Collateral Movie Review

Collateral Movie Review

Score 4.5 out of 5.  This movie really worked for me.  The ending was a bit weak because one knew that the script needed to clean up the ending and it did so with less than full convincing results.   But the whole movie, in total, still  stands up as an excellent piece of art.

U-571 Movie Review

U-571 Movie Review

Score: 4 out of 5.  This movie is very convincingly told which is a strong complement because the story could easily go dumb at any point but does not. The director and crew should be proud of this  product.  The acting is very good and very convincing even at times that one might expect it to fall apart.  My only reason not to give a more perfect score is at the very end of the movie it falls into a…

Safe House Movie Review

Safe House Movie Review

Score: 5 out of 5.  This movie is vastly intelligent and is gripping in plot outline.  The script was terrific as well as the acting and all the technical aspects that help provide the movie creation.  The director put together a stupendous product.

Ghost Protocol Movie Review

Ghost Protocol Movie Review

I rate this movie 5 out of 5.  It simply is darn near perfect.  I love intelligent movies and this one is very good.  I will not list all its plus points but to reiterate that it delivers a terrific entertainment package.

Red Tails

Red Tails

Rate 2 out of 5.  I found this a very disappointing movie.  The script, casting, and acting was dreadful.  All other technical aspects of the movie seemed to be very good.  The action scenes were quite good but the  script was uninspiring, the acting unconvincing, and the director was  incapable of drawing me into the story.  I really found it annoying to see a command officer smoking a pipe in what seemed to be a contrived effort to impart authority.

Dr. Kit Kat Dialysis Procedure Movie Reviews

I befriended a young lady at the club I work out at.  Our conversation began because she brought to the club Kit Kat candy, which I spotted while she was on a treadmill.  I will refer to her as Dr. Kit Kat for the purpose of these reviews.  While at medical school at Ohio State University she contracted hepatitis.  She was given a shot to protect against hepatitis prior to coming down with the disease.  The shot failed to protect;…

Can milk be outrageous?

Remember when milk commercials were clever and funny. Not any more. Now they can be outrageous! (Just about all the original commercials have been removed from Internet sites). The story behind this outrageous video:http://www.goodbysilverstein.com/#/work/milk-whitegold-campaignvideo-tv Got milk?

Under Suspicion

Under Suspicion

Under Suspicion I really prefer action drama movies so approving this movie is an attribute of sorts.  As I watched this movie I kept thinking that the script was targeted for the live stage as the location changes were infrequent and the dialog was superb.  The interplay between just a few actors was live stage to me.  Put another way, the script was just a delight, a wonder.  My second thought of this movie was how wonderful the director did. …
