My Review

Last movie of the year feature this movie featured Sarah Paulson and Jack Lemmon and I must say this was good movie with them both I am used to see Sarah on American horror story a lot and I never even know she did this one she was so young in this and beautiful as well I like her better in this one this was a tv movie her and Jack was in and this one took off.

It about 2 people meeting who was lost well he was he run away from his family and look lost so they meet whole he was walking on the road and  she almost run him over from there friendship took off as they hitchhike around the country even though bad time and good times when cops was looking for him they got though that once you watch them two characters get close to you as well both played them great in my view them 2 characters bond with me as I watched a lot though the film both have problems but they iron it out with helping with each other this movie was indeed worth watching is a good movie on how Friendship can be in times like this we need more movies like which will don't much.

So what did I think of ending no fighting well just a little bit when It was pretty much time he had to go home know that was going to happen and I know they going to throw a tearjerker at the end of film and that what they did even Made me tear up after see Sarah crying it was so good look real I Am sure some of was also music at end was great as well. this too me was Sarah Paulson and Jack lemmon best movie made in my view

in the end I see Sarah Paulson on America Horror story she not bad there but can of jump that ship a whole ago she is great acting as well only shame this was a TV movie and not a theater release it could of done great at box Office as well in my view this movie is indeed worth watching it is on YouTube for free watch it if you can before free version is up and have a great new year as well. 

Added one more thing after see this movie for first it click on me very well not many movies do that since I see the warriors (1979 for the first time.

My review

This review is finally a movie I wanted to see this year and finally did so here my review of the movie called Red One.

Movie starts off with a kid name Jack who does not think there is a Santa so he telling kids the truth and then his uncle catches up and talk to him after that it goes 30 years later he seems to be mean more like on naughty list think this guy hates Christmas he even steals kid candy so far this movie off to odd and not good start then we see the rock he playing the character of a guy who keeps a eye on Santa making sure nothing happens wait unit it does.

So opening is good on story telling us who character we see one guy hate on Christmas as he look to be a hacker and another guy keep a eye on Santa hopefully he not guy behind to get Santa doubt it they make the rock bad guy well could happen doubt it.

Santa tells callum that this is his last year after that something going down Red is missing this where he get kidnapped so Callum goes after pretty cool effects with him running after him like take rides to catch him will he fast enough to catch him but does not 24 hours red is gone and kidnapped.

So now mission has started and first person they go after is the guy on top of list of is Jack good started because he hates Santa he must now help or should they trust him is ? He could be working with ones who took red later it was revealed who the main leader is a woman who hates Santa my guess she on the naughty list.

So how are Jack and Callum getting along well ok but they do not like each other they find out it Christmas witch who has got Santa she seems very powerful seems like her mission is too make everyone hate Christmas ok that sounds can of chessy a little bit but ok.

Two big snowman attack them pretty cool looking but they find out weakness and easy took care of them. Turns out it was Santa brother who also behind it I worder who will be playing his Santa brother.

So they are now getting close to finding red but they have to go though maybe some tough bad people to get him he told him not touch anything Jack is a fool and did and got them both in trouble later on Santa brother is not human looking he more ugly and big guy lucky they got out of there thanks to Jack then Jack said witch name bad move she can hear when her name was called she left Jack a snow globe look like witch plan is too put every one in a snow globe and bad news Jack and her son are trapped as well pretty much up to Callum now to stop her.

So I am like this movie so far as it getting close to end here have to say not bad but not best pretty good action film and Christmas movie.

So final battle leads up to all of them vs Christmas witch and her guards to save Christmas before she get all globes around the world she does fall of edge but it made her made now they must face her other side which is scary pretty good battle not bad it was no surprise who show up and help them now they better hurry as Christmas is getting close since Jack and his son help guess that means they off bad list and now on good list.

So how does it end well a great way the way I ended not a bad ending at all very good movie it was.

A few up and downs but I did like this one acting was good lots of fun stuff and ugly witch as well and this sort of proves the true meaning of Christmas as well I think if you have not see this one do so as well because you might like it as I did.

