The Alamo (2004)
It would have been 8 but too many rewrites of history
I will leave it simple, it wasn't the Texicans that burned Mexican villages and homes, it was Santa Ana. He was an evil general and a vile human. Period. He lost and like the coward he was, he bargained for his life. One thing they got right, Davey Crockett didn't surrender like a weakling, Santa Ana did.
Rambo: Last Blood (2019)
Superb, about time
After reading another review that claimed "the border is nowhere near as porous or open as this film suggests", I think maybe I need to bring some reality home. Have you watched the stream of illegals entering in broad daylight since our current illegitimate president took office? No? Well, maybe you should try and accept reality. The border is far more porous than the film suggests. Never the less, the film is brilliant. I just love it when a movie star decides to buck Hollyweirds elite and provoke those of you on the left who seem only capable of hating your own nation. Watch it, accept the reality of the despotic nation south of our border, truly a nation of crime ruled by drug cartels and well, cowards if we're to accept the facts. I'd give it 15 stars if I could. Hope you love this review, I know you will, haha.
Shin Gojira (2016)
Yikes, what a mess!
First of all, I was so excited when they said we in the USA were going to get a chance to see this movie, what a disappointment. The DUMBEST looking Godzilla since Godzilla 98 and also, all that ridiculous dialog about what to do. Now, for a slight spoiler, the Woman sent from the USA is Japanese descent, she makes comments clearly blaming the USA for Nagasaki and Hiroshima, last I heard, JAPAN attacked the USA, not the other way around. I feel no guilt what so ever for the actions of the US Military in WWII against either Japan or Germany. Got it? The fault for Nagasaki and Hiroshima falls entirely on the Japanese government and many of the Japanese people of that era, period. Avoid at all costs, a real stinker. Better to watch the old Godzilla movies, the movies they made for kids, at least they are supposed to be corny.
Vals Im Bashir (2008)
Anti Semitic garbage.
I know what you will say, "But he's an Israeli", Really? We have Americans that hate America, self hating individuals are in every nation, this movie shows only one half of the story. The Jews fought for the land, they won, that's it. For many years the land was desolate and unused, but because Jews decided to retake land that was ALWAYS theirs, the Arabs surrounded them and attempted to destroy them. The Jews won, get over it, and if you try and accuse me of racism, I'm 1/2 Arab.
The Call of the Wild (2020)
Excellent fun.
I went into this movie hoping for a non pc, non political adventure movie and that's exactly what I got. I watched this movie with my girlfriend, a wonderful, understanding, magnanimous woman who I find irresistible(If you are wondering, I added this to get points with my girlfriend). Ahem! Uh, she just said I'm losing points :(. Well, again, back to the review, I read some reviews that suggested this movie is boring and light on action, I would say that is quite unfair. The movie isn't all action, it builds the characters well, which is important in a movie that stems from a great book such as Call of the Wild. While it isn't for everyone, what movie could be said to be for everyone? Though popular, Star Wars is NOT for everyone, I'd say this movie is for anyone who loves adventure, beautiful scenery(even CGI), animals, dogs especially and it is very funny throughout. 10 Stars, I enjoyed it fully, wouldn't change one thing.
Why Him? (2016)
Garbage, pure and simple.
If you think profanity and the rantings of an 8 year old going on 30 is funny, go for it. Franco is weird enough without all the tats and the foul language. Glad Spiderman kicked his can around the block. Save yor money and time.
The One (2001)
Delusional liberals, Al Gore.
If you never saw this stinker before, watch for Al Gore, you won't believe how delusional the holly-weird types are, I need not say more, you'll understand when you see it. The movie is horrible. Silly.
The Naked Runner (1967)
Movie would have got 10, but the ending, yeesh!
I have always liked Sinatra's acting, regardless of the pompous know it all critics here and elsewhere. However, the ending, really? Am I the only one that was let down with it? I won't say why, I think if you are a normal male(maybe even females would have the same reaction?) You'll know exactly what I mean without spoiling it for you. Still, I enjoyed the movie, I had missed this one. My favorite is Von Ryans Express, if you never saw it before, give it a try . 7/10 for me. Still worth the time.
