1. Love Brendan Fraser! Hated the Movie - I love love love Brendan. His acting is superb bar none. However I hated the movie. Hated it. It does nothing but bash on religion and the daughter remained a money grubbing brat to the the end, there was no real conclusion. And despite bashing religion ( all characters) Brendan ‘s character “gets” to go to heaven. The whole movie just doesn’t make sense. However as I said before Brendan Fraser’s acting was magnificent. I’m just so sad that it took this long for him to get the accolades he deserves.

2. Heartbreakingly beautiful - This movie is a tearjerker. Some of the characters and the way they behave may even make you feel angry towards them, but that’s exactly how they would act in real life and their feelings are all justified. Brendan Fraser gives an amazing performance, as well as the rest of the cast. He definitely deserved the Oscar that he won for this film.

3. This is a film for the darkest moments we’re all afraid to see. - Brendan Fraser (and a strong cast) puts his soul into the body of a lost man whose profound unhappiness manifests in food addiction, and selective isolation. He shares the moments without a desire to fix anything but the path forward for his estranged daughter. He rejects redemption from a society that he has long since been a part of and asks the viewer to suffer with our own questions, doubts and insecurities right along with him. This is a difficult story that people should see. It is difficult to watch. Fraser’s character Charlie wants to believe in others though he has given up on himself. The Oscar performance is in showing us a story of those we choose not to see, when we lose value in ourselves, and perhaps inspiring those we cannot give up on. Fraser strives to find dignity and understanding and hope in humanity. May the film inspire those who are lost or in self-isolation and those who love them.

4. NO POINT MADE IN THIS MOVIE...Not what I expected - I read all the great reviews, and listened to all the hype-- if I had of known before what I know now; I would not have rented this movie. He did NOT make a transformation for this part ( as many actors have & do), he used fat "suit" & make-up to look obese. What is everybody so wowed by- the part where he eats like a KLUMP at a buffet, but with zero table manners, or that he is making clear that he is set on killing himself by eating himself to death! It could have had some drama if they would have built more on his relationships, but for me; it was a hit and miss because it jumped from one thing to another. I don't care what people say; this was totally unrealistic. Wish I could rewind my choice; I would have watched something else!!!

5. Absolute garbage - Spare yourself this wrong-headed attempt at “empathy”. Fraser is doing his best but this character and the entire film is so poorly written, there’s only so much that can be done. Hong Chao is great as always, while everyone else (especially Sadie Sink and Samantha Morton) give absolutely TERRIBLE performances.
2023-03-17

6. Loved The Film-Hated The Quality - I really have nothing bad to say about the film. But I have plenty to say to iTunes. Twenty bucks for a standard screen copy? Seriously? Not to mention, the whole film was dark and grainy. There were a few scenes where we were to read a piece of paper or view his computer screen. Not!! I saw nothing but blurry letters that could not be read. There is nothing wrong with my home theater. I have ’s of films to choose from. And not one is like this. Stay far away until we get a true widescreen image in true HD.

7. The movie that says being fat is ok - When you see movies where gives you motivation to act, to work, to be the best, there is other movies where the only intention is, you can be fat it is ok, you can be on antidepressants, just cover your insecurities, do not try to be better on you health, that what this movie was all about it.
2023-03-16

8. If you've ever been REALLY fat - if you've ever been really fat this movie will hit home. Its hard for those outside that to understand. its not a perfect movie but it has a lot to offer of you're patient and really try to understand and put yourself in Charlie's shoes. Its haunting yet hopeful but I get it its not for everyone.

1. Even the most angry can find happiness from dedicated friendship - First let me say I enjoy the characters that Tom Hanks plays, so I’m a bit jaded. I did not read the book so I watched with no real knowledge of the story. The role of Otto unfolded as one might expect for this character, but the addition of a new neighbor could have gone a variety of ways. However the tenacious nature of her kindness wins out, and that was refreshing given Otto’s determination to leave this world. The power of love and kindness prevails throughout and the good feelings this movie leaves you with hits the mark for leaving the theater satisfied. While suicide should never be taken lightly, ever, Otto’s attempts were amusing enough to keep the movie in the light rather than the darkness that is so prevalent with thoughts of suicide. His grief is eventually replaced with purpose, and again keeps the movie in the light. The soundtrack was extremely important to conveying the scene’s meanings. I liked it so much, that I’m listening to it as I write this. I have read some of the comments about this movie, and while I may not agree with them, I respect their views and opinions. For me I was entertained, found some new music, was reminded it takes work to be a good neighbor, and lastly Tom Hanks and his lovely wife Rita delivered. Thank you!

2. Amazing movie, Tom did it again - Absolute great movie, good mix of humor and seriousness. Anyone whining about “woke agenda”, go practice falling down in traffic. How dare they make a movie with plot points relevant to the times… Anyone who solely focuses on that “woke” junk probably has bedded their sister at some point.
2023-03-19

3. Imagine hating people simply for existing - All the poor reviews are left by the Nations trainers who raided the Capital. Stop hating people simply for existing. Stop worrying about other peoples lives if their lifestyle/way of living if it is not directly negatively impacting your own. It’s okay to breathe, I can’t imagine waking up every morning and being filled with so much hate. If you wanna run it @smallhandskev is my IG. Since you don’t have a job
2023-03-19

4. Another deceive movie - The plot of the movie could be good if was not use to push the woke prejudiced agenda and global warming again, and against white men, black men, Hispanic men and immigrants, with good like able actors, what shame now director and writers have to comply with the new rules of Hollywood to make movies so they can stay in relevant

1. Morgan Freeman at his best-- this is my fav! Nice shock! - WoW, I am just blown away by this movie, it was even better than I expected. Freeman's one of my fav actors, but I feel he does not get as many of the worthy scripts he deserves. I was so pleased with this movie, and adding Cole Hauser to the mix sure was pleasing to me also. Without dropping any spoiler; I just want to say that it was EXCELLENT to be shocked by an ending, loved it!!!
2023-03-19

2. Good - For fans of Morgan Freeman and Yellowstone’s Cole Hauser, it’s worth the watch. A bit Seven, DaVinci Code (with regard to ritual practices), and western (cowboy justice) all rolled together. I would give it five stars had the plot and characters developed a bit more. The initial scenes of Freeman are important. I only wish it would have incorporated more of that. However, then it might have seemed too much like a Seven ripoff. Otherwise, it’s a worthwhile thriller that highlights differences in culture from a bit of a gruesome, morbid sociological and anthropological point of view.

1. Good reminder! Great movie! - We so enjoyed this movie. It was great to learn about Jesse, and was such an important reminder of a war that was fought that many of us don’t think much about. We need more stories like this to remind us of the tragedy that war causes for those that are fighting, as well as those that are at home.
2023-02-25

2. Good movie, all too "convenient" timing. - The execution is good, solid story. Like it wants to throw back to the greats like Saving Private Ryan. Then there's the 'buts'. It's rather convenient that the timing of the overarcing message is , once again, so called white oppressors and 'black' struggle finding allies that will sympathize. yes, it's a "true story" (extra quote unquotes) but where is the movie about the Americans who weren't African American fighting to abolish such behavior, as the Democrats who still deny their own history and standing at the school house with fire hoses. This isn't ONLY a true story, but another trend of telling history through one very narrow lense like a horse with blinders on. It's the mixing of the ever so subtle propagnda that I find disgusting, and that has to do with the intent to exploit it and cash in that has become clear in many movies following this trend for anyone paying attention to it. God bless the man who lived the real version, but this doesn't do the kind of justice and respect I think is due, and the product has been cheapened because of it.

3. Glad I rented. - Most of the action is in the previews. First hour is very slow. Eventually, I skipped a part of second half to get to the planes combat footage. Midway was so much better than this waste of time. Naturally, rotten tomatoes gives it a high score and because of this, it has a good chance of winning best movie award.

4. Great movie about a Great Pilot - As someone who has served in the Navy, I was blown away at how great this movie was! It was well done and everything looked authentic! The cinematography was great! I am surprised that I had never heard this story before! I wished that I had! I was certainly very happy that I bought it and wasn’t disappointed at all! I do recommend this to all those that have served! To those that wrote negative reviews about this film: It wasn’t just about racism, it was about two pilots becoming friends and about a husband and wife’s love for each other!
2023-01-10

5. It’s not a bad movie, but it’s not a good movie either - I read the book that the film was based on a week prior to the film’s release. I had high expectations that certain parts of the book would have been mentioned in the film. However only a few was mentioned, to almost none at all. I understand not everything from a book can be put into a film, but I believe that certain parts of the book could have given the viewers a better understanding of why it was put in or connect with the narrative better. But as the saying goes if a movie is based off a book, “The book is better than the movie.” Other than that, action scenes were decent for a war film; the relationship between the main characters were ok… Will I watch it again? Not really, but I’m willing to give the film another chance.

