Movie Review: ****Damsel (2024)

 This movie is very enjoyable from the princess being sold? to another kingdom to marry the prince and keep the kingdom out of financial bankruptcy.  However there is more going on. than meets the eye.  Shortly after the wedding, Princess Elodie (Millie Bobby Brown) is thrown by Prince Henry (Nick Robinson) off a cliff as repayment to an ancient debt to a dragon.  However Elodie refuses to give up too easily and she in fact escapes.  However she finds that the family has taken her younger sister, Floria (Brooke Carter) as payment now and thrown her to the dragon.  Elodie goes back to face the dragon again.  However now she knows the family secret.  Henry's mother, Queen Isabelle (Robin Wright) is complicit in this evil scheme.  They have been fooling the dragon for many years by mixing the prince's blood with that of the new bride as a wedding ritual.  The dragon has insisted on a maiden every year for many years.  

I really like the characters portrayed by Millie Bobby Brown.  They are always resilient and strong, but also gentle.  I think she is a great actress.  

This is a made for Netflix movie

Movie Review: ****Mission: Impossible: Rogue Nation (2015)

 Tom Cruise and the gang are back for another adventure as they try to discover a rogue spy network called the Syndicate which is working to thin the population and destabilize governments.  An ex British agent is in charge of this terror network.  The regular crew is all back for this movie with the addition of Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson).  Faust is with British intelligence.  But British intelligence has a secret.  They funded the Syndicate until one of their agents went rogue, Lane (Sean Harris).  Lane is a worthy opponent; and there are many tense situations.  It seems they are always pulling things out at the last second.

Tom Selleck Movie Review: ***^ Runaway (1984)

 This is a very good movie about what can happen if technology goes awry; and worse if a villain is manipulating the technology.  Tom Selleck stars as Ramsay, a technology police officer, capturing runaway robots.  Cynthia Rhodes as Thompson, his partner.  The villain, Luther is portrayed by Gene Simmons of KISS.  Kristie Alley has a smaller part as Jackie, Luther's girl friend.  The technology is very scary: bullets that are programmed to your heat signature and will follow you around corners, spider like robots that squirt acid on you and tiny chips which can make any robot a killer.  And Luther is truly an evil demon.  He seems to take pride in what he has created, and the plot of the movie is he is trying to get microfilm with plans for further bad technology.  He has killed the creators of the microchips and plans and is looking for a big haul.  He even involves Ramsay's son in his evil.

Australian Movie Review: ***^Red Dog (2011)

 A dog story and a love story are always the best kind of story.  The dog in a way chose the love interest.  The dog has chosen the bus driver, John (Josh Lucas) for his master.  The dog then allows Nancy (Rachael Taylor) to sit in the front seat. beside him.  This starts a relationship which eventually leads to an engagement.  This movie is set in the outback and a mine by the ocean.  The mine has attracted and assorted range of characters.  They all seem affected by the dog, one did not suicide, one took him to the vet regularly to try and ask the vet for a date, others just like the way he listens.  Everything is good until the master, hits a kangaroo on his motor bike which causes him to crash and he dies.  The dod is then without a master, so he begins to roam the outback looking for his master, until he finally ives up and returns home to die.  The town builds a statue to honor him.  This is based on a true story.

It is a fun movie, with a tragedy, but the town and Nancy seem to recover from the tragic death.

Movie Review: ****Three Men and a Baby (1987)

 This movie is a brilliant in which three bachelors are put to the task, over night of fathering a baby.  Tom Selleck plays the architect, Peter Mitchell, Ted Danson the actor, Jack Holden and Steve Guttenberg the cartoonist, Michael Kellam.  The baby was left on the door of their high rise condo.  At the same time, Mitchell's sponsor in commercial informed him a package would arrive at his house the next day.  There is confusion between the baby and the package, which happens to be heroine.  When the drug runners come to pick it up the give them the baby with a can of formula.  When they find the package of drugs they realize their mistake and run to rescue the baby, which leads to police intervention.  They are then suspected of being drug runners.

They are able to trick the drug runners, and inform the police all at the same time.  The use a high-rise Mitchell has helped design and supervise the construction and trap the criminals in the elevator with the power off.  They get to the point where they are enjoying parenting; but then the baby's mother shows up and wants her back.  This film has a novel solution.  This movie is fun and won an award for comedy. Tom Selleck portrays a different type of character.  It is directed by Leonard Nimoy.