Red one (2024) rating 7/10

My Review

Movies reviews has return after a long break I am now better and ready to go and what a way to return with this one another classic snowy white and seven dwarfs from 1937 yeah that old but like I said before old movies are better ones have not see this one in years so indeed looking forward to rewatch it again.

Note credits last 1:24 mins whole that not bad this movie is 1 hour 23 mins so might be less now because of that so opening of Snow White is can of creepy with evil queen who asking the mirror who better then her I guess the last time I see this movie when I was kid so forgot most of movie but it good I am watching again so least remember well after witch queen get her hate out for Snow White they go right to Snow White who is singing and see prince and well go hides she seems shy then evil queen try to get a guy to kill Snow White and well he tells her to run so not even 10 mins in and she running in creepy woods then she meets new friends only thing creepy is that evil queen who wants her dead so much hate well Snow White friends show her a place to stay a old house in woods if I remember this is probably Seven Dwarfs house yep points to 7 beds so her and her friends plan to clean house to see if she can stay yeah that would be interesting later on when they return.

Cleaning moments is something as everybody helping out then after they go to seven dwarfs who are looking for crystals that are gold then after a hard day of work they head to home oh boy here we go Snow White better be ready that for sure she fall a sleep and the seven dwarfs come home and see light on in there house and well they freak out can of funny wait unit they go up stairs then they will even more.

There reaction was something but after telling them who she is and what she can do that is cook and clean they took her in very fast and told she can stay then funny part when she told them to wash there hands they never ever wash there hands before look like funny the way they do it after they done they now can go eat wait the only one that doesn’t is grumpy and boy he sure is that so they all team up on him after that they go back to castle where you know who is waiting.

The evil who finds out heart in box is not Snow White so she plans on to kill Snow White herself bye changing into a old lady that will give Snow White poison 🍎 that will 🧙 is indeed 😈 that for sure.

Back at the house Seven dwarfs and Snow White are getting along with each better because what they don’t know is an evil queen or witch is coming for Snow White.

After a hour so far like this version it is great nothing bad well queen is can of scary as an old woman as well who ever voice her did a great job that for sure hopefully her plan fails and she goes away.

And the seven dwarfs are off to work they should of stay home and keep a eye on her from witch or queen but she powerful so they would be no match for her as Snow White is making pies that evil creepy queen witch show up and offer her Apple so question is will Snow White take it and seven dwarfs better hurry and show up too as Snow White Did bite and will went to sleep seven dwarfs got there chase after evil witch up on the mountains and well fall to her death after a lighting bolt hit the rock making her fall good she got what she

She deserved that for sure so now evil stepmother is dead what a fool she was.

So ages gone bye as seven dwarfs think she did dead almost look like this movie will end in heartbreak think pretty much everyone who knows this story as they walk in sunset as it ends.

A very good movie great family film as well it was good voiceover for characters as well indeed this old classic holds up next year they are coming out with a live action version of movie let see how that does will be hard to up this 1937 classic one that for sure so that it for this movie review good to be back writing as well so I will see what I can find for next Saturday maybe another classic will see for now have a good rest of your thanksgiving and be kind as well take care.

Snow White (1937) rating 7/10

My Review

Back years ago I did this review but figure this classic needs a re review of a great 80’s movie called the Neverending story which is book as well so figure I will rewatch and see if I miss anything this is why I miss last week review because I needed a little more time to write this one so let great started on this great classic movie which I am watching years and years ago.

The movie starts with amazing intro with music and look to be a dream just amazing you don’t see that much for movie now do you then bastion wakes up it was indeed a dream nice one though for as bastian wakes up after that talks to father played Gerald McRaney who been in many roles they pick right guy for father role even though it was short role he was a great father figure character that for sure.

After that it goes too where he being bullying not cool in my view but this way story starts anyway I think I see kids in the goonies movie maybe? They put him in trash he gets out but they go after him and he hides in book store he meets a old man then see book the neverending ending story the old man tells him about the book how does he know about book being magic unsure maybe he has something to do with book or part of it maybe sort of mystery on who old guy was maybe 1 day when I read the real book it will tell me anyway kid takes the book some say he stole it but nope.

