80 63% Dumbo (1941) - Rated 09 Mar 2024
"Dumbo might not hold up to modern standards but it still is a good film. The story of a mother's love is a wonderful story for the intended audience. I didn't find the crows as offensive as I remember them being but the song that the men sing while putting up the tent is definitely one the deserves to stay in the past. I found the drunken hallucination pretty funny from a modern perspective but it was also visually stunning, especially in 4K. It's a great movie with a perfect pace."
80 63% The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005) - Rated 22 Feb 2024
"Even with all of the overwrought religious symbolism throughout the film, Narnia is still a fun adventure between the forces of good and bad. It is the perfect movie for a young adolescent who is ready to see something with a bit more adult themes than they may be used to. Tilda Swinton as the White Queen is perfection. Liam Neeson is spot-on as the voice of Aslan. Jim Broadbent belongs in any movie based in the U.K. The kid actors were good. The special effects aren't great. It's a lot of fun."
40 3% Prisoners of the Sun (2013) - Rated 20 Feb 2024
"Prisoners of the Sun had brief moments of Egyptian adventure that made it just good enough to watch. The story is a mix of Egyptology and alien mythology. I though the acting was okay overall. The movie looked much better than it had any right to look and some of the effects were good. The script was just terrible and cliched. I don't think I would ever watch it again but if they made a sequel, which they hit you over the head with at the end, I will check that out. Enjoy it on a rainy day."
70 36% The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019) - Rated 12 Feb 2024
"I really enjoyed the first Lego movie. The humor was quick and smart. The voice acting was well done. The music was catchy. The story was well suited for both kids and adults. This movie follows that same formula to a good effect but it feels more like well worn territory that a novel idea like the first movie. The story does have some twists in it and it pulls everything together to have a good message for the audience. The theme song is almost as fun and catchy as the one in the first film."
70 36% Brimstone (2016) - Rated 03 Feb 2024
"Guy Pearce is one of the most terrifying villains that I have seen. His character's preternatural ability to show up at the worst times and in a very Terminator-like fashion just kept coming. Dakota Fanning's character was so strong yet so sad. The abject pain of the events in her life helped shine a spotlight on those few brief moments of peace and joy. This is not a happy movie but it is an interesting movie. Like Requiem for a Dream it's something to be watched once. It is a lushly shot film."
80 63% Edge of Tomorrow (2014) - Rated 29 Jan 2024
"Edge of Tomorrow does a lot of things very well. The action and effects are great. The sound of the movie really holds the audiences' attention. The plot of the movie, while a mixture of a hundred other stories, remixed itself into something unique. I found the love story to be overwrought but it does make sense when you think about how much time the two of them spent with each other over the span of thousands of lifetimes. I love an antagonist that has some mystery to it still."
60 17% Season of the Witch (2011) - Rated 27 Jan 2024
"It's much better than most people give it credit for. If you are looking for a Dungeons & Dragons type of story then this movie will be right up your alley. There is a lot going on in this movie but the plot is simplistic. The acting is well done with a few moments of levity to help give some character to the script. I found most of the effects in the movie to be good for the budget. The changes to the wolves and the demon CG looked cool. I could see myself watching this movie again."
80 63% In Time (2011) - Rated 22 Jan 2024
"In Time has a very unique plot that added something new to the sci-fi genre. Something that I loved about this movie is that the setting was modern day Los Angeles. They didn't need any super special effects for this movie and I think that it was better for it. Timberlake wouldn't have been my first choice for a leading man but he was good. Seymore was great as an unaffected rich girl. Murphy was phenomenal as usual. I would have loved to have seen a sequel to this movie which I don't say often"
80 63% Jungle (2017) - Rated 22 Jan 2024
"Jungle is a gripping tale of three ignorant, overzealous adventurers who follow an untrustworthy man into the Bolivian jungle. The untrustworthy man, Karl, seems much more sinister in the set-up and suspense of the adventure but he is less so after the parties separate. The photography, score, and sounds of the jungle are great. The story is interesting. It was a very suspenseful movie, having gone in with zero knowledge about the movie or the events in it. I liked the ending too."
60 17% Friendsgiving (2020) - Rated 21 Jan 2024
"Friendsgiving would have been better if it were a little more relatable. There is something about a Hollywood movie that is focused on Hollywood that just doesn't sit right with me. The friendships in the movie attempt to be relatable to a general audience but I never really feel at home. The casting of this movie was great. There were some fun moments in this movie but I ended up just wanting more. I don't think that this movie will be a favorite of mine but I didn't regret my time with it."
