Ladybird - 10/10

I, Tonya - 8/10

Really fun, very good acting and great storytelling style of breaking the 4th wall in a really cool way.

Call Me By Your Name - 7.5/10
Gorgeous setting, good soundtrack and great performance from Timothy Chalamet...but kind of boring the first half of the movie. Actor who played the dad was also good. Armie Hammer is, well, Armie Hammer, but that sort of works for him here.


Insidious: The Last Key - 4/10
Bad way to end the Insidious franchise. The story doesn't really make sense and has lots of plot points that go nowhere. The haunted house is located on the same property as an abandoned prison...but they never explain why or even go inside the prison.

Hostiles 7/10

Logan Lucky 8/10 - Great fun, very smart caper which really wasn't what I expected. Adam Driver was good but Daniel Craig was hilarious.

Office Christmas Party - 7.5/10 - So much funnier than I hoped. A consistently funny and endearing little adult Christmas number.

Trance - 4/10 - Fucking terrible. This was like a shit remake of some weird French film but apparently it's an original opportunity to make another uninspired mess. Danny Boyle is caught in his own hype. He hasn't made a great film for a while and on rewatching none of his films really stand up as well as Shallow Grave. Trainspotting was always overrated but recent Boyle is bizarre and disappointing for me. T2, 127 Hours, Sunshine and Trance are all films that pretty much any generic director could have made.

Brawl In Cell Block 99 - 9/10 - After Bone Tomahawk we get this glorious and timely contribution to the prison genre. It seems like too long since a director making a genre film just said "fuck it" and instead of trope swerving just drives right through them. This is a brilliant film. It has big budget B movie written all over it and stood alongside Bone Tomahawk pushes this writer/director up next to Ben Wheatley and The McDonagh Brothers as one of cinemas best original contributors. Apparently he has 26 scripts sold and they are all in development hell so he's an auteur now. Fantastic.

Lego Batman - 7/10 - Will Arnett is always going to carry a movie this silly to an acceptable laugh ratio.

The Duel - 5/ 10 - A solid formulaic Western with the worst ending and worst ending speech of all time.

Valerian - 7.5/10 - This is what you get when the mind that brought you the Fifth Element gets access to a huge budget twenty years later. This could have been near perfect but it bounced around like a pinball with a bizarrely uneven tone. Cara Delevigne is unspeakably beautiful in it.

Kung Pow: Enter The Fist - 7/10 - I really wish I had seen this when it came out. My tastes are less infantile now so I was cringing half the time and laughing the rest. Had I seen it aged 15 I would have loved it forever.

Blood Father - 6/10 - Eh. I love Mel Gibson and the girl was smoking hot.

The Boss - 7/10 - Funny but too much fluff not a high enough laugh count.

Traffic - 6/10 - Supposedly a masterpiece. I prefer Logan Lucky than this preachy crap. Crash is a better movie than this and Crash aged horribly.

The Grey - 8.5/10 - High tension, high adrenaline action with a fucking amazing director at the helm. This is better than The Revenant.

Narc - 8/10 - Joe Carnahan is probably the best and least appreciated director that nobody can name. Imagine pulling together a police procedural film starring Jason Patric and Ray Liotta in their later careers and having it as a point of pride rather than shame fifteen years down the line.

Leon: The Professional - 6/10

I would have liked it more but Dane dehaan is fucking God awful. Almost every scene he was in took me out of the movie.

I really love Dane DeHaan so I really couldn't agree less. He seems to have made a career being the best thing about disappointing films. Chronicle, A Cure For Wellness and now this. None are bad, just not as good as his performances.

He wasn't quite as bad as Rihanna. I will give you that. I've seen jumper but I can't remember same at all so I may watch that again. He just rubbed me the wrong way in this. He also looks very tired and looks like he needs some rest.

Oh God Rihanna was the worst, least necessary nor enjoyable distraction I have seen in a movie since Sting in those Wing-pants from Dune.

I thought Chronicle was ok.

The Green Room: 3/4 stars.

Good. Nothing fantastic, but a nice take.

Green Room by the guy that did Blue Ruin?
I thought people over hyped that a bit too much before I saw it but it's a solid film with some great characters in it.
Blue Ruin was immense.

It's not going to blow anybody's mind but I think Dane DeHaan is excellent in it.

He looks like he should be the sickly quiet weirdo in everybody's high school experience.

Yeah. I pretty much agree

Moviepass #31 Molly's Game 9/10 all around great movie

Brad's Status - 9/10

Can't believe I've seen two beautiful films in such a short span of time.

Frances Ha - 7/10

There were moments in the movie where I wanted to hug Greta Gerwig for being an adorable person.

Moviepass #32 The Commuter 7.5/10 for the most part it was ok and it was pretty much what you'd expect for a Liam Niesen action movie

agree

Darkest Hour---movie was longer than an hour and it wasn't a horror movie like I thought. Cannot rate.

Those lying bastards

Jumanji 2 - Welcome to the jungle 10/10

I may be in the minority here but i liked this better than the first one and i love this first one.

It's not a sequel.

The Circle 9/10. I love looking at Emma Watson.

Dodgeball - 3/10

You watch3d that movie like 15 years late. It would have been funny if you were younger.

I guess. I enjoyed Zoolander which was around the same time.

I, Tonya - 8.5/10 Good pacing, went by quick. Funny moments, kept me engaged.

The Commuter - 5.5/10 Enjoyable shitty action movie. As movie continued to progress, so did cliche moments. Liked aspects of it, not the worst way to kill an hour or two but nothing impactful overall.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 - 9/10

Amazing movie, so funny, so unexpected, can't wait for more.

Margot Robbie is beautiful but a fucking horrendous actress.

Get Out
10/10

Arrival 4/10. At the end now actually but it's been sooo boring. Only a super amazing ending will make it 5/10 but that's not likely.

Arrival is one of the worst sci fi films i have ever seen. A complete and utter waste of time and resources.
The uderlying theme being that somehow Amy Adams has every right to continue down a path she knows will lead to doom. It's arrogant drivel.

I, Tonya

10 out of 10

I didn't watch the end.

I disagree. I watched it in the theater with one of my coworkers and we were both "blown away".

Well, it was universally praised but you know, opinions.

Loved it.
