Nacho Libre (2006)
I missed the humor in this
Tried watching this movie and made it to the end, but it did nothing for me. I didn't laugh once, but I think I was supposed to. At some points, it felt like someone was trying to recreate some of the awesomeness from Napoleon Dynamite. Then I read that the same director was involved in both. Anyhow, the actors do a decent job, I just feel they had nothing to work with. This movie almost ran like a drama rather than a comedy, the story of a priest/monk or whatever that would do whatever he could for the children he looked after.
The Dressmaker (2015)
Not my type of movie, but OK
First off, I appreciate any movie these days that can be made for under $20 million without constant action sequences and special effects from one moment to the next. That being said, I wasn't overly impressed. I liked some of the characters, but found their performances more theatrical than realistic. I'm sure it was meant to be that way, but it takes away from the characters in my opinion. I felt the movie spent lots of time pursuing irrelevant tangents and not enough truly developing the dislike we should have for the antagonists. The scenery and music as well as the outfits are enjoyable. Winslet and Hemsworth do a good job acting in this, but it's not enough to save the movie and make this something I would watch more than once.
Captain America: Civil War (2016)
I guess it helps if you were into the comics
Nothing really stood out for me while watching Civil War. Of course you have your neat action scenes and some enjoyable actors, but I have no interest in ever seeing it again. Maybe if I were into the comics or had watched the prequels it would have helped me with character development.So if you are content to watch one fun and expensive action scene after another, this is probably a good pick. I must be getting old. This is the first I can ever recall Aunt May being hot. Oh man do I miss the forums on here. Please bring them back!
Breaker! Breaker! (1977)
3,9 Stars? Come on! It deserves at least 4.
Oh how I miss the message boards. This film was made for one reason only...to watch good ol Chuck walk around and kick some people in the chest. That being said, sometimes that is all it takes to make a watchable movie. There are some shallow supporting cast and a love interest that I think I blinked too long while watching and they became a couple. There's also a nice nod to the camaraderie of mid-70s truckers on their CBs. So to wrap up, some fun martial arts from Mr. Norris. I've seen a heck of a lot worse.
Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 (2011)
Filler Fluff For Female Fourteen-year-olds
IMDb told me to write a review, so here it goes.
Breaking Dawn Part 1 was a filler movie if I ever saw one. It brought back all the original minor characters for a brief and often pointless interaction with their more important brethren. It then spent an hour painfully trying to demonstrate vampire sex to tweens. They then leave us with a cliffhanger requiring everyone pay another $12 at the movies to see how the first part ends. If this movie did not already have a following from the previous blah titles in the series, no one would have watched it. Perhaps I will tune in when they remake this movie in 50 years, because this one was so bad the remake would have to be better.
