Rabbit Test (1978)

Alex Rocco

[1/10 · 23 April 2024]

Alex Rocco was involved in arguably the greatest movie ever, and the worst, most gut wrenching film of all time. Mr Rocco drew a laugh from me in one of his scenes. The scene where scrabble is being played is a bit amusing. I had only seen Billy Crystal on the TV show Soap, and doing stand-up on HBO before I saw this "film". I was never much of a Joan Rivers fan. When she was finished filming, and watched this for the first, did she say "Yep! This is the film I wanted to make? Let's show it to other people".

Other than that you have been warned. I read some of the other 1 star ratings. I recommend you do likewise. Take heed. Watch another film unless it's just sheer utter morbid curiosity that you must watch this film.

Breaking Bad: No Más (2010) Season 3, Episode 1

Enter the Terminators!

[10/10 · 15 August 2023]

What a scary ass episode!! The introduction of the twins reminded me of the first Terminator film! The way Marco & Leonel whacked out an entire truckload of people without batting an eye!!

Heisenberg knows, as well as Jesse that they indeed are at least partially responsible for Wayfarer 515. Much more so for Heisenberg! Then again if Donald Margolis had just stuck to his guns and called the police. Or if he just made Jane go to rehab immediately, instead of caving in, maybe she wouldn't have died with a mouthful of puke.

So much is happening here. Skylar sees a divorce lawyer. Heisenberg tells Skylar he is a methamphetamine manufacturer. Not a dealer. Jesse spouts off about how he deserves this. In the same manner as Heisenberg in 4 daze out. Speaking of Heisenberg. He is now removing the crust from his sandwiches. Interesting shout-out to krazy-8! This is an excellent terrifying episode!

Smokey and the Bandit II (1980)

Movies like this give sequels a bad name....

[4/10 · 6 April 2023]

How could this film be so bad? We have all these great actors and such a weird, goofy story. The humor goes over the top with the stupid comedy. No one in this film that was in the first film are nearly as funny. We have the Bandit sprinting against a horse. Jackie Gleason plays multiple character that are all family from all over the US & Canada who are all also sheriffs. You could say Smokey & the Bandit 2 is to Smokey & the Bandit as Cannonball Run 2 is to Cannonball Run. Or vice versa. This film reminds me of those sequels where all the parts were recast with lesser actors. Is that too much? This film is great compared to Smokey/Bandit 3. So there's that.

Better Call Saul: Nippy (2022) Season 6, Episode 10

Gene turning back into Saul

[9/10 · 26 July 2022]

Very cool and unexpected episode! Gene turns the tables on Jeff. Gives him a taste of the game. Carol Burnett plays Jeff's mom! I'm so glad we had this time together. Just to have a laugh, or sing a song! My bad! Got distracted. Naturally, Gene completely endears himself to her big time! Gene manipulates the mall security with cinnabons & a sob story! This was a very unexpected plot, considering there are only 3 episodes remaining. But I suppose Gene & Jeff had loose ends! Okay, peace out...

The Batman (2022)

Excellent Film

[9/10 · 5 March 2022]

An original and violent Batman film! A seriously scary Riddler. Colin Farell's take on the Penguin is very wiseguy!! If he wasn't in Gotham he'd be in Goodfellas! Fuhgeddaboudit!! This is a very entertaining film and I look forward to the next installment! Okay peace out.

Rollercoaster (1977)

I loved this movie!!

[8/10 · 30 January 2022]

First saw it in theaters when I was a kid! Thought it was a blast! Still love this movie to this day! Great cast!! Timothy Bottoms plays a great psycho mystery villain! Love the side stories regarding Harry's battle to quit smoking and his interactions with his daughter (played by Helen Hunt), ex-wife, girlfriend, and boss! An all-around excellent thriller!

Gotti (1996 TV Movie)

One Of The Best Mob Films Ever

[10/10 · 22 December 2021]

This is one of the best mob films ever! Right up there with Goodfellas, Godfather II, etc. All of the actors in this film went over and above to portray their respective characters. Especially, Assante, Quinn, Forsythe as well as everyone that went on to play in the Sopranos!! I don't know how accurate this film is historically, but it is fully entertaining from beginning to end!!

