The Iron Claw (2023)
The legends of Denton County TX
If I didn't know the story of the Von Erich's, I wouldn't believe this tale told here in this movie! How can so much tragedy hit one family over and over! It's insane to even think about it let alone live in the time period that it happened! I remember the Von Erich's and their journey through wresting, they were the good guys! I remember watching WCCW on Saturday mornings! It was so exciting watching the Von Erich's! They seemed like normal brothers and gifted athletes! Kerry Von Erich became the most popular known by his wrestling tag as the modern day warrior and using intro music from Rush's Tom Sawyer! This movie is great and captures the closeness of the brotherhood of these legends! To tell this tale in just a little over 2 hours is pretty amazing, it may feel a bit rushed at times but given the fact that it covers alot of ground is understandable. All I can say is if you lived during these times and watched WCCW then you are very familiar with this family and this movie will re surface sad memories, I promise! I was surprised to hear about such a movie as I just recently saw the trailer. It's about time this story was brought to life and I'm glad it was done right! I loved it!
Halloween Ends (2022)
Middle finger to the fans
This movie was garbage! Pitiful storyline, lazy writing just alot of stupid crap that made no sense! The way they portrayed Michael Myers in this movie was unforgivable! This movie will bomb because online reviews are coming out everyday with the majority having the same conclusion that it was a terrible film! DGG should go in hiatus for 4 yrs because he's dissapointed alot of fans!

Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Mediocre at best
Wow I'm shocked by the love given to this shallow plotted, cliche ridden movie! I must have seen a different movie than most of you! There is zero chemistry between characters, the plot is stupid and ridiculous and I just don't get these reviews praising this movie as the gold standard! I just canceled my order at Amazon after watching it because imho, it has zero repeatability viewing! Maybe I expected too much given the reviews but I didn't expect to come away so dissapointed at how mediocre it truly was!

Scream 4 (2011)
An empty shell
This is an empty shell of the original! I'm baffled with it's high review ratings! I consider it the worst of all the scream movies! Horrible just horrible!!
Jurassic Park III (2001)
A fun ride
The new movies, World and Kingdom are crap, this movie has flaws but is a really fun movie! The LAST good movie in this saga Behind JP and LW! My guilty pleasure!!
Jurassic World (2015)
Major Major Major...
CRAP!!! Does not even deserve a 1 star! So much hype and this is what we got! Who are these jokers giving this a 10? This movie is nowhere a 7/10 movie, that's a joke!
Rambo: Last Blood (2019)
John Rambo's Grand Finale!
First I must say I'm a huge fan of this series, and have enjoyed them all, some more than others! All have one thing in common, bad guys! If you enjoy bad guys getting their come uppings, Last Blood delivers in spades! A great swan song for the series! Thank you Sly for giving us many years of great entertainment with this character! Rambo is a household name NOT soon to be forgotten!!
Alien: Covenant (2017)
Skip this one!
Stick to the first 2, and if you're like me part 3 as well, it's a guilty pleasure for me, Alien and Aliens are the best movies ever made IMO, Prometheus and Covenant are a joke!
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
It's what you don't see!
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is very disturbing, there's no doubt about that! The disturbing part is not what you see but what you don't see. There's very little blood in this movie considering the title. What you think you saw is what will scare the hell out of you! Horror movie making at its best!
Halloween (1978)
The immortal classic!
I saw this back when I was in high school and the suspence I felt then is still felt today! Great story, characters, and suspence along with an unforgettable score makes Halloween a movie that just ages like a fine wine. It introduced the shape to the world, a shadow behind the old elm tree, a cold face behind the afternoon glare of a windshield... That's the Shape! Donald Pleasence was perfect for the Loomis character and the part and glad they offered him the part and that he accepted. Debra Hill doesn't get the credit she truly deserves and I believe she was instrumental in making Halloween what it became so kudos to Carpenter for hooking her up as his producer! I want to salute Nick Castle for his legendary performance as the shape, after many sequels, no other character that played the shape even comes close to his performance. Halloween is John Carpenter's industry calling card and will always be synonymous with the boogie man!
Bobby Fischer Against the World (2011)
Triumph and Tragedy
There's alot to take away from this documentary, alot, it's about the triumph and tragedy of the most fascinating chess players of our time, Bobby Fischer! This is about a Brooklyn kid who alone unlocked all the secrets of chess, became a Grand Master, took on the powerful Soviet chess machine at 29 and kicked their ass! That's the Bobby Fischer I will always remember!
Rambo (2008)
RAMBO fully unleashed
The best in the series IMHO! John Rambo is a soft, gentle soul until its time not to be! Amazing movie directed by the man himself! See it you won't regret it!
Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
Ridley Scott at his best!
I love this movie, great story, great acting, great characters! Several actors just starting out that went on to be big successes in Hollywood. This and Alien are my favorite Ridley Scott's movies. Both have high repeatable viewing factors. The final cut on the 5 disc Blu-ray collectors edition is the one to watch. This is movie making at its best unfortunately 2049 is crap!

The Matrix Revolutions (2003)
Will grow on you over time!
I did not like Revolutions when I first saw it! When I bought the trilogy on DVD, I would watch Matrix, and Reloaded and skip Revolutions. Then one day I watched all 3 and suddenly Revolutions started to make sense! It's a deep and dark movie that requires multiple viewings. Well lo n behold it grew on me and now I love Revolutions! There's alot going on in this finale and rightly so! There are some things I didn't like, one being that Morpheus who has been the leader of the resistance all of a sudden is a commander with no ship taking orders from Roland! His character was really minimized here and I believe it was a poor decision altogether! I mean this is Morpheus who found the ONE! I love this trilogy!
