The Founder is as solid of a docudrama I've seen in a long time. The set pieces, the acting, the story, are all wonderful. The pacing was really nice and didn't leave me bored once. One of the few complaints I could possibly have is that I wasn't sure how much time had elapsed in certain parts of the movie. Don't believe the incredibly low score for a movie of this caliber and treat yourself to the best movie I've seen so far in 2017.

Sex Ed

Very good comedy if you like School of Rock.......

Okay, so it's not very original, but the director clearly stole the premise of School of Rock which happens to be a favorite of mine since I am a guitar player of 28 years. The best way I can put this movie into perspective is that it is School of Rock with rock and roll replaced by sex education. The kids were great, Hayley Joel Osmant was great, the supporting adults were great, just a great movie. I gave it 7/10 but that's a really strong 7/10. I rarely write reviews...mainly because I suck at writing them, but this is a good movie and don't believe the naysayers. I was thoroughly entertained and it was also fascinating to see HJO in a role other than the "creepy-kid". Best movie ever?.....certainly not. Boring?.....certainly not. Give it a chance. I loved it and the bad reviews are just snobby know-it-alls.
Heroes Among Heroes

What can I say? Donnie Yen has made a fan out of me. Yes, he was in Iron Monkey. This movie started out with the fight scenes being mediocre and all of a sudden the film reeled off one killer fight scene after another. This movie is a classic and any Kung Fu fan should see this. I was only the 39th person to vote on this. That surprised me because this movie is awesome. Musa the Warrior was a killer movie as well. I look for top quality fighting and this movie does the trick. Oh yeah, the plot of the movie is about stopping the distribution of Opium. My brother rented this at Blockbuster and I was skeptical until I saw Donnie Yen's name. I give this movie a 10/10 as far as Kung Fu is concerned!!!!

I am trying to watch more black and white movies and a friend loaned me The Sadist. I popped this sweet gem in the DVD Player and was treated to a pretty dark and sick look at humanity. Arch Hall was a complete maniac and I was hooked as soon as he shows up in the movie. SPOILERS:When the sadist shoots that dude in the head, that makes for a shocking piece of film for 1963. I laughed my ass off at the laugh that Arch Hall has. The snakes could have been left out of the final scene, but I still got a good chuckle out of them. If you want to watch an oldie but goodie, then watch this. "How many bullets I got left in my gun Mr.?" 8/10
Awesome-Best of the series

This movie is one of my all-time favorites. Bill Mosely is funny-as-hell as Chop-Top. Dennis Hopper plays 'Lefty' Enright and is really over the top in his whacked out lawman role. Jim Siedow steals the show with his hilarious lines. "Who sent ya? That chickensh#t burrito man bunch!" I just can't understand the extremely low rating for this movie. There are a few silly parts but the movie is not for yuppie-scum. "Look darlin', built ya little fry cabin!" This flick is not for the squeamish. The hammer to the dome repeatedly is pretty disturbing! "Some kind of crazy booger just skitted through here!" "It's a hit, it's a bang, it's a smash. It's Nam Land!" 10/10
Mystic River

Disappointments Abound

Warning: Spoilers
What can I say? The ending ruined this good movie. SPOILERS: Kevin Bacon's character seemed to be after Dave bigtime. When Dave was murdered, Bacon's character didn't seem to care that Dave's wife and kid were left without a husband and father. The movie also dragged a lot. The acting was pretty good in most cases except for Penn's thugs who reminded me of Ritchie from Stephen King's Thinner. Which boy actually killed the girl? This movie could have gotten a lot better rating by me if the ending was different. I wanted to sling my DVD player across the room after this movie. What the hell were you thinking Mr. Eastwood? 4/10.