M*A*S*H: April Fools (1980) Season 8, Episode 25

A shot and a beer!

[10/10 · 8 August 2021]

One of the funniest episodes of the series! Pat Hingle is great!! Would have loved to see more of his character's real personality!! Seemed outrageous!!

Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020)

Great Film!!

[10/10 · 29 March 2021]

Riveting film from beginning to end! Intense performances by one & all!! Not a feel-good movie! Lots of great films weren't feel-good movies!!

a.k.a. Cassius Clay (1970)

A Great Documentary!!

[10/10 · 16 February 2021]

A very unique documentary! The banter between Ali & D'Amato is great! Ali doesn't miss the chance to tell Cus that he's not as dumb as he looks! Both speak to the cameras at various points! Lots of great old fight footage!! There will never be another Muhammad Ali!!

The Gumball Rally (1976)

A Classic

[9/10 · 25 November 2020]

One of the great road films of the '70s!! Lots of funny characters and situations that make this film a harmless romp!! As a kid one of my older sisters had a serious case of the screaming thigh sweats for Michael Sarrazin! This film costars a mess of familiar faces and is entertaining to the end!! Okay peace out.

Unhinged (I) (2020)

Attack of the Fat Guy

[7/10 · 25 November 2020]

Not Crowe's finest moment, but still a moderately entertaining film! He drives super psycho angry! Lots of cool crashes and final destination style deaths! Crowe either got super obese for this role or his fat suit and make up are top notch!! Either way, his sweaty fat guy is seriously creepy! Okay peace out!!

My Super Ex-Girlfriend (2006)

Love this movie. No matter what

[8/10 · 16 October 2020]

Why couldn't Professor Bedlam touch the rock after it sucked the power from Jenny's hair? Anyway, this is a fun movie with a lot of good laughs!!

Tenet (2020)

One Bad Ass Confusing Movie...

[9/10 · 30 September 2020]

Loved this movie. It's very well acted! Lots of action back and forth. Or would that be lots of inverted action forth & back?!? So did Kenneth Branagh own a doomsday bomb 💣, machine or something? I really tried to pay attention to this movie but I was lost when they started making bullets move with dishwasher gloves. Good film. Go see it. Then you can explain your interpretation of it to me. Okay peace out ✌🏼

Silver Streak (1976)

Loved this movie from the first

[9/10 · 14 May 2020]

This movie came out just a couple years after my dad went to work for Amtrak. I was a little kid! So there's that! Anyway, this movie is the real deal that's for sure! All around funny! Everyone has their moments! Richard Pryor's character isn't introduced until well into the film! His intro takes an already extremely entertaining & funny film to the next level! Silver Streak is a classic that will never get old!!

Champions Forever: The Latin Legends (1997)

No Monzon?!?

[10/10 · 16 March 2020]

First off let me start by saying I loved this film! A great and most worthy follow up to the original! Question? How do you make a latin legends of boxing compilation and not include quite possibly the greatest middleweight champion ever? Carlos Monzon absolutely deserved inclusion in this tribute!! With that off my chest, let me say that this documentary is an excellent, informative and fun homage to many of the greatest champions in boxing history!! For me the chapters on Duran and Arguello are my favorites! The Salavador Sanchez chapter was very special considering how he died at such a very young age! A great piece dedicated to a great champion who left us far too soon! Every boxing fan should see this video! Okay peace out ✌🏼

That '70s Show: That '70s Musical (2002) Season 4, Episode 24

Bizarre Episode

[10/10 · 4 March 2020]

During the scene where Donna, Hyde, Fez & Eric do Steve Miller Band's The Joker while in the circle! Then the camera view is from the ceiling as the four go into some sequential arm movements, and they flash the swastika a few times! Not making any type of accusation. Just stating what I saw! One of my favorite episodes for sure! Most of the musical numbers are done in dream sequences as Fez looks off into the distance! Great episode for sure! Just not altogether sure how the multiple swastikas got past the cutting room floor! Okay peace out✌🏼

Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970)

What's up with the Mission Impossible Masks

[6/10 · 4 January 2020]

Where did the underground people acquire all of the Mission Impossible masks? Since they are constantly removing them they must have more than one! Do they have different ones for separate occasions? Since they have someone that's all skilled in making these masks, couldn't they also make ape masks to fool the reals apes? Pretty good Planet of the Apes sequel! Just didn't get the underground people masks! Okay peace out!

