Proximity (2020)
Fun, Entertaining, Sci-Fi FANTASY FAIRY TALE movie!
Personally I truly enjoyed this movie and gave it 10 stars. Some people love this movie, some hate it, some found it decent, but whether you should watch this one depends on whether you appreciate and enjoy fantasy, fairy tale stories, and Sci-Fi, like for example, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, Alice in Wonderland, 2001, etc.
This movie is not meant to be a serious, fact based story, it's not meant to make any statements about anything, it's just a FANTASY story about people who have been abducted by alien spaceships. It also contains some humor.
It's not trying to tell you that this is fact or fiction, it's not trying to preach anything. This movie is strictly meant for FUN and FANTASY. There is no gory violence, no blood, no deaths, no horror, there is only an imaginary story which is ultimately about aliens visiting earth trying to learn about the universe.
Again, let me stress this again, it's a FICTIONAL STORY. It's imaginary and unique. It has very pretty cinematography, it's almost 2 hours long, and is pretty engaging, easy to understand and it moves pretty quickly. It's very much like a children's Sci-Fi adventure novel but is not based on a novel.
I see in the reviews that some people were upset that in the end, the aliens are asking the humans who is this "Jesus" figure which looks like "God" and they say that this seems to have something powerful to do with the origin of the universe. This is not meant to make any sort of religious point, and in fact it seems to be more of a satire of religion as the whole movie is a mild satire of Sci-Fi alien movies like Men In Black. You can observe this very clearly at the end of the movie, with the happy ending and the commentary by the lead actor of how he found a woman to love and they all seem to live happily ever after, as a fairy tale would end.
So in conclusion and summary, if you choose to watch this movie, please be aware that you are watching a fictional fairy tale, nothing more, nothing less, and if you don't like fictional fairy tales, please don't waste your time! Hope this is helpful!
The Caller (1987)
Very unique and rare type of movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat
This is a movie that really keeps you guessing all the way. I would like to point out a strange coincidence: while watching this (with some breaks) I also happened to watch some recap of Tesla's AI day event at the end of September where Elon Musk shows off Tesla's latest project, a humanoid AI robot with hands that really mimic human hands. I won't explain what this has to do with the movie in case you didn't see it yet, but I think it's a really funny coincidence, and maybe a bit scary.
Anyway, regarding the movie, there are only two actors in the movie and it all takes place at some remote location in the woods. The dialogue and acting are superb and truly engaging. If you are looking for suspense, this is an excellent choice since there is plenty of it. The only thing with this movie is that you need to be prepared for a very unusual ending which may be a let down if you expect something else, which you probably would, because nobody could guess the ending, it comes totally out of left field. However the ending is what makes this movie truly unusual, as you might wish you watched it in reverse! In fact after watching the ending, I'm sure many would elect to watch the movie once again to observe how it all leads to that very unexpected and unusual ending. I think I will, and I don't really like to watch movies again since time is short and there are other movies to watch.
Also I'd point out that due to the ending you'd think there would be a sequel (maybe that's what was intended) or that this was the start of a mini-series.
I did enjoy watching, and that's what matters.
The Librarian: Quest for the Spear (2004)
Lots of laughs, adventure, action! Great entertainment!
I'm giving this movie a "10" for light hearted fun entertainment! If you enjoyed Indiana Jones you'll have a great time, as this is very similar. Clever and engaging. It's a good vs. Evil story and there's a happy ending as expected, and it certainly put me in a good mood. The story is well written, there are no silly errors or loose story lines where things don't make sense, as is the case with many other movies. At the closing, The Librarian is off to a new adventure so we would expect a sequel, and sure enough, with the benefit of this being 2022, and the movie having been made in 2005, I see there are two sequels of The Librarian, I'll be sure to watch them as well since I enjoyed this one so much. That's saying a lot since I don't usually look for these types of light fun entertainment movies as I'm generally more into serious drama, mystery, thrillers. But I also need some fun sometimes.
True Believer (1989)
Excellent courtroom investigative drama thriller
If you love courtroom movies with clever twists that will keep you on the edge of your seat when it often seems it's "all over" this movie is for you! It's also loosely based on a true story I understand. Also helps drive home the message that many totally innocent people have ended up in jail for crimes they didn't commit. Surely worth watching, I really had a great time with this one! Highly recommended!
