Captains Log, Stardate 47634.44, Just finished watching a movie called Please Stand By. It was a very fun and heartwarming flick. Dakota Fanning plays an autistic girl who boldly goes on an adventure towards Paramount Pictures studio to submit her Star Trek script into a writing contest. While the script to this movie lacked the character development and conflict of the supporting cast that would have beamed it up to the next level, it was still a very enjoyable voyage.

I find it easier to use the app on my Kindle than I do the one on the TV. On the Kindle app you can search by genre and find the perfect movie for your mood while on the TV you have to flick through every film until something catches your eye or you know what you want to watch.

Never the less, they do have a good selection of films and TV shows and they get updated fairly regularly too.

Heart Wrenching Feels
I cannot put into words how much I loved and hated this movie. The cast is absolutely amazing. The graphics are amazing. If my father were still alive he would have had his mind blown by this flick. The only negative thing I can say about this movie is that it broke my heart into a thousand little pieces. I loathe cliffhangers and waiting for the second part of this movie is going to be murder.

This movie was unstoppable for action, character interactions you hadn’t experienced yet, and THANOS!! What fan boy/girl in our right mind ever thought we would get to see Thanos, let alone one played so freaking well by Josh Brolin. (0 more)
This movie could’ve been 5 hours long and I would’ve watched every second. That’s not a downside, you say? You’re right! I wanted more and due to the awesomeness of this flick I can’t wait for the next one. (0 more)
Beyond great! A Marvel Grandslam!

This one is on Netflix. Pretty cool sci-fi flick. The acting was decent enough. Benton Thwaites is Latin protagonists(new to me) and Lawrence Fishburne was the antagonist. Nothing in this movie is too graphic for kids, either, but it might be a confusing story for them. Not a good vs evil type story. It unfolds a bit slowly but has some cool twists and turns. Cinematography was good. I definitely recommend it to sci-fi fans. Worth a watch!

21 Bridges (2019)
2019 | Crime, Drama, Thriller
Much of the storyline is a bit fuzzy throughout the entire film, with some exceptions. Specifically the final third of the movie. But what makes 21 Bridges special is the acting. Chadwick Boseman shows he truly has high quality acting chops without relying on heavy CGI and an extensive supporting cast. JK Simmons also shows up in a role that suits his style quite nicely. Great fight scenes make this movie a very worthy action flick that you should grab a bucket of popcorn and enjoy.

Holy shit people… Its Ralph freaking Macchio… I have got to admit its been some time since I saw Daniel Larusso in a movie so of course I was gonna sit down and watch this flick, what I did not expect was to find a whole cast of actors that maybe never set the world on fire but I have a certain affinity for.

Lost Cat Corona is one of those bottle movies that takes place over one day, spending time with various different characters that you just know (because Movies) will all somehow connect to each other at some point or other, you know like Crash, Kids, Clerks, or any other movie of its nature these are just the ones come to mind.

We start the flick by meeting Dominic (Ralph freaking Macchio). Dominic is a somewhat put upon and just wants to coast through life with as little drama as possible kind of guy (I can relate). On the day of his friends dads wake his wife’s cat has decided to go AWOL. His wife Connie (its only Gina bloody Gershon) is taking her mother for an operation and tells Dom “Find the cat or your out the house”. We spend the day with Dominic and his good friend Ponce (David “Batista from Dexter” Zayas) looking all around Corona for Leonard whilst bumping into a crazy cast of characters in his local neighborhood and getting caught up in some shady shit.

 

This is a super simple concept but works for all the right reasons. The script is as tight as you could ask and moves at a fairly rapid pace. Our cast is group of people you know and probably actually love, all giving solid great performances in a slightly off the wall comedy that gets in, moves along and gets out before outstaying its welcome.

Macchio and Zayas have cracking chemistry and with a solid as hell script form Writer/Director Anthony Tarsitano they are given room to show us a different side to themselves. Gershon is… Well… Gershon, always a pleasure to see her face on screen. We are also treated to Paul Sorvino (Goodfellas) as Uncle Sam, Sean Young (Blade Runner) and Jeff Kober (Sons of Anarchy).

Now would I recommend this Flick… Yeah I would, big time. This is one of those movies you can just put on and enjoy for what it is. If you want Action and Adrenaline, this is not your movie. If you want a well paced, superbly written, wonderfully acted good time then this is the movie for you. You know what guys, it may be because its Sunday and i’m having a lazy one or maybe i was just in the mood for this flick, I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Did I mention Daniel Larusso is in this Flick… Whoooohooooo.