6. One of the best adaptations of real events! - This is possibly the most beautifully shot and written movie of the year especially with the Skyraider scenes. The acting performances from Jonathan Majors and Glen Powell are absolutely phenomenal and will leave you clinging on every word. This is a truly fantastic adaptation from Adam Makos book based on the real life events.
2022-11-30

7. NAVAL AVIATION HISTORY - Dear America… This true story epic film; based on the book “DEVOTION”, by Adam Makos can be described in one word: SACRED. It is the story of the First African-American Naval Aviator, Ensign Jesse Leroy Brown, U.S.N. and the relationship that is created with his devoted friend and fellow squadron (VF-) mate, Captain Thomas Jerome Hudner Jr., U.S.N. (Ret.). The film captures every emotion and draws in the viewer to a different time during the first year of the Korean War - . With the very limited use of CGI or special digital effects; the film incorporates the use of actual airworthy military aircraft of the era. Six Corsairs, one Bearcat, one Skyraider, an early design HOS- helicopter, and even a jet-powered MiG-. The aerial cinematography is truly amazing and very impressive. The true essence of the story definitely comes alive on the Big Screen. You will not be disappointed; but will be extremely overwhelmed by the immense human emotional drama unfolding before your eyes. This is the film that epitomizes the word “brotherhood”. A group of young men placed in war; working together as one. “DEVOTION”… a tale of U.S. Naval Aviators fighting for each other’s survival; as well as their Duty, Honor, and Commitment to their country in time of war. May God Bless All of those who have served our Nation in the past, present, and in the future. They are the REAL heroes… we all thank them for their service.

1. Loved This Movie, Saw It With My Mom In Theaters - Last month, I saw “Missing” with my mom in theaters. We both loved the movie because of how good it was & how Junebug refused to stop looking for her mother. The moral of this story was especially good because the lesson that rebellious children should learn before it’s too late is that they should appreciate their parents for what they sacrifice for them, especially when they don’t know if either their mother or father was abusive towards the other. It made me appreciate that I still have my parents to love me no matter what. In short, I love “Missing”.

2. An amazing movie that was unexpectedly good - I didn’t know what to expect for this love and thought it was just another “missing” movie but, it was so much more with unexpected twists and turn that kept you on the edge of the seat. If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favor preorder it. It’s well worth the price and a great thriller.

1. -Stars - I consider myself to be a bit of a cinemaphile and I wholly place this film in top tier categories. It’s an incredible story! The scenes, the emotions, light hearted moments, grief, joy, you really feel it all. And it comes together so well. Totally worth a watch and definitely worth a buy.
2023-03-22

2. Honor to All Firefighters - Extremely tragic event that negatively impacted many lives. Prayers to the families and friends of the fallen heroes. As a former firefighter for USFS and CDF, memories of many fires raging like living beasts flooded my mind as I watched this film. I was lucky to have never been placed in such a situation as a standard ground crew member (not a hotshot). The hotshot crews are hands down the best of the best, and I give respect to them all.

3. True to the Tale - Watched the real life events unfold here in Arizona and this movie brought it all back. This movie is inspired off of Brendan McDonough’s book and real life testament of the events that lead up to and took place on June , . Overall, this movie held true to the story and its characters. The emotion is unreal in this movie. I cried all the way through the last minutes.
2020-02-20

4. The best ever. - Such a great movie! I can’t emphasize that enough. This movie truly captivates the culture of firefighters in America. Past attempts on films involving firefighter culture were a failure. Have seen this movie times now and just as good as the first time. My father and I watched this together and he loved it also. Thanks!

5. A movie about bonding created by danger - I never write movie reviews, but as a retired military member I had to write about this one. It seemed so familiar, the time away from family, the antics between your group, the danger always present made aware by the constant training reminding you that your life could be gone before you want it to be, but someone has to do the job, and that someone includes you. This movie never feels made up for entertainment purposes, it seems like you are constantly relating with the group, even when they are at home dealing with family issues. This movie honors firefighters in a way that runs deeper than / even though the respect is the same. I watched this movie three times now, each time having to gather myself together at the end. Many experiences by military, police, EMT's, firefighters and others are hard enough to get through alive, then you have memories that are both haunting yet prideful, but it doesn't feel like pride, more like survival. You will retire with a black hole that needs to be filled, or you will die during the journey. I felt like driving to that Juniper tree and paying my respects. This is a truly well put together movie that will leave you emotionally attached to these hero's that you never knew, but have a world of respect for, whether you have experienced this type of life threatening work or not. I truly recommend you see this movie.

6. Just okay - I don’t see why this movie is getting such great reviews. Maybe my hopes were way too high. I think it would’ve been better if it had better dialog and better actors. Miles Teller is great and, of course, Jeff Bridges is great, but Jennifer Connelly couldn’t act her way out of a paper bag. She needs to quit sauntering around like she’s years old and has a sexy body. She’s pretty, but not sexy in any way. Josh Brolin is just plain annoying always. I dont know how he’s related to James, who’s awesome. I was % bored most of the time.

7. ONLY THE BRAVE - IT WAS GOOD MOVIE I THINK IT SHOULD BE SHOWN IN EVER RHEAB IN USA , I RECENTLY HAD A OPERATION AFTER BEING OFF OPIATES FOR / yrs and now having a hard time getting of them , i didnt want operation but doc pushed opiates on me after i told him who i was ,, i am so sick of hollywood alt left globalist propaganda movies but this was a excellent movie stars RIP INDIAN JOHN T MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT TECUCHMCE PLZZ
2018-02-18

8. Slow plot and too long - The concept for this film was good, but it just carry me along. Too many subplots that had little point except to attempt to develop characters, but in the end I didn’t find any of them compelling. I had to just turn the film off after about hour and minutes. Just couldn’t take anymore.

1. Best movie ever! - Who is with me, when I say that it’s possible to do yet another sequel of Top Gun with Tom Cruise coming out of retirement to once again grace the military skies with a new aviation based movie. No cheese of course! Just another well done sequel to keep it all going! I’m a pilot so one must take that into consideration. The story line is excellent. If you liked the first Top Gun, you will love this next version %. A for pure entertainment value.
2023-02-22

2. Low Gun - Ultra stupid movie. He climbs out a window when his GF's daughter gets home. His motorcycle is parked out front. They have a grand plan and we're told it includes two miracles to work. That's not a plan. That's how a meth-adict does things, and always fails. And (spoiler alert) two pilots get shot down behind enemy lines in the forested mountains, find each other in -seconds, both uninjured, uncpatured, and undead. How do they escape? They just go get another plane. It's nothing really. Bullet Train is way better, knows it's just silly fun, and it's even unintentionally slightly more plausible.
2023-02-04

3. Top Gun Jr High - These adult pilots act and hold grudges like it’s jr high school. Old storylines for kids who didn’t see this when the original came out. I haven’t seen the end but can already tell Maverick will either save the life of Goose’s son or sacrifice himself to save him, which would make him square with Goose son. We could launch a thousand tomahawk middles that would overwhelm the air defense against this ‘’ unknown’’ enemy country( laughable). Must be a lot of young kids liking this movie or old adults who love nostalgia of the s. They just do happen to have a f- plane…fully filled sitting there. Too convenient/easy
2023-01-30

4. Dreadful - I'm not sure this was worth $.. Hard to tell which was worse... the acting, the script, or just the acting and the script. I think Tom Cruise is made of plastic and his "acting" if you can call it that is embarrassing. I felt so bad for Jennifer Connelly having to kiss a mannequin. And what''s with that body and face of his? Sponsored by Monsanto methinks. Awful awful awful. Pray for cleansing fire.

