It's a Wonderful Life (1946) The ultimate Christmas movie. First time seeing it colorized. Kind of weird about the color in the beginning, but it didn't bother me much very fast. A great movie with an excellent story is just as good colorized or not. Though I still prefer it black and white. .jpg) Maestro (2023) The movie looks good, and the music were great. The two lead were sensational, especially Carey Mulligan. However, I am very disappointed at the movie itself. There is a strong artsy element, but the story can be improved.  Crank (2006) Ultra action movie starring Jason Statham. The action gottne very over the top. As silly as it was, It was very entertaining, and funny at times especially when handling the ditzy girlfriend played by Amy Smart.  Godzilla Minus One (2023) The Godzilla movie is not campy like most, but with a serious back story with very similar tone for the classic 1950s original Godzilla movie. In fact, the story is not as much about Godzilla but about a redemption of a kamikaze pilot who felt disgraced by evaded duty in WWII. Excellent  Poor Things (2023) Visually stunning Sci-Fi fantasy story about a reanimated woman discovering about life, mostly sexual in nature. Seinfeld fans may think of it as a version of Rochelle, Rochelle. Emma Stone was just outstanding in this role. The movie was totally surreal, and shot in wide angle. The story did get pornographics at times with the sexual theme. If you are into something unusual and wacky and funny, this is the movie for you. I personally thought it was well made.  Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) Not a usual snappy Martin Scorsese movie, but an epic detailing of a malicious crime in the early 20s. With 3 1/2 hours, it was not boring at all. One of the best of the year. Robert DeNiro playing the villain at his best in a long time.  Ricky Gervais: Armageddon (2023) Politically incorrect stand up comedy. Sometimes you just feel Ricky Gervais was trolling on easily offended sensitive individuals. If you like his controversial opening speech in the Golden Globe award several years back, you'll love this one.  Spy Game (2001) Very good Tony Scott action spy thriller, with lots of editing as usual for his films. CIA Agent Robert Redford (Robert Redford) being interrogated about his former subordinate (Brad Pitts) possibility of working against the CIA. Mostly told in flashback.  Bill Burr: Paper Tiger (2019) Bill Burr poked fun of the recent politically correct culture. He is one of the best in articulate the situation in the most hilarious way. Warning to those who are easily offended, but not as egregious as Ricky Gervais.  |
