This gem from 1999 features a lot of stars. Julia Roberts, Hugh Grant, Hugh Bonneville, Emma Chambers, Richard McCabe, Rhys Ifans, Clarke Peters and Alec Baldwin among a few others.
Richard Curtis who also did Four Weddings and a Funeral along with Love Actually gives a screenplay that tells a great story about an unlikely romance between a high powered actress and a travel book shop owner. It’s a great romantic comedy.
Featuring a great cast this movie is satire at its finest. Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Tony Shalhoub and the late Alan Rickman make this movie awesome. Fandoms and cosplay have a very central role in this movie. It has a great message of life imitating art and courage…and did I mention Enrico Colantoni too?
Fly Me To The Danger Zone and Take My Breath Away this iconic movie of the 1980’s is 30 years old. Ouch, that makes me old too. Top Gun still holds up well and is packed full of stars. If you have never seen it, check it out. This is one of two movies I can deal with Tom Cruise in. Time has definitely flown by and I wonder what Maverick is doing now?
Twenty years today this movie was released and it became one of the best weather disaster movies of the era. It still has relevance today. Academy Award winner Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton are excellent in this movie about a estranged couple who go out and to chase the big tornado. The late Philip Seymour Hoffman plays a great supporting role.
This is one of my favorite movies because of the action, the story, the effects and the actors.
This is funny and stupid. Perfect for a dude. Great entertainment.
Ninety percent of the world is prey and 10 percent is predator at least that is what the movie Zootopia says about the world it exists in. I tend to say that is about what it is in the real world. Some of us are prey, some of us are predators. Can we live with each other? I don’t know but what I do know is that predators can make life hard for the weak and defenseless.
Zootopia is a delightful movie with a lot of social messages. It’s about opportunity, equality, cooperation, family, love and peace. The core of this movie is the dream of a female rabbit wanting to make the world a better place. I can dig that. Animals coexisting with one another in a place where the balance of life is a part of its utopia. This movie has a great cast and is very well done. I find it better than “Frozen” and “UP”.
On a personal note: After spending a few days in the Universal Studios ecosphere I felt like I betrayed them somehow.