5. Impressive. I was not expecting much from this… - I really went into this skeptical that all the hype would be worth the watch. I had a chance to stream it free on the network app with the fancy bird as its mascot ;) I was actually shocked that I liked this movie so much. I will say this next part and probably get judged by you quietly in your heads: I hated the original Top Gun. Yeah, I said it. Absolutely never could sit still long enough to even finish the movie. I felt the film was undeserving of the fanatical following and quoting of that movie. That being said, this movie is the one I would recommend for those who maybe felt the same about the original as I, whether you tried to watch or not- just ignore it and watch this one. It will literally fill you in on what you need to know going into this film through little bits hear and there in this movie. Even the really quotable line from the original… you heard the line. We all heard it before many times. The fun backstory on the secret experimental jet in the beginning is that they had to build a full scale replica at the airfield, mock-up only, made of wood and paint. Foreign governments were trying to retask satellites to get a glimpse of it. Because in the film world, if you practical effects look so good people want to steal it, replicate it, or actually see it as a threat to National security- then you know you did your job well and wish it had more screen time. The movie overall is a good pace. It never felt like it dragged on too far when they were on the ground not doing pilot stuff. The action in the air is so good. It is so realistic and drops you into the cockpit. The freakin’ views are amazing, especially running through the start of the main mission. I am not a fan of Tom Cruise as much as I am a fan of the movies he happens to be in with other actors, but this is a pretty good movie with him in it and the cast, new and returning, was well picked.
2023-01-10

6. It’s ok, but way way overrated - This was a decent movie, that’s it. The first top gun,however, was on another level. The weakness here was the story and casting. The flying scenes were awesome. The score was there. The movie looked great visually. Tom Cruise himself as good. But holy cow is this is over-hyped. There are too many positive reviews. Did the scientology army help? Smells fishy with all the hype surrounding this. This movie IS NOT what is all hyped up to be, period.

8. Spot on - Congratulations, first time since Alvin and the chipmunks I have seen a movie with a sequel as good as this one. I’m very critical of movies that get to corny or are predictable but this one passes with flying colors (No pun intended). You will really get a taste of all the emotions in this one, and does not dwell on one for too long or characterize it into oblivion. Truly a job well done and (don’t tell Apple) I would’ve spent more for the experience not that bucks is cheep for a renting. I hope you enjoy it as much at I did, no matter what your views on politics these days you’ll be tearing up and bleeding red white and blue until you go for your next Twitter hit :). Love to all the Vets out there I know this hits home for some of you, God Bless the USA and everyone that resides within her freedom loving borders, / an ACE for TopGun Maverick!!!

1. Friends are friends forever - Overall pretty good movie it’s really a budding road trip movie with older ladies and the Super Bowl ad a back drop it was great ti see Brady in this as well as gronk! The review that said it was trash most likely didn’t see the movie but rather a hater of the Patriots so you can not take their word ot was not as funny as it could’ve bee but still was funny enough though I think the moral of not giving up on life because of your age abs to value the life long friendships you have is more of this movie is about

1. PURE DRECK. - I wish I hadn't wasted my time watching this schmaltz. Every scene drips with "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO THINK THIS IS CUTE BECAUSE IT'S SPIELBERG" - everyone - especially DP Janusz Kaminski, and, Michelle Williams phones this in. Cinematography was boring, Michelle's performance simply made no sense (does she belong in a psych ward in the middle of this Norman Rochwell painting or is this trying to be cute?). Paul Dano could have been replaced by a stuffed bear for the same compelling performance. Seth Rogan is distractingly obnoxious as usual as the best friend having an affair with the wife (roll eyes). The kids all squeal on cue hoping to have their Drew Barrymore moment. Then you have to suffer through a cameo by Judd Hirsch in a tank top. Just pure garbage that wouldn't have gotten any award nom's if Spielberg's name wasn't on it. Do not waste your time - I wish I hadn't.
2023-02-21

2. Flat, like the s - After reading so many rave reviews perhaps my expectations were too high or perhaps because I recently viewed The Menu, Tár, Banchees of Inisherin, In Bruges, Seven Psychopaths… The Fablemans was flat, predictable…. Michelle Williams was great, but judd Hirsch, as Uncle Boris, stole the show even with his brief role, which tells you, and me, I wanted something more quirky. /
2023-02-20

3. Boring Art house movie - Long and boring art house movie. Some strange scenes with the mother such as dancing in front of car headlights in a see thru dress for an extended period of time. The mother character overall is very cooky. This is a Spielberg art house pet movie project about himself. This is meant for film students and those obsessed with Spielberg. It is not a film for the masses.
2022-12-29

4. A Beautiful Film - The Fablemans moved me to tears. It is such a beautiful and personal story. I felt like I could relate to the characters. The struggles they go through and the stories they charge were all so realistic, heartwarming, and heartbreaking all at the same time. The movie tackles a lot of themes and does it so well, making it feel realistic in that nothing ends perfectly but there is always that bit of hope. This is a top-tier Spielberg movie. I love that he was able to look back on his own life with sincerity but also some humor and an understanding that no one is perfect but everyone has a story to tell.
2022-12-23

5. Wonderful Film - I took my father who’s to see this in the theatre and we both really enjoyed it. I’m buying it so we can watch it again. Hopefully there will be more slice of life movies like this out of Mr. Spielberg as this was one of his best films. The cast and performances were all excellent.
2022-12-19

6. Choices Others Make - A reminder that when an artist examines his/her own life, the story can get muddied by revisiting emotional experiences. The narrator here had no distance from the most upsetting parts of the story. There were confusings behaviors, (paper plates/plastic forks), that went unexplained until later. It was a personal & sensitive film cast with fine actors, but not ones who conveyed much warmth. The truly fascinating storyline concerned the young filmmaker learning his craft, yet the movie dwelled on the stressful family dynamics. It touched on so many themes: How divorce & secrets burden children, becoming an artist, anti-semitism, how film can change lives, why we have to question our beliefs, the desire to please, & individual selfishness, all big ideas that the ending didn't satisfy.
2022-12-18

7. One of the year’s best films - Steven Spielberg has done it again with a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story loosely based on his adolescence. In it, we witness year old Sammy Fabelman (played by a perfectly cast Gabriel LaBelle in a performance that will define his career) navigate his way through many challenges some of us may have faced in our lives, such as parental divorce, school bullying, among other things, in order to achieve his goal of becoming a filmmaker. Gabriel’s portrayal of the character shows raw emotion that makes you end up relating to and sympathizing with him through many of the scenes he’s in, and yep, you bet Sammy rules in the parts where he is filming with his camera and making his movies. This story, brought to life through a screenplay co-written by Spielberg and Tony Kushner, literally speaks to you and resonates with anyone of any age who aspires to be an artist in any field. The rest of the performances are terrific, with Michelle Williams as Sammy's mother Mitzi being a major standout, same with Paul Dano as Sammy's father Burt, and Judd Hirsch, who gives a memorable monologue as Sammy's great uncle Boris. These performances deserve tons of award nominations. The cinematography is beautiful, as we can all expect from the great Janusz Kaminski. John Williams' score, while a bit more subdued and minimalist this time due to it being mostly driven by piano, suits the film's uplifting tone, no matter what people think of it. The pacing at times can feel slow or fast, but that does not matter, as in the end, we must always trust Spielberg to give us such a powerful and uplifting story we all need right now. Highly reccomended.
2022-12-15

8. Spielberg Strikes A Home Run - Not the biggest Spielberg fan. Fell asleep watching West Side Story, Close Encounters and E.T., but Fabelmans surprised and delighted me with its likable family, distinct personalities and swift storytelling. Beautiful comprehensive intimate family/coming of age film and never a dull moment (and I was anticipating this). Modern American cinema at its finest. Steven’s cool in my book now. Grade:

1. Childhood - This movie is one of a kind and always will be. It’s original, it’s heartwarming, and it brings you back to a simpler time of being a child. When I watch I remember the days I spent as a kid running around my neighborhood thinking my friends and I ran that block and our city. Nothing but respect for one of the classics which is this.

2. wow - just saw this and holy mercy it is the best baseball movie ever. for those watching with younger kids, there is some language. for writing geeks, it does not have a well developed storyline (meaning, it didn't really follow the rules of the whole rising action, climax, falling action thing). but! that can be ignored. i didn't notice it till afterwards. the humor and suspense covers all that up tho. SPOILER the parts with the most suspense always turn out happy, so younger kids won't have something to scar their little eyes forever. i will say, though the writers didn't follow the regular story-writing path, they did a very good job of balancing everything out. there's a little bit of everything in this movie. literally amazing. i cannot stop raving about this.

3. A REAL CLASSIC! - If you're extra fortunate, you'll have the opportunity to experience something so rare, like Halley's Commet or Larry Bird (from the tiny town of French Lick, Indiana), I am here to tell you that "The Sandlot" is one of those rarities where everything just fits together "perfectly". The Sandlot is not only a Homerun, it is without a doubt, a "GRANDSLAM" for generations to come.

