Vacancy (2007)

not a horror fan overall so ...
26 August 2022
First off, I'm not big into horror movies so take my review with a grain or salt, maybe a pound.

Mildly entertaining, a couple of surprises, creepy (horror movies should be, right?).

If people could reason for two seconds, make half decent decisions, and strike when the moment is right I suppose we wouldn't horror movies or good music. I mean, after my wife left me, I'd keep a better eye on my dog and my pickup truck.

25 August 2022
Having been on the subway a million times, I thought I'd give this one a shot.

18 minutes in I'm ready to sue for mental cruelty!

Okay, I'm mostly kidding about taking legal action, but I did have to turn this off and warn the others.

odd
25 August 2022
Odd movie, characters are without direction or purpose for the most part.

Didn't dislike the movie but may be one you watch on a rainy day to pass a little time.

for the woke/pc crowd only
24 August 2022
I'm an old guy. Mexican living most of his life in Texas.

That said, this is a true piece of trash. A stupid movie for stupid people.

An insult to the audience's intelligence, hate mongering at it's worst, a disgrace to decent people.

okay but not great
23 August 2022
Suppose it's an okay movie if you're into the old people are problems, not actual people way of thinking.

A cautionary tale to the young. The end will get here, prepare yourself for old age. Don't leave your future in the hands of your indecisive, cowardly kids.

That's assuming you will have the privilege of getting old, a thing denied to many.

Boo-ring
23 August 2022
Couldn't finish watching this snoozer.

Message is boring, lesson is boring, actors are boring, movie overall is stale.

No idea what the point of this film is but entertainment and/or story telling isn't one.

wow
23 August 2022
If you've never had a kid but still have a heart, you will like this movie.

If you've had kid(s) and loved them, this movie will move you.

Would be surprised if there was a dry eye in the house.

im a little biased
22 August 2022
I'm a little biased in that I like "human stories". Not big into love stories but can appreciate ones that last a life time.

A somewhat slow paced but interesting film.

Would watch again.

cute movie
22 August 2022
Cute movie, a little dry to start but pays out in the end.

Little bit of male nudity, not vulgar but is pertinent to the story, wasn't full frontal or sexual.

yawnfest of the year
21 August 2022
Huge fan of the WWII genre, regardless of side.

This was a tough one to stay awake for. Kept waiting for the payout but it never came.

Do yourself a favor and keep looking, this film will let you down.

good movie
21 August 2022
Being Mexican and living in Texas, this movie was of interest to me.

Good movie, worth giving it a watch.

Not a family friendly or date night movie. Serious subject matter.

another human story
20 August 2022
Another segment / story of human nature and human history.

Not sure how else to explain the story in this film. Not entertaining per se, but also one I had to watch to the end. Sad way for folks to live and get through life.

vile, vulgar, unprofessional
20 August 2022
Let's say this movie was accurate. Lucy was a vile, vulgar, and unprofessional player. She deserved every bit of misery in her life. Absolutely no reason to speak to people the way she did.

Let's say this movie was inaccurate. Lucy was portrayed in a vile, vulgar, and unprofessional manner.

For entertainment value, this movie sucked overall.

Fast forward to 1:49:00 and stop at 1:59:00 for the most moving and best part of this film.

not a bad movie
20 August 2022
Not the most exciting thing to watch but still somewhat enjoyable.

Grab yourself a bucket of popcorn and settle in on a rainy afternoon. Watch out for the right hook!

27:22 was all i could take
20 August 2022
27:22 was all I could take. Dunno if it ever got better but I didn't want to wait around to find out.

Mickey Rourke's character was out of place and badly written (acted?)

Your mileage may vary.

okay filler movie
20 August 2022
Okay filler movie on a rainy day, nothing special or overly entertaining.

As you can tell from most of my reviews, I'm not a wordy or sophisticated film critic, just your average Joe.

boring
20 August 2022
Would label this one mostly boring and dumb. If you have nothing better to do but wait out a rainy day, it might be okay.

No real story, maybe that wasn't the point of the film. That said, no idea what their point was.

horrible
16 August 2022
Hands down the worst WWII film I've ever seen. Acting and script stale and cliche at best. Unless you are in prison and forced to watch, skip over this waste of time.

pure tripe
16 August 2022
I love a good bowl of menudo but it has to have more than just tripe. Stomached about 30 minutes of this left wing, propaganda, feel good hooey.

17 days in the desert was okay, one night in a facility was pure evil, LOL.

Save yourself the hassle, nothing enlightening or entertaining in this film.

creepy but a good watch.
4 August 2022
An intense movie, worth a watch. May make your skin crawl/

Takes me back to my days as a kid growing up in Houston and the Houston Mass Murders. Wiki one of the killers, Elmer Wayne Henley for the story.

great movie!
4 August 2022
Wow! What a story! Love the grit Molly Johnson shows, a hero's hero.

Outside of the last two minutes, can't have a movie without the obligatory Woke PC hooey, this is an intense and fantastic movie.

clean and funny
4 August 2022
Clean and funny comedy, can watch with the family.

Got a kick out of the old man, his story amusing. Grab a bucket of popcorn and enjoy a rainy day or early night.

worth a watch
4 August 2022
This film NSFW and not family friendly. Don't watch with your kids, sex scenes are the only downer in this movie, totally unnecessary.

That said, this is a cool little movie, amusing and entertaining.

Even a Trump hater will hate this movie
4 August 2022
Love the zombie, end of the world, Zombieland, Shaun of the Dead, World War Z, Cell genre

Made it to the 25:40 mark before turning it off. Movie plain sucks. They should have spent the extra $2 actors and script.

The Trump factor was sophomoric at best, save it for your Thanksgiving Dinner fight with your MAGA hat wearing uncle/