Saved! (2004)
Ignore reviews to the contrary, anti Christian
This IS anti Christian, any movie with a title like "Saved" showing Christians in a negative light, is definitely anti Christian. There would be no other reason for this. If the movie were "pro-Christian", the theme would have been "do not judge" meaning, do not judge others without first judging yourself. You see, Jesus never did leave it at "do not judge" He clearly said do not judge, but judge righteously. He meant that you are not in the position of judge, He is, have to judge actions, becoming pregnant without marriage is a sin for both the man and the woman, because they are committing fornication according to the Bible. But that doesn't mean Christians are to judge the person unworthy or to ostracize the sinner, because the Christian is ALSO a sinner. A person is saved by grace, not good works. Therefore God chose to save sinners because HE is good. Why not simply make a movie that makes the statement that a Christian behaving as Christ would act with compassion, not judgement? Because this movie obviously seeks to shame Christianity. By the way, if you don't obey Christs teachings, you're NOT a Christian, your profession is false if you do not obey. No, making mistakes and sinning doesn't mean you're not a Christian, but if you do not in general obey God, how can you say you truly believe in Him? Avoid this stinker like the plague if you are a Christian, or continue being deceived by the anti-Christian left.
Cardboard Boxer (2016)
Excellent movie, but one major problem.
First of all, the acting, script and subject matter of this movie puts it on par with any big budget movie I can think of. My only problem is the obvious anti-Christian portrayal of two people the lead character comes into contact with. Christianity isn't a person preaching on the street telling others about Christ and leaving them in their dire situation without doing anything else. Real Christians do preach on the street, but they also try to tend to the needs of others by providing food, clothing, a place to rest, medical care etc. This movie makes it seem as if the only thing Christians are concerned with is the eternal soul. While that is the primary concern of Christianity, the needs of people are also primary to the belief in Christ. Because Christ spent so much of His time feeding, clothing, healing those in need, His followers are called upon to do the same thing. When Jesus said "Follow Me", He was commanding His followers(believers/Christians) to follow in His footsteps, to live as He did. That doesn't mean you have to be a carpenter or live on the street, it means you live as much as possible as He did, and He helps you do this. It is impossible for man to please God, but when You accept Jesus as your Savior and Lord, Jesus' righteousness is applied to your life, God now only sees Jesus, His perfect Son. Watch the end of the movie, that is how a Christian behaves. No spoilers, just watch the movie, very fine movie, but add, God DOES care and He DOES command His followers to also care for others.
Mowgli (2018)
Sick animal rights trash.
If you want to see animals elevated above mankind, watch it, if not, don't bother. So let me get this straight, so Mowgli decides that because man hunted an animal, he will turn animals against another man, right? Sounds like the nonsense going on about that white lion that a big game hunter wanted to hunt. People who care this much for animals disgust me. Not one of them would care about all the abortions committed in the name of women's rights, but they care about a filthy animal? Pure garbage, I wasted my time.
In the Valley of Elah (2007)
More from anti-American TLJ
As usual, the military is under attack by Hollywood's finest, this time the always opinionated(left wing) Tommy Lee Jones. Honestly, I don't know what all the hype is about, this guy is at best a 2nd rate actor and when he does put in a good performance, you can credit the writer for his performance. He is a little squirt of a man that fancies himself a tough guy, like Robert De Niro, he spends his time pushing the agenda of the democrat party, no thanks, I've met real tough guys, they're mostly Marines who would laugh in this mans face. Mr. Jones, if the United States has no right to a southern border, then what of Mexico? Why don't you crusade for open borders in Mexico? God knows, they'd love you there, I'm sure most Texans would be delighted if you moved to Mexico, I know I would. If I could have given this zero stars, I would. Include his The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, my rating would be in negative double digits. From me to you Mr. Jones, I'm not impressed, tough you're not, ignorant? Yes. Ignorant of the facts, that a nation must at any cost secure its borders or it will cease to be a nation. Ignorant of the fact that in a war the innocent often suffer with the guilty. But to blame the hero's for that fact is ludicrous. That's like blaming a police officer who while chasing a fleeing felon, has a car accident in which an innocent civilian is injured or killed and rather than blaming the fleeing felon, you blame the officer, even if he/she took every precaution they could to avoid such a tragedy. No, Hollywood, you know nothing concerning real life, you're all playing dress up, stop taking yourselves too seriously, I'm sure over 50% of Americans fell the same way as I do, shut up, dress up and act, no need to bore us with your inane political babble. Cheers all!
