9.9/10.My second favorite of the Bond movies.Timothy Dalton's great in his second outing as he matches wits with Robert Davi.I would've given it a 10 but I didn't really like either love interest of Talisa Soto or Carey Lowell.They both have a connection to one of the worst TV franchises ever, Law and Order, and they really aren't that good.Still it's great fun with Dalton proving he's as capable as his predecessors playing 007 James Bond.My three favorites are in this order:1.On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969 George Lazenby) 2. License To Kill (1989 Timothy Dalton) 3. Dr No (1962 Sean Connery).

9.9/10.The first James Bond.Sean Connery was suave and elegant, possibly the book Bond brought to life.Here he's fighting a madman bent on wrecking the US space program.It set the groundwork for the future Bond movies as they had a solid plot, gorgeous ladies like Zena Marshall.good fights.If you're a Bond fan then this one is owed so much respect for it's the one that started it all.

0/10.This was truly an awful show.I, as an Obssessive Compulsive Disorder person can tell you, having this condition isn't funny nor should be laughed at.We're people who should be treated with some dignity and respect not yelled at to change nor be snickered at.If anything, we're more sensible than the rest of the world filled with too much violence, politics, thug and terrorist appeasing dolts, welfare recipients, intolerance, etc.The show's episodes pretty much are the same:Monk fears something, will have to deal with it by the end in order to solve the crime.The characters here:1.Monk:A self pitying type whose sole purpose in life is to complain about the world around him and try making the rest of us as gloomy as he is.One episode, Mr Monk Meets The Playboy, illustrates this as he wrecks a party with the on going cliched TV show gimmick of reminiscing over his long dead wife.They truly expect us to believe one OCD'er could have all these phobias and barely function, right.2.Stottlemeyer:A blowhard whose function on the show is to look stupid as the barely functioning ex cop makes him, and law enforcement in general, look stupid.3.Disher:The epitome of dumb cop, with being dumb as his gimmick, made me cringe.4.Sharona:The cliched single mother doing quite well who dressed and sounded like a New Jersey hooker with a barely developed son.5. Natalie:A rewrite of her predecessor only better looking with a daughter, who, like the son, is also barely developed.They all act so ridiculous it's a miracle they went on for 8 or more seasons.I'm ashamed to say I watched this before I eventually caught on to the idiocy and left this whole mess behind me.This was hardly different from any other cop show of the last 30 years where cops are either incompetent, corrupt, or willing to break the law to preserve it.Just an awful mess here.

0/10.I hate this show.Just hate it, hate it, hate it. I hate all five characters, every ridiculous plot, hate even most of the minor and guest star characters.The main five characters :1.Frasier: Arrogant, pompous, self righteous blowhard whose main goal it seems besides listening to the sound of his own voice is to bed every woman out there, with barely any thought about their feelings, just biological needs then move on.2. Roz:A middle aged harpy whose main goal is to do the same, sleep with every man out there with no serious commitments.3.Niles:A whiny middle aged adolescent type who mooches off a rich wife while lusting for a dodo brain.4.Daphne:A dimwit with an annoying accent who's there solely as eye candy, no character development at all.5.Martin:Like Crankshaft he's there to annoy the world around him with nobody wanting to respond back for fear of looking like a jerk for yelling at an old man.The plots range from idiotic like Frasier being with Patricia Clarkson's Claire French only to want Jean Smart's trashy Lana Gardner to being full of it like A Lilith Thanksgiving with them brown nosing the dean of an academy to get their son enrolled there.The famous people as radio callers is pointless other than to act smug about how many famous people they know.I also hated the new stereotype they did with Lilith, as if her being pompous and ice cold wasn't enough, hey she's suddenly Jewish.That doesn't help their image out, being portrayed this way by this female version of Frasier.I would say the show had no long lasting legacy but that's not true.Its true legacy is like that of too many sitcoms showing how men are in heat 24/7, would do anything for sex, single motherhood's no big deal, and mainly how, with good lawyers, to keep a crummy show like this on the air for 10 or more seasons.I really hate, hate, hate this awful, stupid, audience insulting show.It didn't need to exist other than to entertain moronic people who could feel smug like Frasier, as they would later on with The Big Bang Theory.

8.7/10.A pretty good horror movie here set appropriately in the big easy.New Orleans is as one of the spookiest cities in America so it's appropriate.Malcolm MacDowell lends an air of dignity to this remake as does Annette O'Toole with grace to boot.Cat People is similar to The Wolfman which I consider as a compliment to the Universal icon.This is a pretty good watch.

