with a blockbuster cast was way, way better. Quaid, Woody and the rest should be embarrassed to be a part of this joke. Are they that hard up for money to work on this? The graphics are more gross than DeNiro in the Irishman. It was a waste of $1.80 at Redbox

Dragged Across Concrete (2018)

Painfully boring

[2/10 · 26 January 2020]

Slow, slow, slow. This movie was painful to watch it was soooo slooooow.

So slow that it gave my tv and blue ray a power surge. When i got everything turned back on i opened the blue ray, put the movie in the Redbox sleeve and went to bed. Maybe I missed some excitement missing the end of the movie but no way it could have made up for the first hour or more of boredom. Worse than the Impeachment trial..

Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019)

Superb.

[9/10 · 16 January 2020]

Tarantino scores. Brad and Leo are at the top of their game.

Thank you For not slaughtering Sharon Tate in the flick. Much better story watching the Mansfield morons get munched on and fried

Gemini Man (2019)

What happened to Will Smith

[1/10 · 16 January 2020]

Remember when Will Smith made good movies? Gemini Man was simply a "Dud".

Just bofre Gemini Man I watched Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. What a contrast

Joker (I) (2019)

Dark as expected

[6/10 · 10 January 2020]

Fitting the theme for Gotham, Arthur is a very, very disturbed person. Joaquin was outstanding. Personally I dont like Bob DeNiro so the highlight of movie for me was watching Arthur splatter his brains all over in one of the final scenes

Long Shot (2019)

Lowered rating

[1/10 · 4 January 2020]

The first half the movie had me rate it 7, but the second half rose to a typical leftist slant.

Was a fun romantic had the liberal views of the producers geared it baxk a few notches

Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)

Worked for me

[8/10 · 5 November 2019]

Did not disappoint. Lots of action and best special effects yet for a Terminator movie. Linda Hamilton rocked it and Arnie played his role perfectly. This is the best episode in the series since Terminator 2

Glass (2019)

Didn't get it

[2/10 · 20 October 2019]

McAvoy was outstanding but I just didn't get it. Guess I need to read more comics.
