Mark Halpern (153 KP) rated A Bad Moms Christmas (2017) in Movies
Jan 13, 2018
Not a bad sequel
Same movie revolving aorund the same three moms (Kunis,Khan and Bell) but this time it's Christmas time and there has to be a twist and what better than there moms coming of the big holiday. Needless to say the moms show up early and they need a let loose scene which this time takes place in the mall at the height of Christmas shopping. Each daughter has certain types of problems with their mother in their own way and that is the basis of this movie. The first one was fun and original while this copies that same frame but, adds in enough fun and excitement that makes it at least a one time watch.

We lose a good character but the plot rockets forward.
Order of the Phoenix is almost the Empire Strikes Back of the Harry Potter series. You don't end with a whole lot of good feels at the end of this movie. The lot does really take off and you stay on the edge of your seat for the better part of the film.
This might have the best pacing of the entire series. The ups and downs the good vibes and the bad fall at just the right time. To me this is the movie that had to be made because it is the "book" but there is not a whole lot of upside in this one - except for some tremendous acting all the way around.

informative
two great presenters
Great stand in presenters
fantastic movie review show.
I love this podcast. flappy hands and teenager (Mark and Simon respectively) are great presenters. I always love the Kermodian rants and Simon's dry humour. Mark is always very informative about movies and movie related subjects. Simon is brilliant at reading out listeners emails. Also there are a lot of in jokes that have appeared over the years that make you feel part of a community when you're out and about and hear someone say something from the show and you know where it's come from like "Hello to Jason Isaacs". I couldn't recommend it highly enough. And with that TTOFADWTN. And HTJI.

It's a good movie that shows compassion
I really enjoyed this it had some sad parts and I believe it had a great message in it and that is to be compassionate if you can and to share what you have with those who can't afford it .
The main character Mike is what you would call a gentle giant and this in a way is another possible message about not judging a book by it's cover.
Leigh Anne is such a kick ass women as well it's nice to see so much of this bad ass character who at times made me laugh.
One thing I can say though is that I cheered on both these characters throughout the movie.

Not bad
Based on the Sharoin Taste murder by the Mansion family in the late sixties, this movie was pretty good. The acting was well done and the cinematography,while looking like it was made in the eighties(intentionally I think), was decent. If you know your history you'll already know the storyline. They played it out at a good pace and kept it intense. The beginning scene wasn't really necessary but it is what it is. The movie felt kind of like you were watching "The Strangers', with no real sense to the violence, but again, if you know your history you know that was the case with this story at the time. Entertaining enough, this one is worth a watch.

Somebody please tell me, at what point did a movie series about illegal street racing become a large, dumb, action blockbuster?
Because that's what this film is.
Don't get me wrong - I enjoy large, dumb, action block-busters!
Known in the UK as simply Fast and Furious 8, this one sees Dim - for reasons - turning against his former crew, leading to multiple car chases, explosions, fights, gunplay, muscle flexing and good cop/bad cop buddy buddy repartee between several of its core cast - the latter most noticeably between The Rock and Jason Statham, who now have their own spin-off movie - finally culminating in a long (20 minutes?) set piece across the frozen ice as they try to stop a stolen nuclear submarine from escaping to sea.

I don't know what it is about this movie that I just didn't like. It just wasn't my favorite, and literally every single person I've talked to says they love it and it's so great. I guess I just don't see it? I felt like the last hour of the movie was just redundant and somewhat useless. I found Jamie Foxx's character just annoying and unlikeable. I think Kerry Washington is phenomenal and I wish she would've gotten more screen time. I liked Leo's character because he was the "bad guy" and you don't often see Leo in a role like that.
I don't know. I just didn't really like this film. I didn't hate it. I just don't really care for it.

Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Broadcast Signal Intrusion (2021) in Movies
Mar 18, 2022
Broadcast Signal Intrusion is a bit of a mind-bender of a movie you will see what I mean when you check out for yourselves, including the ending of the movie which I watched a couple of times to work out for myself what was actually happening, but that’s not a bad thing it works well to keep you on your toes.
I have to say I do like the movies that have that unusual twist and Broadcast Signal Intrusion is no exception, right from the start I was hooked, I needed to find out who is the strange masked woman in the videos that have been recorded and what are they saying in the garbled and strange noise that accompanies the freaky looking footage.

This movie was on the borderline between good and just ok, I rounded up. I was irritated because the theater where I have the subscription with was only showing the film in 3D. I'm not a huge 3D fan, and don't think anything is really added by it.
I know James Cameron was supposed to be the main draw, but I think he's pompous, and Avatar is not a good movie (IMO/it's lame and a snore). I was there mainly for Robert Rodriguez, he's a BFD here.
Essentially, it's Ghost in the Shell with a different story around it. I loved the fight/actions scenes, I was riveted by those. But, everything around it was kind of lame with bad dialogue and an unnecessary love story.
I also hated that it left on a cliffhanger. The movie drastically under-performed, leading to the worst Presidents' Day box office in the US since 2004. Likelihood of a sequel? Slim to none.