4. Fantastic family comedy - A great movie about a group of kids who come together for their love of a favorite outdoor pastime for many children. A fantastic job is made of taking you back to that pastime and setting the stage for what will become a story to share (and is shared) for years to come. The nervousness of being a new kid in the neighborhood and the fun that is made in making the newcomer ‘feel welcome’ and part of this little misfit family, the solidarity that is formed in resolving the issue that comes from inexperience and resulting lifelong connections are all on display in a plain and obvious and simple format for all to love. No character building! The characters are introduced and their wonderful little individuality and quirks are readily on display and loved. Most anyone can relate here. This movie shows the disconnect between ‘critics’ and real movie watchers. Critics are movie ‘snobs’ who are invested in making sure that other snobs don’t chide them for properly reviewing a movie. No account is taken when thinking of the middle-of-America average movie watcher.

5. THIS WILL BE THE BEST MOVIE...FOREVER!!! - I LOVED this movie. I wasn't alive when it came out, but my parents were watching it one night so I decided to watch it too, and it has been my favorite movie of all time ever since. I'm so glad they have this on iTunes, watching it on YouTube isn't the same, the quality is terrible on YouTube. TheSandlot Smalls BennyTheJetRodriguez YeahYeah Squints Kenny Ham Bertrum Timmy Tommy Beast. LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!

6. Greatest movie of all time!!!! - I would watch this movie every day if I could. It is an amazing classic. I'm a huge baseball fan, and this movie makes me love it even more. I love the whole theme of the movie. Squints and Ham have got to be my favorite characters, not that Benny's not awesome or anything, it's just those two made me laugh Forever!!!

7. One of the greatest family/comedy sports movie - I personally love the sandlot. The sandlot is such a hilarious funny movie of all time. I used to watch it a lot when I was a very little baby. I have so many memories about the sandlot. There is a lot of great memorable moments in the film you can ever imagine. Tom guiry, Mike vitar, Patrick renna, Brandon Adams, victor diamatta, and James earl jones were so amazing in the movie. Everyone of the kids were absolutely young because they were kids. I think Mike vitar was probably years old in the sandlot in . Tom guiry was probably or years old. There is such a true heartwarming story about a boy named Scotty smalls who moves to the neighborhood and he wants to make some friends by playing baseball at the sandlot and of course there's this big dog at the neighbors house and they think it's a beast. The sandlot is such a true sports classic.

1. Exaggerated but not by much - I made it all the way up to Creative Director but not after repeated positions along the way where my fortunes were impacted by shallow trend freaks and fake experts. This film is definitely over the top but close enough to reality to spark unhappy memories. Overall a good film. Veterans of the creative side of marketing will see a lot of familiar stuff here.

2. Legendary Assemble ! - Got this movie on sale , and is definately worth it ! I still remember in this movie is where a little lady by the name of Emily Blunt caught my attention with her first scene ! I think this is also my first encounter with the beast that is Meryl Streep , my god she is really grew into the character ! Andy "Hathaway" was just being herself , dont see to much differences from Princess Diaries , from under dog to top dog movie . Anyway in conclusion this movie is great ! Love it ! Love It ! Love It !

3. BEST MOVIE EVER - This is my favorite movie of all time. I've watched it .... I dunno... times. It does not get old. Regardless if you are into fashion or not, male or female, this movie is for everyone. It's about coming of age and the choices that define us. There will be some good laughs, quotable lines and maybe a tear or two.
2017-09-18

4. Excellent! - This isn't my typical movie that I would normally watch; but, it is fun and highly entertaining. Very watchable, and man if Hathaway isn't cute enough. This girl is fine, and funny. Streep plays her part in a very cold, determined way; very manhattanite elite. Can't go wrong with this one.
2015-07-30

5. Streep shines!!! - I just downloaded this movie. The HD version is crystal clear and just stunning!!! We hardly get HD review on here, so well this one of them. In sort the HD movie is just breathtaking on my iPad . No disappointments here. iTunes keep the HD movies coming AND widescreen (where available)! "That's all"…...

1. Intense - This film examines the quandry of women leaving an abusive house, writ large, an abusive system that they can no longer endure. I think this may be boring if you are some men, but to women this is something we think about all the time. My husband also thought the movie was intense. To people who think and are interested in how other people resolve such huge a issues as to how to deal with a society that abuses its power, it's fascinating, wrenching, and heartbreaking. Definitely, worth your time and attention. This was well done.

1. Great short story overinflated - If you ever wondered why the ideas of the brilliant writer William Gibson had to come to us by way of other storytellers, this movie is a lot of the reason why. Stiff and stilted performances, inappropriate casting decisions and a screenplay that seems to emphasize attitude over coherence... The man writes such great books. His movie, though, was simply not so great.
2015-11-10

2. Don't let the negative reviews fool you! - Don't let the negative reviews fool you, this is a great flick, especially if you are into the sci-fi dystopian future genre. In fact, the Matrix () simply could not have been produced without the existence of Johnny Mnemonic () (or the iphone). There are definitely influences from earlier sci-fi films, most noteably the city-scape of Blade Runner () and the influence of virtual reality in Lawnmower Man (). This movie is absolutely worth watching!
2011-11-05

3. Go read the story... - How bad is this movie? So bad that you will get a better bang for your buck if you buy the book of short stories (Burning Chrome) and read the story and make your own movie in your head. If I could give it less then I would. Really, Gibson's story did not make the leap to the big screen and as some one else has pointed out, it is dated in many ways (although reading the story is less so). Once you have read Johnny Mnemonic, read Burning Chrome. If after that you have not started digging around for Neuromancer, well, watching the movie won't help, but it sure will hurt.

4. Classic Sci-Fi; excellent in its time, didn't age well. - Like lots of early-to-mid 's Sci-Fi, this didn't age well. ( GB? That's it? For a movie that takes place years from now?) But the premise is thought-provoking, and the acting quite good. (One of Keanu's most expressive roles! Of course, that isn't saying much.) This is a classic of 's Sci-Fi; a must-watch for Sci-Fi lovers. It's definitely worth the rental. If you're NOT a Sci-Fi lover, though, it's probably best to avoid it. My star rating is targeted toward Sci-Fi fans. If you're not, make it one star. MAYBE worth this week's special rental, if you mildly like Sci-Fi; maybe not. Once the price goes back up, though; if you're not a big Sci-Fi nut, don't bother with it for more than $..

5. Johnny Mnemonic is a good movie - This movie is terrible, with the horrible acting and godawful s/fx there are few science fiction movies that are worse. Keanu Reeves is a terrible actor, but in this movie he makes Ice-t look good. It is directed by Robert Longo whom is an American painter and I think this is the only movie he ever did, it is not hard to tell why. Yet with all its flaws I love this movie, I am a fan of cyberpunk and this movie is chalk full of it. Also it is written by mr. cyberpunk himself William Gibson (a favorite author of mine), but the reason you should rent this movie is because it has none other that HENRY ROLLINS!!!! need I say more?
2008-11-09

6. To understand what you are watching... - For those that have not read the short story by William Gibson, allow me to fill in some blanks. It is stated that the main character of the story has had some of his memories removed. Because of this, he has lost some of his humanity (if you go with the theory that memories are part of what makes us human). That is portrayed in this movie, and why Keanu's character at times seems "robotic." In this future technology is so pervasive, the human body rejects it. The place people often turn to for help in a capitalist system is the marketplace. It seems incapable of helping. Then we find out why our reluctant hero is involved in the plot in the first place. This, and New Rose Hotel, both illustrate the dark cyberpunk corporate malfeasance that makes the genre intriguing.
2008-08-29

7. A 'classic' fav - I'm really surprised at the other reviews, this was easily my favorite Keanu movie until the first Matrix (though Bill & Ted were pretty close). It is not amazing, but it is a fun and unique story line. Futuristic technology was actually portrayed pretty well for the time in which it was made (d web interface aside), though nowadays I'm sure he'd be smuggling terabytes(petabytes?) of data.
2008-08-24

8. Entertaining Sci-fi - Why is it the only review for this movie is a person whose doesn't like Matrix? Albeit, this isn't a fantastic piece of science fiction BUT it can be enjoyed for what it is. Story is a bit kooky (like the super dolphin) but the pinball version of this movie rocked! Back in the day, people who like Sci-Fi weren't given much of a genre so when something came out that was decent, it was worth watching, which makes this a cult classic in my book.

