Fall Movies 1

NOTE: I have lost interest in reviewing movies other than keeping count. When the internet stopped the copying of the movie posters, etc. The fun went away.

American Assassin and American Made:  Two "American" Movies that could not be further from each other or could they. Both are about recent events.

"Assassin" is about a guy wanting to revenge is girl friend's death by terrorists and becomes a killing machine for the CIA.. He is  a Jason Bourne typr. Great action.  2017 movie 32  I give it ***1/2 stars.

American Made is the Tom Cruise reinactment of the drug runners and gun runners during the Iran-Contra Affair during the Reagan years.  It is a humorous tale of a tragic time.  2017 movie 33. I give it **** stars.

"Blade Runner 2049" will be one of the year's ten best movies. It  takes place 32 years after the original story. The original story continues but I was amazed at the craftsmanship of the film (which was what I remembered about the first).  I enjoyed this 3 hour movie and give it ****1/2 stars. 2017 movie 34

"The Foreigner" is Jackie Chan's version of  "Taken".(but better).  It is also a revenge movie about terrorists.  Great story and action. *** stars. 2017 movie 35

"The Mountain Between Us" is an intimate story of a small plane that crashes in the rockies and the survival of two strangers thrown together in a strange situation. Two main characters and a dog who acts well too. Tense and well photographed. 2017 movie 36. *** stars.

"Subburbicon" is the strange Coen Brothers/George Clooney movie starring Matt Damon. It is 1957 Suburban life told in the fashion of movies like the Coen Brothers' "Blood simple" or "Raising Arizona".  It is a good story told over the top with a second story going in the background all the while. You will probably want to proceed with caution.  I like movies like this but doubt that many are.  **** stars. 2017 movie 37  I may rate it higher later.
