My Review of "Jerry Seinfeld: 24 Hours to Kill"
Jerry Seinfeld: 24 Hours to Kill was kind of a shock because I haven't seen a Jerry Seinfeld comedy special in a long time. I remember loving his comedy back in the day. His jokes were always clean and very observational. Obviously I was curious to see what he would have to say about life today. The comedy now has changed so much, I wasn't sure how well he would do.

My Review of "Dante's Peak"
Dante's Peak came out back in 1997. It was a time when disaster movie's were the big thing because the year before Twister was a huge hit. Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton were probably at the height of their careers. This movie should have been a slam dunk. That's probably why I wanted to see it back in the day. I also like disaster movies for some reason.

My Review of "How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World"
How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World is the third movie of the popular How to Train Your Dragon series. It feels very much like the finale to conclude the series however I believe Dreamworks will probably try to milk this franchise for what it's worth with TV shows. I can't blame them it is a very family friendly franchise that seems to have legs.

My Review of "Warrior"
Warrior has been suggested to me by so many people. It's also placed in a ton of top 10's of many YouTubers. Apparently it's a guys version of a tearjerker movie. I don't know why but it never really appealed to me despite the fact that I do love sports movies. I think it may have been because the movie has been hyped so much.

Family values and a lot of wine.
Okay, so I want to become a master sommelier. Is that like a pirate? No, that’s a Somalian. I don’t have a thing for wine. Never had. Even an excellent wine, recommended by connoisseurs, won’t appeal to me. I never liked the taste of it. Why the hell would I watch a movie that focuses on the world of wines? Well, it’s just a coincidence. I discovered “Uncorked” while browsing Netflix and thought I’d give it a shot. And also because I didn’t make the link between the movie title and the whole wine happening. To be honest, I wasn’t overly enthusiastic about the part about getting a sommelier diploma. The barbecue restaurant storyline, on the other hand, was mouth-watering. And as the film progressed, my hunger pangs intensified. And that didn’t happen since “Chef”.

My Review of "Bleeding Steel"
Bleeding Steel is a low budget action movie that stars Jackie Chan so I was expecting non-stop action. That is kind of what I got with this movie. I had to remind myself that it's the action that I'm looking for but what kind of action can I expect from a guy in his mid 60's. Shocking a lot! Still this is a really uneven movie with tons of weird inconsistencies that give this movie that can seem a little too far fetched.

Let's bury this devilish game once and for all.
If you touch my boobs, I will murder you! Too late! That was the first thing I did. In recent years, the terms “Remake” and “Reboot” have become very popular in Hollywood. Much to my annoyance. In most cases, these knockoffs are just a shadow of the original. Not to say abominably bad and horrible to look at. The biggest example of this (for me personally anyway) is the movie “Ghostbusters” from 2016. If Bill Murray was no longer among the living, he would have turned around in his grave. A needless copy without humor and full of recycled ideas. A few years ago when I was told that a remake was being made of the famous film “Jumanji” (with the unparalleled Robin Williams in a leading role) from 1995, I was shocked. And certainly when it turned out that Dwayne Johnson hijacked the leading role. Yet another redundant and ridiculous attempt to imitate a past milestone.

My Review of "The Sun Is Also A Star"
The Sun Is Also A Star might not have been the best title for this movie. Then again it's hard to find a name for a movie that is kind of a generic concept. It's basically your standard boy meets girl story to a T. Still they have to have a twist to this story to differentiate this movie from all the other cookie cutters. There is a spin but it's not a drastic spin but if this movie came out 10 years ago this movie would have been considered mind boggling.

My Review of "Barely Lethal"
Barely Lethal is a cute innocent family movie. I thought it has a lot of fun for what it is and there's a lot to like about it. This movie is definitely not revolutionary but it's a nice diversion if you have the chance to watch it.

Crave by Tracy Wolff - Review
After Twilight came out in 2005 it started a revolution of vampire romance novels that proves to still be continuing. While there have been variants on this trope, all versions have slight differences. In Crave, I was honestly expecting some combination of Twilight and Vampire Academy, and while on a few levels that is what I got, on several extremely important levels it was so much more.
