If you are going to make stuff up, at least use fictional names. Now an entire generation will think less of Jerry West, who is truly an exceptional player, GM and person..

HBO has stressed its new series “Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty” is not a documentary after NBA legend Jerry West publicly criticized the series for the portrayal of his character.&nb…

I didn’t think it was possible to make a bad Viking movie. Clearly I got that wrong. There are several different categories that make a movie good or bad such as acting, direction, effects and storyline. This movie was able to keep away from all of the good things that are happening those categories and they did it magnificently. I’m still not sure why I didn’t walk out but I was just bored. -0-

Pretty good depiction of life in those days…. 15 rating…….when men really worked and died doing so!

A truly smart movie with great Characters! Great plot! 12

A truly silly movie that actually and accurately portrays the way our society responds and acts to real events.…… Embarrassingly sad and fun to watch. “12”

The newest version of a wonderful genre, “The Batman” has saved the diminishing fare. With the “suspension of disbelief” firmly in hand, The Bat entertained for nearly 3 hours, about 40 minutes too much, however, the presentation preserved the dignity of the serial! As to “The Cat”, meow!

I have always liked character Hercule Poirot in the Agatha Christie novels though he pales to the inimitable Sherlock Holmes. I’ve always found the stories to be unfathomable because you are never given enough clues. I never have any idea what’s going on and then they give you all the surprises at the end. I would at least like to have a vague hope of figuring this out on my own but they just add things that no one could possibly know. I still like the movie because I like the genre and I like the characters. A circumspect “12”…. at best….

In my many years of watching movies, dating back to Wednesday and Sunday Double Feature Matinees, I have been intrigued and gratified by the Movie Industry. As you will note, I did not use the term "film". The one thing that has always seemed lacking is a source to contact that would give me good information on a movie. Sure the newspapers have socalled "Critics". I have two problems with their reviews:
1. I don't know them or what kind of movies they like.
2. The rating systems ( Stars, etc..) is meaningless. I have found that there are 5 categories of moviegoers. I will categorize them in ascending order of importance to real people:

1. Film Geeks: These are the people in your high school who were involved in the plays and many actually know (and care to know) the difference between a violin and a fiddle. These are the people who actually voted for"Shakespeare in Love" over "Saving Private Ryan." They actually use the word "film" when talking to their friends.

2. Daters: They only go movies with someone they are dating. They limit themselves to movies that would appeal to both. The terms "romance" and "love" are often in the titles of their favorite movies.

3. Farm Clubbers ( At least10 movies per year, anything less and you care nothing about movies or have a bunch of kids.) Can often grow into more significant movie habits.

4. Believers (At least 20 movies per year) Enjoys a variety of movies, rents videos and can name 5 movies that Sean Connery, Harrison Ford and Kevin Costner were in. Usually gets popcorn at the theater.

5. Gatekeepers ( At least 40 movies per year) Knows who David Mamet and John Sayles are and always gets popcorn. The word of a Gatekeeper is usually gold. Note: Some "Film Geeks" fall into this category. Please ignore such individuals.

A movie is thus rated adding the aforementioned numbers. A perfect score is 15 if all categories would like a movie. A 5 if only the Gatekeepers would like a movie.