Venom (2018)
I haven't seen it yet, however
I would say though I haven't seen the movie, since it was just released locally, that the movie will be worth seeing. However, the trailer shows me that the average young person, sorry to say , isn't very intelligent. So Venom would "crush everyone else"? Really? The most powerful super hero in the MCU is Hulk, Thanos is not a super hero, he's a super villain. I'm pretty sure Thanos would slam Venom like a rag doll, as would hulk. What is with the young generation and "dark heroes"? You know, those "anti-hero" types who represent amorality? Like "the Dark Knight", why is that character so popular with young audiences? Because the younger generation do not understand that there IS good and evil. If they had lived during the WWII era, they MIGHT think differently, or possibly WWII would have ended in a victory for evil since I doubt today's generation has the courage or sand to fight for what is right. Just my opinion, but while the WWII generation is the greatest generation, I'd say today's youth represents the nothing generation. Truth hurts.
Calibre (2018)
Would have had 10 stars, lousy ending
Sorry, I'm a person who cannot stand any movie that ends unjustly. Call me a cowboy, but justice must be done. This was sick, without giving anything away, it would have been great if justice had been done. It was not. Waste your money if you wish, I wouldn't watch it again.
Black Hawk Down (2001)
Not quite a 10
The only reason I didn't give this the full thumbs up is that I would have had the real story turn out a bit different. Atto or whatever his name was, the captured arms dealer, wouldn't have been smoking a cigarette, smugly as if to say I told you so, instead he would have been in the stocks, the type used in the dark ages, no water and when he asked for water, he would have been "water-boarded" until he cried for his mama. If it were up to me, the US military's only rule of engagement would be win at all costs, always make a move before the enemy. But idiots in Washington won't allow that, they're too worried about what the rest of the world might think. For instance, Russia and China, both regimes that persecute their own people. No, the only time the USA should go to war is if we intend to win period, no rules of engagement, no rules what so ever, war isn't fair, it shouldn't be, make it brief and make sure we come home every time as the winner.
The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005)
If you believe the USA has no right to a border, you will love it.
Well, unless you are a liberal, or you are a conservative with your head firmly up your keester, you will likely despise this move as much as I do, along with the left wing lunatic, Tommy (I think I'm a cowboy) Jones. As usual, Jones makes plenty of nasty comments about border patrol officers the same way he did in one of the Men In Black pictures, totally out of place in a comedy by the way. He obviously joins democrats in embracing those who have zero respect for the US border. If Jones and the effeminate Barry Pepper think that Mexico is so fabulous, full of the best the world has to offer, why not move? I know that IMDB is full of left wing lunatics, likely the staff shares Jone's left wing politics, but maybe even left wing fools can grasp the fact that no nation without a border has ever existed, it never will. There is NO utopia, it isn't possible. The United States Constitution applies ONLY to CITIZENS of the United States of America and those who have immigrated legally have the permission of the government to conduct business in the USA or even apply for citizenship. Why is it only Mexicans are allowed to flaunt law? Why not Africans? How about Israelis? No? I didn't think so. This movie is about democrat voter roles, the democrats care nothing for the USA, they simply want power, uninterrupted power. And millions of illegal aliens can give them this power and that is why they are for open borders, no other reason. The Democrat party, party of slavery, Jim Crow, Plessy VS Ferguson/separate but equal, segregation etc etc etc. The high and mighty democrats have a history of racism, while Republicans have always stood for freedom AND the law. If you don't allow this post, you're an idiot.
The Sand Pebbles (1966)
Good movie, but
Great movie, but to those who call America "imperialist", tell me,how many Chinese agreed with that accusation AFTER they experienced the full weight of Communist domination? I bet none. Like the Soviet Union, not many migrate to China, but everyone wants to come to "imperialist" America, hmm. Odd, isn't it?
