Movies the giraffe watched in 2020: January (29 movies items)

"Re-watch - Jan. 17th I can't tell you how many times I watched Dragnet when it was on cable, but I've always had a soft spot for it. I hadn't seen it in forever though, so I decided to see how it held up. And I think it's still a good time. There are parts that had stuck with me, and a few that I'd completely forgotten about, but story-wise it's solid. The humor is uneven at times, but when it works it works and you can tell Aykroyd and Hanks are having fun with their respective roles. It's not"

"Hanks and Aykroyd make a fun team in this decent 80s cop comedy."

"24/8/17 Dragnet is one of those films that you remember was funnier than it really is. Dan Aykroyd is a straight-laced, by-the-book cop who is investigating a pagan group that may be linked to a series of crimes. Tom Hanks plays his much looser partner and who gets the funnier lines but on the whole, this is flat, silly and doesn't really carry the same weight it might have done 30 years ago."
