U.S. Seals 2 was fun and other thoughts

U.S. Seals 2 was fun. I think this was a sequel in name only.  A Navy Seal is brought back to duty to oppose a former Seal who has turned evil. Michael Worth stars as the hero. I had heard of this but never saw it. It was a fun movie. It might be watching again. 

I still cannot decide if I want see Jurassic World Rebirth. I heard some good things. I heard some bad things. Oh well I will think about it some more.

Prisoner of War comes this month. I have heard good things about the film. Affinity comes out this month too. I have heard good things about this one also.  If they are both as good as I have heard, that will be nice.

Wanted Man was good

 I finally watched Wanted Man. I think I bought last year. Why I did not watch it before now is something I don’t know. This is a Dolph Lundgren movie about a cop who goes to Mexico to bring back some witnesses. The cop had been caught on video calling a suspect a Mexican lowlife. I think the idea was to get the cop out of town for a few days, let things blow over. Things go wrong and the cop and a surviving witness have get to America. For a while the cop and the witness hide out with her family. There are some nice moments during this time It was good. It is not action packed. There are some action scenes. I like Lundgren as a star and I am not the harshest critic of his movies. He might have directed this one.  Kelsey Grammar was in the film. It has been a while since I have seen him in anything other than Fraiser except for a brief cameo. Yeah, he is one of the villains. This is a direct to video action movie. Don't expect Mission Impossible level stunts.

Woman of the Hour is decent, maybe more than decent

 Anna Kendrick stars in this movie and directs it. It is based on a real life story about a serial killer on the dating game. Kendrick is good as always. Her character is a struggling actor who goes on the Dating Game to get seen. She has a friendly neighbor who might want be more than a friend.  The movie has flashbacks but not too many. I am anti-flashback but I think this movie worked with flashbacks.  It is interesting. I am not sure how true to life it is. Daniel Zovato plays the serial killer. (I know the ability to research people in the 70s was not what it is now but how did he pass a background check?) I don’t think I have seen him in anything. He can seem charming but can go to creepy quickly. The Dating Game scenes are fun.  Maybe some things here are fictionalized. I liked this section but I have some doubts the way this went down is true to life. This is not bad for a first time director. With her background, I would have expected her to make a romantic ...

Who’s Harry Crumb is not John Candy’s best film but I liked it

Who’s Harry Crumb stared John Candy as an inept private detective investigating a kidnapping. Of course Harry thinks he is a great detective. (That is the source of the comedy.) His father and grandfather were great detectives. He is assisted by the kidnapped girl’s sister Nicki (Shawnee Smith). They have a good chemistry. I liked John Candy but this is a trifle. I probably should not have bought it but I did. (At least it was reasonably priced.) There was a brief bit where Harry disguises himself as an Indian American (not Native American). I don’t think it was really mean-spirited but it would not go over well today. I guess this might be considered Candy’s attempt to create an inspector Clouseau type character.