1. Content not available? - I’ve bought hundreds of movies through iTunes. This is the first and only movie I bought that has told me the content is not available… this type of movie is not currently compatible on your device. To play, try using an apple device. Is this a start to a new thing where we will only be able to watch videos on apple devices? I have way too much invested to not be able to watch on my fire stick or anything else I want to watch it on. What gives?

2. Not Available on Certain Devices - I purchased this move here on iTunes, but when I tried to watch it in the AppleTV app, it said “this type of content is not currently compatible on your device.” I have an LG TV so I can’t watch this movie. If you don’t have an Apple TV you might not be able to watch it.

3. Creepy, horrific, courtroom drama it never disappoints - The Devil's Advocate may be the werdiest most haunting courtroom dramas i have seen in a while but what really makes this film stand out is the outstanding performences by Keanu Reeves as Kevin Lomax and Al Pacino as the mysterious John Miltion. Advocate is the best courtroom drama i have ever seen it's brutal, well-written, wonderfully acted and directed and trust me! you won't be bored.
2020-07-08

4. Eh - The concept of the movie is really well done, for the most part. I thought that the last minutes were not good. This part should have been a movie itself. It was shaky at best. Keanu Reeves was weak the whole time in this flick. The other actors and actresses were really polished and professional. I'd like to see this remade by a better movie label. The next time, I'd hope they cast better.
2018-08-25

5. Frighteningly Good - I gave this an extra star because it feels like this could have actually happened recently. The acting here is superb and the story is devilishly good. The worst part is that evil does seem to have a grip on this world. Just look up "Swiss Tunnel Opening" to see the EU elite in a satanic ritual.
2018-06-10

6. Camera - I really enjoyed this movie, it is very original and rewarding. Al Pacino is the reason you are going to like this movie; Keanu Reeves is why you're going to hate it. It has a really good story. Rent it, and if you like it, buy it. (Watch the scene when Keanu Reeves is walking down an "empty" steet, you'll see the shadow of the camera followin him)
2012-11-19

7. Pacino steals the show - I was surprised at how much I actually enjoyed this movie. Pacino is great and he's clearly having a ball as he chews all the scenery in sight. Charlize Theron's descent throughout the course of the movie is chilling to watch, particularly the scene of her in the church. Reeves himself is not all that bad, although I really wish someone would have taken him aside during filming and told him to stop using such a terrible accent.
2012-10-29

8. AWESOME INCREDIBLE OUTSTANDING !!!!!!!!!!! - VANITY MY FAVORITE SIN ,AS AL PACINO SO ELOQUENTLY PUTS IT. PLAYING SATIN "DECEIVER AND THEIF". AL PACINO IS SO INCREDIBLY GIFTED ,HIS PORTRALL OF THE DEVIL WAS RIGHT ON. THE POSSETION OF CHARLIZE THERON WAS RIVITING ,SHE TO AS WELL IS A VERY GIFTED ACTOR. THERE ARE MANY LIFE LESSONS IN THIS OUTSTANDING MOVIE. ONE FOR ME STANDS OUT VERY CLEAR .EVERYONE OF US HAS GIFTS FROM GOD ,USE THOSE GIFTS TO HELP OTHERS REMEMBERING NOT TO LET VANITY GET IN YOUR WAY , IT WILL HINDER THE GIFTS GOD HAS GIVEN TO YOU. REMEMBER ALSO WHY WATCHING THIS MASTERPIECE. DON'T LET YOUR FLESHLY DESIRES OVER TAKE YOU, THAT IS WHEN WE ARE AT ARE WEAKEST , WALK IN THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD . AND HE WILL GIVE YOU STRENGTH TO CONQUER THE FLESH.

1. Good Fun - I’m what you’d call a “film snob”. I typically don’t get into these types of movies, but this thing works. Ritchie borrows/steals/pays homage from/to everything from Jaws (dialogue), Pale Rider (protagonist/Preacher), Usual Suspects (protagonist/Söze) and everything Leone and Tarantino have ever done while adding his own unique flair for what amounts to an absolutely wild ride of a movie showcasing some surprisingly startling acting. I was thoroughly entertained and often guffawed over some of the crazier scenes. Good enough for a rewatch.
2022-07-17

2. Lighting too dark - Light helps us tell what’s going on. Maybe I am deficient in vitamin A for night vision. I need lights to help me see. Jason Statham is okay. There is suspense and twists so the ending is exciting. The lights are so dark and it reminds me of the movie Selma about Martin Luther King Jr. In “Selma,” the lighting was also too dark. In Wrath of Man the music is violins and pretty unsophisticated. It portrays combat veterans as criminals. While robbery movies are dark and strictly described greed as a motive. There are elements of John Wick: the immaterial and vengeance over mere money. Even criminals have value systems like loyalty or protecting children and women.
2022-01-07

3. Another Ritchie-Statham Banger - Solid all around- plot & action. The way the timeline is presented keeps u engaged the whole time so it never feels like it’s losing steam. I feel almost guilty for only paying $ to rent it- could’ve been one of those $. flicks and still not a waste! Wish I would’ve just bought it now….probably wait for it to drop $ and do just that. This is a movie you worth putting in rotation- solid!!!!
2022-01-01

4. A bad Jason movie - Normally I like the movies Jason is in, but this has to be his worse movie yet. The previews looked good, but it’s a really bad movie. I took a long nap. I knew there wasn’t much of a plot, so I didn’t miss anything. If you really want to watch this movie, then stream it for free. I’m sure you will turn it off after an hour and not waste any money.
2021-12-23

5. Guy Ritchie fails at making a Taylor Sheridan flick... - I can only imagine the process. Guy Ritchie watches Sicario and says to himself, "Yeah... I could make that bloody film." So he sets out by stealing the screenplay of a French film. Then he steals the soundtrack to Siccario, and copies the arial views and slow panning camera work. And for a second it almost works. Except this is Guy Ritchie. So of course he has to ramp up the terrible dialogue, makes it oversaturated and boring, and then layers up the timeline with a twist ending. I haven't seen a movie this terrible since I watched The Gentlement. Talk about a cash grab, Guy Ritchie lucked out with Snatch and Two Smoking Barrels, and now he's his own worst enemy. HARD PASS ON THIS FILM. Hack.
2021-09-17

6. Far Too Violent - This is a TERRIBLE movie it was so violent I could not even finish and NOT appropriate any audience. I really love Jason but he is so dull and stiff acting like he wasn't even there. However, Redemption is a truly great movie and he was also great in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels a really great movie - the poker players scene is a classic, the father-son team and the x toys dude so funny and many others. If in a theatre I would have walked out !
2021-09-01

7. Personification of sex. - This is not hyperbole. Like sex with your old lady, you have seen it, done it before and know how it will end. But it doesn’t mean you won’t enjoy it. It’s definitely worth the watch. What Mr. Ritchie has done here is taken the classic revenge story we know so well and described it in his own words. By no stretch of the imagination are we surprised by the ending, but the told story is compelling and attention getting; you want to watch cause you actually care about the characters. Bravo. Bravo my man.
2021-08-17

8. No One Talks Like This - Worst dialogue since The Room. Stupid plot, the main character’s revenge story has no weight because he hilariously can’t even admit his own fault in what happened. Action sequences are cool, but nowhere near the level they should be. The bar that’s been set by films like John Wick makes these half-baked shoot-em-ups a bore.