Beyond the Sky (2018)
Great UFO entertainment, great suspense, great effects
I gave it a 10. It was a quick, engaging, suspenseful movie with great special effects and never was boring or dragged on. It's a movie for people who enjoy thinking about UFO phenomena, and those who think UFOs are a joke, probably won't enjoy the movie. But if you are looking for possible answers and believe there are things we don't know, then this movie is certainly a must-watch!
Stir of Echoes (1999)
Great entertainment for a ghost movie, based on novel
What matters to me most in a movie is that I am entertained and that the story makes sense. This movie was entertaining, it was thrilling as it's a thriller, and I enjoyed watching it. The story was solid and flowed well. As it's based on a novel, you'd expect at least a decent story line. I didn't get bored at any point either, and kept moving nicely.
So if this is a genre which you enjoy, you just can't go wrong with this one! That's why I gave it a 10, I can't really expect anything more from this type of movie, it performed well and the acting was fine as well!
Red Lights (2012)
WASTED 2 hours! Should have believed the 1 star reviews!
It's a movie about supernatural powers but it's a terribly written one. I must add that it's very disappointing that such fine actors as Robert DeNiro and Sigourney Weaver would involve themselves in a movie that has such a silly storyline. Actually it's not that the movie makes no sense at the end, but some of the things that happen are just unexplainable if you go along with the "surprise ending." You are left just feeling cheated and confused since it's really that silly! It's like they just wanted to artificially create thrilling scenes and create a lot of special effects explosions and sounds but totally didn't care about telling a believable, rational story.
I rated it 2 stars instead of 1 star because maybe some viewers may not care about the story, and just want to see some good acting and some thrilling scenes with explosions and some totally ridiculous violence, (some of which was so ridiculous, it would fit in a cartoon!)
In summary, if you appreciate a good, logical, well written story besides just flashy scenes, good acting, and some artificially created suspense, please avoid this movie at all costs, save yourself the 2 hours!
Above Suspicion (2019)
Not entertaining, slow, boring, not too convincing
I am sorry I wasted the time watching this boring movie. Although it's based on a true story, it's just hard to believe people would act this way, and it's uncomfortable to watch. There is almost no suspense, I just wanted it to end already. You don't empathize with the characters because they are so ridiculous and I just didn't really care about any of them, they all had it coming due to their terrible attitudes and behaviors. If this movie is a statement against drugs, well I guess it accomplishes the goal, and that's all it accomplishes. 2 stars, second star is because it's based on a true story.
The Client (1994)
Good old classic Hollywood at its best!
Fun, solid entertainment all the way through. Based on John Grisham's novel. How can you go wrong with a movie made to a best selling novel, with a smart kid who outwits a bunch of evil mafia bad guys at every turn? Kind of reminded me of Home Alone. This is the way they used to make great movies in Hollywood and it was well worth the 2 hours.
Go with Me (2015)
Nice solid entertainment!
Are you looking for a simple story with a solid plot, engaging suspense, good acting, and nice scenery? Are you tired of movies which try to wow you with extreme complexity, illogical silly twists, endless confusion, loose threads, and unsatisfying conclusions? Well, this movie is for you!
The Place Beyond the Pines (2012)
Not worth the time and it's badly written, not believable
I watched this due to the 7+ rating but unfortunately I feel I wasted my time. It was suspenseful and engaging, but the characters are just not believable. You could watch much better movies instead of this one. I'd rather watch something where the character's actions seem natural, not written in order to put action on a screen!
The Life Before Her Eyes (2007)
Super boring waste of time, the worst movie I've ever seen, and I've seen many!
Ignore the positive reviews here, I don't know how anybody could like this depressing and boring sleeper. I'm so sorry I wasted my time watching this badly written and confused movie. There is nothing entertaining here. It's a bunch of boring flashbacks all the way through. The producers probably thought they are very clever but believe me there was nothing remotely clever here. In fact the movie makes no sense. If anything it appears there is some weird and confused attack on abortions which makes it very suspicious. Anyway what do abortions have to do with crazed psychopathic teens who shoot up their schools, besides that if the shooter had been aborted, this disaster would have never happened? Unless you absolutely have to watch every movie on school shootings, do yourself a HUGE FAVOR and AVOID THIS BIG YAWN AT ALL COSTS!
