Santa Inc. (2021)
I gave it a 1 only because I cannot give it 0
Never figured out who the prime market for this is as this seems unfit, raunchy, boring, and too lame for anyone. Just horrid in every way possible. Even for Seth Rogan this is incredibly poorly done.
A Wrinkle in Time (2018)
Great book, too bad this movie does not resemble it
Unbelievably poor attempt to bring an old favorite book to the screen. Maybe if they had actually tried to follow the book instead of ... whatever this was.
so extremely bad I could not finish it, just too disappointing for words
The Irishman (2019)
Lots of mistakes
Too many mistakes, such as M16s, vehicle and plane technology that did not exist at the time. Continuity issues. 209 minutes! Rental or streaming would be a better format, so you may pause or fast forward past slow parts.
A Christmas Movie Christmas (2019)
It sounded like a good premise
Too over the top sappy, poorly executed, ... I didn't make it half way before calling it quits
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019)
Bait and Switch
The marketing and title leads one to believe this movie was about the wonderful person that was Fred Rogers. Instead this movie is a story about a notoriously critical journalist writing about Mr. Rogers and the impact it had on him.
While Hanks does well at portraying Fred Rogers, who I understand is his 6th cousin, this movie tells you little of who you are lead to believe is the central character.
Watch 'Wont You Be My Neighbor?' (2018) instead
Mr. Rogers was shy, introverted child with health issues that became president of student council, member of honors society, obtained multiple degrees including music graduating magna cum laude, seminary, ordained minister of the Presbyterian Church, ... He wrote and edited all the episodes, played the piano and sang for most of the songs, wrote 200 songs, created all the characters, played most of the major puppet roles, hosted every episode, produced and approved every detail of the program.
Fred attended graduate School of Child Development, and worked closely with a child psychologist. taught young children about civility, tolerance, sharing, and self-worth, tackled difficult topics such as the death of a family pet, sibling rivalry, the addition of a newborn into a family, moving and enrolling in a new school, and divorce. Even dealt with the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy days after it occurred.
There has been nothing else like Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. Groundbreaking and wholesome. When Sesame Street emerged it covered school readiness.
Joker (2019)
the making of a psychotic super villain
It is the making of a psychotic super villain. Phoenix is outstanding, the character building and portrayal of mental health issues great. DeNiro plays DeNiro, meh. Very dark, very violent, not suitable for children. Some may see this movie and think that it justifies violence. It should be used to display why we need to focus more on mental health care.
Rock the Kasbah (2015)
Inspired by a true story
Richie Lanz is a talent manager on hard times. When offered a USO tour to Afghanistan he takes it, but once there his talent steals his money, passport, and plane ticket home. While waiting for a new passport to be issued he is offered a lot of money for a day trip to a village to seal a deal. There he hears a woman singing.
While Richie spends the first half of the movie putting himself and talent through whatever it takes to make money. But when the time comes that he can save himself or live up to a deal made his altruism shines through.
While the story itself is complete fiction, it is inspired by and dedicated to a woman who sings on Afghanistan Star after the ban on Western music in Iran after the 1979.
Rim of the World (2019)
Fun misfit kids forced to be heroes
Four kids separated from the rest of the group at summer camp when aliens attack the world.
If people are downgrading it because it is not on the scale of Infinity Wars or Independence Day they are missing out. The kids and graphics were good, the relationships well played, a couple continuity issues that are minor and do not distract from the fun of a good kids romp.
Drunk Parents (2019)
Avoid
Horrible premise, horrible acting, horrible movie. Cringe-worthy. No redeeming value
