True Lies (2023)
Not sure what folks were expecting!
Looking at the poor reviews folks have given this show, I'm not sure what they were expecting. I was expecting a light, action-packed show that I could watch without spaining my brain. It's true that the leads don't have the amazing acting range of Arnold Schwarzenegger & Tom Arnold (I'm being facetious here, folks), but that's not why I watched it. I wanted to watch something that kept my attention & made me chuckle once in a while. This fit the bill. If I want to watch something that makes me ponder the meaning of life, I'll watch Meet John Doe! The folks that panned this movie are probably the same ones who buy a Camaro & complain it doesn't handle as well as a Ferrari!
American Underdog (2021)
Loved this movie
I loved this movie on so many levels. The title could be applied to many of the main characters. The fact that it was based on a real story makes it that much better. And with Kurt & Brenda Warner being involved in the making of the film, I didn't have to worry about the letdown I experienced after seeing "The Blind Side" when Michael Oher poo posed the whole thing. If you saw the movie in the theater, buy the Bluray so you can watch the special features. They'll make you like the movie even more. Some very interesting interviewers were used to very good effect.
Reacher (2022)
Finally, a real Jack Reacher!
Let me start off by saying that I enjoyed the two Tom Cruise Jack Reacher movies. But as a fan of the books, I never really thought of them as Jack Reacher.
Finally, we have a Reacher that measures up.
The Green Knight (2021)
Not an action-adventure movie.
Give me the old knight movies. This is a genre that should reward viewers with action & adventure, not a plodding trip through darkness.
The Bicyclists (2009)
A bit maudlin! If you're looking for uplifting, keep looking.
I'm a bike nut, so I'm always intrigued by anything bike related. I enjoyed the footage of the bike rides, and the acting was okay, but the story was weak and dreary. Needed to go for a ride to purge the bad feelings after watching this!
Without Remorse (2021)
Should be named "Nothing Like Tom Clancys No Remorse"
No Remorse is my favorite Tom Clancy novel. Hopefully, some day someone will make it into a movie. Unfortunately, this wasn't it.
That being said, this was an okay action movie. Things blew up & people got shot. They take a lot of liberties with reality, but it's what a lot of movies in this genre do.
Think of it as a veggie burger. If you're expecting a hamburger, you'll be disappointed, but if you accept that you're getting fake meat, it'll be okay.
In the Earth (2021)
Ugh! Wish I could get that time back.
Kept waiting for the ah ha moment that would make this movie make sense. Unfortunately, the credits ran before that moment.
