I watch a lot of movies and TV. My thoughts about what I watch and some other stuff, usually movie related. All of it dumb. (profile pic by my son)

526 Chaplin
By the numbers biopic of the silent film legend. Great acting, especially Robert Downey Jr, but a lifeless recreation of Charlie's life. No insight or deeper probing, it feels fine, but lifeless.

525 Casablanca Express
Historical fiction of spies trying to save Churchill after he's taken by the Nazis. A clever plot, but really limp and lifeless, even with Sean Connery's son as the lead.

524 Borrowed Hearts
A terrible Christmas TV movie. A mom pretends to be a rich guy's wife so he can close a business deal. Something about angels and a returning father? Ugh, the cheese is coming out it's ears!

523 One Battle After Another *
Wow- amazing! After the trailers I wasn't at all interested. Good thing I ignored them- this is a new classic! Leo, a burnt-out revolutionary, has to deal with his daughter and getting caught.

522 Blood Tide
Tourists on a Mediterranean island accidentally get caught up in an ancient cult. Felt like an '80s 'Midsommar'. Very strange, but actually compelling and kind of great!

521 Cinderella Man
Depression era story of a failed boxer trying to make some money for his family. Surprisingly, he keeps winning! An uplifting Oscar-bait drama that works pretty well, actually.

520 Eagle Vs Shark
Could have been called 'Autism: The Movie!'. Socially awkward girl falls for an awkward guy. Visits his family as he is planning to avenge his high school bully. Basically Napolean Dynamite: New Zeeland. Endearing & well made

519 Bratz
Granted, I'm not exactly the target audience for this thing, but I don't think it's very good. 4 friends fall away and join different groups but reunite in high school even though they belong to different cliques. Shallow and cheesy.

518 Unfriended
One of the first Screen Life movies. Bunch of friends log on to a group chat when a strange entity joins them and begins killing them off. Absolutely fantastic stuff. Loved it completely. Amazing example of a new kind of movie.

517 A Chorus Line
Musical about casting for a musical. The whole thing is set on casting day, filled with all the hopefuls who are trying to make it in. Michael Douglas plays the director making the cuts as he digs into the lives of those trying out. Decent.

516 The Bunker
This movie asks what if 'Apocalypse Now' were made terribly? A rogue military leader has been lost in the jungle and men go in to retrieve him. Surprise- he went crazy! Poorly written and acted.

515 Beyond the Law
Lee Van Cleef plays the thief who becomes, surprisingly, the sheriff! Old west story of a man who becomes everything he hates. Except it goes well for him. Kinda loved it!

514 Dead Silence
Pretty dumb horror movie about a haunted marionette doll. Not actually scary, other than some annoying jump scares, as is James Wan's way. The 'twist' is pretty lame.

513 Dead Trigger
Even Dolph Lundgren can't save this video game adaptation. This painfully generic postapocalyptic zombie movie wants to be Starship Troopers, but can't muster up the wit or quality. & that movie sucked too!

512 Ask the Dust
Depression era story of a writer who falls in love with the brassy waitress who won't give him the time of day. Poetic and depressing, a decent tale well told.

511 Dinosaurs Alive
A 2007 IMAX 3D doc about the lives of dinosaurs. Following archeologists to see the bones and such is interesting, but the 3D effects look pretty bad.

510 Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning
Oof. This is why these series died out in the '80s, too many terrible entries like this one. Absolutely forgettable, which is impressive considering the huge amounts of gore and nudity.

509 After Sex
A bunch of vignettes about different couples after consummating. Some are more interesting than others, but all of them drive toward a truth among lovers. Insightful at times, funny at others. Overall, a fun watch.

508 Body Snatchers
A pretty good telling of the pod people story. A family arrives on a military base and everyone seems a bit weird. Outstanding practical effects make the whole thing very impressive.

507 Against All Odds
Jeff Bridges, a down and out footballer, goes looking for the daughter of a rich family and falls in love. Weird tone and terrible ending. At least Bridges looks amazing!

506 Fit for TV season 1
A look behind the scenes of The Biggest Loser and how it impacted those involved. Who would have thought, reality competitions aren't the best way to lose weight?!? shocking! Interesting to see them all these years later.

I'm realizing a watch a lot of terrible movies. I've only got 55 that are 5 stars, but I've got 307 that are half a star. Oh well, even the bad movies are still movies- so it can't be that bad, right?
