- DirectorBenny SafdieJosh SafdieStarsAdam SandlerJulia FoxIdina MenzelWith his debts mounting and angry collectors closing in, a fast-talking New York City jeweler risks everything in hope of staying afloat and alive.Fantastic film, very loud, kinetic, and tense from beginning to end. Didn't care for the ending too much, but this will definitely be a buy on blu-ray.
- DirectorAntoine FuquaStarsGerard ButlerAaron EckhartMorgan FreemanSecret Service agent Mike Banning finds himself trapped inside the White House in the wake of a terrorist attack and works with national security to rescue the President from his kidnappers.Rewatch. Pretty entertaining, if mildly depressing, action film. I might review this and change my score to a 7. Loved the raw, intense action, but the film did feel pretty cheesy at times. Overall tho, a real fun action film.
- DirectorJake KasdanStarsDwayne JohnsonJack BlackKevin HartIn Jumanji: The Next Level, the gang is back but the game has changed. As they return to rescue one of their own, the players will have to brave parts unknown from arid deserts to snowy mountains, to escape the world's most dangerous game.I thought this movie was funny at parts, but unfortunately my mom and I both thought it was kind of boring. It's okay, but I prefer the previous Jumanji movie much more.
- DirectorNicolas PesceStarsTara WestwoodJunko BaileyDavid Lawrence BrownA house is cursed by a vengeful ghost that dooms those who enter it with a violent death.Honestly, not a half bad film. Some of the dialogue and editing were cringy, but a few jump scares legitimately scared me, and the atmosphere was creepy too.
- DirectorWilliam EubankStarsKristen StewartVincent CasselMamoudou AthieA crew of oceanic researchers working for a deep sea drilling company try to get to safety after a mysterious earthquake devastates their deepwater research and drilling facility located at the bottom of the Mariana Trench.A fun time for the most part, but I found the dark atmosphere and shaky camera to really be a detriment to the film, as half the time I couldn't tell what was happening.
- DirectorSam MendesStarsDean-Charles ChapmanGeorge MacKayDaniel MaysApril 6th, 1917. As an infantry battalion assembles to wage war deep in enemy territory, two soldiers are assigned to race against time and deliver a message that will stop 1,600 men from walking straight into a deadly trap.Technically, an incredible film, shot to look like it was all done in only one take. There are a handful of intense, emotional scenes that were riveting to watch in a theatre, but overall I didn't enjoy this movie as much as I thought I would.
- CreatorMike FlanaganStarsMichiel HuismanCarla GuginoHenry ThomasFlashing between past and present, a fractured family confronts haunting memories of their old home and the terrifying events that drove them from it.The first 7 episodes were some of the best TV I've ever watching. After that, and especially in the finale, the show started to lost momentum and dissolve into an ending that I personally did not find satisfying, but overall I adore this show and can't wait to share it with others.
- DirectorGuy RitchieStarsMatthew McConaugheyCharlie HunnamMichelle DockeryAn American expat tries to sell off his highly profitable marijuana empire in London, triggering plots, schemes, bribery and blackmail in an attempt to steal his domain out from under him.Loved this movie! Such a fun time, hilarious in parts and super intense in others. Can't wait to see it again.
- DirectorFloria SigismondiStarsMackenzie DavisFinn WolfhardBrooklynn PrinceA young governess is hired to look after an orphaned girl, but the return of the girl's problematic brother uncovers secrets from their past. A modern take on Henry James' novella "The Turn of the Screw."Honestly, a snooze fest, which is a shame because I loved the trailer. The movie looks great in the beginning, but then turns into a plotless, plodding mess.
- DirectorReed MoranoStarsBlake LivelyRichard BrakeElly CurtisA woman seeks revenge against those who orchestrated a plane crash that killed her family.Ehh, it was okay. The acting was good, and the direction was okay, but the plot was borderline incomprehensible. I probably won't watch this one again.
- DirectorOz PerkinsStarsSophia LillisSamuel LeakeyAlice KrigeA long time ago in a distant fairy tale countryside, a young girl leads her little brother into a dark wood in desperate search of food and work, only to stumble upon a nexus of terrifying evil.Visually, this movie is gorgeous, and Sophia Lillis is great as usual, but at 87 minutes this movie feels much longer than it is. It's light on plot and full of dream sequences, and because of that nothing really happens. I'll probably give this a re-watch at home though once it released on Blu-Ray.
- DirectorCathy YanStarsMargot RobbieRosie PerezMary Elizabeth WinsteadAfter splitting with the Joker, Harley Quinn joins superheroines Black Canary, Huntress, and Renee Montoya to save a young girl from an evil crime lord.Such a fun movie! Loud music, bright explosions of neon colour, loads of action, and it's just a good time from beginning to end. Can't wait to see it again.
- DirectorJeff WadlowStarsMichael PeñaMaggie QLucy HaleWhen the owner and operator of a luxurious island invites a collection of guests to live out their most elaborate fantasies in relative seclusion, chaos quickly descends.On entertainment value alone I'd recommend this movie. It's full of hot women (and men if you're into that), intriguing concepts, and enough thrills to fit in Disneyland. Yeah, it's nonsensical and ridiculous, but what do you expect? Go have fun.