The book was so important he even skip class funny not one teacher notice or anyone see him go in closet or attic something anyway this where story starts with eerie creatures and even a big guy name rock man huge rock and other characters have a snail then we get name rock fighter does that means he fights rocks lol the other person is night hawk and they are talking about land disappearing bye main villain of movie the nothing weird villain but fun it pretty turns everything into nothing what cause is a ? Mark so the crew go on a little trip to see child Empress then they see her castle it is indeed beautiful indeed 80’s style made even the music in back ground made that look along with camera angles so good then after we meet atreyu a brave warrior he giving a powerful necklace as well so he must go on a quest to find out how to stop the nothing so where does he go well into swamp of sadness I hate this part of movie I don’t like the horse gives up and sadness swamp gets him but not atreyu he on his own he try to answers from another weird looking creature but he does say to travel a lot of miles you think there is quest will end and sadness of swamp almost got him lucky Falkor the luck dragon save him from eating bye wolf Falkor is best dragon in my view he one I would like have if you go on a quest he wakes up and makes a new friend along with other people as well the women voice sounds like the same actress who was In Willow I wonder hmm so old funny guy who fights with his wife funny how them 2 fight anyway it picks up as he must pass 2 gates to get too the gate that could help him out but he must be careful gate number 1 is smart and both can kill you fast he did make it he was lucky though.

Now on to magic mirror gate which is found out truth on who you like kind of evil that image of yourself shows up and your true Identity is this where it gets odd atreyu as he see bastion in mirror see Atreyu and him are same it does make sense because both share the same emotions as well like when it time to eat but eat at same time and when horse died both was sad so they are connect and this mirror shows truth on who you are it not as bad as old guy says so after see that Bastion flips out for a min but then goes back to story.

The last gate tell him the child like empire needs a new name but not bye him but by a human child hint hint guess that where I think I know where story going this movie has a good build up as well that how so where has atreyu landed where painting on walls show what he been though and then evil wolf is waiting just as killed the wolf the nothing is destroyed everything this was last one as well now there nothing left but ivory tower still stands there and once again some of best shots with camera indeed and soundtrack makes that special so child like empire and she said he not failed and he brought human child yep it was bastion so this was his story interesting so dreams he dream was from this book guess this was his story after all so only way to save them is giving her a new name and he does only them 2 are left but where heck are they look to be nothing anyway he can have any wish he wants now.

So what his first wish riding on luck dragon Falkor and also you see everybody back even horse see he not dead after all a happy ending for Fantasia anyway how did the movie end let say with a little revenge from start of movie that was funny just a great movie this was.

Well no doubt I love this movie it is one of best movies made based on book as well lots of fun good effects great acting this felt like it was real was not acting felt like it was in my view there still a lot of questions I have I do have the book now so maybe will find out there when I read it this movie came out when I was a kid back in days I still have vhs somewhere I think it is a fun movie to watch for years I been watching it and I was happy got to review this one again.

The neverending story (1984) rating 8/10

Warning spoilers ahead

My review

Number 2 of the porky’s movies series didn’t know they had a number 2 so figure will review this but will this be better then first movie Is question so let’s see.

Movie starts off with a little highlight from number 1 and title of porky’s 2 after a nice intro goes to one of character trying to get morning wood funny way to start I was hoping the coach from first movie is back I mean they have to bring her back she was most funny character of first movie that I see that is for sure after watching for 15 mins does not look like they got her back for 2 here which is a shame so will be tough to move but let’s see how they do look like Charlie has his eyes on a new girl Kate her name is.

This might be tough to do what is storyline for part 2 because you don’t want to go same way as first one must have something different like make still funny after watching first 30 mins see some jokes that are funny some but not out of this world yet hopefully it will but there one moment where guy dress up as girl in a play look like that was little funny but silly this also seem to be water down as less crazy so far here less nudity it is feeling like a tv movie way it showing less nudity and sex jokes as well.

There is a weird part when they go to grave and odd stuff with women die think this was joke on pee wee think that what they call him think it was funny a little bit but silly but do think the guy dress up as dead is funny as well.

