^Doesn't seem too different from Zach Burner's other posts. Fewer parentheses, but similar long sentences. (Skimmed a few of his posts to see if there was a change.)

"Home Alone" (1990) of course no Christmas time is complete without this classic! Sequels come and go, but they can't match this one....always loved the blowtorch on the door, nail on the steps, iron in the chute, and the paint can traps. But of course there's the sweet moment between Kevin and Old Man Marley that warms the heart.

I thought it is politic and on point. Nicely put, AI in a movie about AI.
Admittedly, I got in there first with Future world. Which was not a tenth as good as West world. Futureworld contains the old trope of replacing humans with robots. Set in a high tech airport, it looks very dated now. Also, the quality of the work to make the worlds
AI description of the movie
""Futureworld" is a 1976 sci-fi thriller and the sequel to the 1973 film "Westworld." Directed by Richard T. Heffron, the movie continues the story of the Delos amusement park, where robots once caused chaos. In this sequel, the park has been rebuilt and rebranded, featuring new futuristic attractions, including the titular Futureworld.
The plot follows journalists Chuck Browning, played by Peter Fonda, and Tracy Ballard, played by Blythe Danner, who are invited to experience the reopened Delos park. They uncover sinister plans involving the replacement of influential people with android duplicates.
The film blends elements of mystery, science fiction, and action, showcasing advanced robotics and futuristic concepts that were imaginative for the 1970s. It's a fascinating exploration of technology and its potential consequences, wrapped in a thrilling narrative.

Also, worth a look is The Ultimate Warrior with Yul Brenner. After the apocalypse. No AI in.

Ive been watching “Dirty Work” with Norm MacDonald, from 1998, which is awesome. Unfortunately he didn’t do another movie in a leading role, but it’s very funny.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I loved Norm, and there's a lot of big names in this.
Lousy reviews, but what do critic's know??

If you're a fan of low brow 90s comedy such as Adam Sandler and Chris Farley then I recommend it. Especially if you like Norm McDonald.

To me, it’s an amazing movie and one of the best comedies of all time. Movie critics are the worst. I always say that music and movie critics, especially the latter, are horrible.

The last movie critic I gave a damn about was Roger Ebert. He was at least articulate and often hilarious in his opinions.

Red one. The Rock is back, in the worst movie of the year. Along with tosh like the suicide squad game. The rock is only 52 but in this movie he looks about 72. He had aged but that is no bad thing even for a muscle jock. Reportedly, Dwayne got 55 million dollars to star in this movie. Now if you thought Black Adam was a stinker, you will be in for a big surprise as this effects driven tosh is even worse. It reminded me a lot of Van Helsing, remember that 120 million bomb? Or Wild wild west. You throw all the effects and money into a movie, get big stars but forget the most important part, the plot.
Spoiler alert.
Santa has been kidnapped. By about 10 mins in you really want the bad guys to win. I kind of wish they had kidnapped the rock instead of JP Simmons as he is the only one who can actually act. What follows is predictable action comedy. It is just average. I think average is being really generous. Below average movie that after seeing it once you will never want to watch it again.