Clint Eastwood Movie Review: Unforgiven

 This is an "R" rated movie.  I don't usually watch movies rated "R" but made an exception as this movie won best picture andv and Clint Eastwood won for best director.  Gene Hackman won for best supporting actor.  Eastwood was nominated for best actor.

Two customers at a brothel become upset and cut a whore on the face, scarring her badly.  When the sheriff intervenes he fines the two horses to recompense the proprietor of the brothel.  Nothing for the young woman.  

So the women of the brothel raise some money, and hire some bounty hunters with $1000 award.  So Bill Munny (Eastwood) comes out of retirement at the request of a new bounty hunter, The Schofield Kid (Jaimz Wolvett).  He reluctantly agrees to do so as he is failing as a widowed farmer raising two children.  He in turn recruits his old friend,  Ned Logan (Morgan Freeman).  

Together they ride for Big Whiskey, Wyoming.  Munny takes sick and has a fever and is half conscious of things.  When they get there Munny goes to the bar while the two others head to the whore house.  Sheriff Dagget (Gene Hackman) confronts Munny.  He has heard about the hiring of bounty men by the prostitutes and wants to discourage this.  He beats up Munny.  They hear this upstairs and the two escape out the window.  The catch up with Munny and get him to a barn on the outskirts of town where they, with the help of the prostitutes nurse him back to health.  So next they extract revenge on the men who abused the prostitutes.  However Logan quits on the enterprise and heads back to Kansas where they are from.  Things do not go well for him as he is captured by some of the sheriff's men.  He is beaten severely in an attempt to get him to tell the location of Munny.  When Munny hears of this he goes to town in a sour mood to confront the sheriff.  Things turn out poorly for the sheriff and his minions.

I think the theme of this movie is that sometimes your past catches up with you.  Richard Harris plays a cameo role as English Bob who is also a bounty hunter.  However the sheriff caught him, took his gun, and whipped him before sending him out of town.

Movie Review: ***^Crossfire Trail (2001)

 This is a western movie with two men set for the same property and the same woman.  Rafe Covington is aboard ship coming into San Francisco when the captain beats his friend,  Charles Rodney, to death.  He promises his friend to look after his wife and his Wyoming ranch.  Two boat mates join him in the trip to Wyoming, Rock (David O'Hara) and J.T. (Christian Kane).  Upon arriving in Wyoming he meets an old friend of Rodney's who helped on the ranch, Joe (Wilford Brimley).  On the other side Bruce Barkow (Mark Harmon) has been wooing Mrs. Rodney (Virginia Madsen).  She is convinced her husband died a year ago rather than just a few weeks.

They take to the ranch and begin improving things and herding up the scattered herd.  However Barkow with the sheriff says they have three days to vacate.  Covington in the meantime has been wooing the widow, and trying to convince her of the story that her husband was shanghaied, by someone who wanted his property.  There is oil on the property.

Barkow hires a killer to take care of his problems--meaning the new ranchers.  He forces Mrs. Rodney to marry him even though she does not say "I do."  She also murders the bar tender, and his hired gun murders one of Covington's friends, J.T.  There is bound to be a big fight at the end.

I always like Tom Selleck, and Mark Harmon makes a very bad guy who is use to getting his way.  The Louis L'Amour movies are always entertaining.

Movie Review: ***Once I Was Engaged (2021)

 This movie is a sequel to "Once I Was a Beehive."  However while that story line focuses around the character Lane (Paris Warner) this movie centers around fellow camper Bree (Clare Niederpruem)  and her parents Curt (Bart Anderson) and Carrie Carrington (Lisa Valentine Clark).  Bree goes away to school at BYU Hawaii and is enjoying life.  She works in the aquarium with dolphins.  She has also put in her papers to serve a mission.  However her boyfriend Thys Chesterfield (Tanner Gillman) proposes to her during a performance at the Polynesian Center.  Of course she says yes, but does she really mean it.  Parents fly out from Utah to put in their opinion as she is to go on a mission etc. etc. according to mom.  This leads to a series of tough decisions.  Currently the Carringtons don't have the money to rent the country club, so the cultural hall will have to do.  However the Chesterfields are very rich.  And then the Chesterfields want to invite life long friends, which includes Thys' ex fiancé.  

