MY REVIEW

I love a disaster movie where things go wrong and people are forced to help other people. This is what happens in Poseidon. Hope is fading fast and someone has a crazy ideal to move on or die. You can listen to someone of authority or someone that knows how the ship is built and whats going to break. You have the perfect amount of a backstory to know what survivors are thinking when they have to make a choice. To me this was a great action movie like the ones they made in the 70's. This movie was never going to win any Oscars, but it was a fun movie to watch and I can watch it over and over again. Depending on your family standards this could be a perfect family movie. I think they could remake this movie once every 5 years with different story lines like the Airport series of the 70's

MOVIE REVIEW: The Hateful Eight

DIRECTOR: Quentino Tarantino

IMDB Story Line

In the dead of a Wyoming winter, a bounty hunter and his prisoner find shelter in a cabin currently inhabited by a collection of nefarious characters.

WHAT I LIKED:

How is it possible for anyone to have anything to say anything bad about a movie that Quentin Tarantino directed? His movie always have a simple great story line and people get brutally killed or murdered. As always when bad things happen in a Tarantino movie, I always feel cold alone and isolated and that is the way Tarantino brings the viewer in to his world and yet not repeat the same story line over and over again. Tarantino has like a template for great movie making and he never gets it wrong. You can always count on something going horribly right or wrong depending on the situation. Over all I am a Tarantino fan and I liked everything he did in the movie.

WHAT I DID NOT LIKE

Nope not going there, it was all good

SIDE NOTES

This is one of those movies I wish I had seen on the big screen, but I did buy the Blue Ray. It was Rated R for obvious reasons, and it was well deserved, and in no way could I recommend as a family movie but families like mine will watch it together.

I gave this movie a 10 on the IMDB scale
