Speed Reviews

     I may have gotten a little behind on posting to this blog.  Considering most of these movies are still in theaters as of today (10/07/2019), you may be able to read a quick summary and decide if you want to see them.  So, in the order that I saw them, here are my speed reviews.

The Lion King - This was the original movie but with CGI.  The graphics were amazing, but that's the only thing about this movie that impressed me.  If you are a Disney fan, you will enjoy watching it.  All of these remakes keep happening and I've lost interest in them, especially the Disney ones.

Good Boys - This was funny, yet surprisingly serious.  While it is absolutely over-the-top with the sexual humor, the underlying story about friendship will warm you heart from beginning to end.  The adult humor does push the boundaries of what is appropriate for child actors, and in some scenes, it was very uncomfortable.  Other than that, I would recommend seeing this one.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - Not my type of movie.  I love Tarantino films, but this one lacked a plot and was a movie about characters.  Some of the scenes were very entertaining, but they didn't fit with the other scenes.  The highlight of this film, in my opinion, was when Brad Pitt's character went to an abandoned campground inhabited by a bunch of teenage runaways.  If the movie had been shorter, I think I would have liked it more.  If you loved Inglorious Bastards, you will probably like this film.

It Chapter 2 - Loved it.  Better than the first part.  I've had several debates with my friends about how this film borderlines horror and adventure.  I enjoyed it because it follows a journey.  There were a few scenes, including the opening scene, that will creep you out, but I don't know if it will scare you.  This film is three hours long, but the time goes by fast.  My favorite film of this summer.

Rambo: Last Blood -  When scrolling through movies, I had forgotten that I had seen this one.  That's how entertaining it was.

Hustlers - Surprisingly, I enjoyed this film.  It was fun.  As I expected, Cardi B and Lizzo are in the film for about ten seconds.  But still, it was cool to see the business side of hustling when the stock market crash happened into 2008.  Do you have to go to the theater to see this one?  No, but I think it has aspects that everyone will enjoy.  For instance, I enjoyed the score to this movie.  It was refreshing.
