Terminator Salvation (2009)
Best Terminator sequel since Judgement Day!!!
Salvations only downfall, like all other sequels since, is that it came after Judgement Day. But it is definitely worth a watch.
What it lacks in things like action and character development, it more than makes up for in storytelling, creativity and heart...literally!
Every Terminator sequel since has been compared to Judgement Day. And unfairly so. In this case especially.
Unless we are looking for a replica of a blockbuster classic (A New Hope), like Force Awakens was for the Star Wars franchise. Then we need to be more open to differing and more creative story's, in the hope that it can continue into something just as spectacular, if not more so, than how it all began.
Let this epic story continue.
Who knows where it could lead!
Hearts of Spring (2016)
Good premise, horrible lead.
While I like the idea of Hallmark doing it's own twist on classics like, Shop Around the Corner and You've Got Mail (a remake done right), it's hard to look past the horrible choice of lead actress.
Her exaggerated, over-acting makes it excruciating to watch. Worst movie I've watched in a long time and I don't mind an occasional so-bad-it's-good kind of movie.
Definitely a forgettable, never watch again movie, so don't bother.
The Hustle (2019)
A complete ripoff so don't even bother
Was rather hoping it would be great, as I love the actresses in it, which is the only reason I gave it a two.
Sadly, it was completely disappointing and unoriginal.
Aside from the obvious gender swap and even a couple of role reversals thrown in, it was exactly, and I mean exactly the same as Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, with Steve Martin and Michael Caine.
In fact, almost identical. Will some lame jokes and slapstick thrown in.
But far less clever or funny than the original.
My advice. Just watch Dirty Rotten Scoundrels instead. Because you can't unsee it if you do.
But if you are like me, with a terrible memory, you may forget most of it over time.
