Twisters 2024/ 6.8/ 123 min This one was way better than the 1996 Twister
movie. It had better characters, better vehicles, better CGI , and a more
interesting plot. I expected blah, like the ‘96 one, but was pleasantly
surprised and entertained the whole movie. My only disappointment was not
seeing a house land on a wicked witch. Aunty Em Aunty Em. I give this a 7.4
Fly Me
To the Moon 2024/ 6.9/ 132 min Another movie I didn’t have high expectations for, but I found it
pretty entertaining. Woody Harrelson kinda steals this one. I’m not sure if it
would be as good if you weren’t alive in 1969, and remember the moonwalk (not
Michael Jackson’s) live. Or did I ?? Movie makes me wonder. I give it 7.2
The Forge
2024/ 8.3/ 123 min I was on a
roll with 2 good movies and wanted to keep it going with a highly rated one. What I got was a two hour church service. I’ve
seen so many movies with plot twists, I kept waiting to find out that they were
pedophiles or secretly a satanic cult. Nope. No plot twists. Just a two hour
recruitment movie for Christianity. I gave it a 5.0 and will probably go to
hell for it.
Dune: Part
2 2024/ 8.2/ 167 min I had to go back and rewatch Dune 1, because
I really didn’t remember it which makes this one a 5 hour investment. Movie started right where the last one ended,
and I thought it was better than the first one. More epic battle scenes with
the locals using the terrain to max advantage. My only gripe about this one is, while it
wraps up all the immediate loose ends, it leaves it open for future epics. By
the time a part 3 comes out , I will have forgotten the first two and have to
start all over again. I give this one
the 8.2 the masses gave it.
The
Wild Robot 2024/ 8.4/ 102 min I’m not really sure why this movie is rated
this high, but it is pretty original instead of a sequel. The movie is cute,
with interesting characters (the opossum mom my favorite). The robot raises a
duck. That’s pretty much the movie. I give it a 7.6
Buffalo
Kids 2024/ 6.8/ 83 min An actual western that was
enjoyable. Funny that it was made by a foreign country. Two Irish orphans are stranded in NY and must
go to San Francisco to meet their uncle. You get train robbers, Indians, and buffalo
(hence the name of the movie). Bout time some foreigners made a decent western
even if it is without a Ennio Morricone soundtrack. I give it 7.4
Abigail
2024/ 6.8/ 109 min The moral of this movie is, be careful who
you kidnap. This bloody vampire gore-fest is a little slow starting but then
the plot twists kick in. Good special effects keep it interesting and luckily
the ballerina stuff is kept to a minimum. I give it a 7.4
Godzilla
x Kong: The New Empire 2024/ 7.2/ 115 min I don’t know why I’m sitting through my
hundredth Godzilla or Kong movie. I’ve
never really thought they were that good, clear back to the Godzeera days. This one was pretty much the same as all the
others. I give it a 6.3
Saturday
Night 2024/ 7.0/ 109 min For anybody ancient ( that’s as old as I am)
that remembers when Saturday Night Live started and remembers the original cast
members, this movie was really interesting. For anyone else, it’s 109 minute of
the chaos that went into airing the first show. They did a god job of casting,
finding people who at least resemble the cast and the people involved. I gave
it a 7.5 for the nostalgia and some really good jokes.
Bad
Tidings 2024/
7.5/ 80 min Hear me out on this one. A made for British TV movie?? Sounds like
my worst nightmare. I was wrong. The movie is basically Home Alone but with adults.
Two feuding neighbors must team up to keep their neighborhood from being
burglarized. And the best part....no Macaulay Culkin. I agree with the masses and give it 7.5
The
Six Triple Eight 2024/ 7.7/ 130 min This was pretty good true movie about an all
women black company in WW II that gets assigned to sort mail. I was shocked to
find out that they weren’t always accepted and were sometimes treated rather
rudely. And people used the n word pretty freely. It reminded of the movie
Hidden Figures which was also a good movie. I give this 7.4
If
2024/ 7.2/ 104 min A bittersweet
movie about a girl coping with her mom’s death and her father’s illness. The
imaginary friends (IF) are pretty cute and there are some laughs there, but
this wasn’t the comedy I expected. I do
have to give it credit for originality. I felt a little screwed over that when
I closed my eyes and tried to conjure up a cute imaginary friend, I got nada,
bupkis. So I give it 6.7
