Director: George Miller His 2nd movie My 6th movie watched from the directorI finally get to see this gem of a movie, it's kind of ridiculous it took me this long! The action, direction, and set pieces were all great. I thought it flowed much better than the first and Gibson was more interesting in this, still surrounded by crazy characters that were amped up. Yet, having seen "Fury Road" back at its release, it's still not as amped up, crazy, and brilliant as that.Added to Lists: Top Ten Performances - Mel Gibson (Honorable Mention) Step Into Dystopia (50 Best Dystopian Movies) Best Movies of 1981 Movies Set in the Future: Prediction vs. Reality __________ Location: Somewhere in Australia

Season 4
This was a very good season, rivaling the first; and, in time, may be the best of the series. It had great action, drama, suspense, comedy, nostalgia, and fun adventure. All these things worked even with the writers complicating it by having the large cast in three locations far from each other and with their own huge plans that all effectively worked together. It still had several weak moments, eye-rolling monologues, and spent too much time on some things that didn't interest me - But I am just one person.

Director: Nathan Grossman His 1st movie My 1st movie watched from the directorThis is a decently produced doc about an inspiring subject who has motivated her generation to do something about the stupid climate crisis (and rightfully embarrassed previously generations). Hopefully something substantial will actually come of it. Anyway, she is an interesting figure and I think this doc created a nice window into who she is. Though I have followed leaders trying to reverse climate change and knew enough about Greta, I mainly wanted to watch with our son, to hopefully inspire him to do something more...Added to Lists: Ranked: The Best Climate Crisis Documentaries __________

Director: Edgar Wright His 8th movie My 6th movie watched from the directorI was very psyched to see this one, perhaps too much, because even though it wasn't bad, I left disappointed. There were a lot of creative ideas going on here but it wasn't nearly as clever as previous Edgar Wright projects. Thomasin McKenzie is really strong in the lead and Diana Ring is a force. They are surrounded by beautiful production design and cinematography, but where editing in Wright's movies is typically a highlight this one had some issues.Added to Lists: Top Ten Films - Edgar Wright Movies that are Song Titles Top Ten Performances - Diana Rigg Best Movie Posters - 2021 Iconic Dresses of Cinema - Pink Fab Fashion Films __________ Location: SoHo in London, England, UK

Director: Ken Russell His 10th movie My 2nd movie watched from the directorI love these kind of wild productions from the 1970s, the design, the music, the camp. I just take it in, knowing I'm not seeing a great movie but a very unique and entertaining one. I really liked the concept of this one and found it to actually be kind of funny, too.Added to Lists: Amp up the Camp Movies that are Song Titles __________ Location: Vienna, Austria

Director: Marc Webb His 5th movie My 5th movie watched from the directorJeff Bridges is his usual awesomeness in this story about a young adult from a rich family having trouble figuring out his family while hooking up with a wildly unrealistically beautiful woman who is the mistress of his father... IT's got a great soundtrack and decent cinematography, direction and locations along with a nice twist at the end.Added to Lists: Movies that are Song Titles Top Ten Performances - Jeff Bridges (Honorable Mention) Top Ten Performances - Kate Beckinsale Best One-Scene-Only Performances - Bill Camp __________ Location: Upper West Side, Manhattan & Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, both in NYC, NY

Director: Tom Gormican His 1st movie My 1st movie watched from the directorThere are a decent amount of laughs in here and the six main characters are interesting enough. The main problem is with how demeaning toward women they are, and they never really learn not to be. They just end up with the women without really changing for the better. The Efron character learns one lesson in how to be a proper boyfriend, that's about it out of all three characters, on how to be better men. I'm not saying a movie has to have that goal, but in this type of movie, if it doesn't, then it sends the message that their shitty view on women is okay.Added to Lists: Three Amigos or Amigas __________ Location: NoLita in Manhattan, NYC, NY, USA

Maybe Top 5 Chris Rock Starrers
“
Chris Rock is funny and the supporting cast is strong enough, although Tracy Morgan needs a larger role.
There wasn't really anything inventive about the film, pretty standard stuff. The areas in which they seemed to want to be different ended up being awkward and over-the-to” read more

Season 6 (Final Season)
The final season is the weakest, but the finale is very strong, making me not too sour about the whole thing. It has an even more negative tone overall, and I guess we are meant to not like Tommy, our protagonist? There is an episode where it seems like they're finally going to make Ada the character she should be, but then they seem to forget about her. There are some nice send backs and the overall production is still high quality. One Favorite Character from Favorite TV Shows: Ada ---------- Main Location: Birmingham, England, UK; Miquelon Island, Newfoundland, Canada
