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!

Hacksaw Ridge
War movie that focuses on acts of valor to save lives rather than take them. Lots of blood and guts but worth the premium to see it at the theater! Directed by Mel Gibson, Hacksaw Ridge is a true story about Medal of Honor recipient Desmond Doss - an Army Medic and conscientious objector, who saves 75 men during the battle for Okinawa - see more on IMDB!
Independence Day: Resurgence
Sequel to the original released in 1996. Now twenty years later, they - alien bad guys, are back! So, are a few characters from 1996. Was an entertaining movie that tied in well with the original. This one is a safe first date movie - see more on IMDB!

War Dogs
Based on a true story about two youngs arms dealers who are caught defrauding the government. Jonah Hill and Miles Teller play the arms dealers. There is a supporting role played by Bradley Cooper. Surprisingly entertaining movie despite the subject matter!

Another in the Marvel Comics franchise. This one shows the origin of how Doctor Strange came to be. Went with the significant other as company. Was not expecting much. Luckily, it was a pleasant surprise... good movie!

Mike and Dave
Funny movie with familiar actors. A little crude jokes and slapstick but who minds since it was expected for this genre. Good rental for a rainy night!
Bad Moms
Comedy with Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and others about Moms gone wild. Entertaining storyline that has us laughing! Nice foil with Christina Applegate!
