The Magnificent Seven (1960). I liked this western movie. I think I should watch more old westerns.

Alien: Prometheus and Covenant.

I can understant why some fans of the original movies hated these - I had some issues as well - but I can also respect their narrative paths and courage of doing something different with the series. Though, those white gigachad aliens are bit to weird even for me. As a stand-alone movies these would be great.

Outland (1981) Starring Sean Connery as the only law on a mining outpost on Jupiter’s moon, Io, this is a pretty decent movie with a good story and sense of fun. Connery has to stop the distribution of an illegal drug which is used to maximize productivity in the outpost’s miners, at the ultimate cost of their sanity. The cast is good, the script is good and it’s well directed. I’m surprised that Peter Hyams was never tapped to do a movie for the Alien franchise. He would have done a lot better than David Fincher (Alien 3), who effectively destroyed it. It had been years since I saw Outland and I had forgotten how solid it was. 7.5/10

The Rocketeer (1991) An absolutely perfect movie. Director Joe Johnston clearly cared about what he was making and paid attention to every detail. He put together a mini classic that went under the radar with most audiences. I’m glad to have this movie among my list of favorites. 9/10

Muppet Treasure Island (1996) After Muppet Christmas Carol, Brian Henson had a good vision of what the future of the Muppet franchise might become, and this movie had the same beautiful cinematography and style to add to that burgeoning concept. Unfortunately this movie fell dramatically short of expectations. Brian Henson started off with some of his signature directorial touches that made Christmas Carol such a masterpiece, but while he had total confidence and command of that movie, he seemed distracted and uncertain with Treasure Island. The songs were competent and even solid, but nothing that could compare with Paul Williams’ line-up of perfect songs that came before. He would have improved this movie had he returned to write the songs. The humor was hit-and-miss and, while harmless, lacked sufficient charm to put this movie into the higher echelons of great moviemaking. A good idea indifferently handled. 4/10

Gladiator 2 (2024) It was alright, at least as good as the first Gladiator movie. It was reasonably well made, for Ridley Scott, and it kept me interested without going off track too far. The action sequences were better than the first movie, having less bullet-time nonsense, and the characters were engaging. *Spoilers ahead* Denzel Washington played a complex character with more going on than what initially appeared as a mere trainer of gladiators; he had a much loftier ambition. But what perplexed me was the fact that this ambition was literally seconds from fruition when he essentially sabotaged his own long-standing and well-orchestrated plans. He inexplicably threw away all his subtle maneuverings for power by jumping the gun and killing everyone, making himself the badguy rather than putting the blame on others while taking control and favor in their stead. This seemed out of character considering all that had happened up to that point. The main character, Lucius, was lauded as having such success in the arena due to his rage, but he was about as raging as a fleecy snowflake. He was strong but very laid-back, even in his fight scenes, but that’s a minor issue. I still liked his character. So, all things considered, I did enjoy this movie enough to give it 7.5/10

Keeping Up With the Jonses (2016) I was surprised by this gem of a comedy about suburbanites dealing with a pair of super spies moving in next door. The comedy is tight, well-directed and subtle when it needs to be. A refreshing and fun movie on many levels. 7.5/10
