This 1987 Nicolas Cage film is definitely outdated, but I can see how it would’ve been a standout movie for its time. Overall, I enjoyed it, but I wouldn’t necessarily call it a must-watch for everyone. It’s fun and chaotic, but it didn’t leave a huge impact on me. It was cool to see Nicolas Cage at 22 years old since most of his movies that I have watched he is in his 50s+. " Fast-paced farce about an unlikely pair who go to extreme lengths to have a child. When an incompetent robber marries a policewoman, they discover that they are infertile. In order to appease his wife's longings for a child, the man steals one of a set of quintuplets, but mayhem ensues when the child's rich father sends a rabbit-shooting bounty hunter after the kidnapper."

I’m not really sure what I was expecting going into this film since I didn’t read any descriptions beforehand, but it ended up being pretty interesting. It does feel a bit dated now, but I think it still holds up well enough. I was entertained, though it wasn’t anything over-the-top or amazing for me personally. The ratings are super high, so maybe I just didn’t fully see the vision the way others did. " This Is Spinal Tap" shines a light on the self-contained universe of a metal band struggling to get back on the charts, including everything from its complicated history of ups and downs, gold albums, name changes and undersold concert dates, along with the full host of requisite groupies, promoters, hangers-on and historians, sessions, release events and those special behind-the-scenes moments that keep it all real."

This is pretty much exactly what you’d expect from a Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa action-comedy, which isn’t usually my favorite mix of genres. That said, it was still entertaining and kept my attention, even if it was as cringey as you’d expect. It ’s not a complete waste of time, but if you’re looking for a solid action movie, there are 100% better options out there. This one falls into Fast and Furious territory. " Estranged half-brothers Jonny and James reunite after their father's mysterious death. As they search for the truth, buried secrets reveal a conspiracy threatening to tear their family apart."

This movie had great potential but completely flopped for me. With a title like this, I expected a thriller or horror like it claims to be, but it ended up feeling more like a slow drama. It never really matched the intensity I was hoping for, and I spent most of the film waiting for it to actually start. The concept was interesting, but the execution left me wanting more the entire time . " After a catastrophic military disaster, the dead don't just rise, they hunt. Ava searches for her missing husband, but what she finds is far more terrifying."

I honestly don’t understand how this movie has an 80% rating from both critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. Maybe I missed something, but I found it pretty boring. The story is basically about a group of sisters trapped in their home by their extremely religious mother, and for most of the movie, nothing really happens. There’s barely any rebellion, aside from one sister, and it just didn’t hold my attention. This film is severely overrated, even though I can admit the acting was really strong. " In an ordinary suburban house, on a lovely tree-lined street, in the middle of 1970s America, lived the five beautiful, dreamy Lisbon sisters, whose doomed fates indelibly marked the neighborhood boys who to this day continue to obsess over them. A story of love and repression, fantasy and terror, sex and death, memory and longing. It is at its core a mystery story: a heart-rending investigation into the impenetrable, life-altering secrets of American adolescence."

I was honestly a bit bored and annoyed by almost every character in this film. It’s ranked in the top 100 movies of this century, and I’d have to agree with the Rotten Tomatoes audience score sitting in the 60% range. The acting was strong and I liked the overall plot, but it just didn’t fully hit for me . " Larry Gopnik (Michael Stuhlbarg) is a physics professor at a 1960s university, but his life is coming apart at the seams. His wife (Sari Lennick) is leaving him, his jobless brother (Richard Kind) has moved in, and someone is trying to sabotage his chances for tenure. Larry seeks advice from three different rabbis, but whether anyone can help him overcome his many afflictions remains to be seen."

This 2012 drama follows a young woman who feels lost in New York and is trying to figure out her life. While I wasn’t a huge fan of the movie being shot entirely in black and white, the acting was excellent and the story was enjoyable. Greta Gerwig’s character was annoying at times, but that just shows how well she played the role. . " A story that follows a New York woman, who doesn't really have an apartment. She apprentices for a dance company although she's not really a dancer, and throws herself headlong into her dreams."

This was a Denzel Washington and Spike Lee production. I had really high expectations but the acting was terrible for the front half of the film. The ending was solid but most of the film was meh. I don't know how it has such great reviews but maybe it was feeding into the actors/producer being well known staples in the industry. " When a powerful music mogul is targeted by a ransom plot, he is forced to fight for his family and legacy while jammed up in a life-or-death moral dilemma."

I didn't get it. I dont understand how it has good reviews. I don't know how people enjoyed this. " With her life crashing down around her, Linda tries to navigate her daughter's mysterious illness, her absent husband, a missing person, and an increasingly hostile relationship with her therapist."

I watched this film on a plane last night and ended up loving it far more than the general consensus. The acting is excellent, the cast is perfectly chosen, the story is emotionally rich, and the ending is deeply satisfying. Maybe it’s because I haven’t seen many great films recently, but it honestly felt like one of the best romantic comedies I’ve watched in years. " In an afterlife where souls have one week to decide where to spend eternity, Joan is faced with the impossible choice between the man she spent her life with, and her first love, who died young and has waited decades for her to arrive."

Brendan Fraser was fantastic in this role, and I’m surprised this one flew under the radar. The acting was strong, and the plot felt refreshingly unique,something genuinely different. I really enjoyed it, and the ending was good not great. "Struggling to find purpose, an American actor lands an unusual gig with a Japanese agency, playing stand-in roles for strangers. As he immerses himself in his clients’ worlds, he begins to form genuine bonds that blur the line between performance and reality. Confronting the moral complexities of his work, he ultimately rediscovers purpose, belonging, and the quiet beauty of human connection."

This film was okay, and I can understand why it’s getting good reviews, but it felt more like a children’s movie that adults can also watch. It’s hard to explain, but it just wasn’t for me. I lost interest in the plot almost immediately. I also thought the acting was weak, even though the concept itself was interesting. " Ten-year-old Aurora asks a hit man to kill the monster she believes ate her entire family. To protect her, he'll need to battle an onslaught of assassins while accepting the fact that some monsters are real."