This movie is fun, and it had different conflict then the Beehive movie.    Lane, the nonmember reminds Bree she has plans to serve a mission.  Beehive was a bit funner with the tensions between the girls, which is eventually resolved.

My nephew has a cameo part.  He plays the Target worker who hands out the Target guns to Bree and her mother with which they choose items for the gifts.  Dustin is a manager at a Target in Provo.

The movie is available on Living Scriptures and Prime.

Movie Review: Captain Phillips (2013)

 This movie is the retelling of the Somali pirate takeover of the ship Maersk Alabama.  Tom Hanks portrays Captain Richard Phillips and Barkhad Abdi the Captain Muse of the pirate skiff.  The defensive things the large cargo ship did in attempts to keep the pirates at bay were very interesting.  The use of hoses all around the ship and turning back and forth to knock the pirate skiff away.  However in this case the pirates did make it onboard.  Most of the crew hid, but the captain and a few of the crew were captured.  There were threats of murder, but in actuality no member of the crew was killed.  The pirates on board ship lasted a day.  The crew managed to capture Captain Muse, but in the exchange they were able to kidnap Captain Phillips and leave in the life boat.  The pirate goal is to make it to Somalia where they can hide and force an exchange for the Captain of $10 million.

They make progress but are intercepted by a U.S. Navy Destroyer.  After this they are at a standoff.  This movie comes to its tragic conclusion.  The Navy orders in the Navy Seals, and then it is just a matter of time.

Movie Review: ****The Terminal (2004)

 When you are stranded in an airport and your visa is no longer valid because your country is no more due to a coup.  Viktor Navorski finds himself in this predicament.  He may not enter the U.S. and he may not return home.  Because of the coup his passport is no longer valid.  So he lives at the airport.  At first he returns carts to collect a few coins with which to feed himself.  He befriends Enrique Cruz (Diego Luna) who is a food service worker and provides meals in exchange for help meeting an immigration officer, Dolores Torres (Zoe Zaldaña).  The conflict in this story is created by Frank Dixon (Stanley Tucci) who is the head of the U.S. Customs and seems to take pride in causing grief for Navorski.  Navorski also meets and woos a flight attendant, Amelia Warren (Katherine Zeta-Jones).  He also befriends Gupta Rajan (Kumar Pallana) who is a janitor, but in actuality is an illegal immigrant.  A theme is why does Navorski want to visit America.  Dixon wants to find out, and even interrogates Warren to find out.  Finally Navorski reveals he wants to get the signature of a jazz musician.  

A funny part of the show is that Navorski actually gets a job in the airport working construction.  He build a fountain and does many different tasks.  

Political issues finally resolve, and Dixon tells him he can go home; but not enter the United States.  Dixon sys he will persecute his friends if he does not go strait home.  Rajan gives himself up to convince him to finish his dream.  He does this, and then returns to catch a flight home.  

This story follow rather loosely the story of Mehran Nasseri who lived in the Paris airport for 18 years.  This is a good show telling the human spirit and the will to survive in difficult circumstances.

Animated Movie Review: ****Wild Robot (2024)

 This is an excellent movie about motherly love; even if you are a robot.  Roz (Lupita Nyong'o) is a robot that somehow is misdelivered to an island with no human inhabitants.  She seeks her mission, and finally finds it with being the mother to a gosling, Brightbill (Kit connor).  The other animals are wary of Roz, and anything she deals with as they are weird.  Roz however befriends a fox, Fink (Pedro Pascal).  He gives her instruction on how to raise a gosling.  Of course the hard parts are how to teach the goosling to swim and to fly.  Brightbill makes it on the annual migration.  Roz should return home to the factory, her mission complete.  However she wants to stay and make sure her gosling makes it back safe.

During this time there is a crisis in the forest with exceptional cold.  Roz brings all the animals into her home she she keeps a nice fire.  They fight and argue, but eventually learn to get along.

The day the geese return, Brightbill amongst them, the robot factory finally discover Roz, and they want her back to harvest her memories.  She has rewritten her own programming.  These leads to a large battle between the robot recovery team and the animals.  She finally agrees to go back, so as to save all the animals.  

Mark Hamill has a role as the bear who helps the animals live together in peace.

I like the relationships in this movie.  Animals who are traditional enemies learn to get along.  And a robot learns love, as does a gosling.

