    USS Indianapolis: Men Of Courage (2016)

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2032572/

    At the end of July 1945, the heavy cruiser USS Indianapolis was sunk by a Japanese submarine while returning from a top secret mission to deliver the atomic bomb that was later dropped on Hiroshima.

    Due to the secrecy of its mission and mistakes by the US Navy in the way they were logging ships destinations and arrivals and departures, no one knew the Indianapolis was sunk and its radio distress calls were ignored.

    Only by the sheer luck and coincidence of a US Navy plane searching for down airmen in the same area of the Philippine Sea where the Indianapolis went down, were the survivors spotted.

    Out of the total crew of 1,269, 800 survived the sinking but only 321 were rescued from the water. The rest were attacked and eaten by sharks.

    This story was first mentioned in popular culture by the character Quint, played by Robert Shaw, in the movie Jaws.

    The Captain of the USS Indianapolis, Charles B. McVay III, was the only Captain to be court martialed for losing his ship during World War II.

    The Lt. Commander commanding the Japanese submarine that launched the torpedoes even testified at McVay's court martial proceeding that nothing the USS Indianapolis could had done including zig zagging would had prevented it from being sunk.

    Captain McVay was found guilty of hazarding his ship by failing to zigzag.

    He was later cleared by Admiral Nimitz and returned to active duty and yet, he still committed suicide in 1968 due to the guilt he felt and the constant harassment by surviving family members of his lost crew.

    It took the actions of a 12 year old 6th grade student in 1996, who started researching the sinking of the USS Indianapolis as part of a school assignment, after seeing the movie Jaws.

    He personally interviewed over 150 living survivors of the USS Indianapolis and reviewed over 800 official documents. His actions lead to a new Congressional investigation which resulted in clearing Captain McVay of the charges he was convicted of.

    A Congressional resolution exonerating Captain McVay was signed by President Bill Clinton in 2000.

    This is their story.

    The movie cost $40.000,000 but I don't know where the money went.

    The scenes of the ships and submarines and planes look like very cheap hand drawn animation. They were not even half good CGI.

    In one of the scene involving one of the US Navy PBY search and rescue sea plane, during the close up of the pilot, you can see the reflection of the crew and camera lighting in the pilot's aviator sunglasses.

    Then the characters are very thin and very cliche. You have the black sailors not liking their white superior officers so they spit in their food before serving it to them. You have the trouble making Italian sailor. You have the two southern white sailors in love with the same girl. You have the black and white sailor that hate each other because of skin color but then after the sinking, they became best friends in their life raft.

    Like who the **** wrote this stereotypical script?

    Oh and finally the sharks themselves look worse than any I've seen in Jaws 3D and Jaws The Revenge and Sharknado.

    A plastic toy shark would had worked better than any of the poor CGI shark they made for this film.

    Furthermore, the release date is October 14th but it went straight to home video for streaming and download and rental. This film never received a theatrical release.

    I am sorry to say but I can only give it a

    2/5.

    Payback: Straight Up (2006)

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0958860/

    This is the Director's cut of the original 1999 movie with Mel Gibson.

    Apparently the original director, Brian Helgeland, was fired, 2 days after winning Best Screenwriter for L.A. Confidential, and the movie was already 2/3 finished.

    So someone else was brought in to reshoot about 1/2 of the movie which resulted in the 1999 movie.

    Whoever fired the original director, what the F were they thinking?

    That was a marketing coup right there they could had used to promote the 1999 film which died at the box office:

    "From the Oscar winning screenwriter of L.A. Confidential"

    I like this version better than the reshoot version - the blue murky tint they put throughout the film was just visually annoying and headache inducing.

    4/5

    Evil Dead (2013)

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1288558/

    It's not bad but it doesn't have the freshness discovery factor of the original because since that movie came out in 1981, we as movie audience have seen and experienced enough horror films in the past 35 years to find this version predictable and cliche.

    I would only recommend this movie to anyone who liked the original and wants to watch this reboot/remake strictly as a curiosity novelty item.

    Westworld (1973)

    I am sure this movie was way ahead of the times 43 years ago but now it just seems dated plus the Westword TV series kind of spoiled me.

    Futureworld (1976)

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074559/

    Why was this film even made?

    Oh! To capitalize on the success of Westworld and make money off it.

    They even brought back Yul Brynner and he doesn't do anything in this movie but walk around.

    Then there's Blythe Danner.

    She just looks very plain Jane to me and her acting wasn't any good.

    This is the first time I've seen her in anything.

    Looking at her long filmography listing and I really don't see anything else she has been in that I've seen.

    She was later in the Meet the Parents series but I have never seen those films.

    This sequel was awful!

    Knight And Day (2010)

    So what was wrong with this movie? Why was it panned by critics and the audiences?

    It has hot Cameron Diaz in a bikini...



    ...and YES! I know! I can't stand Tom Cruise but for once he is toned down and non annoying.

    Oh did I mention it has Cameron Diaz in a bikini?

    Jack Reacher (2012)

    This is a strange movie that suffers from an identity crisis.

    I had to force myself to watch it from beginning to end.

    Not sure if the sequel will be as bad as this one or better.

    Sully (2016)

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3263904/

    Good job by Director Eastwood and by Hanks but in my opinion is not deep enough to be Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor Academy Awards worthy.

    This movie could had premiered straight to Cable TV and you wouldn't know think it was a theatrical release.

    Få Meg På, For Faen aka Turn Me On, Dammit! (2011)

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1650407/





    A great movie from Scandinavia.

    There has been several great movies and TV series made in Scandinavia in the past many years that are either over-looked or copied by Hollywood.

    This film reminds me of "Hip Hip Hora! aka The Ketchup Effect" from 2004, another great coming of age film from Sweden and Finland.

    Lights Out (2016)

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4786282

    Good PG-13 horror film, better than some of the other recent PG-13 horror films lately

    BUT

    it could had used another act.

    The ending was too sudden and unsatisfactory, as if the writers build you up for 1 hour and 10 min and then didn't know where to take the movie next for the final act.

    Don't Breathe (2016)

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4160708/

    Three young people decides to burglarize the home of a blind veteran who supposedly has $300,000 stashed away in his house.

    The money is the court settlement from when his daughter was killed in an auto accident.

    Piece of cake job, right? Wrong!

    Good premise but the story itself and the way it's executed is so flawed and full of holes. Even if you do suspend disbelief, you still can't believe how ridiculous some of the stuff you see in the movie are.

    I wanted to yell out at the movie characters so many times that I stop keeping count after a dozen times.

    I don't know who are these folks on the movie posters giving this movie high rating and BEST something.





    Whoever they are, they must be brainless idiots who are very easily pleased!

    I can only give this film a:

    1.5/5
