Movies, Film and My Opinion

 I truly did enjoy this movie. It was good to see Optimus Prime and Bumble Bee. I was introduced to Mirage and Optimus Primal. There was death, there were close calls, and wow! Scourge! Voiced by Peter Dinklage! Wow, wow and wow! And Optimus Primal voiced by Ron Pearlman! Great, great cast! I think Anthony Ramos did a great job as Noah and Ms. Dominique Fishback was wonderful as the very smart and focused Elena. I love that the story didn't have Noah and Elena as lovers, but as friends. There was no love tension at all. That was so refreshing to see. So many high stakes all over the place and I like that the screenwriter put those stakes in the first, 10 to 15 minutes of the movie: this is what everyone is after, this is what is keeping them down, and now - the only way they can get what they want is if they all work together. And the music was pretty cool for the 90s. Good stuff! The action was constant and the tension was just so very on point. I enjoyed this as pure entertainmen

 I finally got around to watching "Cinderella" from 2021. It wasn't bad. I totally loved the choir in the king's court. I loved their vitality and their humor. The prince was pretty good and Cinderella was just about "fair". The "fabulous" Fairy Godmother, played by Billy Porter, was very unique. The king was gorgeous, of course, cause it was Pierce Brosnan. The queen was pretty good, and her character had a point: I am your wife, not your peasant, and I can disagree with you, dang it! The Prince's friends! OMG they were there for him! When the Prince was surrounded by all those single women, those guys circled him to protect him and they had his back! They also jumped on horses and rode with him to find Cinderella later in the movie! Love, love, LOVE friends like that! The mice were cute, even in human form. It was interesting hearing modern music to a classic tale. It was just "ok". I did like that in the end, Cinderella didn't

 Not a bad movie. Just saw it in 2023. My husband really likes this movie and suggested we watch it. He sat there quoting lines and remembering seeing it on tv. Burt Reynolds and Sally Field seem to team up often during both of their careers. It's interesting to see what stunt men do and what their lives are like. It's also good to see the women that love them, whether they be romantic partners or daughters. The confirmation in this movie that women are definitely different than men is very apparent in the big fight scene with the Swat team. Men fight, throw each other around, and then go hang out. I don't get it. It's a fun movie, very reminiscent of "Cannonball Run" and "Smokey and the Bandit."
