According to Jim (2001)
pretty good for a sitcom
I liked this show from the first time I watched it and there are very few sitcoms that I watch on a regular basis. I like all the characters except the brother Andy who is just plain annoying. I don't know who cast him in this role but with 2 beautiful sisters couldn't they have gotten somebody who was somewhat attractive?
And what Courtney Thorne Smith's character Cheryl ever saw in Jim is beyond me but it is a watchable and somewhat believable show. Jim is not that great of a father - he's more like those 1950 & 1960 fathers that supports the kids and that's about it.
Take out the laugh track and I'll give it an 8.
Jaws: The Revenge (1987)
Worst movie I ever saw
It's a toss-up as to whether Jaws 3 or Jaws the Revenge was the worst movie I ever saw. Too bad I couldn't rate this worse than a 1. It doesn't even deserve that high a rating. Why does Hollywood insist on knocking out sequel after sequel and why don't they know when to stop? Jaws 1 was exceptional with Jaws 2 being okay, still very watchable. Jaws the Revenge was so far fetched that only an idiot would enjoy it.
We are supposed to believe that a shark somehow knows who is a Brody and even knows when these Brody's leave Amity and head down to the Caribbean! Did you know sharks were that smart? Why aren't scientists doing way more research on them? Naturally all the Brody boys still work on or near the water, when most certainly after what they witnessed as children, they would be living in a desert somewhere nowhere near any body of water. But then the makers of this film couldn't have blessed us with this 2 hour waste of time.
The ending is so ridiculous as to be almost funny. Someone please tell me why Ellen Brody thinks she can catch this shark all by herself to finally end "The Revenge". Give me a break. Then she acts like she's on tranquilizers and needs serious help mentally. But she manages to actually spear the shark on a part of the bow. HURRAY! Maybe we will never be subjected to a sequel as dumb as this.
The Last Trimester (2007)
Don't waste 2 hours!
What a boring, predictable movie. The actors & actresses seemed like it was their first movie.
Tracey & Eric have just adopted a baby boy when the police come to take him away. Seems like his birth mother neglected to mention that she was married and the birth father wanted the baby.
Their marriage seems shaky after that until Eric comes home and tells Tracey that a woman in his office has a niece who is pregnant from a one night stand and wants to give the baby up for adoption. They meet Gabriella at a restaurant and while Eric & Tracey think she is lovely, the audience knows she is a few fries short of a happy meal.
To say much more would be to give away the plot line. There was one interesting twist but the last 10 minutes was so typical. It was a waste of 2 hours.
The Sacketts (1979)
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I thought with my two favorite actors, Sam Elliott & Tom Selleck, it had to be a winner. We rented the DVD's which had a part 1 & part 2. After the first 15 minutes I was ready to shut it off. I've never seen such a slow moving western in my entire life. I gave up after the first DVD, not caring who lived or died in the rest of this movie. Even with the great cast, the acting was wooden, the scenes were predictable and it was just plain boring.
It starts out in Tennessee with two brothers Orrin & Tyrell. Within the first 5 minutes Orrin (played by Tom Selleck)Sackett's bride-to-be is killed at the ceremony and Orrin's brother Ty shoots the man "Higgins" (remember Magnum P.I.'s character Higgins?). Naturally Higgins brother is going to come after Ty (yawn) so he heads out west which he eventually hooks up with Orrin who has also left TN. They become cowboys and the rest is too mind numbing to even recall. What a disappointment!
Jumpin' Jack Flash (1986)
hysterical
Terry Dolittle works in a bank doing some sort of financial stuff. One day she gets a message from some guy stuck in Eastern Europe. Apparently she is the only one who can get him out. She makes trips to the British Consulate, contacts other "spies", etc. in her attempts to bring "Jack" home. If I had to just pick one scene that is my favorite I would be in big trouble. The scene at the police station where she is cursing at the cops for assuming she's a hooker and has a pimp; the dress shredding scene, the phone booth scene, the truth serum, her comments while listening to Jumpin' Jack Flash. The whole movie was a laugh riot. I am now 49 years old and still watch this if I need a good laugh. If people don't think it's funny, they have a poor sense of humor.
It was a "bloody fun movie"
The Omen (1976)
Scariest movie I have ever seen
I was 21 when I first saw this movie 30 years ago. To this day, it is the most frightening movie I have ever seen. While there are a lot of gory movies out there, this was terrifying because it was based on Revelation from the the Bible. I had nightmares and couldn't sleep for WEEKS after seeing The Omen. I can't believe they have made a second one which I will NOT see.
It starts out innocently enough with the father wanting to spare his wife pain after their newborn son dies. He substitutes a newborn baby in his child's place when a priest at the hospital suggests it. It is only later that Mr. Thorn find out the mother was a jackal and the father is Satan himself. Things get interesting as they search for the truth and downright petrifying as they find the truth. Although there were some very memorable death scenes, it wasn't gory, just unnerving.
If you like edge of your seat type movies and aren't prone to nightmares or panic attacks, when you will enjoy this movie. Otherwise watch it during the day and then put on a good comedy afterward if you want to sleep that night..
L'ours (1988)
Loved it!
This is one of the best movies I have ever seen BECAUSE it didn't rely on special effects or million dollar actors/actresses to make a truly beautiful, awe-inspiring movie. Yes, it is sad when the mother bear dies and the cub waits for a long time before leaving her body. The big male bear does not want the cub around but he licks the bullet wound for the big male and they have a sort of peace. The humans are incidental to the movie. I think the bear noises are adorable. It makes you want to pick him up, cuddle him and take him home with you until he can fend for himself. The part where he is being attacked by the cougar is just precious.
There are scary moments for a young child seeing this movie. I would not recommend it for any child under 10. The ending, while beautiful and heartwarming was a little too far-fetched for me. We would all like to put human characteristics on animals, but we don't know what goes through their heads.
The scenery was beautiful, the interaction and growing affection between the bears was sweet to watch. On my top 20 list of favorite movies along with "White Fang" another animal movie. Watch it, I'll think you'll be surprised. Now, I must go down to Wal-Mart and find the $5.00 DVD everyone is talking about.....
