Hancock (2008)
10/10
A flawed hero's journey.
14 December 2019
This is not your typical superhero movie which is a good thing. I like the character arch and development. They did a good job with the support characters as you get to know a little about them so you can have some feeling for them. It's not super action pack but the story is interesting enough to keep your attention.

There is no comic book type of super villain that he has to defeat it is more about him. Hancock is a flawed man who wants to help people but his troubles get in the way. He has personality issues that he eventually overcomes to become the hero he was meant to be.

What I really like about this movie is the fact that he had real life issues to deal with but the movie isn't overly preachy or political. The supporting cast was well picked and they do a good job in helping the story along.

Selma (2014)
10/10
Great Movie
28 December 2014
I really enjoyed this movie it was a lot better than I had anticipated. I was able to determine who each of the characters were just by looking at them they did a great job with the casting. All of the people were portrayed very well and they resembled the people they were depicting. The acting was superb I really felt for the people and their struggle one can only imagine what they went through to achieve their goal.

There wasn't a lot of action but it moved very well and kept my interest. There were some funny moments as well as some heart breaking moments. People clapped with enjoyment at the end of the movie. I don't want to go into great detail since it is based on actual events there is no need to. I was disappointed in the limited release but I was lucky it was on 42 street which is walking distance from the Port Authority so it wasn't a bad commute from NJ. If you have an interest in movies about the Civil rights era this is about as good as it gets. I will be purchasing this for my collection when it is available.

Godzilla (I) (1998)
1/10
Not for Godzilla fans
4 May 2014
I didn't like this movie at all words cannot describe how disappointed I was. I was expecting to see a Godzilla with good CGI special effects who breathed nuclear fire his main attribute. No fire, he didn't sound like the original and he didn't even look like the original. The only think I liked better was the special effects. The guy in the suit was cheesy looking but the movies were more entertaining.

I don't know what they were thinking when they made this but they didn't have old school Godzilla fans in mind. This is more like a lame attempt to beat people out of their money and make a quick buck. I suppose if you didn't grow up watching the original you may enjoy it I think expecting an improve version of the original may have killed it for folks. For old school fans don't waste your time.

One of the best street race flicks
18 September 2013
It was my favorite street race flicks of all time until Fast and Furious came out. Now I debate about which one I like better. You can't be a real car flick guy if you haven't seen this movie. It didn't have a big budget but it has a decent amount of action going on. It wasn't in the theaters very long so I didn't get a chance to catch it on the big screen. It has more emphasis on cars than most car flicks yet it retained a decent story with a good plot. Most car flicks have a crappy story and very little car action. Dennis Hopper was the best character he played the hell out of that role. My only gripe is why the heck hasn't this been release on DVD??? I had it on VHS but I don't know what I did with it :'(
