The Digital Movie Collector

Stupid Comedies Those who know me know that I am not a fan of what I term "stupid comedies". Movies like Step Brothers, Get Hard, and Chips to name a few are movies that I refuse to watch. I honestly feel like I loose brain cells watching them. I won't judge you if they are movies you enjoy so don't judge me if I think they are stupid. There are times that a few fall close if not into the stupid category that I will admit are good movies. One of those movies is Down Periscope. Review The cast includes Kelsey Grammer, Lauren Holy, Rip Torn, Harry Dean Stanton, and William H. Macy. It also include Rob Schneider which is why I put this movie in the stupid comedies section. Some of the reasons I like this movie is the lack of language and the story of misfits coming together as a team. The movie is old but I feel it stands the test of time fairly well. I highly recommend this movie for those looking for a feel good comedy night. Rating I would give this a low HD rating. A...

Second Look I definitely gave Apple TV streaming service a harsh review with due cause. With my free year subscription running out, I decided to take a second look and a third look. I was hopeful with the new Amazing Stories series as I grew up with the original by Steven Spielberg but I was again not impressed. Recently, I decide to watch the Apple TV movie Greyhound with Tom Hanks. Finally, I can say I watch something with a well know star that was actually good. Review I know this is a paid for service but if you want to use the free 7 day trial, I highly recommend you watch this movie. Unfortunately, I had issues just streaming the movie on my iPad without the app crashing. Fortunately, I was able to download the movie and watch it without any issues. My guess is the everyone was trying to watch it the same time I was and the service was not prepared for the volume but this is a guess on my part. I am unclear how much of the movie was digital but with only a few locations, I feel t...

Something Different and Free I feel like I beat up the streaming services in my past review. Things change and sometimes they get better. NBCUniversal has launched a new streaming service called Peacock TV. One movie in particular can only be seen on this service is Psych 2: Lassie Come Home. This is the second movie from the TV series Psych. If you have not watch the series, you can watch all eight seasons plus both movies on this new streaming service for free. Yes, you will have to suffer through commercials. Considering the service is free and the number of shows and movies it offers, I am pleasantly surprised how few commercials there are on this service. I highly recommend you check it out. Sign up is free and no credit card information is required. By signing up, you can watch on multiple platforms and keep you place in any show you are watching. Review If you liked the TV series, you will enjoy this latest movie where we catch up with the main cast of characters. I will admit t...

Not What I Remembered So, Gamer UHD was on sale at Vudu for $5. Gamer? I think I remember watch and liking the movie. Seems like a good deal and trailer is good. Nothing to do on a Saturday night so let's watch the new movie. 95 minutes later not counting breaks and movie concludes. Verdict: Movie is not as good as I remembered. Ugh. Review Gerard Butler, Logan Lerman, Ludacris, and John Leguizamo are just a few actors in this movie. Their acting is good and makes my purchase more tolerable. The story is different and leave you guessing for over half the movie. The R rating does not do this movie justice. Looking at the rating by Vudu, both Violence and Language are 5 out of 5 and Sex is a 4 out of 5. I must remember to look at these ratings for future purchase. Even if the Sex and Language was brought down, there are still other flaws with this movie that take away from the acting. The movie uses way too much shaky camera movement. There are some scenes that are just blurs of acti...
