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"
The Phantom (1996) - Rated 23 Jul 2025
"I loved this movie as a kid. I remember being excited to see it. I remember enjoying it when I did end up seeing it. It might be a harbinger that I never owned this movie on video so I must not have loved it that much. I love Billy Zane but he was boring in this movie. He was definitely handsome but there just wasn't much for him to sink his teeth into. Treat Williams was good at times. He was over-the-top at times and I wish that Zane could have matched that. The story was utter nonsense."
The Crow (1994) - Rated 20 Jul 2025
"This was a major movie for my generation. It was unique that it was based on a graphic novel. It was original because the star was the son of Bruce Lee. It was one-of-a-kind because it had a soundtrack that so many people played the ever-living shit out of. I still listen to it. Sadly, it will always be remembered for the tragic death of the star, Brandon Lee. In spite of that tragedy, The Crow became a beloved movie. The story is cool without being cringy. The acting punches above it's weight."
The Rocketeer (1991) - Rated 17 Jul 2025
"I remember loving this movie as a kid. Kids have shit for taste. The Rocketeer isn't terrible but it's not great either. I grew up with these kinds of movies - the Nazis were always the bad guys and a chiseled faced American would find the courage to bring them down. It's simple and gets the job done and that is this movie in a nutshell. There are some fun parts to the movie. There are some great acting moments - Timothy Dalton and Alan Arkyn. I think this property could be great but this wasn't"
Darkman (1990) - Rated 16 Jul 2025
"I don't think I clocked this movie as being a comic book movie the first time I watched it. I was probably ten years old at the time so forgive me for being ignorant. Watching it now I can see all of the influences. I love the Raimi-ness of this movie. The horror elements mixed with absurdity/comedy are perfect for a comic book style tale. The acting is really good. Darkman is a very good movie but the character doesn't have enough to it to sustain it as a franchise."
Miami Connection (1988) - Rated 14 Jun 2025
"Miami Connection was a rollercoaster of a movie. There is some terrific over-the-top violence at the beginning and the end of the movie. There are cheeseball lines littered throughout, comically terrible musical interludes, and some of the worst acting that I've ever seen in anything. There is a lot of 80's moxie to love in this movie. While I had tons of fun watching this movie, it is just too uneven. If it had just been insanity throughout - great, but it decided to take itself seriously."