Rob245

9.5/10.A funny take on the original fairy tale.The only movie I like starring Ann Hathaway and Glenn Close.Here they're in the center of a mystery regarding disappearing baked goods recipes.The two that stick out are David Ogden Stiers and Patrick Warburton as Det Nicky Flippers and Wolf W. Wolf.The different points of view work well here within the mystery as does the idea of Wolf being like Chevy Chase's Fletch.If anything, this was one of the better animated movies of the 2000's alongside the likes of Shrek.

Rob245

9/10.An underrated Helen Slater movie.She's gotta be one of the most underrated actresses ever.Here as a drama student sharing a dorm room with uptight student Patrick Dempsey she shines.Helen's just one of the loveliest and most talented actresses I've watched.A real pleasure seeing her act as a free spirit here with the grace and dignity so many are lacking nowadays, I don't care much for Patrick Dempsey but here he was pretty OK, they played well off each other.

Rob245

8.3/10.Possibly one of the best Jane Seymour movies.I liked the idea of a romance between a ghost and a living woman.They handled it clumsily as they paired Jane with this dork of a guy for a husband who we're supposed to believe is a loving, caring husband.Yeah right and she's not gonna become a prudish type by the 90's only to later on claim she feels sexier in her 60's than her 20's as a desperate means to hold onto to her youth at the expense of her dignity.Here the best parts easily are her being alone with the ghost since this was as erotic as Seymour would and has ever gotten.I wouldn't be surprised to learn she demanded extra for the shower scene alone.It's still a decent watch.

9.4/10. Well made movie here.The faculty of a high school becoming possessed by aliens of another planet's actually well done.I actually got invested in it as I might not have as a lot of late 90's horror didn't care about quality.Here though they really do care.Elijah Wood, Robert Patrick, Famke Janssen, Jordanna Brewster, Josh Harnett, and Clea Duvall did great.The T-1000 facing off against Frodo is amusing as is the nephew of Michael Myers against Jean Grey, Three scenes that stuck out for me were:1.Famke Janssen being sexy, putting Josh Harnett in his place,2.Famke Janssen's head crawling along during her possession and 3. The alien queen revealing herself to the future Frodo.This is a gem of the 90's that deserves the recognition it gets.It should've come out during the golden age of modern horror from 1974-1991.

Rob245

8.2/10.The final Creature From The Black Lagoon and the weakest.They were repeating Revenge Of The Creature here just in a different part of Florida.I would say the main scientist, who's also nuts, plays well as a Dr Frankenstein type only he's obsessed with speeding up evolution.The new look of the Gill Man was pretty OK, as he's been burned then operated on to make him a land dwelling creature yet they dress him like a man.If anything could be said here it's man shouldn't try to speed up things nature took its time on perfecting.God, after all, took his time, seven days, to make things after all.We therefore shouldn't speed everything up in hopes of progress.A pretty decent final movie here.

Rob245

8.8/10.It's still a classic, Creature From The Black Lagoon.I would say it belongs one the list of all time greatest horror movies.I confess to preferring the first sequel Revenge Of The Creature more but this one shouldn't be overlooked.The chilling contact the Gill Man makes, touching the leading lady's ankle underneath the water was chilling, made my spine tingle the first time I saw it.The Gill Man's like King Kong in that people have invaded his home to bother him and he's merely defending himself.A sad ending when he seems to sink to the bottom of the lagoon dead, it's also a strong ending too.

Rob245

9.4/10.My one and only favorite movie of the MCU.I find it so pretentious that they all have to be connected.why not just make a good movie with no connection to another one? Ed Norton's the best Hulk actor on the big screen alongside Live Tyler who plays Betty Ross a lot better than Jennifer Connelly did.I liked the look of the Abomination, pretty good.The movie plays out better than Ang Lee's Hulk did.It's well done.

Rob245

7.9/10.While this is a weak sequel I've seen worse, Dark Knight Rises anyone?True it was a blockbuster but tried lecturing people on the economy and class warfare.Robocop 3 just tries to be entertaining and they seem to succeed with some decent effort.A great emotional scene is Nancy Allen of Officer Ann Lewis dying, necessary to further not only the story along but also help push Murphy into remembering being an officer's about justice even if it sometimes gets murky.Jill Hennessy as Dr Marie Lazarus is surprisingly good as she is one of the few good actors from that whole lousy Law and Order franchise.She plays the scientist who prefers doing what's right over what a company wants.I found the story a slight retread of what they'd done, this seemed to be lacking on being the payoff.If anything the climax needed tweaking, Still it's an enjoyable watch.