The Twilight Zone: A Nice Place to Visit (1960) Season 1, Episode 28

Mr. French Visits The Twilight Zone

[8/10 · 1 January 2020]

An amusing little tale starring Mr. French as a guide for the newbies in the afterlife, with the obligatory twist ending! Okay peace out!!

The Irishman (2019)

The Only 3 1/2 Hour Film Leaving You Wanting More

[10/10 · 28 November 2019]

What can I say? This film is an incredible masterpiece! Al Pacino steals every scene he's in! Whether or not this film is historically accurate is a mute point! It's based on true events! This is a very different film from Goodfellas! Yet every bit as excellent!! It is awesome seeing Joe Pesci playing a cool, calm and collected, not to mention calculating mob boss! The first scene between Pesci, Keitel, & DeNiro is very intense! Pesci never says a word during this scene yet his presence is so powerful!! One of my favorite scenes in the movie! Great film! Congratulations to all involved!!

Cheers: The Last Picture Show (1993) Season 11, Episode 18

A connection to season 1 episode 2?

[9/10 · 5 November 2019]

Is this episode a direct connection to episode 2 from season 1 where Leo asks Coach to get Gus because Gus has all of the answers? Coach eventually tells Leo that Gus died. According to this episode Gus did not die after all. Just wondering. Okay peace out...

Joker (I) (2019)

Damn! We See Bruce Wayne's Parents Blown Away Again...

[9/10 · 20 October 2019]

An excellent interpretation of the Joker! An all-new take on one of the most iconic characters in comic book history. The Joker's alter ego wanted an everyday carefree life as a stand-up comic. This Joker is seriously ill emotionally, among other issues! Great film! Okay, peace out!!

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (2019)

Heisenberg Is Dead

[10/10 · 11 October 2019]

We learn that Mike inspired Jesse to want to relocate to Alaska! Todd was even more psycho than we originally saw. Skinny Pete & Badger are the kind of friends we wish we all had! Robert Forester's character doesn't forget. Old Joe is a massive help, even though we only see him for a minute. So, mind at ease! We learn very early in the film that Heisenberg is indeed dead via radio broadcast! With a good many of the new baddies Jesse reputation precedes him. This is a very good solid film. Yet when it ended it felt as though something was missing. Okay, peace out!

Werewolf (1987–1988)

The Hulk sprouts fangs & fur!

[8/10 · 30 September 2019]

This is a lot like the Incredible Hulk! You have a nice guy that gets bit by a werewolf. Someone he knows attacks him. This person knows they are about to change. But he just keeps talking it up right until he changes! Some friend! Anyway, the main character never kills anyone, and in most cases the werewolf acts as more of a super hero than a monster. Saving the day for the guest star that is all unappreciative because it was a scary werewolf that saved them to live another day! Plus the werewolf is "relentlessly" pursued by Col. Glass from Stripes. Much like the reporter that was all over the Hulk! Whatever! I would have preferred they made this show focusing on the old guy from Branded!! Or have the show focus on a nice guy that does horrible things when he changes! Like in the movies! Okay peace out!!

Breaking Bad: 4 Days Out (2009) Season 2, Episode 9

Heisenberg goes all Mike Tyson on the Paper Towel Dispenser

[10/10 · 15 July 2019]

Was Walt angry at the news that his cancer had responded positively to the treatment because such a good cancer diagnosis equals more cancer treatment bills? More medical bills means more cooking! More cooking means more lying to the family! Am I overthinking? Great episode! Jessie and the ignition key sound! Brilliant!! I guess now they could have just sent their location to Skinny Pete from their iPhones! Church!
