Don't Look Up (2021)
SparrowsSong 13 points 2 years ago.

Pretty close and accurate imagination in my view.

Better Off Dead (1985)
SparrowsSong 6 points 3 years ago.

Timeless classic comedy with some classic lines
“Now that’s a shame when folks be throwing away a perfectly good white boy”

Untamed Heart (1993)
SparrowsSong 5 points 3 years ago.

Nice love story. Listen to your own heart, not others opinions. A bit over acted in areas, but I liked the cast. I’d watch it again.

The Unforgivable (2021)
SparrowsSong 5 points 2 years ago.

Thanks to the uploader. Wonderfully told story of heartbreak, tragedy, and selflessness. Worth the watch.

Léon: The Professional (1994)
SparrowsSong 5 points 3 years ago.

Great story, great cast. One of Luc Besson’ best. This is the movie that introduced me to Jean Reno and Gary Oldman. Am a fan of the both of them. Hats off to a very young Natalie Portman as well.

The Witch (2016)
SparrowsSong 6 points 2 years ago.

I liked it. Good, creepy story. I loved the way this was shot and all the casts performance. Would be nice to see another.

Halloween Kills (2021)
SparrowsSong 6 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Wasn’t a fan of this. The acting was sub par at best. Haddonfield… the town that never learns. Chop his frigg’n head off… full dismemberment… scatter the pieces and be done with it. I know, I know… it wasn’t in the script. 2.5 stars

Groundhog Day (1993)
SparrowsSong 4 points 2 years ago.

Was an instant classic when it premiered, and it still holds up. Murray at his best.

Gladiator (2000)
SparrowsSong 4 points 2 years ago.

Great story backed by an elite cast who brought perfect emotion and feel to this piece. This should be one of Ridley Scott’s proudest works/achievements.

Jumper (2008)
SparrowsSong 4 points 3 years ago.

Very good movie. I’m surprised this storyline didn’t spawn sequels. Definitely worth the watch.

Sleepers (1996)
SparrowsSong 4 points 3 years ago*.

Such a great movie and so well done. Hats off to Barry Levinson. I saw this movie in the theater when it came out without knowing anything about it at all. That set a precedent for me not wanting to see trailers/highlights of films that are being hyped up, which is tough to do. I can’t believe this movie only has a 3.5 star rating here. But, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and Ocean’s 11 has a 4.0 star? You gotta be kidding me!

Three's Company (1977)
SparrowsSong 3 points 3 years ago.

I’ve never gotten enough of these shows. Which is pretty amazing considering I can’t stand sitcoms.

Bill Burr: Paper Tiger (TV Special 2019) (2019)
SparrowsSong 3 points 2 years ago.

One of the all time greats. I can’t remember what 1st turned me on to his comedy, but I’m so glad I gave his shows a watch. Cause, usually I’m pretty loyal to only a certain group of standup comedians. He will certainly go down as a legendary comic, and this show at the famous Royal Albert Hall reflects his comedic genius. Highly recommended.

War Dogs (2016)
SparrowsSong 3 points 2 years ago.

Not bad. Good story. I’d watch it again. Nobody cares… until there’s a problem… and someone has to answer.

Moneyball (2011)
SparrowsSong 3 points 2 years ago.

This story was a no-brainer to become a movie. Great story, great cast. A MUST watch.

Horrible Bosses (2011)
SparrowsSong 3 points 3 years ago.

Good comedy. They could do a whole other movie on just the Charlie Day and Jennifer Aniston story line. That was hilarious! Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day are great together. I’d watch it again.

Shoot to Kill (1988)
SparrowsSong 3 points 3 years ago.

A lot of locations covered in this good action thriller with a great cast. Headed up by the veteran Sidney Poitior. I’d watch it again.

Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
SparrowsSong 3 points 3 years ago.

I really loved this movie. Shot in the same spirit as the original, and expanding on the storyline of the original as well. Loved everyone’s performance, but if I had to nit-pic, I wasn’t too crazy about Jared Leto’s performance in this. His attempt at trying to be an eccentric was low production to me. Harrison should have won something for that scene he had with Leto though. I really felt his emotion during that segment. That was probably the best I’ve ever seen Harrison Ford perform. Loved Ryan’s performance as well as Sylvia Hoeks, whom I thought kicked a$$ in her role. I’d give this movie 4 to 4.5 stars

Stillwater (2021)
SparrowsSong 3 points 2 years ago.

