Berg and Wahlberg up the ante
Wahlberg teams up again with Peter Berg following their other recent collaboration, Deepwater Horizon and they both up their game with this movie. Wahlberg's performance is fantastic in this as a Boston cop dealing with a chaotic situation. The direction is also great and the sound design is well implemented. The film is upsetting at times, as it cover such a tragic event, but it is also uplifting and is something that the people of Boston should be proud of.

They're Coming To Get You Barbra
Night of the Living Dead- i love this film, such a classic. Its a fantasic phenomenal movie, about survival, surving, the living dead and survival of the finest. Plus you have George A. Ramero directing it. He is missed, he was such a phenomenal and excellent director.
The plot: The story follows seven people who are trapped in a rural farmhouse in western Pennsylvania, which is under assault by an enlargening group of cannibalistic, undead corpses.
The film is regarded as one of the launching pads for the modern zombie movie, and thanks to George we have all of these zombie tv shows and movies today, if it wasnt for him, we wouldn't have all of these zombies tv shows and movies today.
In 2001, the film was ranked No. 93 by the American Film Institute on their AFI's 100 Years ... 100 Thrills list, a list of America's most heart-pounding movies. The zombies in the picture were also a candidate for AFI's AFI's 100 Years ... 100 Heroes & Villains, in the villains category, but failed to make the official list. The Chicago Film Critics Association named it the 5th scariest film ever made. The film also ranked No. 9 on Bravo's The 100 Scariest Movie Moments.
Many critics of this movie find this movie very groundbreaking for its time due to its having a black protagonist.
Night of the Living Dead entered the public domain in the United States because the original theatrical distributor, the Walter Reade Organization, neglected to place a copyright indication on the prints.
Like I said before its a excellent and phenomenal movie.

David McK (3425 KP) rated Godzilla (2014) in Movies
May 26, 2019
I'm going to start with a controversial statement: I preferred the 1998 version of the famous Japanese monster movie.
Reason? Mainly because, for the vast majority of this particular movie, I couldn't tell what was going on: lots of rumblings, sure, a few monster noises bit actually being able to see what was happening? Nope.
It also seems to waste most of its cast: Bryan Cranston doesn't do much before making his exit, a pre Scarlet-Witch Elizabeth Olson spends most of her (limited) screen time looking worried and Ken Watanabe does nothing but seemingly mope around the place.
And, finally, what call the movie Godzilla when he's barely in it? If anything, it should have been called MUTOs ...

I liked the book better. (Haha, Andy Kubica). However, I really did like the movie, as well, for completely different reasons. I loved the book on its own, and always will. The movie, though, was such a fun treat to watch! I wasn't sure how it would go, but it definitely looked like a video game with all of the cool colors and graphics, and you can't beat the music! I wasn't sure that I'd like how they did Art3mis, but I really did. The movie character was cute and smart. The stacks were exactly as I'd pictured, so that was also fun to see. It's definitely worth watching in my opinion! It's a great 1.5 hr ride!
Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Here Today (2021) in Movies

Here Today starring and directed by Billy Crystal, this is a film that I had heard people mention but to be honest, wasn’t sure about the story other than what I had read from the synopsis.
Written by Billy Crystal and Alan Zweibel the story is a touching one, the film is also directed by Crystal and I have to say I really enjoy his directing work as well as his acting.
Maybe not a movie for the action junkies, but if like me you like the occasional movie that touches the heartstrings then Here Today is certainly that movie, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I really enjoyed it.

I loved the cartoon as a kid, and I thought they did a great jobs on the movies. I actually like this one better than the first one. You learn the origins of Smurfette. You also meet 2 new characters Vexy and Hackus. It's a very cute and funny movie. The best part of the Smurfs movies is Hank Azaria he does an awesome job playing Gargamel.

This one has been my favorite so far! I know that there isn't as much action in this film in comparison to the others, but I found myself hanging on more to this movie than any other one. There were several times I gasped so loud because I wasn't sure what was going to happen and I got scared! Not in a bad way, in the best way! I also think this movie had the best storyline. I also love Jeremy Renner. He's incredible.
This one is definitely my favorite and I'm excited to finish the last two!
