Juror #2

the acting is superb. I recently was on jury duty myself and can tell you that the reasons that people try to get out of jury duty is crazy. There is also that idea of not trusting anyone and people who are against the grain and see things the other way.

Movies

Conclave

I was reminded of how good Ralph Fiennes is and luckily enough, this movie came out, and we see him be more than triumphant. This entire movie follows him and he just kills it. There isn't a scene where you can see him out of character.

Movies

Carry-On

The story is good. The idea that the Military Industrial Complex would attempt to kill someone so they could get more funding matches everything I know about contract companies. Especially those that have former special operators with a laxed moral complex.

Harry Potter Movie Series

This is going to be, if it isn't already, a classic for Millennials. We grew up with it, ABC Family plays it every holiday. It is just a great set of movies that ends so well. There are some parts that are not the greatest, and some massive changes as compared to the book,

Movies

Reagan

Let me start off by saying it was an informative movie. I knew his work with Gorbachev thanks to books like The Main Enemy and his relationship with Margaret Thatcher thanks to The Spy and the Traitor, but a lot of the others items I didn't know.

Movies

Heretic

This is the role that in my mental image of Hugh Grant, he should play. He has always come across as a creep to me. I didn't like him in The Gentlemen, I have seen clips from his old RomComs and those are atrocious. This is where he just fits the bill. A condescending, egotistical, elitist...

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

the scene where Harry and Voldemort take a tour of Hogwarts together, and it feels like an iconic scene as far as style. However, it is probably the most egregious use of CGI, but it might be the only one that really bothers me. The story overall is so well told. You get to see some serious...

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1

"Harry Potter and the Extending Camping Trip," but I think this is one of the better and more true to book movies out of the series. There are somethings that I wish they had left in like the change in relationship for Kreacher and Harry, but I overall, it is well done.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Movie)

Daniel Radcliff's performance alongside Michael Gambon is incredible. These two do a fantastic job of showing the student teacher relationship as it should be. Daniel has learned so much and has gotten so much better.

Movies

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Movie)

If Voldemort is as strong of an Occulamentist or whatever they call it, then he should have known that Harry was seeing inside his head. I heard an argument that his arrogance stops him from thinking others are good enough to hide from him, but that is garbage. You'd think he'd know when someone..

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Movie)

This movie is really underrated, but at the same time I understand why people are not a big fan of this. We see these teenagers grow up and with that, some very questionable hair choices. I know this because this came out when I was high school and everyone was growing their hair out to match ...

Movies

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Movie)

As I grew up, I was never a big fan of this movie. However, watching it now and it is better than I remember. You get some solid growth in the young actors and their characters while continuing the story that ends up being a larger portion of the overall story.

Movies

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Movie)

Like the book, this is my least favorite movie. While it does setup the idea that wasn't realized by the time of filming/writing that the horocrux's were a thing, overall it is a continuation of this formulaic movie creation.

Movies

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Movie)

ABC Family TV has basically made the holidays a Harry Potter marathon and since I have been doing a lot of traveling and the announcement of the Harry Potter TV show I thought it was appropriate to watch them again. With that, this series starts off with a bang

Movies

The Bikeriders

I wasn't sure what I was expecting from this movie, but it wasn't this. This was a consistent pace with lots of drama. There are peaks of action that kept you involved. Overall, I think that it was a good movie to watch and was more enjoyable than I expected.

Movies

Trap

I enjoyed the movie and the acting was good. There wasn't as much suspense as the trailers presented or as previous movies and waiting for that is still happening. It never happens. That is what really hurts this movie and because of that ...

Movies

Immaculate

I am honestly not sure why I watched this other than it being the beginning of spooky season, and I am very sorry that I did. I was expecting a horror film and got a nun slasher film with plot holes and unanswered questions the size of a VW bus.

Movies

Ransom

This 90s film feels outdated with cornstarch blood and exaggerated gun effects. While the plot, shifting between victims and kidnappers, lacks depth in the kidnappers' motives, Mel Gibson and Rene Russo’s performances stand out. Despite slow pacing, it's still an entertaining watch.

Movies

Rebel Ridge

All the major players are so good. Playing there characters with such dedication and religiousness to them. None of these people failed at making you believe they are who they are. The weirdest thing? There is no mention of "Rebel Ridge" other than once, and it doesn't play a part in the movie.

Movies

Valkyrie

This film, based on a true story about the final assassination attempt on Hitler, flew under the radar despite its stellar cast. The acting, especially from Tom Cruise, is top-notch. It's historically intriguing and enjoyable, with minimal violence and worth the watch.

Movies

Good Will Hunting

I have never watched this movie from beginning to end, seeing scenes online or catching part of it when it was on TV. However, now that I have watched it, I can tell that I had seen more than I thought. I can also tell you that those scenes influenced so much of my growing life.

Movies

Civil War

I think maturity now shows Kirsten Dunst true beauty. I know that has no place in this review, but her intelligence and morality in this movie really makes her stand out against all the other cast as a true beacon of honesty in the press and beauty in a dirt, hateful, and disgusting world.

Movies

Hereditary

The pace of the movie is a slow and crawls by, but you are dragged with it by these pulses of craziness. You are left in a state of "What the hell?" that makes you just raise your eyebrows and continue to lean in.

Movies

Maxxxine

he best of the three movies in this series, but by far the slowest and the weakest ending. This movie had a great cast weirdly. Kevin Bacon, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito, and of course Mia Goth. This movie is a lot easier to watch as it isn't covered in porn...
