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

Synopsis

Two 1990s teenage siblings find themselves transported to a 1950s sitcom where their influence begins to profoundly change that colorless, complacent world.

Warning spoilers ahead

My review

Well after two teens fight over remote it broken then Don knotts show up nice to see him anyway he brings them a new one a magic remote with 1 press of button can take you anywhere so is he a wizard or something not sure any teens played by tobey maguire and Reese Witherspoon who was good in this playing there characters so after fighting again they somehow worder up in tv show Pleasantville seem like they are stuck as Don knotts get mad at them and leave them there for a little while so they are stuck in a tv show so things pick up as they start connecting with folks of Pleasantville like teaching them things from there world like cough sex which they never heard off how heck have you not figure that out I thought that odd so girl teaches them to make out and then they Slowy start changing color pretty much that whole film which I thought was good the ending did pick up as soon as people got mad about changing to full color but a nice speech changing there views so now do they get back only teen boy gets back as teen girl stays there as soon he gets back he has a nice talk with there mom and what odd she did not ask where his sister at could of least added that but it ending let say a colorful way and ok as well.

Well have to say not a bad movie not best movie the acting was great will say but story was ok little weird but in the end still liked this would I watch this again probably anyway happy cornfest another one here in my hometown and figure to release this early for today so have a great day and rest of your weekend.

My review

I figured I do this one for review on my birthday was going to review new Ghostbusters but needed a little more time on that so going with this a Tom hanks and Meg Ryan classic not sure if I see this or not but anyway see it so here is my review you’ve got mail from 1998.

So how does this movie start with computer stuff with title you got mail pretty cool intro there it like a model of city in computer cgi stuff then it goes from that to real life intro is little bit long but not too bad as well then we see Meg Ryan her character name is Kathleen and look like she talking to a guy on computer this was 90’s so internet was aol man or man how internet has changed so pretty much start off two people sending mail too each other day here the catch both live in same city as well so opening so them walking by each other tom hanks character name is Joe so Joe and Kathleen she works at store as Joe works for a head of company who own by his father.

They both seem fun people as Joe is good with kids and Kathleen is good with kids as well telling story to them in book store Joe and kids go in so is this where they will meet for first little did they know they are sending mail too each other yep they do meet now question when do they start falling in love but there maybe trouble ahead as another book store is opening and guess who works for that store Joe and this book store is biggest as well so before they fall in love they may feud with each other.

The book store is taking her down a lot so Joe Is trying to help her by chating with her online this is good movie on so far 45 mins in so far. Not have fall in love in fact she attacking Joe now well joe did her to do it so blame on him funny wait unit them two find out truth well they made a date on too meet and Joe finds out it Kathleen first so how do things go he does go in well things don’t go too well at all between them at all she still does not know he the guy yet and thinks guy she was meeting did not show boy she will be in for a huge surprise lol.

Her friends think he a killer in newspaper that odd no way she bye that at all so after there fight Joe is not sending her anything he mad 😠 at her he needs to get over it and tell her truth but he makes up story at first try too send it but could not pretty much so far they are doing a good job building up this one Tom hanks and Meg Ryan acting been great in this one as well great acting.

Joe gets stuck in elevator for a while after that goes to book store of Kathleen is closing which is sad look like Joe win but later on after a talk with his father he felt sorry so he goes to visit her they talk and he says words from mail I think she slowing figure out but she still does not know come on it is Joe still they doing a good job on building up just as thought big reveal comes at the end because there only ten mins left so he set up a date to meet her on Saturday so she goes to meet and well she figure out it was Joe as movie ends with song over the rainbow not sing by judy but still a nice version of it and it ends with them kissing a beautiful ending to a great movie.

Very good the acting and story was great tom hanks and Meg Ryan performance in this one was great best moment was at the end building up was great to the ending a good romantic movie this proves that two people can fall in love just by e-mail as well that it my for this birthday movie thanks for all birthdays wishes on SoCal media so far birthday going well and was happy to review this one on my birthday thanks again and have a good night.

You’ve got mail rating 7.5/10

Dr. Otto and the Riddle of the Gloom Beam (1985) movie review

Starring……….. Jim Varney , Glen Petach

Director…………. John Cherry III

Synopsis

Dr. Otto grows a hand of top of his head and tries to destroy the world.