Good movie, tragic story. Well acted, but nothing award worthy.

True Romance (1993)
SparrowsSong 3 points 3 years ago.

Loaded cast of A-listers. Great story that had a little something for everyone. Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken provide one of the most classic/iconic/intense scenes I’ve ever seen. Now this was a movie…

Ted (2012)
SparrowsSong 3 points 3 years ago.

A solid go-to when ever you want a smile and laugh. Makes me miss Boston too.

Sleepy Hollow (1999)
SparrowsSong 3 points 2 years ago.

Instant Classic when it first premiered. This is my favorite Tim Burton movie. Great story, script, and cast to perfection. A staple for Halloween time.

Cruella (2021)
SparrowsSong 6 points 2 years ago*.

Didn’t really get in to this. I had high expectations for a storyline that wasn’t fulfilled. Love Emma Stone. As she’s also the actress sweetheart type that Disney wants their image projected around, but in my opinion, anyone could have played this role. Maleficent was better.

Reign of Fire (2002)
SparrowsSong 3 points 3 years ago.

I really love this movie. Have always loved sword and sorcery stories. This is that with a modern twist and a dose of realism. The best dragons I’ve seen on video since Dragon Slayer. Highly recommended.

Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)
hellsingfan01 4 points 3 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

You do realise that this is A Godzilla / King Kong / Kaiju movie right nobody goes into any of these movies expecting a great plot we just want to see monsters fighting each other and that’s exactly what this film gives us.

SparrowsSong 3 points 3 years ago.

I’m almost 50 years old… so in answer, yes, I do have a grasp that these types of movies aren’t oscar contending. “Nobody” goes into any of these movies expecting a great plot “we” just want to see… You sure are speaking for a lot of people. Just leave me out of your groupings. Enjoy!

Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)
SparrowsSong 3 points 3 years ago.

I made it to the 30 minute mark before the stupidity of it all became too overwhelming. This is a kids action movie. Disney-esque in dialog and humor. It’s not for me.

The Muse (1999)
SparrowsSong 2 points 3 years ago.

Cute movie. A quintessential Albert Brooks type of movie/comedy. Loved all the cameos too. 3 to 3.25 stars.

Game of Thrones (2011)
SparrowsSong 2 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Pretty cool mini series. Just finished the entire thing. I like that the story wasn’t commercialized with a “And they all lived happily ever after” ending. Original, unique, exciting, captivating, and epic tale. It had it’s dull moments sure, and some of the sequences went off the beaten path for my taste, but a very good story I must say. I was just frothing at the mouth to see that power drunk, smug, bitch Cersei Lannister get what was coming to her. Though she deserved much worst…

The Woman in Red (1984)
SparrowsSong 2 points 3 years ago.

Adorable movie and great cast! Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner still at their comedic best.

Nick Swardson: Taste It (2015)
SparrowsSong 2 points 3 years ago.

Hilarious.

Silver Linings Playbook (2012)
SparrowsSong 2 points 2 years ago.

Loved it. All the little innuendoes… There’s no such thing as normal, and it would be boring if there were. Nice on-screen chemistry between Cooper and Lawrence.

Endless Love (1981)
SparrowsSong 2 points 2 years ago.

True love in it’s most beautiful, raw, and simple form. Something seen as dangerous, ugly, and illegal today. Perverse minds have ruined it, and that way of thinking kills the soul of it. Shirley Knight (mother) does a wonderful job at portraying exactly what I mean. Great performances by all. Beautiful and tragic story.

Fright Night (1985)
SparrowsSong 2 points 3 years ago.

This is a horror classic, and one of my Halloween go-to movies. Loved Chris Sarandon as the charismatic, modern day vampire. He was excellent in this role. A lot of the makeup and effects still hold up today.

Oscar (1991)
SparrowsSong 2 points 2 years ago*.

All-star lineup and cute comedy. This role was really out of place for Stallone at that time, but I thought he and everyone else did great. Has Peter Riegert ever NOT made an impression? Loved Eddie Bracken’s role too.

Salem's Lot (1979)
SparrowsSong 2 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Classic. Looks like it was made for TV/edited for commercials. 3hrs and 20 minutes…GEEZ!!! I remember as a kid, watching the young boy rise up from the coffin in the ground. Right when that happened, all I said was “Mom!”… and she said “I know” and went over and turned the channel. Lol, I must have been about 8-9 years old. More music driven suspense then horror. But still a classic for Vampire fans.