The Little Vampire 3D (2017)
If you root for criminals and despise law enforcement, this is for you.
I am pretty sure if you think about this movies theme, you would probably come to the same conclusion, the writers root for criminals and despise authority. First of all, Vampires survive how? Feeding off of others, right? Usually it doesn't end well for the victim/dinner, right? So I think we can immediately dispense with PC nonsense and clearly state our hero is a blood sucking type of personality, only in this case, it is literal. So how am I supposed to sympathize with the hero when I know that if he wins the day, I lose? Answer, not possible. Silly premise, yes, I know, it's only animation. Still, Holly-weird types are constantly trying to influence people, especially the young. I wouldn't bother, I gave it 3 instead of 1 just to be generous.
Constantine (2005)
Problem, taking the Bible, hacking it up for entertainment and fable
I have read other reviews, one in particular basically says that the movie wasn't meant to be gospel(the truth) but rather entertainment, I get that. However, the FACT that Heaven is real, God is real and Satan is real, regardless of whether or not YOU believe, makes it a serious matter to propagate the fables of the Catholic church and to trifle with the truth written in the word of God. There is a Satan, he is a fallen angel. Men do NOT become angels when they die. No amount of good deed will EVER win you a trip to heaven, in fact, if you count on your deeds to earn your way to heaven, you will be disappointed and find yourself in the place referred to as hell. That's right. Only Jesus can offer eternal salvation to those who accept Him and His death on the cross to pay for all sin. No amount of good deeds will make you MORE saved or less saved. But with ONLY good deeds, you WILL be lost forever UNLESS you repent. That is the ONLY message of the Bible. It isn't about punishing yourself for past sin, trust me, if you sinned, you punished yourself. There is always consequences for sin, some worse than others. Murderers are often judged and receive the death penalty, but even a murderer CAN and WILL be saved if he/she TRULY believes in Christs immaculate birth, righteous life and His own sacrificial death on the Cross. And add to that, His resurrection on the 3rd day. Yes, it is real, it is serious and making a movie DELIBERATELY PERVERTING the scripture is WRONG. Sorry, but the truth isn't always the way you wish it to be. Now you have heard the truth of the Gospel, now it is in YOUR hands to decide. No one can make a decision for you except you. We all must appear before God at the judgment. But if you receive Jesus as your personal savior(not a priest who is every bit the sinner as you and I happen to be), but go to the HIGHEST priest, Jesus, He and He alone forgives sin. Do NOT accept fables, believe the truth.
The Green Berets (1968)
Fine movie, despite the know nothing critics.
Some(leftists) will tell you the movie is inaccurate in that it shows the USA in a positive light and the VC in a negative light. They'll claim that both sides were morally equal or worse, that the VC was an innocent victim of "American Imperialism". Well, my guess is that the ONLY Vietnam Vet they have heard from is the traitor John F. Kerry. That's right, a traitor and he deserved none of the honor bestowed on him. His injuries during the conflict are on par with a scraped leg while playing football or a nick from a potato peeler. He lied about the "atrocities" carried out by US forces, the Swift boaters told the truth, then the media and the Democrat party set out to destroy REAL heroes, real Vietnam Vets who fought bravely against communist domination of yet another region of the earth. Pathetic liberals ALWAYS side with our enemies. It is obvious that if democrats EVER totally get their way, the USA will truly be irrelevant as a world power. I also disagree with the person who said Mel Gibson's "We Were Soldiers" was better, no it wasn't. It was AS good, but both movies were important. Mel Gibson's movie was more realistic, yes, but Mr. Wayne's movie was more helpful since at the time the filthy, lying, traitorous US media was trashing our Veterans and they succeeded in even brain washing some veterans of Vietnam. I have met Vets of Vietnam that bought the entire line the liberal democrats were pushing. But it simply wasn't true. The USA was in Southeast Asia by request, YES, the South DID ask for our help, and it was right to give it. Too bad we allowed a bunch of left wing, maggot infested, hippies stand in the way of victory for the USA and some measure of freedom for the poor people of South Vietnam.
