Inside Man
The acting is great though. Outside the writing, I feel the cast dove into their characters and it was really good to see. There isn't anyone that I feel cheated the role or anything else. They all are dedicated to it.

London has Fallen
I have no idea how this movie was given a 25% from Rotten Tomatoes and audiences gave it a 50%. What this movie and Olympus Has Fallen do really well is setup the story with action that pulls at your heart strings.

Don't Worry Darling
It is not often that I don't see the twist coming, but damn was I wrong, kind of, about the ending of this movie. They story itself is wildly incoherent at times, but it is intentional once you see the end. I think in general the story itself is a little confusing even at the end.
Movies
Gladiator
This is an oldy but a goody. Russell Crowe does an amazing job for a completely historically inaccurate movie. So I was watching this and guess it was the extended version because I saw some scenes I have NEVER seen before. I agree they should have removed them as they just really slowed down
Movies
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
This movie is way funnier than it should be. Alan Ritchson and Henry Cavill play so well off of each other for this comedic moments, there are times you'd think it was a comedy rather than an action movie. You wouldn't be wrong though, it is a comedy.

Sisu
This movie is crazy. I knew the John Wick folks were involved, but they did not leave anything on the table. The story is simple telling only what needs to be told and nothing else. Legitimately, in the entire movie there is probably 200 - 300 words spoken.

Darkest Hour
This is part of an unintended trilogy that all cover the same event, the evacuation of Dunkirk. I recently saw and old Graham Norton Show interview were Hugh Jackman gushed over Gary Oldman's performance on this movie and having never seen it, I felt I had to

Transformers: Rise of the Beast
I thought this was going to be on the same level as the newer ones and while those are bad, this one somehow manages to dig itself lower. The voice acting is probably the best thing, where the writing basically written by a 6 year old telling you a story.

Lessons for the Living
Within 3 weeks of each other, two movies came out about the 90 year old Bernie Jordan who escaped his nursing home to go to a D-Day remembrance. One told the true story, the other fabricating plot points, but both telling the same story of guilt and responsibility.

The Last Rifleman
I have so much to say and at the same time so little to say. The long and short is that Pierce Brosnan is outstanding in his role and tells a wonderful story. I am honestly not sure what to say other than watch it.
Movies
The Great Escaper
This movie is a testament to love, courage, and the lessons that never leave us. Showing you the beauty of 70 years of love and knowing each other can bring out the best in you, even when you don't know it still needs to be pulled out.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom
I am so mad at how dumb this movie is. Scene stolen from Star Wars, the Cantina line and the Jabba the Hut intro scene, the characters from Street Sharks, and lastly "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids". It was corny, bro-y, and just over the top stupid.
