  • The Last of the Mohicans (8.1/10)

    A little dated and a bit cringe at times but still a fun film to watch. A role I didn't expect Daniel Day-Lewis to take on. Somethign to keep on your radar but given how dated it is, there are still a bunch of better options to stream instead. " The last members of a dying Native American tribe, the Mohicans -- Uncas (Eric Schweig), his father Chingachgook (Russell Means), and his adopted half-white brother Hawkeye (Daniel Day-Lewis) -- live in peace alongside British colonists. But when the daughters (Madeleine Stowe, Jodhi May) of a British colonel are kidnapped by a traitorous scout, Hawkeye and Uncas must rescue them in the crossfire of a gruesome military conflict of which they wanted no part: the French and Indian War. "

  • My Dead Friend Zoe (6.6/10)

    This had a good messages and themes but by the end of the movie I was not entertained and just felt like I was watching it to finish it. It got incredible reviews, it just didn't appease me. Rotten Tomatoes score of 95% Audience and Critics seemed a bit hight for me. " Merit is a U.S. veteran who's at odds with her family thanks to the presence of Zoe, her dead best friend from the Army. Her cozy yet dysfunctional friendship with Zoe keeps the duo insulated from the world, until her estranged grandfather -- holed up at the family's ancestral lake house -- begins to lose his way and needs the help he refuses."

  • Novocaine (8.0/10)

    I was debating leaving this off my lists. But then I realized that I was entertained more that I thought throughout the film. It was a bit silly for liking but still executed some comedic aspects. The ending wasn't my favorite either. " When the girl of his dreams gets kidnapped, a man turns his inability to feel pain into an unexpected advantage as he fights a bunch of thugs to get her back."

  • Warfare (8.0/10)

    This was a hard one for me to rate. This is based on a true story in Iraq based off the memories of the soldieries that were there. The combat and tactics seemed like the most realistic war film I have seen. I think a bit more backstory would have made this movie go nuclear for me. It seemed quick with a lot of shooting and screaming. This is probably a must see in theaters since it's a war movie, they are always better on the big screen with loud sound. " A surveillance mission goes wrong for a platoon of American Navy SEALs in insurgent territory in Iraq."

  • The Drop (8.0/10)

    I was debating between high 7s and an 8 for this film. It was unique but it took some time for it to take off. The last 30 mins was great but the first 40 mins was tougher to get through but there was still suspense. " Violet is a widowed mother who goes to an upscale restaurant to meet Henry, her charming and handsome date. However, her pleasant evening soon turns into a living nightmare when she receives phone messages from a mysterious, hooded figure who threatens to kill her young son and sister unless she kills Henry."

  • The Brutalist (9.1/10)

    Amazing performance by Adrien Brody and cast. I was surprised how much I enjoyed this film. I wasn't a fan of the length, which I agree many others will agree with. As well as the ending, it was good not great. " Escaping postwar Europe, a visionary architect comes to America to rebuild his life, his career, and his marriage. On his own in a strange new country, he settles in Pennsylvania, where a wealthy and prominent industrialist recognises his talent."

  • All The President's Men (8.5/10)

    I loved this 1976 film. While it was a bit dated it still hung around with current times. But I am sure when this movie came out it was the best for a couple years. " Two green reporters and rivals working for the Washington Post, Bob Woodward (Robert Redford) and Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman), research the botched 1972 burglary of the Democratic Party Headquarters at the Watergate apartment complex. With the help of a mysterious source, code-named Deep Throat (Hal Holbrook), the two reporters make a connection between the burglars and a White House staffer. Despite dire warnings about their safety, the duo follows the money all the way to the top."

  • Four Weddings and a Funeral (5.3/10)

    This 1994 movie got great reviews but it was not for me. Hugh Grant was of course in this film as he was in every RomCom during this time period. It was just lacking a lot of dialogue to me and seemed too surface level. " Lovable Englishman Charles (Hugh Grant) and his group of friends seem to be unlucky in love. When Charles meets a beautiful American named Carrie (Andie MacDowell) at a wedding, he thinks his luck may have changed. But, after one magical night, Carrie returns to the States, ending what might have been. As Charles and Carrie's paths continue to cross -- over a handful of nuptials and one funeral -- he comes to believe they are meant to be together, even if their timing always seems to be off."

  • While you were Sleeping (8.0/10)

    This 1995 movie could be anywhere in the range of scores of 7.4 - 8.1. I liked it since I was locked in on the plane and it was an easy film to entertain me. Nothing super special about it just solid if you needed a RomCom that you might have no heard about. " Lonely transit worker Lucy Eleanor Moderatz (Sandra Bullock) pulls her longtime crush, Peter (Peter Gallagher), from the path of an oncoming train. At the hospital, doctors report that he's in a coma, and a misplaced comment from Lucy causes Peter's family to assume that she is his fiancée. When Lucy doesn't correct them, they take her into their home and confidence. Things get even more complicated when she finds herself falling for Peter's sheepish brother, Jack (Bill Pullman)."

  • Sweethearts (6.7/10)

    This film had so much potential with the plot and the comedic aspect but it flopped in many areas. It needed comedy similar to superbad and not too silly where it all seems a bit dumb. " Two college freshmen make a pact to break up with their high school sweethearts over Thanksgiving break, leading them on a chaotic night out in their home town that puts their co-dependent friendship to the test."

  • Call me By your Name (5.0/10)

    The acting was great! The rest of the film was so boring. I feel like it was a hot topic for the time starring two straight men. " It's the summer of 1983, and precocious 17-year-old Elio Perlman is spending the days with his family at their 17th-century villa in Lombardy, Italy. He soon meets Oliver, a handsome doctoral student who's working as an intern for Elio's father. Amid the sun-drenched splendor of their surroundings, Elio and Oliver discover the heady beauty of awakening desire over the course of a summer that will alter their lives forever."

  • Never Let Go (4.8/10)

    A thriller with a weird concept that I was not the biggest fan of. I also am not the biggest fan of having child actors be the vocal point of a thriller. They did a fine job, I just wanted more from Halle Berry. You can skip this thriller. " When an unspeakable evil takes over the world, the only protection for a mother and her twin sons is their house and strong bond. Needing to stay connected at all times, even tethering themselves with ropes, they must cling to one another and never let go. However, when one of the boys questions if the evil is real, the ties that bind them together are severed, triggering a terrifying fight for survival."