Warning spoilers ahead

My review

Taking a look Ernest first movie or Jim varney this first of Ernest movies series by the way Ernest only appears for 2 mins in which is odd no that not all time jim is in he plays other character including an odd character, Dr. gloom in my a man with hand in back of his head trying to kill the world mistake it Dr. Otto character who mess with people life so he is a god or something not also this movie is weird because it goes to different characters of who jim playing would of been nice to just play a few but I see many movies of Jim he does this good so this start of many movies he does so is this how Ernest comes about as Dr Otto turns into and this how series start that what I was thinking maybe would be a odd way to start off Ernest character though.

After watching this 30 mins not sure where heck it going because again to hop Jim as many characters if you like him in many roles then this movie for that for sure will say his costumes is kind of wacko for his Dr Otto look too me and little weird too me because I see many of Jim movies and never see him as bad guy before that for sure.

So I was worder how will his first movie ending my guess was probably a not good ending or weird ending so does Dr. Otto win or no well still does many characters like to know names his play but so many don’t have time to list him so Dr. Otto seems to be after 2 people here at end again plot of this movie was written odd so never know which this goes at the end well 2 people show up at Dr. Otto house so will final 10 mins end up being a battle or not well he turns into many characters then fights they end up trying to get rid of machine to see if that weaks him or not well Lance press the right button pretty much destroyed Dr. Otto place go up in flames so is that end will Ernest snow up at the end? Yeah, it’s only for two minutes this time but turns out to be a little twist maybe that how it started not sure it ends with him saying know what I mean.

Well I see many of movies have to say this one could have been better would have like to see more then 2 mins of Ernest if this was his first movie what a odd one it was funny some but plot was odd will say it ok movie but bad as well some not all of but some was bad as well just think this was start of many funny movies as well think after this years later came Ernest goes to camp one of his best films yet never thought see him in his first movie he would play bad guy and lots of roles as well it was ok but he could of least trim it down a little on that only problem I had with this one and better plot as well.

Well that it for this weekend review see next Saturday for next one.

Dr. Otto and the riddle of Gloom Bleam (1985) rating 6/10

Starstuck (1982) movie review

Starring…………… Joey Kennedy , Ross O’Donovan and Margo Lee

Directed by………….. Gillian Armstrong

Synopsis

A teenage girl, with dreams are becoming a famous singer tries to secure a a spot on the local TV talent show..

Warning spoilers ahead

My review

After watching this have to say it not a bad movie with lots of color hair that 80’s for you indeed that for sure story is about a teenage girl try to be famous after watching first 10 mins it pretty much is a story also I think this was filmed in Australia back in the 80s. I can tell it sounds like an Australian movie like type which Is not bad also songs are interesting as you get deep in the movie does it still hold on and be good let sort of music starts picking up and will she get her big break or not is question.

Well have to say last 31 mins was not bad look like she was trying to get on stage maybe they turn her down but she would not give up and try to get on big stage that could take to places she never been too well as she was by the way character name is Jackie well have to say it was ok her brother who I think that is got laid as she singing on stage with song Starstuck and it ended in weird way let say but it was not best movie I say story was little confusing.

While I didn’t mind acting Jo Kennedy was good she got a great voice and must say after watching this it did feel like 80’s with costumes and hairstyle and hair color. By the way, I must say most of the music was pretty good but again the story was confusing. I mean it started off good for the story, but then once she got towards the end, it kind of went down a little bit to me so I had no clue where it was going so did I enjoy it will say yes it was fun watching it but will say interesting could of they end it in a better way thought the ending was silly a little yes but funny.

So will say was this comedy movie or musical both in my view so Is worth checking out full movie Is on YouTube but make sure you put year 1982 if not will come up with tv series and not movie as for now have a good rest of your weekend and sure next Saturday will have another review up.

Starring ………..Dwayne Johnson, Aldis Hodge and Pierce Brosnan

Director……………. Jaume Collet - Serra

Synopsis

After 5,000 years in prison, Black Adam is free- however, a team known as Justice Society looks to return him to eternal captivity.

Spoilers ahead warning

My Review

Time for another new one a movie starring the rock aka Dwayne Johnson this week review is called Black Adam from 2022.

Movie starts off in year 2600 telling story of evil crown not a bad start because I have not one clue what this movie will be like all I know is a familer face is in it I think though young boy at that start is character black Adam seem to be powerful now they hop to future after story of black Adam now a group maybe looking for that crown why my guess probably will make rich or is from one of group past not sure yet if Dwayne is playing a good guy or bad guy guess I found out her in a bit.