Rob245

9.4/10.A vastly underrated sequel.This one takes delight in poking fun at annoying self righteous parent groups who'd rather wreck everyone else's fun instead of keeping their kids away from the wrong stuff.This further explores Murphy's difficult task of not losing himself to his cyborg self.The idea of a drug lord using a kid didn't bother me as Communists used kids in the likes of Vietnam so this was quite realistic here.Nancy's Allen's still great here, she helps further in moving the story along.Tom Noonan tries hard to be a bad guy and at lest he's OK. I felt the true bad guy was Belinda Bauer's Dr Juliette Faxx.She plays a mix of mad scientist and hellbent feminist nicely.If anything, it should've been her fighting Robocop at the end in an advanced suit of armor.It's still a good sequel never the less.

Rob245

9.7/10.One of the best science fiction movies of the 80's.Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, and Kurtwood Smith were great.I found Clarence Bodickker to be one of the best and most chilling movie villains of the 80's.I'd rank him up there with Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, and Chucky as one of the best of that decade.This became an instant sci fi classic as it showed the idea of making man more machine even at the risk of him losing his soul.Peter Weller plays the character superbly.You can see his humanity struggling to overcome the cyborg part of him.This alone makes the movie excellent.Nancy Allen's presence is great as she tries to help him remember his true self.

Rob245

9.7/10.One of the best action movies of the 80's.The movie that launched Bruce Willis.He plays Det John McClane well, as if he'd been ready to play him for some time.The setting in a several story office building works well as they took advantage of this and did great.Hans Gruber is among of the best movie villains of the 80's.This is definitely one meant to be watched at Christmas if you're not into sentimental stuff, I;m not for the most part.

Rob245

9.6/10.An absolutely perfect sequel.It's got Beop, Rocksteady, Krang, and Dr Stockman.C'mon what more could you want? The plot's pretty good in the turtles trying to prevent an invasion of New York by Krang.Shredder looked pretty good, recruiting Bebop and Rocksteady, both of whom were played brilliantly.The public can be cruel as this was one of the best movies of 2016.It's also been one of the last good ones Megan Fox has done for some time.There's nothing wrong with this sequel as it hits all the right notes on everything good about the turtles.I hate that they chose not to another sequel which stinks as I still remain loyal to these great characters.TMNT still rocks even after all these years.

Rob245

-10/10.One of the flat out worst movies ever made.Whoever came up with this should be barred from writing movie scripts as well as not allowed to be a parent.Mila Kunis alone is trouble as I consider her acting to be the same as a dead fish,they both stink.This whole idea of mothers going crazy just because they think they should is ridiculous.My mother and grandmother handled motherhood with a lot less complaining.Here Kunis,Kristin Bell,and Kathryn Hahn act so bad I feel sympathy for their real life kids.What can I say,they're three horrible actresses who shouldn't be here.Nobody expects nor wants a perfect wife/mother but we want don't a bad one either.This is part of the problem with society nowadays,nobody wants to try at parenthood,they think they're entitled to treat their kids poorly.I would daresay this degrades mothers,fathers,and kids due to Hollywood's hatred of the family.These three idiots,if they're mothers,have no clue about motherhood,probably dumped their kids on nannies.This was an outrage and further degradation of the family by mainstream entertainment.

Rob245

8.2/10.The best leading role Michelle Rodriguez has had. She really plays the role with the right mix of bad guy turned vigilante.She really does seem to go good killing off the associates of Dr Jane.This is also the best role Sigourney Weaver's had since Alien:Resurrection.The dynamic of a hitman turned into a woman by a brilliant but insane Dr Frankenstein type had me intrigued.This movie proved you don't have to always be a box office smash hit to be good.It's just that too many people rely on movie critics when they should trust their own judgement.Michelle rocks here.

Rob245

9.7/10.My favorite Adam Sandler movie.The guy's just funny. Here he works great with Winona Ryder, far better than the three times with Drew Barrymore. The story's well done with solid performances by everyone especially Adam.Yes I've heard of Jack And Jill but everyone's got a few bad movies, all the good actors anyway.Longfellow Deeds is the sort of guy you'd want as a friend as he cares more about using his wealth to help people than to buy them.This is the sort of message we need especially in these troubled times nowadays.One of Adam Sandler's best movies, he rocks.