An American Werewolf in London (1981)
SparrowsSong 1 points 3 years ago.

Obviously with John Landis (Coming to America, Animal House, Blues Brothers, Trading Places, Spies Like Us) at the helm, you know there’s going to be some comedic elements, even in a horror/monster movie. The transformation scene was ground breaking. I loved the story and the cast did an exceptional job. One of my go-to movies around Halloween. I highly recommend this.

Reality Bites (1994)
snazzydetritus 2 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Spent 1 1/2 hours hate-watching this contribution to society for the first time since it came out in ‘94. There’s manic-pixie-nightmare-waif Winona Ryder, who seems somehow to turn men into helpless, jealous simps. There’s Ethan Hawke who is in deep love with himself and mutters dozens of cute, not-cute lines. Bad acting and bad writing explode. This movie is basically what some square screenwriters thought Generation X was all about. Good for a laugh, though.

SparrowsSong 1 points 2 years ago.

I would have to agree. I’m generation X, and I can’t stand these types of people. The arrogant all-knowing, self righteous, pricks that go over the top with their self image of themselves. Artists? Hardly… they’re just a$$holes who memorized some big words off the TV and let a little bit of originality go to their heads. There’s nothing unique about them. Stiller’s character was the only one who’s heart was in the right place I thought. But of course he was made out to be the enemy conformist. And I didn’t even get a good laugh.

Enemy at the Gates (2001)
SparrowsSong 1 points 3 years ago.

Pretty good movie. I’m not familiar with the actual sniper himself, so I don’t know exactly how much of the story is accurate. His story is definitely worth living forever on film.

Malignant (2021)
SparrowsSong 1 points 2 years ago.

OMG…ayfkm?!?! Hollywood is this hard up that they’re reaching these levels of dumb? Started out good though. That’s about all I can say. If there’s a sequel, I’ll have a good laugh and skip it.

Footloose (1984)
SparrowsSong 1 points 3 years ago.

80’s classic with a kicka$$ soundtrack.

The Wrong Missy (2020)
SparrowsSong 1 points 3 years ago.

Love David Spade stand-up, but not really in these roles where he plays a square. I could say the same for Nick Swardson also. Good (not great) comedy though. Has it’s moments. I’d watch it again.

Goon (2012)
SparrowsSong 1 points 2 years ago.

Had some really funny moments. I’d watch it again.

The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989)
SparrowsSong 1 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

The Bridges brothers were fantastic in this, as well as Michelle Pfeiffer as the front woman with the seductive and sultry voice… was a shoe-in. Perfect fit. Great movie, great story. As a musician myself, I can tell you all right now… when love/sex makes it’s way in to a band/professional partnership… the clock is ticking, and I bet it doesn’t make it far.

The Collector (2009)
SparrowsSong 1 points 2 years ago.

In the spirit of the Saw saga, this movie is very good. Loved the story (though a lot of holes) and I thought the cast was pretty good. Lots of memorable scenes.

Riding Giants (2004)
SparrowsSong 1 points 3 years ago.

Hats off to Stacy Peralta. Excellent documentary on the evolution of big wave surfing and the pioneers that live for that adrenalin rush. Loved this!

Billy Crystal: 700 Sundays (2014)
SparrowsSong 1 points 2 years ago.

Absolutely phenomenal! What a rich life he has to look back on. The great characters and talent that helped shape and guide him along. I wish I could thank him for sharing this very personal look in to his life. How he did this from start to finish without losing it… I’ll never know. Have always loved Billy Crystal ever since I 1st watched When Harry Met Sally. He’s been one of my favorites ever since. It’s a shame to not see him as prominent as he once was.

Coldblooded (1995)
SparrowsSong 1 points 3 years ago*.

Loved this movie. Great cast and storyline. Wish this was out on DVD.

A Haunting (2005) S1 E2
SparrowsSong 1 points 2 years ago.

I love this retelling! I remember watching the premier and being totally captivated by the story enough to look up the actual place… which didn’t fit what I had imagined at all. I highly recommend this episode.

The Big Chill (1983)
SparrowsSong 1 points 3 years ago*.

Great actors working their craft. These were people of substance. Think we’ll ever see anything like this from all the Disney acting generation who seem to be monopolizing the field? Ha…

Frailty (2002)
SparrowsSong 1 points 2 years ago.

A MUST watch for anyone who has not seen this movie. Bill Paxton (R.I.P.) should have been very proud of this film. Casted with some of his Texas friends. One of my favorites.