She finds the crown but might too late bad guys was there as a attack then she unleash him yep black Adam look to be very powerful as well what a opening there good effects look like he a god type character with them powers lots of kick ass to start it can of look like as well he is a good guy he did save them from missile from bad guys but they may think he too powerful to be free in this world so they may have to find Justice society and they show them show up.

Meanwhile black Adam wakes up in a house where he has no memory where heck he is he meets woman that awake him and said I have no business being here so he leaves crash though walls least he could use door but he from past where they did not use door much lol.

Back to Justice society where they planning on finding black Adam then hawkman is showing then dr fate is shown as well they should not be fighting against each other but they think he a big threat so let them fight I guess but good luck he more powerful then Justice Society they do throw everything at him when heck of a battle that was pretty good action in this one for now black Adam is gone for now but later the one free him try to tell him he is a hero but he thinks not so Justice society try to talk to him they sort of get along a little but still lots to iron out.

Well almost a hour In and a hour left of movie have to say good action fights scenes so far acting is pretty so far surprised to see pierce Brosnan in this one as dr fate very cool so far he fits role very good and Dwayne so far has been good as black Adam character as well so pretty good on acting and effects story is ok little confused if they after black Adam or keeping crown Again think it crown that they need keep out of bad guy hands.

Then he become a ugly god so now he will be tough to stop justice society try to stop him but dr fate may of got his view of future so he leaves his friends behind and go after demon his self he then awakes black Adam he the only man powerful enough to face this Demon dr fate lost his life but black Adam did show up so final fight will be black Adam vs demon.

Was not a bad fight they used an old trick from dr fate to beat demon at the end good move after that it ending with black Adam accept he is a hero after that went to credits but there a huge bonus credit at the end while this could be great not sure if it lead anywhere though that would be one heck of a team up or battle very interesting is what I say.

As for the movie was not best but it was good Dwayne did a good job in super hero role and effects of fighting was good for battle lots of action as well acting was good as so did I like this one yes it was very good to watch another one of Dwayne movies I have not see many of his movies so was happy to review this one as well so in the end black Adam was a great movie well that it for this review have a great rest of your weekend.

Black Adam (2022) rating 7/10

Director………… Harley Cokeliss

Synopsis

Spoilers ahead warning

My review

Before I start this is tv movie and is not on dvd as well so it was not in theaters where did air not sure because it was made in 1997 so will be checking it out to see if this was a classic or not it list under Tubi classics movies.

Movie start off with a teen character name Lucy who not happy with way things are going with her life so on her birthday her grandma gives her a ring ruby that can give you 2 wishes so she wishes for a better life well she got her wish as she is send back in time and Is put in castle as what they think is a maid so her wish came too but not life she wanted dress up working in castle as maid and what worst she lost ring so she if she wants to get back in her time she must find the ring and time not on her side she only has 24 hours to wish to go home or else wish will stuck forever and she trapped in time.

The plot of story is pretty much her trying to find the ring that silp off her finger in castle when she arrive in that time and castle arrive she does find the ring but others do as well thinking she steal it so they keep it away from here and well be rude to her now she must find a way to get though that and get ring back before thieves do little be chessy but acting did hold up some as well in this and sort of adventure movie as well with race again time to get back ruby ring that gives you wishes what kind of wishes maybe money would it turn you evil if you wish’s for it maybe but right now it look like it send you too anytime you want with that 1 catch as well.

Also there is some romance as well she does fall in love with a guy though sort of know they throw that in but that ok because would be interesting to see how that plays out though if he buys her story or not she try to tell anyone but no one believes it unit close to end though and helps her out.

So was there anything mind blowing at end any well after returning she goes to visit castle and finds a painting that look like her and she meets what May of been great grandson of guy she fall in love with after that not much with just a walk to castle with sun set at end not a bad ending but would of like something more there.

As for movie it was good did like it acting was pretty good story a little bit chessy but that ok should of added that one of person that she work with was a family member or something that would of been cool but ending on who lived in castle in her time was ok maybe she fall in love him they did not say pretty much that hint there at end though not a bad way to end it. So is the Ruby Ring worth your time to watch yes I would right now it on YouTube. Tubi so you have many chances to see if you like there a little bit of drama in it but not bad as well.

That it for this weekend review see you next Saturday for next review.

The Ruby Ring (1997) rating 7/10
