I actually lived through this event in real time. My experience was this..for 20 minutes or so, I stepped out of my house and found most of my neighbors were outside, not panicking at all. We talked amongst each other and inquire whether this was really happening (while the siren are blaring on the background), no one was rushing to leave (where would we go?), some are on their cellphone talking with friends and relatives inquiring about how it is in their part of town; everyone was calm, no one panicking; gotta admit though, I did look up in the sky a few times looking for anything bright and moving fast toward us, didn't see any..and it went on this way for about half an hour until it was announced on radio broadcast that it was all false alarm. And just like that, everyone outside simply went back in their homes and went on with their lives like nothing happened. Then again, it's a movie..so gotta butter it up I guess.

A little mellow all around, and to have performed as such in Vegas, didn't quite hit it for me. Not on par with his previous venues..not as animated..not as loud..and, frankly, not as funny. Need to come up with new materials not involving family members..sometimes, it can br a bit tiring hearing about stories involving his wife and Father. I thought for a minute old Vegas would be the subject of the show since it started out to be leaning that way but, it turned out, not to be..I was going to pay the price for this show since I was in town during the segment, I'm glad decided not to at last minute. A few laughs, but nothing spectacular//

Want to see a similar movie, with a much believable lead female (played with grit and conviction by Rowlands) and supported by a very likeable young boy (played by John Adames)..look for "Gloria of 1980." No nonsense acting delivered by both. This one, however..well, a one time watch just to kill time//

Although a lot of reaction by prominent characters in this film is quite redundantly unbelievable, there are a handful of them that are..and I would do exactly as they did - have a last dinner and talk about other things. I really enjoyed this film//

Not so fond of reading subtitles, but this one earned my time to do just that. Fun flick with a bit of romance, comedy, and some killing here and there..and best of all, our hero doesn't even look the part. Really enjoyed it//

For a black widow she sure ain't that smart. Months after doing away with her latest victim, and his family all good and acceptable of how it was portrayed happened, why would she then supply his sister with all kinds of documented information concerning his death? It's done, all quiet on the western front, go work on your next victim..geez. Anyhoo, this is a made for TV movie, understandable..so might as well finish the damn thing and move one//

For someone who's meticulous with everything he does, quiet and to himself, pinpoint with his routine, to suddenly let a young stranger into his life because he handed him a note with his name and phone number? Lost me there right off. Similar movie I've watched recently called "Hard Eight" was a lot better than this one, and it won't leave you hanging at the end.

So you wanna take your cop husband for some rest and recreation after getting injured on the job, and thought camping in the woods is the way to go? They have no children and have good jobs, Miami would've been a better choice..then, while strolling through the woods they run into the first house to get out of the rain (if there's a house nearby, it wasn't much of a wilderness to begin with), walk in like it's their own, and have sex on the couch without first checking the entire house for occupants? But, you know, I watched it till the end anyway..sometimes, one has to sit through a bad movie every once in awhile//

Well, we finally found out where Lucy McClane ended up. Seems like everything were filmed during the night from start to finish, would've been nice to see some daylight sequences here and there..could've done without the early car chase just to showcase what kids drive around with in the land of rising sun (again, the sun). Winstead did fine, a lot better than some of the female assassin flicks that came out recently (Ava, Anna, Milkshake)..and fighting scenes remind one of John Wick. Would be nice if Harrelson was given more screen time and more to do, but I guess he just agreed to be in it for the money. Not a waste of time; in fact, I'll give it another twirl in a day or two..she should've been casted as Captain Marvel//

I'm not much into this type of movies, but I've seen just about everything on Netflix so far, and this one just came out..so. Don't know who Victoria Justice was before this, glad to finally see her in one..and the character played by Robyn Scott was likeable enough. Yeah, sure, it's not blood, guts, and flying limbs - but I enjoyed it//

It started off with a good ten or so minutes with quick intro and a nice gimmick to a kill, then the Jackson character dumped his sniper rifle away on the lake and I thought "now, why would a assassin do that?" Hell, even Columbiana did everything she could to secure her rifle..it was all downhill after that. There's a reason John Wick is a likeable character..he doesn't talk and quick to kill those he intends to, didn't even let Losef and Santino finish their last words before blasting them away. Then, before you know it, a pathetic ending//

The first episode started off with her grocery shopping; I thought that was funny, and they should've gone with that..Paris Hilton planning on preparing so and so dish then do a show with her buying all she needed for that dish at a supermarket while engaging with other shoppers and workers//

I could go to Safeway now and would never find a healthier batch of celery that they have where they're at, Mars I suppose; and where the heck is the water coming from and how is it pumped into the tank thirty feet high? There are so many question, hundreds in fact..but ain't going to ask. I guess she'll bump into the blind man Eli on her way to, well, somewhere//

Didn't have much interest in chess, then I watched Queen's Gambit, and all that changed for me. Not about the game of chess, but for what wonderful story could be written from it. Didn't have much interest in western films anymore..then I freaking watched Godless, and all is restored. Magnificent seven episodes (pun intended) ending with a shootout with a first death that'll make you go "noooo!" - but you go on. Numbers of very likeable characters will keep you watching at the edge of your seats..and a perfect villain to keep you interested till the end. By the way, my home town is Atascadero..so I could be bias, lol. Recommended very highly//

I'm a sucker for courtroom drama; never heard of Axis Sally before, thought it was fiction until I researched it and found it's not fiction at all. Pacino carried the movie from beginning to end, no longer have the energy of Arthur but still capable of deliberation (no pun intended). Sally's character was okay, but I keep thinking how it would've played out if she was acted by Jessica Chastain, for example, instead of Meadow Williams. Overall, not a bad watch..then again, I'm a sucker for courtroom drama//

Enough with all these wilderness fire flicks, Only the Brave is one too many. And enough with miscasting people in character jobs you wouldn't believe occupied in real life - Angelina Jolie as a forest firefighter? Jodie Turner-Smith as a SEAL in Without Remorse? Ah, well, good thing I'm a fan of Jolie..so I sat through it; had no idea forest fire could travel that fast (probably not) on a non-windy situation, and could cease without a drop of water dumped into it. I think she's thinking of adopting the kid at the end..
