Uncut Gems (2019)

I liked this movie. Sandman shows off some major acting chops and worth watching for that alone. It's a little anxiety inducing due to how chaotic many of the scenes are but you end up rooting for Howard regardless of how horrible a person he is.

In Hell (2003)

Ridiculous from start to finish. Jean Claude amazing as always. Not sure why there are so many Americans in a Russian Prison or a Mexican Gang. Lawrence Taylor also in this movie for some reason.

Ad Astra (2019)

Father/Son road trip movie with a twist. Had higher expectations. Didn't like the voice over. The visuals and premise were good but poor execution.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)

I'm embarrassed that I watched this movie. I saw the first one when I was 13. I remember lining up outside the movie theater. Thinking back on that made me realize that this particular version might be enjoyable for 13-14 years and maybe that's what they were going for.

Into the Storm (2014)

This is one of those movies where everyone seems to have a camera and regardless of how much danger their life is in, they never put down the camera. My wish is that the directer would of put down his camera and that this movie would of never been made.

Frank (2014)

I'm not so sure I'd call this a comedy. As amusing as someone wearing a giant fake head is, it does become more sad than funny eventually. The movie itself drags in the middle. Also has an uninspired ending for a movie with such a unique and promising premise.

Starred Up (2013)

Good movie with better acting especially from Jack O'Connell and Ben Mendelsohn. Contains some typical prison movie elements but focuses on an interesting and believable father-son relationship. One tip: use subtitles

Chef (2014)

Charming, feel good, funny movie. Food porn at its best. This is a hard movie not to like.

Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

I wasn't at all interested in seeing another movie where the hero is wearing a weaponized suit and fighting aliens but was pleasantly surprised by this one. This was an entertaining, well paced sci-fi movie.

Bullet to the Head (2013)

Great movie if you want to watch an awful movie and have a good laugh. A straight laced cop teams up with a hitman for some reason to do god knows what. A bunch of people end up killed as the cop repeatedly warns Sly not to kill anyone but never does anything about it.

Wordplay (2006)

Nice doc about the NY times crossword. Follows a similar pattern to other docs about 'nerds' who master a particular skill. I found the discussion about the crossword itself and introduction of the main players much more interesting than the tournament.

Warm Bodies (2013)

A romantic comedy within a zombie movie. As much as you think this wouldn't be predictable and boring, it was. Should of stuck with one or the other. Does give us hope that there can still be love in our lives if we become zombies though.

The Queen of Versailles (2012)

Pretty good documentary. The story itself is your typical rags to riches to rags tale. The father of the family is a player. If anything I learnt that having billions of dollars helps with the ladies. Worth watching for a few hilarious scenes of rich people being rich.

Wish You Were Here (2012)

Anyone planning on spending some time in South-East Asia getting drunk and doing ecstasy should watch this movie. Really liked how two different timelines were linked via flashbacks, nothing new but well done. Joel Edgerton was great. The sister character is really hot.

The Dream Team (2012)

It's an insult to compare any other basketball team to "The Dream Team" Must watch movie for anyone who watched basketball in the late 80s and 90s.

Silver Linings Playbook (2012)

If your a fan of ballroom dancing and a hot girl in yoga pants this is the movie for you. Overall, good movie with better acting. Coop even manages to flex his acting chops. Story gets too Hollywood formulaic in the end with some ridiculous plot lines. Chris Tucker Lives!!