1. Unexpectedly Surprised - As soon as I saw this movie I knew I had to watch it. Actually, I mostly wanted to watch it just because Tobey Maguire is one of my favorite actors and I saw he was in it. I wasn’t expecting it to be that good, but it was actually quite funny and touching. It’s now one of my favorite movies.for being a movie, it was actually really good. Like the color in B&W with everything, it was seamless. This is a must-buy. And must-watch. /

2. One of the great stories of all time - What if you could move into a town untouched by the seven deadly sins? A town where every soul was as fresh as the morning dew, and perfection was simlpy taken for granted? First you'd learn that their exposure to the "outside" was strictly and completely limited, for to know history is to know the very things that steal your innocence. When the innocence starts to go, it snowballs into an avalanche of human nature, the stuff of religious sermons. Joy and desire. Guilt and shame. This is the "better world" of our collective memories, always set in someone's childhood, which never really existed, and never can exist. Its awakening to the world we actually live in is beautiful and emotionally moving. Pleasantville is what happens when we try to live in that magical past that we remember, but never really was. Just watch it.
2017-01-19

3. Pleasantville - Don't know whether this is a good movie or not. iTunes and Amazon have a monopoly and thus are overpriced for a single showing of this film. Where have all the video stores gone? Oh, iTunes and amazon blew them away with lower fees before they gained exorbitant market shares. Now they charge around $ a show. Welcome to the new world.
2015-09-17

4. One of the Best Films of the Last years! - A film that starts out as a light and cute Hollywood comedy evolves beautifully into a soul-searching examination of human expectations. The "Father Knows Best" world of a a s sitcom begins to unravel when a brother and sister from the late th century are pulled into the TV world and generate real emotions in the characters. This metamorphosis causes the black and white world to slowly turn to color. Those who fear change rise up to confront and squash the threat to their perfect world.
2013-07-09

5. Psychology review - The story tells the audience that if you want to feel emotion you can. You truely aren't limited to just hppiness; people can have different feelings and life is not perfect. From a Psychology point-of-view, the town was able to experience the change and freedom of emotions; and given a audience who doesn't know anything but perfectness; you would be able to change their thought process. Overall this movie does show a strong sense of richeousness in the sense that freedom is attainable by anyone or anything
2012-11-18

6. Decadent - Stylishly impressive, but with a poisonous message of decadence: freedom is equated with license, authenticity with selfishness, happiness with rebellion and self-indulgence. The film attempts to promote the changes to the idyllic town as a liberation, but it is an unwanted liberation. The townspeople were happy and moral before, and become corrupted and destructive after the introduction of modern amorality.
2012-03-23

7. Pleasant from beginning to end. - First time I saw this movie I couldn't get it out of my head. Whenever its on TV my decision is instantly made up on what to watch. If you have never seen this movie consider yourself incomplete. This movie is the perfect blend of comedy and drama that will keep your eyes open until the end...and then you will play it over again. This is absolutely undoubtedly a wise purchase.
2010-05-10

8. A Touching, Realistic Portrayl of the Perfect Life - As you watch the movie, you really get a clear glimpse on what society would be like if we were to all live in the perfect world, with the perfect life. It really shows you the reality of how life would truly be. There would be no emotion, sense of knowledge, or sadness. Quite frankly, it would be as boring as you could get. No excitement. Just the same routine day after day. Honestly, it is a great movie, as you really watch it.

1. Not even interesting - This movie was pitiful. Not in the least bit interesting. It felt like a Lifetime tv movie. It showed the facts but without real human emotion behind it. They laughed when it was time to laugh, smile when it was time to smile, cried when it was time to cry…but you didn’t FEEL those emotions. It is empty calories. It never really went deeper than the facts. Considering the talent she had, she deserves more than what this lack luster movie provided. It’s feels buying QVC Dominique fake diamonds but knowing you should have a Tiffany diamond. She deserves better.
2023-03-18

2. Never Saw It, But Heard It’s Better Than The Lifetime Movie About Her - Though I never saw “Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody” at the theaters, I’ve heard from person that said this movie about Whitney Houston is certainly better than the Lifetime movie about her. I can definitely agree because this movie actually got more things right about Whitney Houston’s life than wrong in comparison to the Lifetime movie. The thing that’s still being debated is how exactly Bobby Brown proposed to her, even in this movie. Naomi Ackie does an excellent job at portraying Whitney Houston well. In short, I love “Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody”.
2023-02-12

3. I loved Whitney Houston’s voice but this is meh - It’s disturbing that Hollywood needs to inject political race crap into every thing. Teaching people to see color is truly sad. I don’t believe anything from this film. But can’t deny that Whitney was amazing, always brings tears and makes me cry when I hear Whitney sing she was original she was unbelievably talented, she is missed. This gets stars because Whitney was an icon.
2023-02-12

4. Outstanding - true to life - The trajectory of this movie continues to climb even after it ends. You feel Whitney Houston and her music way after the movie ends. The performance by Naomi Ackie portraying Whitney Houston is like Whitney came to life thru Naomi. It takes you through the life of Whitney up til her untimely end. It is worth seeing and sharing to tell the life of someone who beat the record of the Beatles and Elvis. Amazing!!!
2023-02-10

5. More Than Just The Voice - Whitney Houston; I Wanna Dance With Somebody captures Whitney’s so essence extremely well that it feels more like watching behind-the-scenes footage of Whitney rather than watching a movie about her. The movie humanizes her as a whole person and not just an iconic pop star with The Voice of A Generation.
2023-02-08

6. Whatta Voice! Whatta Talent! - Saw this twice in theaters and would gladly watch it again! Award winning performances throughout: Naomi Ackie will blow you away with her Star making performance as Whitney. Tamara Tunis also deserves accolades as Cissy, Whit’s Mom, as does Stanley Tucci (Clive Davis) and Nafessa Williams (as Robyn Crawford)! Spectacular musical movie that will make you a bit sad that Whitney’s not here with us right now. But The Voice Lives On! Grade:
2023-02-07

7. The critics got it wrong. I guarantee you will enjoy this movie. - Just go to listen to the music and see Naomi Ackie do an amazing job portraying Whitney Houston. The supporting cast is great. The movie will make you laugh, cry, and leave you falling in love with Whitney Houston all over again. How I wish she was still around. PS. Can we get a feature concert film please??????
2023-02-06

8. How Real is the story here…..? - I was locked up in USP Atlanta with Clarence “Preacher” Headley, out of Harlem. He kidnapped Bobby Brown over some Coke, and Whitney paid the ransom of $,. Preacher was no joke. They say him and his crew, “The Black Hand” had close to bodies. They terrorized Harlem. I remember Preacher telling me that they were going to chop Bobby up into pieces if she didn’t pay that ransom. Whitney was a street chick for real. A real “Ride or Die” from Dirty Jersey…… I wonder if they’ll go into that?

1. An almost accurate synopsis - Many of the main bullet points that led to the crisis were accurate in the telling of the story, if not a little short sided. One of the conclusions that they came to in the end was that the crisis was completely fueled by the banking and lending institutions, and that when the dust settled, immigrants and poor people would get the blame for the melt down. One idiot reviewer on this thread even bemoaned it as a failure of capitalism. First of all, yes, the banking and lending institutions were at fault, but they weren’t the only ones. It should be considered bad policy for governments to allow regulators to create regulations that force banks to issue toxic mortgages to people who couldn’t afford them. In truth, there was plenty of blame to go around. Also, when that many monolithic institutions, with the aid of the Fed no less, rig the system to insulate themselves from problems and make the public pay for it, that IS NOT capitalism. It is antithetical to capitalism and free markets. A truly free market should look like what we have just seen with the retail investors on Reddit. One where average people can play the game better and become billionaires in the process. THAT’S what truly free markets should be, and that what every knowledgeable true economist can get behind. All in all, while some of its ultimate conclusions didn’t entirely hit the mark, it made for good viewing. The acting was great, and it was interesting to remember what it felt like to remember that moment in history.

2. Rare movie that is more like a book than a movie! - Writers learn we generally do not tell things in the first person. That's something that directors do and not because they want to, but because they have to; you're sitting right there listening to them and watching their story. But, this movie is told in more than one style. It is like reading Hemmingway, but watching it on the screen. Add to this factors like amazing, well known actors. A true (although adapted) story which affected everyone with a (k). A talented writer / director who is able to make one of the most complex industries in the world understandable to the public. Wow. This thing is real and if you miss it you will be missing something that could have provided a better understanding of the world you live in, not to mention an amazing and entertaining adventure into the human failing of avarice.

3. funny, informative, and entertaining - The cast is dazzling. Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale, and Brad Pitt are the heavy hitters. There are also some delightful cameos. The Big Short deals with an odd and complicated subject with style. Director Adam Mckay is more popular for making comedies like Anchor Man and Step Brothers. He takes this dramatic subject and injects it with humor and flare. A real joy and a must-see.

4. Not with it - I looked forward to this because another reviewer said it was better than Vice, but / into the movie I realize it’s only good for someone who’s familiar with: the terms, the slang, and most of all: the stock market. I love good acting and writing but it’s clear I’m out of my depth. Disappointed.

5. We need more of this... - This movie had a lot of sub parts and b/c I'm self diagnosed A.D.D., I had to watch this a couple of times in order to connect dots & justify my anger over big banks & republican politics. Jeesh ! Very well casted. Very well acted. Very well written. Scary it is based on multiple TRUE stories & experiences.

