There are not major spoilers in this review! The State of Bob Dylan If you know anything about Minnesota, it should include being the birthplace of Judy Garland (Frances Ethel Gumm), Prince (Robert Nelson), and Bob Dylan (Robert Allen Zimmerman). Thus begins the journey of Bob Zimmerman growing up in a small town called Hibbing

The Enduring James Bond Franchise: 1962 to 2021 (so far)

12/24/2023

Movie Recommendations, Movie Thoughts

With Daniel Craig leaving as James Bond, the speculation of who will step in his shoes remains unknown. I finally finished watching all the James Bond movies so far. My favorite Bonds are Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan. My next favorite are Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton. The last are Daniel Craig and George Lazenby.

Sort of the Last Six Movies I’ve Watched

03/26/2022

Movie Recommendations, Movie Thoughts

Well, this is sort of right as these are the last ones that aren’t James Bond movies. Some of them weren’t what I expected such as Election that was pretty dark and despite its bad reviews, I liked Jonah Hex. The more serious and dramatic movies of If Beale Street Could Talk and Flight had

Five Halloween Movies I’ve Never Seen and One I’ve Seen Many Times

10/24/2021

Halloween, Movie Thoughts

I’m behind on watching Halloween movies of any kind, new or old, as I’ve been more focused on TV shows and other things. I decided to give these movies a chance. Most of them were complete duds. There’s a reason they received the reviews from the critics. They became more background noise than anything although

The Best Last Eight Movies I’ve Watched Since July 2021

09/11/2021

Movie Recommendations, Movie Roles, Movie Thoughts

I’ve watched more movies than these eight, but these were the ones I think were the worthiest to watch out of all of them. This will basically be a quick recap of each one. The Courier and Mary Shelley are the drama/biography movies. Godzilla vs. Kong and Along with the Gods are the action/sci-fi/fantasy movies. Unhinged and Escape Plan: The Extractors are what I call take it

Wonder Woman (2017) Vs. Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

04/18/2021

Movie Recommendations, Movie Reviews, Movie Roles, Movie Thoughts

I wanted to see for myself if the reviews were justified. I’m not going to go so far as giving WW1984 a green splat (Rotten Tomatoes). It’s incredibly hard to have a second film be better than the first one. This franchise is similar to many other franchises. It is the repeated story over and

Six Movies I’ve Watched in January 2021

02/01/2021

Movie Recommendations, Movie Reviews, Movie Thoughts

Ava (2020) is about an assassin who is being targeted along with her family. The storyline is average and Jessica Chastain holds her own, but I wish there was more action. It is rated R and is one hour and 36 minutes. R.I.P.D. (2013) is about a police officer who unravels the mystery of whose

If I Was Stuck on an Island, I Would Want These Movies With Me

01/26/2021

Movie Recommendations, Movie Roles, Movie Thoughts

If I was stuck on an island and somehow found a way to provide enough electricity to watch a movie, these are the ten movies I would want with me. Hopefully, I would eventually be found but if not, at least there would be some form of entertainment to keep me company. Independence Day (1996)

Last Five Movies I’ve Watched

11/30/2020

Movie Recommendations, Movie Thoughts

I’ve watched these movies when November started and now that November is almost done, well here they are. I’m going to give a quick recap of each one and why I think you should watch them or not. The Ride (2018) is based on a true story, a drama. Boy raised by an abusive father

Last Five Movies I Watched

Movie Recommendations, Movie Thoughts

Watch these movies at your own discretion. I am not responsible for time lost or experience gained. My Week with Marilyn (2011) stars Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe, Kenneth Branagh as Sir Laurence Olivier, and Eddie Redmayne as Colin Clark. It’s about the relationship Colin Clark forms with Marilyn Monroe on the set of The

How Sensitive Should We Be In Life And While Watching Movies?

01/28/2020

Hollywood, Life, Movie Thoughts

You what word I can’t stand today? It’s the word “woke.” Former President Barack Obama stated his opinion where telling someone s/he did something wrong is not activism or brings about change. People are way too much on Twitter and whatever other social media platform they use to tell others to “get woke.” Please spare

Five Movies I’ve Watched in the Last Two Weeks

09/30/2019

Movie Recommendations, Movie Thoughts

I decided to do this a little differently. I’m going to state two reasons to see the movie and one reason that might persuade you otherwise but probably not. Then, you can decide if you want to watch them if you haven’t already. Here it goes. ******* Into the Woods (2014) is a movie about

10 Movies I Shouldn’t Have Watched but Did Between 2000 to 2015

04/16/2019

Movie Recommendations, Movie Thoughts

Watch these movies at your own discretion. I am not responsible for time lost or gained. Hard Candy (2005) was one I struggled with and thought was overall bad from start to finish. It was casting, story, and pacing all rolled into one. There wasn’t enough suspense to keep me engaged. I understand Hayley’s how
