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!

Fury
Brad Pitt and others in a World War II movie. Tank warfare, lots of fighting and killing. Better hold as a first date movie but still a good one to watch for those who like war movies., especially liked the tank battle against the Tiger Tank. The ending had lots of fighting but World War II buffs may see lots of holes in it.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies
Last in series of the Hobbit franchise. Good movie; easy transition from the previous movie to this one. Safe first date movie. Now time to watch the other ones in the series to get caught up.

Guardians of the Galaxy
Here is one that was that made the First Date Movie list. Was not too excited about it but it came strongly recommended from others. Good story line, liked the characters, even has it linked to other Marvel Comic movies. Do rent one this one when you get a chance.

The Giver
Jeff Bridges, Meryl Streep, Brendon Thwaites... and others in a movie about a community that forces its people to follow rules and lead a life dictated by "higher ups". With no memory of the past, people have no idea of any other way of living save for one person whose only purpose is to retain the memories of the past. As this person grows old, he must pass along the memories to a successor.,,.
Slow start, story line did not grab you right away. Best hold as a first date movie!
