Two hours of my life I'm never getting back
I really like old westerns, so I had high hopes for this movie. Needless to say it was a let down. You would think that with a two hour runtime they would manage to include some entertaining content unfortunately that was not the case. The movie was just boring from start to finish. The beginning fails to get the viewer engaged, and the ending was anticlimactic to the point that it was painful. Save your money and skip this movie. You're better off rewatching a classic western than setting through this trash.
David McK (3425 KP) rated Aliens: Alien Harvest in Books
Jan 30, 2019
Based, apparently, on a dark horse comic of the same name and released before Alien: Resurrection, this book is really only a light read that adds nothing new or exciting to the whole Alien concept: if anything, some of it detracts from that concept (eg the Alien hive easily being penetrated by a small group of characters).
I think I bought it in a sale years ago for round about £2.50 (that's the price written on the inside cover): I'm quite glad that I didn't pay full price for it, which would have felt like a major waste of money!

David McK (3425 KP) rated The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) in Movies

The first - and, for my money, best - of Peter Jackson's now 6-film foray into Middle Earth, that (I'm sure) saw a massive boost to the New Zealand economy where it was filmed!
It's hard to talk about this film nowadays without describing the plot - is there anyone who doesn't know it? - but this is the film that (I believe) sticks closest to the original story, and is very much what I would call 'traditional' High Fantasy (as opposed to 'Urban Fantasy'), with do-good Elves, Dwarves, Rangers, Orcs, Goblins, Cave-Trolls, Hobbits (halflings) ,,,,
And finally,
"Fly, you fools!"
still packs a punch!

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Vampire in Books
Dec 31, 2019
So, one night a gypsy fortune-teller(snerk) is super-bored and decides to tell one of her customers that he is a vampire(as you do) and will have to find his true love to have eternal happiness.
Enter our heroine. Darcy is being dropped off by her harridan mother because her honeymoon is more important than her kid and OOPS! her aunt is gone because she's a money-obsessed jerkface.
The only problem I have with this book is it's predictability. If I gave you a description of the characters, you'd know right away which one is the killer.

This is a cute little mystery about an ex-pop star who has been dumped by her fiance and had her money stolen from her. That actually intrigued me more than the mystery. I've always wondered what happens to these kids who have spent there formative years entertaining others.
The mystery is these girls have died on the elevator and the deaths are written off as "elevator-surfing".
The mystery is pretty easy to figure out and the jokes are a bit repetitive, but I enjoyed the characters and it's a quick, breezy read.

Should Have Waited For DVD Release
My daughter and I love horror so we knew this was a must see for us. I can honestly say that I should have waited for it to be on DVD so I could have saved some money as this movie left me feeling unsatisfied. I got more of a kick in watching people jump out of their seats when they got startled. Maybe I just expected more of this movie than I got? Instead of being scared I found myself laughing.....yes.... I am quite disappointed by this one.
Russ Troutt (291 KP) rated Dolemite Is My Name (2019) in Movies
Nov 16, 2019
Russ is my name and reviewing movies is my mutha f*@!n' game. First of all, it's so great to see Eddie Murphy back on the scene. And he killed it taking on the role of Rudy Ray Moore in Dolemite is my Name. The story of Rudy Ray Moore and the making of his first movie is hilariously brought to life by an all star cast, and this time around with more money and better production team the Rudy had on Dolemite. If you have Netflix and don't give this a watch then you're just a no business, born insecure, junkyard mutha.
