Asteroid-a-Geddon (2020)
Couldn't even watch it all
I love disaster movies and watch lots of them ... even B-rate movies. This movie has a decent plot but much of the acting is awful and Issa is not at all believable as the female lead ... her acting seems forced and fake. I was really disappointed as I like Eric Roberts and the premise of the movie was promising. I kept hoping it would get better but turned it off about half way through.
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)
Beyond Boring
I period films and especially westerns. I watched more than half of this movie TRYING to get into it and hope it would get better. If the portrayal of Robert Ford is accurate, Jessie James would have had to be an idiot to NOT know something was amiss. This film dragged and the dialog was slurred and sometimes incomprehensible. I couldn't even finish it.
Just Getting Started (2017)
Lighthearted and fun for the holiday season
I like the main players in this movie and it was a refreshing change from the heavy, gloomy movies and news coverage. Is it their best acting? Probably not. Was it supposed to be? I don't think so. It was an opportunity for them to get together and have fun creating something that would make us laugh. If you need or want a little bit of joy and laughter ... go see this movie. If you're looking for serious, academy award winning performances, you'll want to pass. I typically only go to action or adventure movies ... this was a change of pace and it didn't disappoint in that regard. I'd go see it again, and I'll likely watch it several times when it makes it to Netflix or Amazon Prime. Maybe you nee to be over 40 to appreciate some of the "elder" humor ... it looks like it's young folks who aren't thrilled with it and there are some older folks who will may be offended by language, behavior, or conversations ... to them I would say "lighten up and have a little fun". The theater was FULL the day I went (lots of retired folks) ... everyone appeared to enjoy themselves. There was a lot of laughter and no one left during the movie.
Wild Horses (2015)
Really ?!?!?
The only thing about this movie that's decent is the plot ... which could have been a great movie. The rest of it is disjointed and just plain awful. Even Robert Duvall's performance is sub-par. Everyone's acting is stiff and forced ... like they were still blocking it out and not ready. There is no flow in the delivery of the lines or in the movement of the script from one scene to the next ... even the story jumps and is confusing at times ... like it's several movies spliced together. Some of the "main characters" are move like live props ... adding little or no meaning to the plot ... they could have easily been eliminated. It's almost like this was a cast made up of friends and family who wanted "15 minutes of fame". I almost never write reviews, but this was just plain BAD.
