Won't go in to much detail... for more see IMDB. For now, this one is a First Date Movie! Don't miss this one. It's over two hours but did not drag... no spoilers here. Go see it!
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!

Ford Vs Ferrari
Matt Damon and Christian Bale make a great team in the true story of Ford's quest to beat Ferrari in the "24 Hours of Le Mans" race. Matt plays Carroll Shelby - race car driver, designer, and team lead for Shelby Racing, and Christian Bale plays Kevin Miles - race car driver, designer, and mechanic for Carroll.
Great movie,... did not know the rivalry as well as inter-rivalry in the Ford Company. Do see this one a the movies! Earns a First Date Movie Rating!
Stuber
Dave Bautista and Kumail Nanijani team up in an action comedy where Dave plays a policeman and Kumail is an Uber Driver. Through a turn of events, Dave hires an Uber because he cannot drive to track down a killer.
Funny moments and lots of action. Okay to wait for a rainy day to rent; entertaining but would chose other movies on a sunny day!

Joker 2019
Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker shows the origin of the Comic Villain in a more violent manner than last movies. Some may like it and others may not... Had to see it to form an opinion.
Hold as a first date movie but do see it to make your own decision!

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Quentin Tarantino directs a movie about late 60s's Hollywood. Leonardo Dicaprio is an aging star, Brad Pitt is his stunt double and close friend. Together, they come to terms with issues have a "has been" lead actor.
Tarantino spins things with Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski where in this version a happier ending results from a run in with the Manson Family Cult.
Was pleasantly surprised to be entertained by this movie; glad to have seen it at the Movie Theater! See more at IMDB.

Good Boys 2019
Early preview of this one. Lots of funny parts but not a first date movie. Lots of cursing by tweens. If you are okay with it and Seth Rogen movies, check it out!

When they hit a dead end, Max decides to use his father's drone to spy on the teenage girls next door. When the boys lose the drone, they skip school and hatch a plan...."

Shape of Water
Been meaning to watch this one. Watched it finally... Liked it! Going to look for more movies with Sally Hawkins. Did a great job in a role that required no speaking!

When he wakes in the hospital, he soon learns after that no one knows about the Beatles and their songs!
Good one, a definite first date movie!
Ps... Burger and Fries plus an Ice-eee make it all good!

Glass
Marvel comics sequel to Split and Unbreakable... has James McAvoy and his multiple personalities aka "the Horde", Samuel Jackson with his genius but scheming ways and the same broken bones, and Bruce Willis and his super hero strength.
All come together in Glass... good movie and twist and turns made for entertainment. Lotta time spent in the asylum... won't say more but bummer on the ending. See more on IMDB.
