Overcomer (2019)

Bring your neighbors! Great take-a-ways
23 August 2019
I almost never would give a 10 on a film since I believe that every film could do better, but in this case it is just a really good family film with some great take-a-ways. The acting keeps getting better in their films and the professionalism of the script level is very comparable to any family film produced by Hollywood. The messages and impact was felt deeply by myself. The next day I am still singing the songs in my head and trying to make some differences in my daily life to take advantage of the advise offered in the movie. I can't understand why many people would vote a '1' and then not even do a review, unless they never even saw the film and are just against anything with references to Jesus in a film. I guess that part hasn't changed in over 2000 years!? Go see the film and take someone with you...

Expected a lot more
7 August 2018
The movie was funny - just not hilarious like the trailers showed. I did chuckle a few times and smiled a bit, but not what I expected. After the last tank/bomb of a movie with Kunis in it I figured she had learned - and this one was definitely better than the last one she did. I was in a half packed theater and everyone seemed to have the same response - some scattered laughs here and there, but never really the constant laugh-out-loud comedy that we were hoping for. One thing I noticed was that in her last movie it was filled with f-bombs and all of the younger folks seemed to roll with laughter each time she cursed. The audience this time was pretty mixed for age and the f-bombs never got even a chuckle from what I observed - even though they were plenty of them. Without the language I could have even taken my kids to see it, but not a chance with the amount of swearing it contained. Overall a bit disappointed from the cursing and lack of laughs not already seen in the trailers.

Check the facts for yourself

Think you're not being lied to? Think that history is not being revised? Check out what the definition of fascism is from your iPhone (Apple) - this was done on 8-7-2018 and just asked 'Siri' what the definition of fascism is - result said that this was a "right wing" system!!! Android device search does not add the 'right-wing' nonsense and the good old dictionary does it best. Please check actual history folks - fascism was started by Mussolini around the time of World War II and he was fully an extreme left party socialist.

So what does that have to do with the movie? Well, the movie does a good job in exposing areas where we are being lied to and where history is being revised or ignored. I would encourage anyone on either side to simply be open to the idea that you may have been lied to - and if you don't agree - there are all of the documentations right there on the movie website to help show the facts.

Fist Fight (2017)
3/10
Good idea, weak delivery, previews were better than the movie!
21 February 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Saw the previews and thought that this would be a good combination with these actors. 3 minutes in the movie seemed like all they were trying to get people to laugh about was how many times the actors could drop a F bomb. The movie got kind of slow for the first 1/3 and then finally started to pick up about half way through. Towards the end the song sung by a very young girl at a elementary school talent show was simply loaded with f-bombs and had us and many of the others in the show house feeling like it was way over the top. I expected some language, but the show had so much of it and yet many of the people in the theater were actually laughing just because someone cursed - not because it was even funny! I was seriously hoping for a great comedy and ended up feeling sad that I wasted 2 hours on this movie when there are so many other better ones out there. I would definitely not recommend it.

Utter garbage - what was Amy thinking in doing this???
15 December 2016
Warning: Spoilers
First you get hit with the first 3-5 minutes of 400Lb obese females in full nudity dancing and throwing their parts at you and then watch them in laying positions in a art show! Almost walked out at that point (and should have). The story then breaks down into 3 sub-plots between current time, her past with her former husband, and the time within the manuscript she was reading. The only redeeming value of the whole movie was the plot when she was reading the story - we all like hearing a good story right? But it stops with that being the only part that was any good. The movie drags in many spots. Very little time to show much if any of Amy Adams' usually good acting ability. Fifteen minutes of good watching scattered within an hour and a half of garbage still left me wishing I would have walked out at the beginning porn shots. Don't waste your time.
