New Film Review: American Animals

AMERICAN ANIMALS

4 1/2 out of 5 stars



Not based on a true story...........it is a true story.
Its crazy.
And in the end you wonder what was real...in the eyes of these students and what was an orchestrated heist by a puppet master.
Well acted. Interesting editing decisions made by director Bart Layton....to have the real characters narrate throughout the film. So different....so real...kinda crazy heist film.

New Film Review: Won't You Be My Neighbor

WON'T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR

Just a wonderful doc.
Loved it!
Everybody should see it.
He just walked the earth with peace and love in his heart.
If I had a fault it would be...I wanted to see or hear more about his home life.
Still I was happy it also touched on something I note often in this blog.
Be careful about what type of entertainment you expose to children....it may end up being the norm.

New Film Review: Tag

TAG
3 out of 5 stars.

Better than I thought it would be.
Funny, often very funny.
Well acted, and they are all in here with this bizarre script.
The whole thing gets kinda of odd at the end, like they did not know where to go with the premise and it felt like they were doing the same thing over and over.
Still.....it was funny at the end to see the real TAG friends.

New Film Review: Hearts Beat Loud

HEARTS BEAT LOUD
3 1/2 out of 5 stars



It is very sweet!!
Kiersey Clemons is a talent.
Offerman is great.
Danson is back behind the bar.
There are just too many things happening:
Girl in love.
Store losing.
The band or lack there of.
Mom with Alzheimer's.
Love interest who happens to be owner of the store.
A dead mom.
It is a lot crammed into a film that is only 97 minutes long, because of that it lacks rhythm and loses heart because of lack of development.
Still fun and great music!!

New Film Review: Jurassic World:Fallen Kingdom

Jurassic World: Fallen World
3 out of 5 stars


Not as bad as what critics want you think.
Its silly fun. Close to ridiculous. I mean a dinosaur opens a window.
My biggest problem with it is not the silliness, I mean that is what you pay for, but its a middle movie. It is middle of a trilogy and you know what that means......there is no clean ending leading into the last part of the trilogy. If I had a dollar for every time I typed this line...You pay your money for this one film, you deserve a clear beginning; middle; and end.

New Film Review: The Seagull

THE SEAGULL
1 1/2 out of 5 rooms.


Well its well acted with Ronan and Moss and Bening.
That's about it.
Based on the Chekhov classic. Its all over the place and sadly drags with poor editing.

New Film Review: Incredibles 2

INCREDIBLES 2
4 out of 5 stars
A very good Pixar film.
Good story, and fun.
Looks great.
A Negative?
The focus on Jack kind of..is boring...takes away from the story...and not as funny as they thought.
Before I forget great score, could win the Oscar.
