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!

"Everything Must Go"
Will Farrell takes the lead role in this IFC style movie. Accused of sexual harrassment, he is let go from his job. Divorce looming in the near future and banned from his house, he ends up living in his front yard. Forced to sell his belongings, he decides to sell everything!
Good movie for viewers who like independent films. Would wait as a first date movie. Do watch later though.... If you like IFC!
"The Debt"
Movie with Helen Mirren as an Israeli Mossad agent. Her team is on a mission to capture a Nazi doctor and bring him in for war crimes. But, things don't go as planned.
Good movie. Like the turn of events and the ending. Would wait as a first date movie but would rent it later as the relationship matures.

"30 Minutes or Less"
In parallel to the opening storyline, Danny McBride and Nick Swardson are also best friends. Danny is the mastermind; Nick is the crony. Together they scheme to hire an assassin to kill Danny's father played by Fred Ward. Why? So Danny can inherit the remaining millions of dollars his dad won from the Lotto!
While brainstorming the plan to kill Danny's father, Danny and Nick see a pizza commercial on the television. It is this point that starts the main storyline... Jesse and Aziz rob a bank because Danny and Nick strapped a bomb to Jesse and will blow him up if he does not do what they tell him!
Funny moments, borderline for a first date movie only because its about blackmailing someone to do illegal things. Still was entertaining to watch!
"The Help"
"Rise of the Planet of the Apes"
Safe first date movie. Do rent this one when you get a chance!
"Hangover Part 2"
Funny moments but hold off as a first date movie. Several scenes will shut down a chance for a new relationship to grow into something more!
