CarGo (2017)
Sad Little Film
There's little to like about CarGo. My 5 year old and 8 year old grandsons wouldn't even watch with much interest. Haley Joel Osment, Edward Asner, and Melissa Joan Hart's voices added positive to the film.
The script was disjointed, the message was too similar to Cars 3, the songs seemed a rip-off from other film favorites, and the cheesy references to other famous films, like "The Shawshank Redemption", seemed forced and too obvious.
I'd suggest you not waste your money.
Shades of Blue (2016)
Don't waste your time!!!
Wish they had a 0. People who want to watch Lopez on any screen will certainly tune in, but this is by far the worst police drama my husband and I ever watched. Why do they need to paint such a terrible picture of officers. If you believe this drama, everyone is dirty... on the take.... inept... and a maniac!! Someone somewhere thought they could sell more advertising time by combining a popular female artist, and perverse police officers. There were no redeeming qualities, and the hardest part of watching such a terrible program, was needing to fill 10 lines of comment on it. Not sure why they require lengthy conversations. Sometimes, just saying "we didn't like it" should be enough.
As Dreamers Do (2014)
Sparks of Hope
I adore Walt Disney and how his dreams became reality. A great man like Walt Disney deserves a wonderful film to highlight his achievements. There were some inspirational moments in the film. Unfortunately, it was filled with less than stellar acting.
At one point Walt Disney is sitting with a little girl in front of a white drawing board and talks with her about imagination. He says he hopes "we meet your expectations". Wish this film had met mine.
The movie ends prematurely. It should have moved forward through the heartache to the successes. It's the moment things started going his way we all long to see.
As one good Christian watching out after another, this film does offer many positives, but it missed the mark.