6. Really enjoyed this film - Its frustrating to watch however. I have read that many economists equate what the banks were doing back before the crash to a world wide ponzi scheme... and it doesn't look like we have fixed anyhing. People will always resort to the easy buck, easy scam... I just hope the next crash isn't as drastic.

7. Helplessy Depressing - Plot of the housing bubble, told through the investors who saw it coming, bet that it would happen, and made billons of dollars when it did. Not what you would call an uplifting film. All the characters are all slimey. It is base level infotainment attemting to be a work of art.
2016-06-30

8. Well done! - Great directing, acting, and screenwriting. A great movie to explain a serious topic, commonly portrayed as being "too complicated for the average person to understand". Having lived through this and rebounded from it, this explains so much of the years of greed in our financial and legislative systems. Too bad this will happen again ... and again ... and again.

1. Classic ’s - It’s hard to explain this movie by today’s standards but if you were a “mainstream” media-loving teenager when this came out in the late ’s, it surely had an impact. It was my last two years of high school when this came out and I remember people quoting the movie or referencing parts of it. Overall the movie itself is a / but bonus points for nostalgia, a good soundtrack and amazing cast. If you were around when this movie came out then you likely know how great this cast was. As an aside, I have no idea why iTunes removed this and didn’t have it for so long only to bring it back. I am pretty sure I had already purchased it and went to watch it one day and it wasn’t there. A good reason to keep your receipts and contact support if this happens to you.

1. Watch now! - Hands down one of the best thriller movies around. Perfect for fans of the Hunger Games and Divergent. I especially liked it because of its plot twists and the huge cliffhanger at the end. Make sure you have money for the thinning: new world order because the cliffhanger leaves you wanting more! I definitely recommend buying this movie:)

2. I gave it one watch - Okay I know that these actors/people have histories, especially on YouTube, but I thought the premise looked good and the acting solid. Look, I understand that people have a big beef with Logan Paul and maybe even Peyton List, and that (he) can act like a huge jerk most of the time, but seriously, I did not see any of that on display in this movie. This is how Logan Paul could be in real life. Not kidding, I loved this approach(and yes, it was cliche at times) but I’m a sucker for new ideas and this movie has a lot of them. It’s bleak but you can also see the fun people had putting this together. Yes this movie has flaws, isn’t the greatest of YA films, and has questionable actors/moments, but I enjoyed it. I wouldn’t mind seeing the second one. As I say to everybody, give it one watch and see what you think afterwards.

3. Emotional - I am not a “Logang” fan or a fan of any of them, but this movie is so intriguing and I can say that it lives up to the trailer’s expectations. I just highly recommend that if you are sensitive and cry during movies, prepare yourself. It honestly is a tear-jerker and jump scarer too! Overall recommed it!

1. I was captivated... - Babylon is different. A series of memorable, well acted scenes present different eras of early Hollywood that is summarized in a powerful scene with Jean Smart and Brad Pitt. What a scene and great writing! The entire cast has large dramatic range of emotions, especially Margot Robbie who is kind of a Harley Quinn meets a desperate Hollywood starlet. These scenes climax to a collage of iconic Hollywood history that was reminiscent of “Day of the Locust”. The movie doesn’t end, it explodes. I was captivated throughout.

2. Not quite... - Let me say first I am a fan of Damien Chazelle and I went into this with high expectations and of course hoped it would be great. And it wasn't. Despite the scale and spectacle, and a couple of great set pieces, the movie was confusing and tonally all over the map. At times, it kind of felt like Chazelle was himself making sport of what he was creating and it didn't really work for me. Some key moments are also telegraphed so obviously that it takes away from them. I did like the performances overall, especially Diego Calva. But the gross-out stuff finally kind of killed it for me. And Monty Python did it better. And I gave this three stars but would take away half of one if I could.

3. Very sad sign of the de-evolution - This could've been a great film. They rely too much on unhinged debauchery when lacking in substance. They missed the mark on depicting the soul of old Hollywood. It was completely infiltrated by modern perspective, and soulless sexuality and violence. Is this a new trend for Hollywood? If so, I'm tuning out. I'm not interested in riding the entertainment de-evolutionarily train and its efforts to use shock and star power in replacement of substantiative, writing, directing, acting, and production. A special note regarding the hyper-violence and masochism: This is a dealbreaker. You've gone WAY too far slipping this in and producing such foul debauchery! You're extremely off the mark and you have lost an audience!! We will now go out of our way to stay away from films with these stars, directors, and producers who have been involved in this and sold out to debauchery in lieu of talent.

4. Interesting movie - Hollywood seems to be going through a “homage” phase, making movies about old Hollywood. I enjoyed the look into the silent movie era; that part was interesting—great music and acting. By the end, I think the writers and director didn’t know how to finish the movie. In many ways, the film seems like one big advertisement for Hollywood. But by the end, I wasn’t sure what the takeaway was. The overarching theme seemed to be that people in Hollywood end up miserable. All this to say, the first half was good, and that’s about it. These homage films aren’t that great, like Hail Caesar or Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, etc. They’re long, drawn-out movies about why Hollywood is great. But there’s no story and no compelling reason to care once the movie ends.

5. An Average Guy’s Review - After seeing it x, I find it an entertaining movie. I don’t think it’s a masterpiece nor a flop. But despite some flaws, it was a very enjoyable film for me. I’m not a film critic, but I think it’s worth a watch. (I usually watch syfy & horror, so this was a nice change of pace for me).
2023-02-07

6. Awful etc etc etc - Gatsby movie wanna be but worse. Looks like some friends nominate this AWFUL tv movie for dummies, obviously new generation of hollow heads. Not a real acting nor real interesting not worthy at all. Save yourself time and money and look for old Hollywood movies with famous actors.
2023-02-03

7. A mess, but with a possible "cult classic" future - Damien Chazelle has delivered a film that's both a "love and hate letter" to cinema and its early history of how the industry shifted from silents to talkies, against extermely uncomfortable and hard-to-watch debauchery. However, many have said it could be re-evaluated in the future as a misunderstood masterpiece, so we'll see where it goes from here. On the positive side, Justin Hurwitz raises the roof with his score. Prepare for "Voodoo Mama" to be played a lot as a hot dance party track.
2023-01-31

8. As that one comment said, y’all will be sorry in years - This movie is not only about the ’s era of silent films and the transition to speakeasies but also takes us into the real mind of Damien Chazelle, if you liked La la land/whiplash and don’t like this movie then you’re simply not a fan of Damien.

1. Wow, What a boring show - You know, it has got to be so difficult to take a movie about Hot Good Looking Men removing their clothes while dancing provocatively and make it a boring film. But they have been successful here. Wow! What a sleeper, from intro to finish! I feel bad for everyone involved. I remember seeing the first one in theater and the audience had a great time! I guess they forgot what made that movie fun while trying to tell an okay story. But nobody is coming for the story, anymore than anyone reads Playboy for the articles. But if all you’re giving is story, at least make it good and engaging so that while we may be disappointed, we wont also be bored.

2. Terrible - Don’t waste your money. I hate leaving a bad review because I like both actors but this movie is just BAD. It felt like they threw it together and hoped we would be dumb enough to like it because of who was in it. Ugh…NO!! There is hardly no dancing in it and when there is you get snippets or like the camera zooms in and out real fast. It is just weird and I hated it!! I’m glad or I hope it is the last one. Because this one does not do the Magic Mike name justice at all!!!!

1. It's not even sexy anymore! - Alright people let's get this straight Fifty Shades Freed stinks at every level i mean this franchise is worth not telling to audiences and women alike. I understand Women like this movie because the main character is hot and they can live the fantasy of in a good relationship, love and money of course! Freed dosen't live up to the hype and the worst out of the series all of the romance and chimestry is godawful. I don't care if they payed $ to make Jamie Dornan naked what a embrassment he should be framed and frauded so yeah live the dream woman you like hot men got watch this movie i don't like it.
2020-06-16

2. why? - i’m seeing so many bad reviews, yes. the movies can be better of course, but they weren’t horrible. personally i don’t like dakota as ana. they could’ve gone for ashley benson. the chick was obsessed with wanting dakota’s role. the movies, however, weren’t bad at all. i liked it. again they could improve cause they missed A WHOLE LOT of scenes. but we can’t change it. so we must put up with what the crew chose. so i think they did the best they could.
2020-04-18

3. Honestly I love it - To begin I really loved all of the movies from shades. I honestly think you’ll only love it if your into that stuff. I love the fact that the second movie was when it got things prepared for this last movie, other wise it would of been all just about sex which gets boring don’t eat me wrong though.

