John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019)
Not That Bad
I can understand that if you paid full price at a theatre it would be a bit of a let down. The first 20 minutes are terrible. But after that the story kicks in and the visuals are awesome.
Despite what others say there is an actual story in between the but kicking and it is descent enough to not slow down the movie. The only bad part was the women who played the adjudicator can't act. I hope they recast her with someone who deserves a good roll.
Don't give up on Wick yet. Just fast forward through the first 20 minutes and you will not regret watching it.
Nathan for You (2013)
Come back, Nathan!!! Come back!!!
The freshest show in decades. Comedy central really dropped the ball promoting this genius, clever and masterfully written show. The last episode left me speechless. I am now going through what could be considered heroin withdraw since I can't get my Nathan fix anymore. I hate him for not doing more with the show. But Love him for what he has accomplished. Can't wait to see what he does next. Hopefully next time it will be better promoted. Support this guy.
A Clockwork Orange (1971)
It's About Instant Gratification vs Morality
A clockwork orange is about morality and how to deal with our impulses of wants and needs. Alex, will not wait to court a woman, when he wants sex, he finds a woman the next moment and has sex with her with no regard for what she wants. If he wants money or a car, he steals it. If he wants a cathartic experience to relieve the stress of the world he just beats someone up. He has no regard for how his actions impact others. We as viewers fight with ourselves to not empathize with Alex because we have wants and needs that go unfulfilled everyday. Although we are civilized and generally safe in society, sometimes I wish I could have sex whenever I felt like it with whoever I want with no strings attached, or steal the car of my dreams without having to work for it, or beat the crap out of government officials to make myself feel better. So now we weigh what is worth more,the regard for human kind or my gratification. It is this pulling of what is right and wrong that the film employs so well. It is THE darkest intellectual film ever made. I love it and I will always love, hate, envy and feel sorry for Alex DeLarge....
The King of Queens (1998)
I Hated It....
I thought that this was going to be another slot filler sitcom. I went in with very low expectations. I wanted to hate it so bad since I have seen other work of Kevin James....But the first episode was pretty good. I didnt realize how funny Kevin James could be, it shocked me. He is like a mix of Chris Farley's physical comedy and child like innocence and Larry David with his funny stories and unique view on life. Each episode was better then the last.
What hooked me is the opener to season 2 when Doug gets a motorcycle and keeps crashing into the garage. I dont know how he didnt get hurt, but I couldnt stop laughing. His non stop antics dont quit until the last episode in season 9 when the show ends. Leah Remini, Jerry Stiller, Paton Oswald, Gary Valentine and Victor Williams are an amazing support cast each with their own unique sense of comic genius.
I could watch this series over and over. It is a shame that Kevin James' other projects werent well received because King of Queens is TV magic. I can't say enough good things about this show. It is down to earth, relatable and hilarious. Support this show.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016)
Will Ruin Your Date Night
Do you like movies that are 2 hours long but seem like 6? How about movies that have no memorable or exciting moments? Looking for none of the charm and wit of Harry Potter? Look no further!!!
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!
And someone please help the lead actor, Eddie Redmayne, who looks like he is in pain the entire film. Like his shoes are too small and are squishing his feet. His line delivery is anxious and stilted. I just wanted to put him out of his misery. He is annoyingly subdued and but whenever he spoke you wish he would shut up again. YOU LITERALLY CAN'T WIN WITH THIS MOVIE!!!
After a long day me and my GF decided to watch this movie to unwind. OMG!! Our brains were numb an hour into this movie. We were exhausted waiting for something to HAPPEN. By the end we were so disappointed that we watched a funny sitcom right after to cheer us up. It will ruin your date night, as it surely ruined hours. No one will get lucky after this, you will just curl into a ball wanting 2 hours of your life back, wondering how Harry Potter could do this to you.

The Cosby Show (1984)
Positive Portrayal of ALL Famlilies
This show believably portrays how amazing and fun a family can be when they love and respect each other. This is phenomenon that might be lost on younger generations. As child rearing and marriage is taken much less seriously. Claire Huxtable (Phylicia Rashad) will will always be the love of my life. I doubt I will find a woman as confident and sensual as this woman. She is lucid and feminine and seems to have no trace of any insecurities. She could be THE role model for woman. Arguably it could be said this is a show based around role models. How to be a good brother, or sister, or husband and wife. I cant think of a good role model on TV today.....
The Lost Room (2006)
Ending Insight
NO SPOILERS. Although this mini series is 100 percent awesome. There is some confusion, or aggravation about the ending. The story fleshes out main themes of the bible.
First, the 'object' if human means immortality - the son of God. If one tries to become immortal by using the objects, they are not. The objects merely give the illusion of immortality - illusion/deceit is work of the devil.
Thus the materialism vs honourableness theme appears.
Second, the ambiguity of the room requires faith. The how and why mirror the how and why of the existence of human beings, and the search for something that may or may not exist.
Third, the experiments on room 9. They r trying to become god and therefore are banished to hell. ie. the woman ghost in agony.
Fourth, the occupant. This is the hardest one of all to understand and took me a while. He was Jesus. He suffered for our sins. He had all his possessions taken away. He wore only white and was there both times when the experiment on door 9 took place, as divine intervention. As the anointed one. which is why he had his past erased. because he is meant to do Gods work...not to have a family life.
Five, the reason the room resets is because it is a place of purity, it is the garden of Adam and Eve, why do you think there is a bed in the room??????
