Twilight
Granted, my enjoyment from this really stems from a place of nostalgia. When you are stuck in foreign country with no way to leave a small outpost, what do you do at night? Watch crappy movies that don't mimic real life.

Dead Poets Society
Let us start with how outstanding Robin Williams was. I am so sad that he isn't around speaking that he made such an impact on so many people in my generation. I still think about Flubber from time to time, Bicentennial Man, Hook, and his stand-up specials. He does so well as does Robert Leonard
Movies
Lee
Andy Samberg from Brooklyn Nine-Nine playing a serious role and killing it. He is my favorite part of this movie. Kate Winslet does a great job, without a doubt. However, Andy playing something so far from what he is known for and doing it without any issues is a testament to his skills.
Movies
Whiplash
Dear sweet baby Jesus, there is a lot of crude language. This isn't "College" language, this is just an overabundance vile and targeted insults that just makes anyone who isn't ready pause the movie. I have heard similar and still said "Well ok then."
Movies
American Assassin
The story is pretty good. Some of the "prep" scenes are questionable and make Rapp out to be a terrible human being rather than a cool guy. I especially have an issue with the range scene. That type of activity is very much frown upon by EVERYONE.
Movies
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
This movie is well received and with good reason. It was very funny and the action with it feels good. There are some very interesting visuals in this as well. I mean the scene with Bradley Cooper is way funnier than it should be.
Movies
Twisters
I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I had heard good things, but Glen Powell usually annoys me so I was expecting the same. However, this did really well. He is much more human and less pretty boy in this movie and I liked it.
Movies
Dune Part Two
I know people call this a 10, however it isn't there. Timothy does a great job with one major exception. He monologue in the South. Every time I watch it, I am just dragged out of the movie because it doesn't feel believable as compared to the rest of the movie.
Movies
Bad Boys
Will and Martin are a great paring, which is why in 2024 we got a new Bad Boys movie that I am looking forward to watching. This isn't Oscar worthy, I mean it is an early Michael Bay, but it is very enjoyable to watch. They do a great job of just working off of each other and pushing the envelope
Movies
The Substance
This is a weird movie. It wasn't what I was thinking it was going to be and honestly I didn't life it. I just think movies that show grotesque events, Dennis Quid chewing life a maniac, for the sake of just being gross. It doesn't add anything to the movie, and removes from the substance
Movies
Flight Risk
What a way to start off a movie with crappy AI video. I have never been so immediately turned off of a show or movie than I was with this pure fiction of a opening sequence. I mean White Lotus starts off with a dude holding his... "Pillar and stones" and this was more appalling.
Movies
Soul Surfer
Speaking that this is based on a true story, the story is good and inspiring. It is really impressive what she was able to do so shortly after the attack. I hope she is still able to help others who have lost limbs to push forward into "normal."