4. A Study on Love When it Works! - Yes it may be a little "surface" but just like the Twilight series, its intent is to draw us in with the elixir of human desire between a guy and girl and balance it with true romance. So many of these reviews must be written by bitter, poisoned souls who either lack or have given up on love. Please see it through romantic eyes. If not, then why did you watch it in the first place?
2018-11-10

5. garbage - those that gave it stars are simply proof positive that many many people out there have no earthly idea what quality story telling or movie telling is. This was awful from start to finish, like the other . Bad acting, no chemistry between the characters, ridiculous plot lines, boring, not sexual or sensuous given the story matter.... just all around bad. Don't waste your time or money. I'm also beginning to wonder how many Apple employees are asked to write reviews for movies, mainly those that get hammered by the critics and are really bad, given the fact that many reviews here (and they just happen to be some of the star reviews) are posted on dates when the movie has barely been out in the theater for long and definitely hasn't been released on itunes yet. What a bunch of garbage
2018-06-22

6. So emotional - Omg I got super emotional when they were fighting about the baby! It seems all to true in real life. Though when Mia got taken away I thought Anna should have told Christian what was going on, it would have made no difference, but I get the theatrical reasons, and why they did it that way. Love this move though.
2018-06-09

7. These reviewers must be high - There’s nooooo way in the world anyone who honestly saw this movie actually enjoyed it. It was all over the place, anti climatic, and boring. It doesn’t in no way compare to the first two at all!! If you didn’t pay to go see this, like I didn’t, seriously save your money.
2018-05-15

8. This movie was STUPID... - ... plot was all over th place, absoultely no direction with the characters, silly and BORING, lacking chemstry between the main characters, dull, pointless and STUPID. It was horrendous... I didn't red the books but my word if they are anything like these movies (especially this disaster) then steer clear.

1. i hate this movie - I hated this movie. I think part of my reason for hating it is because my ex-boyfriend loooved the book and wouldn't shut up about how much he loved it. I mean, why would a supposedly straight man read a book geared toward women anyway? It was embarrassing, actually, but I digress. I personally thought the movie was boring as hell, waaaaay too long and, oh yeah, BORING AS HELL

2. Perfection - Now this is how a movie is supposed to be written, amazing acting, funny scenes and also extremely touching scenes as well! This movie is well worth the hype! My two favorite characters where minny and Celia, I loved how their two different personalities got along so well. All the characters were so well played it brought the film to life. This one is a keeper and is going in my collection! No matter who you are this movie is perfect for you! I also recommend reading the book! It was also a master piece and it was the gateway to this film! I love the help and I'm sure over time it will become a timeless classic

3. Ten stars - This is one of the best movies I've ever seen. It has a lot of meanings but it also has a bit of comedy that won't make you bored. I went through lots of emotions throughout this film and it made me think a lot. I think this is the kind that every single one of you should watch. Would love to watch again :)

4. Beautiful Story - One of the teachers at school had organized to have a showing of The Help in our auditorium. Students weren’t required to attended but my friends and I chose to go along with about other students and it was an absolutely beautiful and moving story. A week later, another showing of The Help took place in our auditorium, due to popular demand, and about students and teachers had shown up to watch The Help. Truly an amazing and wonderful movie.
2013-12-20

5. The Help - This movie is supposed to be based on the novel and let me say it is THE WORSE depiction ever! Sure the acting was good, but what lacked was the connection. The connection and relationship between each character. So many important things were left out. Such as the hate and disgust by Elizabeth towards her own child. The true love and affection between Constantine and Sketeer. The struggles between Minny and her husband Leroy. So many things lacked detail and emotion. What happened to the connection between Skeeter and Stuart? The movie made it seem as if they only went out on dates; he was going to propose to Skeeter in the book! Also, please don't let me get starter about Aibeleen and Mae Mobley. The true affection, love, and care for each other was not shown to its true potential. It didn't even show the hurt Aibeleen felt whenever Mae Mobley would get spanked or worse, ignored by Elizabeth. There is so much lack or organization in the movie, nothing really went together, it was all just "rushed together". So many parts were left out that played an important part in the movie. Such as the true way Minny left her husband, how the miscarriage really went between Celia and Minny. There is just too much to negative things to write about here in this review, but to any one that has read the book, please do yourself a huge favor and DO NOT watch the movie because it will be a huge disappointment.

6. Unless you were in the South in the ''s it's hard to believe... - For a film that reaches out to appeal with humor and humanity, its greatest attribute is the accurate portrayal of the inhuman portrayal of one group of human beings of another. There was racial ignorance, prejudice, stupidity and hatred everywhere but the concentration in a handful of states which have been the target of so many books and movies. I would welcome a major attempt to spotlight what is today's equivalent not only in the south but in the rest of the country.
2013-08-09

7. Must see!! - Amazing insight into the racism that occurred in our country decades ago. The film was beautifully put together at a picturesque location in the south. The acting was phenomenal on everyone's part, it couldn't be easy since they had to make racist remarks towards each other. Highly recommend!!

1. Um......... Worst movie of ! - don't watch this. It's not sexy, it's not hot or even women or young woman like these movies because the main character Christian Grey has a lot of money and is handsome and hot that's all what a women should need i don't need this crap iam not a woman iam a film critic and film critics don't watch two married couples making out it's STUPID.
2020-06-02

2. Surprise!!! NOTHING LIKE THE BOOK - This movie was nothing like the book not a surprise since the first movie was nothing like the book either. I was hoping that during this movie the author and the screenwriters would get back on track and capture love story between Ana and Christian. That was completely lost during the first movie.
2018-05-15

3. Doesn't do it for me - As a lover of the books and somebody who's read them multiple times each I was very disappointed by both movies. Not only way the screen play awkward and slow but the actors chemistry is dead. Plus seeing Jaime Dornan as Christian just doesn't fit the part. In the books he's a masculine drop dead gorgeous hunks (or at least in my mind) not so much in the movie though. Then there's the issue with his acting for the character. He didn't do him justice. Christian is a very misunderstood, emotionally abused character and when he finally opens up to Ana about his thing with touching he just blow its off for the rest of the movie like it's no big deal. I was excited for these movies to come out because I fell in love with the love story but I'd prefer if they just stayed as books. They are good for a laugh on screen though.

4. Thin Plot, Not Horrible Tho - This movie has an incredibly thin plot, like a romance novel, and it's very light on the sex, considering what it should have been like (based on the book). But it's not the worst movie ever made. I actually smiled through most of it. The stars do have chemistry and their relationship is more believable in this sequel than in the first one. I think all the haters of romance movies should stop reviewing romance movies. It's really not terrible - and there are violent or car chase movies that are much worse out there that people love for no reason that I can see.
2017-07-15

5. The worst movie ever made - I cannot believe the world has lowered itself to rock-bottom so evilly. I am years old and a Catholic. The idea of sex out of marriage. . . I don't need to watch this movie and I swear I never will. If I wasn't Catholic I would tell the cast, crew, viewers, raters, etc to burn in hell. But instead I will pray for them, for they need that more than anything else. If you're looking for something good to watch, find a documentry on Saint Maria Goretti. She was a year-old girl who's neighbor demanded to have sex with her. She refused and he stabbed her times, killing her. A real person and a real hero. Saint Maria Goretti, pray for us! God help the people who make the decisions of watching Fifty Shades of Grey and it's sequel.

6. Working Girl - So, I love old movies and I'm watching Working Girl with Melanie Griffith and Harrison Ford when it gets to the end of the movie and Tess (Melanie character) finds out the she has her own corner office. Her new secretary ask her to lay out the ground rule and Melanie's character says " I expect you to call me Tess, I don't expect you to get me a cup of coffee unless your getting yourself some to, and the rest will go along with from there" So deja vu, where have I heard that from. I'm wrecking my brain trying to think, and light bulb . Anna says the same line after Jack gets fired and she's in his office with the other secretary. Seriously I wasn't all that happy about this movie, but stealing lines from old films, give me a break. I hope for the rd movie they stick more to the book.
2017-06-25

7. Making sense - It is a continuation on the fifty shades grey and I'm beginning to understand the whole story with the fifty shades darker. I like it when Christian is becoming more normal and falling I love with Ana. it is mKing sense why Mr. Grey is a little sexual and perverted. lol I love the movie!
