Web log that provides periodic reviews of movies using a new rating system in 2024. Formerly, movies were rated as a "first-date" movie and/or "first-rate movie rental". In 2022 and 2023, we rated movies on a Beer basis. See details in the sidebar below. Beginning 2024, we now use a simpler rating system - Thumbs Up/Down!

Movie Review - "Strange Relatives"

Movie Review - "Meet the Robinsons"
… animated movie for the family. A baby is left on the door step of an orphanage by his mother. As the baby becomes a boy, he struggles to find out what happened and why. Somehow he creates a memory machine that allows him to remember what he saw as a baby. The rest of the story takes viewers back in forth from the present to the future and the past. In the end, things turn out well. What do you expect, it is a Disney cartoon.
Wait to see this movie, preferably when your first-date evolves to married with children. - JM

Movie Review - "Fly Boys"
… aerial action-movie with old school flyboys pitting Allies against the Axis in World War I. Enjoyed the flying scenes but a little on the "hooky-side" when it came to the story. No matter, you feel like jumping in a Sopwith Camel and taking on the Red Baron. Hang On Snoopy, Hang On! - JM
Movie Review - "Blood Diamond"
… drama with Leonardo Decaprio as a diamond smuggler and Djimin Dijaou as a father searching for his family in war torn Sierra Leone. A lot of action with an underlying political statement against the diamond industry. Regardless, it is an entertaining movie. Watch it when you can. - JM
