  • P.S. I Love You (6.4/10)

    Nicole had been wanting me to watch this 2007 RomCom film with her. As much as I loved the premise, I think the execution fell a bit short. Some scenes felt overly sentimental or just plain cringey, and certain bits of dialogue didn’t land the way they were meant to. Still, the emotional core is strong, and there’s something touching about how the film explores love, loss, and moving on — even if it could’ve used a more subtle hand. " When Gerry (Gerard Butler), the husband of Holly Kennedy (Hilary Swank), dies from an illness, she loses the love of her life. Knowing how hard Holly will take his death, Gerry plans ahead. Beginning on her 30th birthday, she receives the first in a series of letters written by him, designed to ease her grief and encourage her to move forward to a new life."

  • Once (7.4/10)

    A short Irish drama/musical that feels somewhat outdated despite its 2007 release — visually, it could easily be mistaken for something shot in the '90s. I don't think anyone should add this to their list despite its great reviews. The story is simple and sweet, centering on a vacuum repairman (Glen Hansard) who moonlights as a street musician, dreaming of his big break. When a Czech immigrant (Markéta Irglová), who sells flowers to make ends meet, discovers his music, she reveals her own ambitions as a singer-songwriter. The two begin to collaborate, and the heartfelt songs they write together mirror the quiet, developing connection between them.

  • Sinners (8.7/10)

    This was not what I was expecting at all. I didn't know the plot that well going in so it took me a bit by suprise but I enjoyed it a ton. Dynamic acting mixed with good dialogue. I don't think this is a film meant for everyone, there are some fantasy elements. " Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their Mississippi hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back."

  • The Assessment (6.9/10)

    This is a futuristic Sci-Fi starring Elizabeth Olsen. It is an odd concept that wasn't for me but I found it interesting. I don't think many people would like this film. I was often bored and felt out of the loop on what was going on in society during this film which I wish they touched on more. " In a not-so-distant future where parenthood is strictly controlled, a couple's mysterious seven-day assessment for the right to have a child unravels into a nightmare, forcing them to question the very foundations of society."

  • Bring Her Back (5.8/10)

    This movie will give you anxiety when watching it. It was a scary movie with a lot of suspense that felt like the suspense would never end. It is an absurd concept. The acting was great. It was a bit slow moving and half way through I was ready for it to be over. " A brother and sister witness a terrifying ritual at the secluded home of their new foster mother."

  • I Don't Understand You (6.7/10)

    A Nick Kroll comedy that has its up and downs. I laughed a ton during this movie but there were some moments that felt forced and a bit boring. There is a scene in the film that takes up over half of the film, which I am not a fan of. The ending was solid, no complaints. "Dom and Cole set out on the perfect Italian getaway. But after getting lost on the way to dinner, they end up stranded in a storm, offend the locals, and-whoops-accidentally kill a beloved restaurant owner. With no cell service or language skills, the body count continues to rise as their romantic escape goes completely off the rails."

  • The Ballad of Wallis Island (8.2/10)

    I thought this had a great theme to the movie and the ending was great. A bit slow at times but the slow build up was worth the emotional ending. Some bits of the characters seemed a bit funky with the storyline but you can look past it. "Old tensions resurface when former bandmates who were former lovers reunite for a private show at the island home of an eccentric millionaire."

  • Superman (6.7/10)

    Shoutout to Chris for taking me to the Warner Brother premiere. So far the rotten tomatoes scores are very high. I thought the movie was really solid but nothing really amazed me or surpassed any top Marvel movies in terms of the superhero category. Fine acting, some good laughs, but overall fine. " When Superman gets drawn into conflicts at home and abroad, his actions are questioned, giving tech billionaire Lex Luthor the opportunity to get the Man of Steel out of the way for good. Will intrepid reporter Lois Lane and Superman's four-legged companion, Krypto, be able to help him before it's too late?"

  • Copycat (7.6/10)

    A 1995 thriller that is a bit outdated but still entertaining. Worth to potentially add to your list if you want an older film but nothing spectacular. " Deeply shaken after being assaulted by a deranged man (Harry Connick Jr.), Dr. Helen Hudson (Sigourney Weaver) must face her fears if she is to help solve a series of murders. Helen is a psychologist who has studied serial killers, but this case, in which the crimes seem modeled on the work of infamous deviants, is grimmer than most. With the help of two San Francisco police officers (Holly Hunter, Dermot Mulroney), Helen tries to come between the murderer and his next victim."

  • The Old Guard 2 (3.3/10)

    I remember the first movie being mediocre but this is a disaster. Not worth anyone's time. I tuned out for the second half. " Andy and her team of immortal warriors are back, with a renewed sense of purpose in their mission to protect the world. With Booker still in exile after his betrayal, and Quynh out for revenge after escaping her underwater prison, Andy grapples with her newfound mortality as a mysterious threat emerges that could jeopardize everything she’s worked towards for thousands of years. Andy, Nile, Joe, Nicky and James Copley enlist the help of Tuah, an old friend who may provide the key to unlocking the mystery behind immortal existence."

  • Jurassic World: Rebirth (5.5/10)

    Jurassic World is on such a huge decline that they need more manpower casting Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali. I am sure this franchise is making millions but it is starting to catch the Fast and Furious wave where they should ha ve stopped while they were "somewhat" ahead. Wish they gave these franchises a little cool off period before churning out films. "Zora Bennett leads a team of skilled operatives to the most dangerous place on Earth, an island research facility for the original Jurassic Park. Their mission is to secure genetic material from dinosaurs whose DNA can provide life-saving benefits to mankind. As the top-secret expedition becomes more and more risky, they soon make a sinister, shocking discovery that's been hidden from the world for decades."

  • The Wedding Banquet (6.3/10)

    I was expecting more given how high the ratings were. The acting caught me off guard, it wasn't the best. An alright movie all around but I wouldn't recommend. "Hoping to stay in the country, a gay man proposes a green card marriage to a female friend in exchange for paying for her IVF treatment. However, things soon get complicated when his grandmother surprises them with plans for an extravagant Korean wedding banquet."
