Excellent all round
I wasn’t sure what to expect after reading reports that over 100 people walked out of the cinema at the movie’s premiere screening... The film is not for the squeamish but I felt the gruesome nature of the film was perfectly balanced by a gripping storyline, and excellent performances, especially from Matt Dillon. I was totally engaged all through the movie, and felt it was a perfect example of how a movie should be made.

Autistic assassin, also an accountant
Contains spoilers, click to show
Excellent portrayal of autism, watch it a few times to pick up on it. A very good action adventure, fast paced, full of good scenes. A few clunky plot twists, but pretty obvious. Ben Affleck plays it well, either very well written or he researched autism, probably both. John Lithgow is great as usual. But as said clunky to bring the brothers together, as if the same contractor would coincidentally hire the same two estranged brothers, but it is obvious from early on. Yes an excellent action autistic assassination adventure, gets top marks for assonance. I highly recommend it.

The Wolves Are Among Them
The Grey- is a excellent survival drama thriller. I love survival/survive of the fitnest films. Liam Neeson does a excellent job in this. The drama, the suspense, tbe thrills are are excellent.
The plot: Following a grueling five-week shift at an Alaskan oil refinery, workers led by sharpshooter John Ottway (Liam Neeson) are flying home for a much-needed vacation. A brutal storm causes their plane to crash in the frozen wilderness, and only eight men (Frank Grillo, Dermot Mulroney), including Ottway, survive. As they trek southward toward civilization and safety, Ottway and his companions must battle mortal injuries, the icy elements, and a pack of hungry wolves.
I highly recordmend watching this film.

Mar 24, 2021
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is an absolute triumph of feel good comedy and an all out classic of late 80s cinema.
Between it's infectiously likable leads (Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves) and absolutely ridiculous travelling-through-history plot, Excellent Adventure is one of those films that can easily be enjoyed by an audience of all age groups. It's certainly of it's time when it comes to its soundtrack and avalanche of pop culture references, but over 30 years later this proves to be one of its many charms. (Apart from the unfortunate use of a homophobic slur that wouldn't fly by today's standards)
All in all, Excellent Adventure is a wonderful whole heap of fun that's become one of my ultimate comfort films. Most bodacious indeed.

Spooky Scary Ghost
The Frighteners- is a excellent horror comedy directed by Peter Jackson. Micheal J. Fox is excellent in it.
The plot: Once an architect, Frank Bannister (Michael J. Fox) now passes himself off as an exorcist of evil spirits. To bolster his facade, he claims his "special" gift is the result of a car accident that killed his wife. But what he does not count on is more people dying in the small town where he lives. As he tries to piece together the supernatural mystery of these killings, he falls in love with the wife (Trini Alvarado) of one of the victims and deals with a crazy FBI agent (Jeffrey Combs).
Its a excellent underrated horror comedy. Highly recordmend.

Get Off My Plane
Air Force One- is a excellent movie, with suspense, action, thrills and drama.
The plot: After making a speech in Moscow vowing to never negotiate with terrorists, President James Marshall (Harrison Ford) boards Air Force One with his family (Wendy Crewson, Liesel Matthews) and advisers. When a group of terrorists led by Ivan Korshunov (Gary Oldman) hijacks the flight, the President's principles are put to the test. Feigning escape, ex-solider Marshall stows away in the aircraft and must race against time to rescue his family and everyone else on board.
Gary Oldman is a excellent, phenomenal and great villian. He plays good villians, he is a excellent actor.
I love this movie, such a action packed film.