- DirectorBenny SafdieJosh SafdieStarsRobert PattinsonBenny SafdieJennifer Jason LeighAfter a botched bank robbery lands his younger brother in prison, Connie Nikas embarks on a twisted odyssey through New York City's underworld to get his brother Nick out of jail.What a crazy film. It's unpredictable, to say the least. I thought the first 22 minutes were the best part, but it doesn't stop ever being thrilling. I enjoyed it, but perhaps not as much as others seem to be.
- DirectorChris HenchyStarsPaula AbdulJoe GattoJames MurrayThe story of a humiliating high school mishap from 1992 that sends the Impractical Jokers on the road competing in hidden-camera challenges for the chance to turn back the clock and redeem three of the four Jokers.Absolutely hilarious! I had reservations going in because I didn't know how the show would translate to the scree, but I shouldn't have worried. I was in tears from laughing at multiple points, and I can't wait to watch this again.
- DirectorJeff FowlerStarsBen SchwartzJames MarsdenJim CarreyAfter discovering a small, blue, fast hedgehog, a small-town police officer must help him defeat an evil genius who wants to do experiments on him.This is a kids movie through and through. The children in the audience were loving it, and there's really not much else to say. Jim Carrey was fun, Sonic was adorable, and the special effects were cool. You can watch this and have a good time.
- DirectorSeverin FialaVeronika FranzStarsRiley KeoughJaeden MartellLia McHughA soon-to-be stepmom is snowed in with her fiancé's two children at a remote holiday village. Just as relations begin to thaw between the trio, some strange and frightening events take place.LOVED this movie so much. Fantastic slow burn, dripping with dread and unease, and made me legitimately uncomfortable and afraid. As the character's felt like they were going crazy, so did I. Incredible film.
- DirectorLeigh WhannellStarsElisabeth MossOliver Jackson-CohenHarriet DyerWhen Cecilia's abusive ex takes his own life and leaves her his fortune, she suspects his death was a hoax. As a series of coincidences turn lethal, Cecilia works to prove that she is being hunted by someone nobody can see.Actually a good movie, which surprised me. Pretty exciting with an extremely thrilling 3rd act. Definitely going to be buying this one.
- DirectorGavin O'ConnorStarsBen AffleckAl MadrigalJanina GavankarJack Cunningham was a high school basketball phenom who walked away from the game, forfeiting his future. Years later, when he reluctantly accepts a coaching job at his alma mater, he may get one last shot at redemption.I really enjoyed this movie, but mostly because I really love Ben Affleck. This is more of a character study than a sports movie, and it goes in some interesting, and inspiring, directions.
- CreatorJonathan EntwistleChristy HallStarsSophia LillisWyatt OleffSofia BryantSydney is a teenage girl navigating the trials and tribulations of high school while dealing with the complexities of her family, her budding sexuality, and mysterious superpowers just beginning to awaken deep within her.Absolutely loved this show and I hope there's a season 2. It's so sweet, funny, and watchable, and if you like the game Life Is Strange, this will give you major LiS vibes.
- DirectorDave WilsonStarsVin DieselEiza GonzálezSam HeughanRay Garrison, a slain soldier, is re-animated with superpowers.You know, this wasn't that bad. It's a simple, generic action movie. It's entertaining for what it is, and if you like action films I see no reason why you wouldn't like this.
- DirectorPeter BergStarsMark WahlbergLauren CohanIko UwaisA small team of elite American intelligence officers, part of a top-secret tactical command unit, try to smuggle a mysterious police officer with sensitive information out of Indonesia.Ehh, this was okay. The plot itself was good enough, and the ending was really good, but the action was filled to the brim with so much quick cuts and shaky cam that it was incredibly hard to tell what was happening, which detracted from my enjoyment of the film.
- DirectorMatthew RossStarsMichael ShannonImogen PootsCarlos Moreno Jr.A psychosexual noir love story, set in Las Vegas and Paris, about love, obsession, sex, betrayal, revenge and, ultimately, the search for redemption.Actually a pretty good film. Intense when it needs to be and romantic when appropriate, this is a film to purely to watch because of the acting of the two leads. Wasn't a big fan of the open ending, but overall a good flick.
- DirectorNicole HolofcenerStarsBen MendelsohnNatalie GoldThomas MannAfter leaving his wife and his job to find happiness, Anders befriends a drug-addicted teen, sending him down a path of reckless and shameful behavior.I enjoyed this one, if only because Ben Mendelsohn was in it. And chances are if you watch it, you're watching it for him. This is more of a slice of life type film, and it's good for what it is, elevated by Ben's performance.
- DirectorNora FingscheidtStarsHelena ZengelAlbrecht SchuchGabriela Maria Schmeide9-year-old Benni is a toss-up between institutions that cannot tackle her outbursts. She wants to move in with her mother, but she can not handle her wild daughter. After Micha is hired Benni slowly opens up and attaches herself to him.Incredible, absolutely emotional film about a 9 year old girl with a history of PTSD and her social worker's quest to find her a permanent living facility. This movie is just heartbreaking, and you really want to see the main character find love and something stable. The ending wasn't the greatest, and this movie does require a stomach of steel to watch because of it's intense subject matter, but if you can pull through, I guarantee you'll find it rewarding viewing
