Greetings All - I pulled a lot of movies off the shelf last couple weeks. These are 7 that I enjoyed the heck out of -
NORTH DALLAS FORTY (1979) the quintessential football movie 🎬 period, end of sentence. 4.0 stars/5 VOD
WILD (2014) This is not the perky Reese Witherspoon from Election, let's get that straight. A mature, hardened divorcee here, she takes to hiking the Pacific Coast Trail. As her journey progresses, flashbacks tell her characters life story. Too many of those flashbacks and uneven pacing bring the rating down considerably for this movie lover. 2.75 stars/5 Plex only
SWITCHBACK (1997) Danny Glover's unusual turn as the bad guy is reason one of many to see this crime thriller directed by Jeb Stuart, writer of v Die Hard. Jared Leto and many others, just an awesome cast. A little slow to get going but give this one a chance. 3.5 stars/5 VOD
THE DROP (2014) Mob crime drama w James Gandolfini, he owns a bar that's a drop for the Mafia. A robbery takes place that shouldn't. Fully enjoyable thriller but unnecessary. 2.5 stars/5
ALIVE (1993) The story of the Andes plane crash and is the greatest survival tale in human history. There's lots better films about them but this a good place to m start for a newbie. 3.0 stars/5
AMERICAN BEAUTY (1999) A masterful performance by Kevin Spacey and quite frankly one of the greatest films ever made. 5 stars/5
