This week I was able to watch a couple of movies via streaming. First one was Ferrari by Michael Mann and the second was Transformer One.

Ferrari- It was ok. I feel like this movie could've been a lot better. Mann said he's been planning this movie for over 30 years. A bit disappointing for a movie that's been on his mind for 30 years. It was more like a snap-shot in time type of movie. The year was 1957 and during that year Ferrari was going broke. So, it included his extreme love of racing and wanting to be the best, his company almost going broke and lots of stuff going on in his personal life. It was more of a documentary than anything else. One thing it did show was how dangerous racing was back in that day. I will say the acting was pretty good. Final score is 6/10.

Transformers One- Fun movie. Wasn't expecting much going in. Just thought I would check it out. Animation was actually pretty good. Overall story was good as well. It's a prequel to all Transformer movies. The story of how Megatron became Megatron and how Optimus Prime became Optimus Prime. If you have Paramount+ you'll be able to check it out. Final score 8/10.

You're too generous.

I give Ferrari a 5/10 and Transformers One 7/10.

Didn't watch Ferrari because of the reviews . Sounds a lot like Saturday Night. It is fun to see all the characters there from when it started, but it feels a lot like the short bits in the show. They all lead up to the first show, but they feel disconnected from each other because of how it is presented, like a bunch of skits lol.

I watched Transformers cartoons as a kid. After the movies were all disappointments, I was not so hyped to see this one either. Might give it a shot.

The Substance 4k Disc

Watched The Substance on 4k disc this last weekend. Stars Demi Moore, Dennis Quaid and Margaret Qualley. I really like this movie. All the actors do an amazing job with their roles. Demi Moore's performance was top notch. With how crazy this movie gets, seeing her in this was awesome. Dennis Quaid's role is not something you would see him do, but I have to say he played his part very well.

As far as the actual 4k picture and sound go, all were pretty good. They had a 5.1 soundtrack. The picture was clean and there were tons of colors throughout the movie that popped. Lots of bright colors. They have a lot of closeup shots in this movie, so you'll be able to see tons of details in those closeups.

If you like movies that are outside the norm, you have to give this a view. The performances are definitely worth seeing. I believe Demi Moore is nominated for an Oscar for this performance and she won the Golden Globe. Some scenes can be a bit gruesome and grotesque. So, just know that going into this movie. Overall I'm giving The Substance a 9/10.

Enjoyed “The Substance” as well. Dennis Quaid did a fine job and actually replaced Ray Liotta who passed away before filming his scenes. I would like to have seen Ray’s performance of that character.
