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!

Tenet
Watched this one at the Movie House! Lots of action but hard to follow with time traveling back and forth and around again. From IMDB, "Armed with only one word, Tenet, and fighting for the survival of the entire world, a Protagonist journeys through a twilight world of international espionage on a mission that will unfold in something beyond real time."
21 Bridges
Watched this one despite its release in 2019. "21 Bridges" has... "an embattled NYPD detective is thrust into a citywide manhunt for a pair of cop killers after uncovering a massive and unexpected conspiracy." Lots of action with a few twists and turns. Entertaining movie for those who like a back story to the main story!

Honest Thief
Liam Neeson movies where he plays a thief who decides to turn himself in after finding the woman of his life. But, things don't go as planned. Instead, he must fight to clear his name. Good movie! Check it out! See more at IMDB.

Love Gauranteed
Here is one we found on Net Flicks! It's easily a safe first date movie - Love Guaranteed. Damon Wayan's Jr. hires a lawyer played by Rachel Leigh Cook to sue an online dating website - Love Guaranteed. The reason - after 1000 dates if you find love, they guarantee something... not sure what. Liking the actors and liking the story line. Do check it out! See more on IMDB.

Running From Grace
Been away from theaters due to their closure, but luckily there is the Internet. Here is one that I liked... Running from Grace! Found it by accident, has Matt Dillon and others working through issues while living in Hawaii in the early 1900s. This one gets a first date movie rating. No spoiler here... just check it out! See more at IMDB.

Greyhound
Watched this one from Apple TV as well as read the book. Greyhound starring Tom Hanks as the Commander of an Escort Squadron of destroyers tasked with protecting a Convoy of Merchant Ships crossing the Atlantic.
Lots of action and cool scenes as the Squadron fights of German U-Boats. Good movie, did note changes compared to the book, but overall it followed the storyline.
Do check it out! For more, see IMDB.

Invisible Man 2020
Remake of an old classic but updated to the 21st Century. The Invisible Man is a jealous boyfriend who fakes his suicide to torment his runaway girlfriend.
A little slow with a twist and turn that made it entertaining. Liked it but may need to hold off as a first date movie... since it is about a jealous boyfriend.
See more at IMDB.

1917
Able to get an early view of the movie 1917... about two British soldiers in WWI who are tasked with delivering a message to cancel an order to attack. If they don't deliver, a battalion of the British Army is doomed to death.
Liked the movie... noticed a couple of actors from the Game of Thrones were in the movie! Do check it out. For more, see IMDB!