So how was the last 15 mins of movie go well ending with huge jokes at dinner party and stuff nothing too funny well sort of but not sure what heck they are doing though it was a ok ending for a alright movie.

There some funny spots but not as funny as first one was this was can of low on comedy some and little bit boring as well even if it try to be funny did some but not as in no way this near classic first movie in my view will say it was ok now there is a 3nd one which I may review sometime but not soon is all I got to say.

Porky’s II the next day (1983) rating 6/10

Starring……….. Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor Joy and Charlie Day

Director…………. Matthew Fogel

Synopsis

A plumber name Mario Travels though an underground Labyrinth with his brother Lugi, trying to save a captured princess.

Spoilers ahead warning

My Review

Well after see this have to say as fan of game have to say this was very well done and first was worried they would mess it but from start to finish it was great story was good on how they build brothers from losers to hero’s slowing it was great story also like how when they got Mario land and Lugi was lost Mario meet princess peach and ask for her help meeting at first was something but after talking her into she said she help then after that.

Comes training part where you had to master a maze of traps that was from the game like traps you go though was good princess nailed it at 100% at first almost like she know what she doing Mario took a little bit to get right but he got it after some try’s after that battle between home and Kong was good he use power up to beat as kong agrees to join them at first them two didn’t be friends unit the end though which was funny some as well.

Browser was sort of funny they made him a comedy character do I think that was little too much no problem Jack black did a good job as voiceover on as him cgi did look great lots of Easter eggs with them driving carts sort of reminds me of Mario cart game also like how roads was in sky it almost like video game fight at end there good battle with bowser there at end like how they beat him by grabbing magic power let say the ending was great in the end it was great.

After it was over I said wow what a movie it was one best super mario bros yet and you should see it if your Mario fan as well. That all for this Labor Day movie review I will have the neverending story movie review up Saturday so unit then have a good rest of your Labor Day.

Director………… Andrew Niccol who also write this movie.

Synopsis

Spoilers ahead warning

My Review

Never heard of this movie so will see if bad or good so let review start also movie stars Justin Timberlake as well that should be something to see movie starts off with his character mom who look young remember you only live unit your 25 they could least push up 60 or 65 for age that what I think so how do they know how much time they left well they have a countdown on there arm which is good for checking into places only 7 mins allready thinking this movie maybe weird I mean with the whole 25 age limit sounds silly but still might be good though also I worder how much you pay to buy more time to live that should be interesting what also he is framed for murder so he have to make a run for it as well later on mom time run and she dies at young at of well 25 so I wonder if this how he framed as well also I guess if you want kids have them at young 25 age is limit too after his mom death he will now be fighting against the rules.

So far 26 mins Am I finding this a little bit boring nothing happen yet but maybe story will get better and action will pick up some also a women with short hair has her on eye him well maybe she now be a important character to the movie.

Also again it is weird see everyone so very young having daughters and son but again age limit Is 25 so you have to pick the right time young age again the plot of this movie is very odd but will find interesting as well.

Interesting how life spare on this movie is going to by time you must hurry to boot time up on it if not and it runs to 0 your dead so race is on for Justin character to stay alive and Hide from the police who are looking for him.

So far just see that still slow after a hour and still some what boring a little bit acting is ok not best though there is one cool part where they drive truck though the bank of time and everyone gets a free life boost thanks too them .

They search for 1 million year life spare and find it now question is how will keep it safe from bad guys who also looking for it as well so they give huge life spare to everyone who needs it good move in the end the bad guy let say run of time it was close but lucky to get more time and it ending well ok ending where they are going after more big banks that could of lead to number 2 I think but this movie was not good enough for another one.

Well have to say needed more action the story was good start but as movie keep roll on it was a little weird too me as well otherwise the acting was ok with Justin and Amanda Seyfried yep that her in short hair hard to tell that her though characters ok but they needed a little more to make Justin a true hero did not see much of that so would I watch in time again maybe not too sure it was in the end will say ok also one more thing they could of least give us a nice fight then bad guy running out time fast that was letdown let’s say

In Time (2011) rating 5/10
