The Big September Movie Review Blog


What is old is new, and what is new is old. An old motto that I've been saying for the past 29 years live on the air. Hence the angle of this blog aka T2, Star Trek, Stephen King.

Too obvious to mention. We all know the previous adaptions were less than perfect so of course once "IT" is a hit the studios are going to milk the back catalogue. Actually I can't blame them. Everything else they are touching is turning to crap anyways. But do they think these remakes are going to be better? "IT" is the worst remake of the year. The TV series was way better. Even with the poor SFX considering the time period. But Tim Curry was the ultimate evil clown.

It's all about keeping the franchises alive. But this was a storyline  that should have continued as was\
Fans won't even acknowledge T3. So maybe the Alien franchise can take a hint and ignore that stupid storyline about David and the Engineeers and bring Signorney back along with her daughter.

Movie Reviews:
Ratings: 1 = sucked, 5 = great
"IT":0 : Most overrated movie of the year. Too long, too boring too much CGI clown. Done.

American Assassin: 3: Weak plot but lots of action. Micheal is great as always and even tho too much CG it had a great ending at the ocean. PS: check Keaton out in The Founder, the Mcdonalds story guy solid 5 out of 5 and he and the movie should have been nominated to Oscar last yr.

Killing Gunther: 2: Arnold only shows up at the last 20 minutes of the movie but he was great considering it's film in docu style which really sucked. But that 3 cam shot at the end was cool.

Lucky Logan: 2: Daniel Craig was a snap as a southerner and that cameo by Seth was cool but this was so flat and boring, by the end I couldn't care less if they got away with it or not.

Wolf Warrior: 3: Can't believe this is in the top 5 World Wide at the box office this year. Lots of action but I couldn't get into this plot whatsoever. Way overrated for such a money payoff.

Cable/Tv/Livestream Reviews:
Star Trek Discovery Parts 1&2: 3 Not as bad as I thought but I look at this as a different timeline. My main problem? Those are not Klingons! And why is everything so dark. Love the actors tho.

Orville: 4:  Dramedy? Seth needs to have a better balance with this But remember this. ST:TNG Season 1 was so off centered that it took S2 to get it right and Seth did the Screenwriters room on the BR release of ST:TNG. And the parodies on his show. He's doing it better than Discovery. Ouch!

Batman & Harley: 4: This pays homage to the '66 tv series which I grew up with. Along with the music,  graphic balloons (ah my balls!) and Harley was great! Hate the tv series? You'll hate this.

Rough Night: 2: Love the girls but where was the humour? I have no problem with Weekend At Bernies with an all female cast aka Ghostbusters. But did someone forget the laughs?
