  Bullet Train 2022

  ★½ Watched by John Quinn 06 Aug 2022

  The trailer is amazing. Sitting there in the amazing Dolby Theater at AMC opening weekend, even as the credits roll, I couldn't pin why this movie didn't rock for me. The couple next to me walked out about an hour in.
  It's not an awful movie. But for some reason, it didn't connect. Packed house and there should have been hootin' and hollering and laughter throughout but - nothing.

  Ms .45 1981

  ★★★★½ Watched by John Quinn 06 Aug 2022

  Believe it or not, I was expecting something very icky and amateurish. Amateurish it is not. Abel Ferrera delivers even when he has no money. Definitely a film worth visiting or re-watching in the post #metoo era.

  Big Momma's House 2000

  ½ Added by John Quinn 3

  I was visiting Los Angeles in 1999 and saw this at a test screening - so I had no idea what movie I was about to see.
  That's my review. I wanted to explain why I saw this movie.

  Django Unchained 2012

  ★★★★★ Watched by John Quinn 09 Dec 2012 3

  Tarantino is so good that even Jamie Fox can't ruin this movie.
  Hilarious, bloody, intense, epic. Exactly what you'd expect from a slave movie / Western from Quentin Tarantino. I had high expectations and this film met them. Always a good year when there's a film from this writer/director to remind us how good movies can be - and should be.
