Gold (2016)
Jungle Madness
I viewed this movie last evening and found it moderately entertaining. The title grabbed my attention. The first half of this movie had me wondering if I had made a bad choice, but as the movie went on I was drawn into it and satisfied at the end. I think that McConaghy was way over the top and had a negative effect on the movie as a whole. I always want to "like" a character but this guy was so unlikable that it hurt the film. And at the beginning of each scene it always had the same start, the lighting up of a cigarette another thing that that was just too noticeable. I think that this should have been a better film, but it was not a waste of my time!
Hacksaw Ridge (2016)
What A Movie
I think that this is one of the best movies I have seen about war and principal. I feel that the Director Mel Gibson was saving this story for the perfect time to release it, and that time came now. The acting was great with a standout performance by Allen Garfield. I hope this film is a springboard for him. This is a masterwork by a master director! Thank you Mel!
Arrival (2016)
Lost time!
I totally hated this movie and hate the fact that I lost the time it took to watch! Any good review of this movie must come from the family of the people involved in making it. It is boring and totally uninteresting. I rarely ever post a hatred of a movie, but this allowed me to drop it to the level I have. Where do these ideas come from?
The Martian (2015)
Red Planet Drama
Rented this movie because I heard that it was fun. I enjoyed this flick and I think that Matt Damon was perfectly cast. I found that some of the dramatic scenes were filled with tension and the lighter scenes filled with humor. This movie, to me, had all the things that "Gravity" should have contained. The scenes containing the rocketry were brilliantly filmed and added the necessary element that made this a complete movie. I would recommend this to a friend, and if one were to rent this I would suggest the blue ray option because this movie deserved the crisp sharp benefits that blue ray offers. I thought that Mark Damon's performance was one of his best. I don't know how much of the science this picture contains is in fact authentic, but I really did not expect it to be. What it did contain for me was good castings and great cinematography.
Bridge of Spies (2015)
Cold War Spy thriller without the thrill!
I give this movie 4 stars out of ten. I was bored and could never get into this movie. It was too long and had no tension at all. I think that the Spielberg name is what drew me to this picture although I did not see his reputation being enhanced by this film. The characters were stiff and uninteresting. I'm glad I rented this film and watched it at home and did not waste my money by seeing it in a theater. This is actually a movie that would have been better in black and white because that in itself would have created a better visual. If someone were to see this without knowing the storyline it might be better enjoyed and been a learning experience regarding some of the history about the Cold War.
