  • Before Sunset (8.6/10)

    I prefer this film (2nd of the trilogy) over the first and second movies. It is about the power of a connection and missed opportunites. I thought the acting was somehow better than the first and I liked the ending a ton. I almost wish they didnt make a 3rd! " A sequel to Before Sunrise, this film starts nine years later as Jesse (Ethan Hawke) travels across Europe giving readings from a book he wrote about the night he spent in Vienna with Celine (Julie Delpy). After his reading in Paris, Celine finds him, and they spend part of the day together before Jesse has to again leave for a flight. They are both in relationships now, and Jesse has a son, but as their strong feelings for each other start to return, both confess a longing for more."

  • Before Sunrise (8.4/10)

    A 1995 romance that is the first of a trilogy starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. The trilogy is based on two main characters talking throughout a whole day. I liked the conversations they had, themes were about finding yourself, what is love, and self-discovery. The acting was 10/10. " On his way to Vienna, American Jesse (Ethan Hawke) meets Celine (Julie Delpy), a student returning to Paris. After long conversations forge a surprising connection between them, Jesse convinces Celine to get off the train with him in Vienna. Since his flight to the U.S. departs the next morning and he has no money for lodging, they wander the city together, taking in the experiences of Vienna and each other. As the night progresses, their bond makes separating in the morning a difficult choice."

  • Strange Days (7.0/10)

    A 1995 Thriller/Sci-Fi that has a perfect plot with today's current AI and VR trends. However, the filming and the concepts in the movie did feel a bit outdated given where we are at now in 2025. This was solid but not worth adding to your lists. " Former policeman Lenny Nero (Ralph Fiennes) has moved into a more lucrative trade: the illegal sale of virtual reality-like recordings that allow users to experience the emotions and past experiences of others. While the bootlegs typically contain tawdry incidents, Nero is shocked when he receives one showing a murder. He enlists a friend, bodyguard Mace (Angela Bassett), to help find the killer -- and the two soon stumble upon a vast conspiracy involving the police force Nero once worked for."

  • Fight or Flight (7.9/10)

    This new 2025 movie was flirting with an 8.0 score. It is all action even though some of it was really unrealstic. The plot was solid just wish they went into a backstory a bit more. It made for a fun action movie to watch and recommend to those action seekers that need something to watch tonight. Looks like they will be making a second movie as well, based on how how the first one ended. " A mercenary takes on the job of tracking a high-value asset known only as "The Ghost" on an international flight. Realizing the plane is filled with assassins assigned to kill them both, the pair must work together in a fight for their lives."

  • Derailed (6.1/10)

    Awesome concept and vision, but poor execution and boring. This 2005 crime/thriller stars Clive Owen and Jennifer Aniston. It was too long and the plot was too easy to pick out and see coming. Onto the next! " Temptation and a difficult home life leave Charles (Clive Owen) open to an affair with Lucinda (Jennifer Aniston), whom he meets during his commute. Both are married with children, and it isn't long before they are together in a sleazy motel. However, a thug named LaRoche (Vincent Cassel) bursts into the room and attacks them, and they can't report it without their families discovering the affair. As if the violation wasn't enough, LaRoche then calls Charles to blackmail him."

  • War of the Worlds (1.1/10)

    Nicole and I got through 22 mins of this film before turning it off. Ice Cube's 22 minute performance was also really bad. " A computer security analyst working for the U.S. government finds his daily life disrupted by an alien attack; accustomed to dealing with virtual threats, his struggle extends to secrets the government may be hiding."

  • Best In Show (5.0/10)

    This is a 2000 Drama/Comedy that has a lot of famous actors in it. I was not impressed by the end. I felt the storyline could have had a lot more comedy in it. I don't recommend even though it has good ratings. " The tension is palpable, the excitement is mounting and the heady scent of competition is in the air as hundreds of eager contestants from across America prepare to take part in what is undoubtedly one of the greatest events of their lives -- the Mayflower Dog Show. The canine contestants and their owners are as wondrously diverse as the great country that has bred them."

  • I Love You Forever (5.7/10)

    I don't know how I felt about this movie, it is sad to watch but also educational. It is about emotional abuse in a relationship. It is a quick 1 hour 30 min film that had solid acting. Just wasn't for me. " A subversive romantic comedy gone wrong that follows a young woman into and out of an emotionally abusive relationship."

  • Trading Places (8.2/10)

    A 1983 Comedy / Drama starring Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd. It is a fun movie for its time and can still hang in today's world but I see it being outdated soon. The message, beginning, and ending were all well played. " Upper-crust executive Louis Winthorpe III (Dan Aykroyd) and down-and-out hustler Billy Ray Valentine (Eddie Murphy) are the subjects of a bet by successful brokers Mortimer (Don Ameche) and Randolph Duke (Ralph Bellamy). An employee of the Dukes, Winthorpe is framed by the brothers for a crime he didn't commit, with the siblings then installing the street-smart Valentine in his position. When Winthorpe and Valentine uncover the scheme, they set out to turn the tables on the Dukes."

  • Dangerous Animals (4.6/10)

    A unique concept but plot holes, terrible acting, and bad CGI. Critics gave this a 86% on rotten tomatoes and they have to be out of their minds. " A shark-obsessed serial killer holds Zephyr, a rebellious surfer, captive on his boat. Racing against time, she must figure out a way to escape before he carries out a ritualistic feeding to the sharks below."

  • A Prophet (9.1/10)

    This is a 2 hour and half hour, 2009, Crime/Drama that has many different languages like Arabic, French, English, and Portuguese. The beginning is a little slow but the build up and character development was crazy to watch. If you like mob movies and can read subtitles for a long movie, give this a crack. " This acclaimed crime drama follows Malik El Djebena (Tahar Rahim), a delinquent young Muslim man, who is struggling to get by in a French prison. When he is taken under the wing of powerful Corsican mob boss Cesar Luciani (Niels Arestrup), he begins performing regular assignments for him, proving himself invaluable to the imposing criminal. As Malik rises in the mob ranks, he gains more power, but also more enemies, a situation that eventually brings conflict with his mentor."

  • Volver (8.3/10)

    A 2006 Spanish speaking film starring Penelope Cruz. It is a mix of humor, heartbreak, and crime set in a small village in Madrid. The acting was great. I think it might be outdated in a couple years. " Raimunda (Penélope Cruz) works and lives Madrid with her husband Paco and daughter Paula. Her sister Sole (Lola Dueñas) lives nearby and they both miss their mother Irene (Carmen Maura), who died several years ago in a house fire along with their father. A former neighbor from their hometown reports that she has seen the ghost of Irene and both daughters do not believe her. After a murder and a family tragedy, Irene's spirit materializes around her daughters to help comfort them."
