Reviews of movie things I've watched.•Back to Reviews Page
THE RIP • First Time Viewing • 2026 • Joe Carnahan • The implausibilities and obvious impossibilities are largely overcome by the plot premise and the likability of some of the characters. Have a Kirin and watch and you'll enjoy it. ***
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy • 2011 • Tomas Alfredson • They don't make many movies like this anymore. Both intelligently written and yet not overly- wrought with twists and surprises, it's a subtly played movie staring Gary Oldman at his best, but with a stellar cast in general. Highly recommended. • Loved It!
To Live and Die in L.A. 1985 • William Friedkin • Not as good as I remembered. Everyone in this is evil, or an idiot. I didn't buy the transformation of John Vukovich. He didn't earn it. Dafoe is stellar, of course. • Decent
Wick Is Pain • 2025 • Jeffrey Doe • A fun look behind the scenes and lives of the people who made the John Wick movies. Really only these people could have made these movies. • Loved It!
Woman of the Hour • 2024 • I don't think I'd recommend it, but Anna Kendrick definitely does her part to make it worthwhile. No one ever believes a woman reporting a crime is the reality. • Liked It
