MY NETFLIX MOVIE REVIEWS #71


The true story of Desmond T. Doss, the conscientious objector who, at the Battle of Okinawa, won the Medal of Honor for his incredible bravery and regard for his fellow soldiers. We see his upbringing and how this shaped his views, especially his religious view and anti-killing stance. We see Doss's trials and tribulations after enlisting in the US Army and trying to become a medic. Finally, we see the hell on Earth that was Hacksaw Ridge.

I actually had someone recommend this film to me. I had seen the trailer and felt it wasn’t that compelling of a story having seen numerous war films. Yet I also knew that Mel Gibson directed it and having seen BRAVEHEART and PASSION OF THE CHRIST and seeing how brutal and unflinching those films were I figured the same would happen here. Upon finally viewing HACKSAW my first impression was a very glossy view of the overall state of things at that time, which I was expecting something a bit grittier. Overall I appreciated the true story remade so for HACKSAW RIDGE I give it 3 stars.

Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Courtesy of Internet Movie Database)

Being a fan of Spike Lee I think this is one of his more underrated film SUCKERFREE. I’ve seen nearly all of Spike Lee’s film some I liked more than others, but I liked this one and enjoyed the lesson on the development of San Francisco and the Bay Area. It was also nice to see Spike shoot another city other than New York. The story aspect left me wanting some kind of answer or form of closure and then again this is a Spike Lee joint. Overall I enjoyed the film, I’d recommend it to select friends due to subject matter. So for SUCKER FREE I give it 4 stars.

MY NETFLIX MOVIE REVIEWS #69


Following a series of armed robberies at a number of branches of Texas Midland Bank where very little money was taken, we learn that the motive of unemployed oil and gas worker Toby Howard (Chris Pine) and his brother -- just released from prison -- is to raise enough money to pay off the reverse mortgage that will forfeit their recently deceased mother's ranch if not paid off. Oil was discovered on the ranch and in order to secure the future of his sons and ex wife, Toby needs $43,000. After two of the robberies, curmudgeonly Texas Ranger Marcus Hamilton (Jeff Bridges) and his American Indian deputy partner pick up the trail and just miss foiling the next, and last robbery. Written by Scott J. Tepper, Calabasas  (Courtesy of Internet Movie Database)

I had been looking forward to HELL OR HIGH WATER or awhile having seen the trailer. Upon seeing the film I was entranced by the slow churning country pace that told the daring story of the two bank-robbing brothers.  I was also impressed with the acting performances of Ben Foster, Chris Pine, and Jeff Bridges. Overall this film is definitely recommendable and probably better after two viewings as there are things that are unsaid that impact how you view this film. So for HELL OR HIGH WATER I give it 4 stars.

MY NETFLIX MOVIE REVIEWS #68


Dave Chappelle gives his usual skewed insight into the topics of race, technology, OJ Simpson, and more in a stand up special filmed in Hollywood.

Being one who can still remember the days where the Dave Chappelle and the Chappelle show was at its height. Then to live through the fall out of Dave leaving the show and turning down all that money I thought I’d never see the day where he’d come back to stand up or comedy at all. I am excited and happy that the day has come, as through Netflix they will be releasing 2 specials of him doing what he does the best, which is make people laugh. Having only viewed the first special THE AGE OF SPIN I’d have to say he is still one of my favorites. The way he mixes humor and current affairs is something to see. Understanding these specials were shot a few years back and just not released we find Chappelle tackling topics like the election, race relations, and even the Bill Cosby situation. I had a great time watch the return of David Chappelle’s THE AGE OF SPIN and I would recommend this to any of my friends. So for THE AGE OF SPIN I give it 4 stars.
