John Wick 2
This movie is basically part 5 and 6 of the first movie. On it's own, it doesn't have the same level of punch to the story or the pacing that was in the first movie.

John Wick
This movie set a tone for most action movies that no one realized needed a change. We have made fun of movies that never reload, but this movie made realistic gun fights something that people look forward to. The level of dedication that the cast put into is so high.

The Dark Knight
Heath Ledger. His performance alone made this movie Oscar worthy and I am pretty sure he did win an Oscar for this role. He is just outstanding and completely believable as an "Agent of Chaos." For some really in depth analysis about his actions in this movie, watch this video.

Batman Begins
This is a fantastic movie. Christian Bale really set up a world that people loved. His and Gary Oldman's dedication to characters really made this an enjoyable movie to watch acting wise. As it is Nolan, there is a lot of practical explosions and that makes this movie.

The Dark Knight Rises
This is another Christopher Nolan masterpiece and in my opinion better, the story is better than The Dark Knight. The hard exception to that hot take is Heath Ledger. He kills it, but we aren't talking about that in this movie.

Batman and Psychology
Travis Langley does a fantastic job of describing Batman through the ages, from Adam West to Christian Bale. Both dispelling myths about homoeroticism and Batman's psyche then enshrining and elevating the relationships and responsibilities of both the Bat Family and the most popular enemies.

57 Seconds
What a garbage movie. This should have been a made for TV movie because there is nothing of true quality about it. For instance, you can hear them do a voice over. They obviously had to go back and AVR it because the volume on these lines is about 3 levels higher and a different quality microphone.

I am really not sure how to review this since it was so superficial. Most of the entry point of the book, we will say the first half, are very surface level items have been said in other places.

Outlaw King
This is an amazing movie with an accelerated telling of years of battle against the English for the freedom of Scotland. We all know Mel Gibson's famous telling of William Wallace in Braveheart because we have all at once used the "FREEEEEEDOOOM" gif when leaving for the weekend.

Running Blind
Jack Reacher is once again caught in the middle of a situation that plunges him into the investigation of a killer using ritualistic patterns to kill their victims. Lee Child does a much better job in this book telling a story that makes you think about how it is unfolding.
