Dracula (1931) - Rated 25 Sep 2025

Dracula is an entertaining movie which is easy to watch and understand the historical significance of it. All of the elements of the story have been told again and again with slight variations. Bela Lugosi's performance in this movie is iconic. There are parts of it that I can see the brilliance but there are other parts of it that just seem goofy from a modern context. I loved the Van Helsing character as well as the Renfield character. Most of the rest of the cast was adequate.

M3GAN (2022) - Rated 21 Sep 2025

M3GAN has a little bit of everything. There are moments of dark comedy. A few moments of very touching drama between M3GAN, the young girl, and Allison Williams character. The casting is great which is why these moments of drama and sweetness work so well. The child, Caty I think, is good as far as child actors go. Finally, the suspense and horror in this movie are great. It tends to lean more towards suspense than outright horror but the moment with the young boy especially was memorable.

Exposed (2016) - Rated 24 Aug 2025

Exposed was incredibly slow and the only thing that kept me watching the movie was I was waiting for them to tie up the two different story lines. I'm not sure that I liked how everything was tied up but it was an interesting way to look at abuse and the ways that it affects people's ways of seeing things. I enjoyed the surreal aspects of the movie and I loved the design of the "angels." The acting was mediocre throughout. I like Keanu Reeves but this character's backstory was underdeveloped.

Troy (2004) - Rated 23 Aug 2025

I don't recall enjoying Troy the first time I saw it. I probably felt like it was too long and the beginning of the movie takes a while to get started. I enjoyed it during this most recent viewing of the film. The acting is fantastic in this film. Brad Pitt was good but he wasn't my favorite. I'm sure they could have found somebody better but his star power did a lot for the box office. Eric Bana was really the outstanding performance of this movie. I could see myself watching this one again.

Saving Private Ryan (1998) - Rated 21 Aug 2025

Saving Private Ryan is a gorgeous movie. The acting is out of this world. Tom Hanks is especially suited for his role. Tom Sizemore and Billy Crudup also are outstanding. The sound design really brings this movie alive. The opening scene on Omaha Beach is one of the biggest showpieces of filmmaking in the last 50 years. I'm not a fan of war movies but this is one war movie that nearly anyone can enjoy in my opinion. The drama of this movie is heart wrenching without being cheap.

Mission: Impossible III (2006) - Rated 14 Aug 2025

I was never a fan of the second movie but after having watched that then this movie. I can honestly say that I like that one much better than this third entry to the series. I understand that in all of the movies there is a love interest and it's good to ramp things up in sequels so they decided to do the wedding but I just don't see it. I wasn't a fan of the actress either. Phillip Seymore Hoffman is a brilliant villain. I would have loved to see him in this kind of role more. It's just okay.

A Fish Called Wanda (1988) - Rated 10 Aug 2025

Parts of this movie were slow but it was funny and smart throughout. I loved Kevin Klein in this movie. He is really the standout performance. While the romance between Cleese and Curtis didn't seem plausible at all at the beginning, they did a good job of selling it during the second half of the movie. It isn't a laugh out loud comedy but it is funny and smart. I could definitely see myself going back to watch this movie again and again.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992) - Rated 09 Aug 2025

I could see myself coming back to rerate this movie down the road. I just finished the original series for the first time so of course I moved on to this movie. I loved some of the more out-there Lynch stylistic choices in this movie. As an origin story to Laura Palmer, I think it did a good job of filling in that part of the story. There are some extreme parts to this movie that were hard to watch but they didn't turn me off and they actually added to Laura's story. I need another viewing of it

Dragnet (1987) - Rated 31 Jul 2025

For people who grew up watching Nick-at-Night, this update of Dragnet is fun. Aykroyd and Hanks have a lot of charisma. Dragnet tries to be an 80's/90's farce but it takes itself a little too seriously to make it all the way. There are a lot of funny bits in the movie. Some of them are funny only to fans of Dragnet but many of them would be funny to any audience. I didn't like the love story that they tacked on to the movie. The woman wasn't a good actress and it didn't improve the movie for me.

Beavis and Butt-Head Do America (1996) - Rated 29 Jul 2025

Beavis and Butt-head Do America holds up alright in some places and doesn't in other places. Movies like this tend to feel like just a long episode of the series but this movie actually feels like a movie that can stand on it's own with it's own merits. A lot of the fun of this movie is hearing the voice acting. Robert Stack is really the star of this movie because the juxtaposition of his voice on the lines he delivers just makes his role a lot of fun. The story is good and it ends in a fun way