Movie Review: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)

 This is a very good Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) movie except for just before the end.  Indiana Jones is in pursuit of the Dial of Destiny, as is Dr. Jurgen Voller (Mads Mikkelson).  Voller is a Nazi who wants to go back in time and effect a different result to the war.  His men are unscrupulous.  They seem to kill people right and left.   They are trying to get a piece of the devise from Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge), Dr. Jones' god daughter.  She knows that her father gave the piece to him to destroy it.  Of course Dr. Jones did not destroy it, but has stored it safely in the university vaults.  Helena gets the device, and is away with it, leaving Dr. Jones to deal with the peopler chasing her.  They both get away in the end.  They all end up in Morocco, where Helena is selling her piece.  In all the action Voller ends up with the piece.  Helena has a young friend, Teddy (Ethann Isidore) she rescued from the streets when he tried to steal her purse.  

The next stop is scuba diving in order to find the other piece.  Of course our villains show up just as they are finding it.  More murders take place, Dr. Jones' friend Renaldo (Antonio Banderas).  The the hel of dynamite they are able to get away and then decipher the clue which leads them to caves in Cicily.  In the end Voller comes away with both pieces and puts them together.  He then calculates how to go back in time to 1939 as he intends to kill Hitler, thus freeing Germany from him, so they can win the war.  Dr. Jones tases him that his calculations are wrong--and in fact they are.  They over shot their time and end up in the Roman Greek war long ago.  Having gone back in time in an airplane, they meet Archimedes (Nasser Memarzia), the inventor of the Dial of Destiny, who then took it apart so it couldn't be used.  He is the only person who could help them get back to their own time.

Now the part I don't like.  Suddenly Dr. Jones wants to stay in the past.  Helena punches him in the jaw to knock him out and the take him back.  I do not think there was motivation for Dr. Jones to stay nor for Helena to knock him out.

Karen Allen as Marion and John Rhys-Davies as Sallah have cameo parts.  They were both in the first Indiana Jones.

Movie Review: ***^ Jack the Giant Slayer (2013)

 Jack (Nicholas Hoult) is a farm boy, who saves a monk by trading his horse for magic beans.  However his uncle throws the beans out, disappointed in him.  One of them grows, and the others Jack recovers.  The princess, Princess Isabelle (Eleanor Tomlinson) who is not looking forward to her arranged marriage, and is seeking adventures, happens upon Jack when she sees his light.  She ends up going to the giant kingdom in Jack's house as it grows on the top of the bean stalk.  Jack fell down and is discovered at the bottom of the bean stalk by the king (Ian McShane) the next day.

Movie Review: ***Spellbound(2024)

 This is an animated feature with Rachel Zegler portraying the Princess Ellian whose parents, the King Solon (Javier Bardem) and Queen Ellsmere (Nicole Kidman) who have been turned into monsters.  The princess and the consorts, Bolinar (John Lithgow) and  Nazara (Jenifer Lewis) are the only ones who know.  However on the princess' birthday the entire kingdom finds out.  They want to make the princess queen and exile the monsters.  The princess wants her parents restored and takes off with them following a light, to accomplish this.  The army is in pursuit.  

This movie has a twist at the end, and ends up being more about compromising, rather than getting everything back to the way it was.

This movie is available on Netflix

Movie Review: ****^A Quiet Place: Day One (2024)

 This movie also goes back in time, as did Quiet Place II for the first ten minutes.  This movie however changes location, to New York and characters as well, and doesn't get past the first few days.  Samira (Lupita Nyong'o) is a patient in a hospice.  She has cancer.  She agrees to a trip to the city as they will stop and get pizza before coming back.  They go to see a puppet show; but the hospice calls and asks them to come back as something is happenning in New York.  That something catches up to them before they can leave, as the bus is hit with something; the aliens who attack at any sound and enjoying eating people.  Samira's cat is a real character in this movie.  She is a emotional support cat, and always seems to find her way back to Samira.  The nurse staff who comes with them to the show is Reuben (Alex Wolff).  However he doesn't make it.  After Samira finds a student, Erix (Joseph Quinn) who just wants to live.  They become a team, at first trying to stay alive, then to get pizza and finally to escape.  Actually they are three with the cat.

I really like cats, consequently I really like this movie.

Available on Paramount +
