DIRECTOR: Jon Favreau

MAIN CAST:Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde

IMDB Story line

A spaceship arrives in Arizona, 1873, to take over the Earth, starting with the Wild West region. A posse of cowboys and natives are all that stand in their way.


WHAT I LIKED


Is that this was a thinking out of the box fun western SCI-FI movie. This was bigger then a shoot out at high noon behind the OK Corral. This was survival. This movie tells the movie goer that know matter how much advanced weapons you have, sometimes you have to think like a cowboy to win. I really like the quality of the actors.That for me made this movie a success and come together.


WHAT I DID NOT LIKE


The movie was considered a flop at the box office, but not every movie made can be considered Oscar worthy. To me it was a great quality movie. It was not one of my all time favorites but I enjoyed it. So there was nothing I really did not like.


SIDE NOTES


I did see the movie in the theater and bought the Blue Ray. It was given a weak rating of PG-13. I think this could be a great adventures family movie depending on your family values. I gave the movie a 10 on the IMDB scale

MOVIE REVIEW: The Hateful Eight

RELEASE DATE: December 30th 2015

DIRECTOR: Quentino Tarantino

MAIN STARS: Samuel L Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh

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
