Don't Let Go - Movie Review

Plot Seems Familiar

Don't Let Go is a movie about a grieving uncle who mysteriously gets a call from his niece two weeks in the past. If this sounds familiar to you, then you might be a movie addict too. In 2000, Frequency came out about a son able to talk to his dad 30 years in the past using an old ham radio. Both movies are good crime dramas and are worth a watch.

Review

As I said, this movie is a good watch. If the niece in the movie looks familiar, you might have seen her in either the latest Wrinkle in Time movie or in Sleight. Storm Reid is a very great actress who makes you feel for any character she portrays. This modern version of the Frequency story line is will keep you guessing until the end. My only issue with this movie is that once the reveal has been made the you know what will happen to the characters, you are left with just the credits. I would have enjoyed seeing a weeks or months later epilogue. This is the second movie I have seen recently where the movie just ends. Don't Let Go was only a 103 minutes. Crawl was the other movie that just ended and it was a mere 88 minutes. Add 5 to 10 minutes for an epilogue to both these movies please.

Rating

I would rate this a HD movie. I would recommend you at least rent this movie but it is also worth $5 to add to your collection. During a sale, this movie was a free from UltraCloudHD with the purchase of $50 or more which is how and why I got my copy.

The Flash - Movie Review

 Surprise Ticket I recently purchased The Doom That Came To Gotham and Justice League x RWBY animated movies that were on sale at Vudu this week.  I received a bonus of $8 off to go see The Flash movie from each movie.  So both my brother and I utilized the discounts for a rare trip to the movies.  Of the two animated movies I purchased, I highly recommend the Justice League x RWBY crossover movie even though it is Part 1 and Part 2 does not currently have a release date yet. Review While The Flash movie was decent, positive reviewers of the movie have obviously not seen The Flash TV series that just completed its run on The CW network.  The story in the movie and the special effects were much better in the TV series than in this movie.  Obviously, TV series has a longer time to tell a story.  Some of the movie’s special effects looked like they were from a couple of decades ago.  While this was only mildly distracting from the movie, it is defini...

Disney+ On Disc

  Change Is Coming Recently Disney+ has been cancelling content like the Willow series among other content on their service. This has given me pause as to what will happen to this content if you want to watch it. Series like the Mandalorian and the final season of Clone Wars were on available through the streaming service. The new idea that this content might eventually be removed from the service to never be seen again was a real possibility. Now we have some hope. I recently received an emailed from Marvel Entertainment. Generally, I would take a quick look and discard it but this one I had to look into more. The link pointed towards Best Buy or Walmart to preorder but I did find Loki Season 1 and WandaVision Season 1 available on Amazon. My hopes started to get raised. So with some quick searches, I did find in fact the Mandalorian Season 1 and 2 will be released on disc later this year. Here are the release dates per the email and what I found at the retailers. Loki - September...

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes - Movie Review

  New vs Old The original 1968 started a series of five movies the last being Battle for the Planet of the Apes . The current series started with the 2011 Rise of the Planet of the Apes  with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes  the fourth in the series. While similar in concept, I do not anticipate Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes  to be the last in this new series. The original series focused on what I consider the human’s side of the story. The current series focuses on the ape’s side of the story. Based on the ending, I suspect there will be another movie to come. Review You care for the characters and the story moves at a good pace. You hardly notice it is nearly a 2.5 hour movie. You can watch the movie for simply the entertainment or you can find a message about coexisting. There are several surprises in the movie which is something I look forward to since I have seen way too many movies. I appreciate the cinematography in this film as way too many movies get t...
