Clearly a nostalgic cash grab for the Happy Gilmore crew. While it wasn’t a good movie by any critical standard, it did deliver a few laughs and was packed with familiar cameos. The plot was weak and below average but it kept your attention for 2 hours. " Gilmore returns to the sport of golf since his retirement after winning his first Tour Championship, to finance his daughter's ballet classes."

Nothing special with this new horror film. It was a combination of a short film while also being slow-moving/boring which is not ideal. You can skip this. " Ramona becomes crippled by grief after her husband dies in a car accident, leaving her to care for her two children alone in her rural farmhouse. Her sadness soon turns to fear when a spectral woman in black appears on her front lawn, warning her "today's the day." As the mysterious figure creeps closer and closer to the house, Ramona realizes she must protect her children from the evil woman who simply won't leave them alone."

A 1992 Brad Pitt film that seemed a bit outdated but the themes and progression of character development worked in well. It is a solid watch but nothing to add to the top of your list. " The Maclean brothers, Paul (Brad Pitt) and Norman (Craig Sheffer), live a relatively idyllic life in rural Montana, spending much of their time fly fishing. The sons of a minister (Tom Skerritt), the boys eventually part company when Norman moves east to attend college, leaving his rebellious brother to find trouble back home. When Norman finally returns, the siblings resume their fishing outings, and assess both where they've been and where they're going."

Not what I was expecting, but I really enjoyed this true story. The blend of comedy, drama, and historical context worked surprisingly well. The acting and cinematography were both solid, helping bring the story to life. Overall, it’s a feel-good film with heart. " During the 1976 coup in Argentina, an English teacher rescues a penguin and brings it to his school. His life begins to change when the bird's presence starts to have a positive effect on the school."

A 2024 thriller with sub par acting, a decent plot, and solid ending. It had good elements but I think this could have been a lot better. They had the ingredients, just couldn't get them to mix together. " A man with a violent past kidnaps the boy he holds responsible for his son's death. As he grows closer to uncovering the truth, he's left to wonder whether his pursuers are really seeking to protect the boy, or merely the secrets he keeps."

This was an intriguing 1999 thriller/mystery starring Tom Hanks and Nicole Kidman. I still don't totally know what happened in this film so I have to read about it. The ending made a bit more sense but you were lost for most of the film. " After Dr. Bill Hartford's (Tom Cruise) wife, Alice (Nicole Kidman), admits to having sexual fantasies about a man she met, Bill becomes obsessed with having a sexual encounter. He discovers an underground sexual group and attends one of their meetings -- and quickly discovers that he is in over his head."

This new 2025 film was hard for me to rate. I liked the acting and dialogue but I just felt the film was missing an extra piece and you felt unsatisfied in the end. I wouldn't recommend this even though it high scores. " A father and son, part of an anti-government group, engage in a standoff with a police chief. This confrontation leads to a manhunt for the pair."

Great acting between Sydney Sweeney and Julianne Moore. I thought the film is better than its ratings. The ending wasn't the best and left you wanting more which brought the rating down a bunnch. Not the worst watch, I think some out there would like this more than I did. " Kate's secluded life is interrupted by her troubled daughter when she shows up frightened and covered in someone's blood. As Kate unravels the truth, she learns how far she'll go for her child."

If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been on a 2007 wave lately — and this makes three in a row. Unfortunately, Sunshine doesn’t pass the outdated check. Visually and stylistically, parts of it haven’t aged well. That said, the concept is genuinely great: in a dying future where Earth’s sun is fading, a crew of eight astronauts sets off on a desperate mission to reignite it. Things take a turn after an accident, a critical mistake, and the discovery of a distress signal from a long-lost mission. Some pieces were a bit confusing but another 2007 piece to keep off your radar.

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."

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.

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."
