Wolf (1994)
10/10
Extraordinary writing and execution
17 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
So what do you do, Will asks. Why do you care Laura responds. I don't, I was just making polite conversation, Will says. I'd rather not discuss what I do, Laura says.

Ya know, I think I understand what you like now. Your very beautiful, you think men are only interested in you because they think your beautiful, but you want them to be interested in you because your you. The problem is besides from all that beauty your not that interesting. Your rude you're hostile, your sullen your withdrawn. I know you want someone to look past all that, the real person underneath, but the only reason a person would look past all that is because your beautiful. Ironic isn't it. In an odd way your your own problem, Will says.

Sorry, wrong line, I'm not taken back by your keen insight, and suddenly challenged by you, Laura says.

Wolf captures beauty and the beast in that era. Not to mention is that David Schwimmer as a police officer, also is Einstein giving advice to the Wolf?

The essence of humanity and our evolution of animal nature. In a world of industry and social construction, and sexual market value, philosophy nuances are clear. Also, if one chooses to challenge the wolf, regardless of beta characteristics, the wolf eventually emerges and display its natural intent.

Point is this movie challenges how to look at social construction vs non constructive nature. A wonderful journey in storytelling,

Sneakers (1992)

Wow, this movie speaks in 2023
30 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
It's been years since I last watched this before today. One interesting moment was when the statement was made that the modern world is run off 1's and 0's, not weapons and wars.

Another is "my voice is my passport please verify me " this is access that is required for access for high level workers to access classified information, which Wells Fargo now offers that security access over the phone. The only difference now is the term is "my voice is my password".

This movie likely inspired movies like Oceans Eleven and Enemy of the State as well as other geeky man vs the system films. Still fun and revenant to watch today. I highly recommend it...

Nostalgia is the point
13 September 2022
Many interesting collectors are keeping these visual memories alive. As a minimal collector myself I can appreciate this content.

I have been collecting older game consoles, Laserdisc players CED Videodisc, VHS and in the future Beta. Having a Plex sever to share with my family and friends via VHS movies from 1982 with trailers and scenes after the ending to the Plex server has been a conversation piece bringing people closer through nostalgia.

From vintage and retro media formats to physical games, the infrastructure translates across countries, genders, cultures.

Those who create and share this piece of history, thank you.

Great entertainment
2 July 2022
Better then what we're seeing with Hollywood and Disney, however Paramount has some great content. Nice to have options these days.

This movie has action, strength and sacrifice. I'll be looking for more of these types of movies.

Interesting movie
7 June 2022
What can i say. The first movie was great. I am not sure what happened in the past three years other then people are losing their mind. Evident the woke message will continue. I'm done with Holyrood. Decent story poor delivery.

Is a woman a Noun or an Adjective?
4 June 2022
Fascinating (in a disconcerting way) the we need to have these conversations. And "YES" we do.

This is a fair and honest question from the right who in large feel this strange conversation (or fight if you will) was brought to them from the left, and rather convince everyday folks what their definition is, they double down (expresses some choice phases) and retreat to safety. Is their definition of words different than ours? If so We are in trouble. It's hard to survive in a biological society where people can't or refuse to communicate.

Matt does a good job in exposing this behavior, Understanding and respecting our differences. That has been the goal for many of Americans as far back as I remember.

A well done documentary!

Thank you Daily Wire for standing up to the cult-ure war are now a part of.

Hey Paul, Ayayayaha

Where did you get that overnight bag. Between all the movies with "American" in the title, we have gone the way of the Dodo. Regressed sad to say. We might already be no longer America. On he plus side we still have these to reflect on. Well done when Hollywood did it alright.

Good example of traditional nuclear family values and what can be accomplished. This story captures the hope in many of us if we don't give up. We need more of these movies..

Art evolved, and it'll make you question your.own reality. Watch it in its entirety, and absorb the moments. It feels like the eighties and the present.

Missed opportunity
4 July 2020
I feel this final chapter was a huge missed opportunity. I'm not saying the movie was bad, but I am saying is it could have been vastly different.

A little about myself, I grew up with the Star Wars movies. I saw every movie in their original format in theaters.

How I viewed this final episode was a similar version of Return of the Jedi minus the character connections I felt 36 years prior.

In my personal opinion this series could have finalized on a a negative note, meaning the (Empire) Could have leveraged and in these times I believe it would have worked.. It may have potentially have pissed off many people but as I remember the Empire Strikes Back left me wanting.

Just a suggestion if the franchise is to survive.

Original Star Wars but even smarter
1 January 2020
As a kid who grew up watching the originals at the theater in all their glory I can attest the Post movies disappointed were a bit of a disappointment however the writing of this series Is exceptional. My expectations have been exceeded and the thus the bar is now high again. Keep it up Disney. I have spoken...

Balanced and fair bit of entertainment. Loved Elton John and Julian Moore. Very worthy sequel. Highly recommend. Can hardly wait for the next installment.

Take me Home, Country Roads.
