Solid action but a waste of time. "When a hostage rescue mission creates a new enemy, Capt. Guerrero and his elite soldiers must face an ambush by a criminal group."

I see how this could be appealing but it is too much of a kids movie. Not for me even though it was nominated for three oscars. " After a shipwreck, an intelligent robot is stranded on an uninhabited island. To survive the harsh surroundings, she bonds with the native animals and cares for an orphaned baby goose. The film was nominated for 3 Oscars."

Somehow this is based on a true story. Solid acting all around and just an anxiety riddled movie. A lot of it is in the deep ocean so I recommend watching at night or else you wont see a thing. " The true story of seasoned deep-sea divers who battle the raging elements to rescue a crewmate who's trapped hundreds of feet below the ocean's surface."

Didn't know who Robbie Williams was before this Biography/Drama/Musical so it was a nice history lesson. Robbie Williams is portrayed by a CGI'd monkey in this film to symbolize how he felt and his public image. While I wasn't the biggest fan of the monkey, I was able to look past it for what it stood for. The music is from his past singles and albums which made it less cheesy. While the beginning took a bit of getting used to, the ending was well done for an all around great movie. " The true story of the meteoric rise, dramatic fall, and remarkable resurgence of British pop superstar Robbie Williams."

This rating might suprise some folks but this was not for me. I was not a fan of the movie feeling like it was a play. It was super slow and I felt no suspense. " In the 1830s, estate agent Thomas Hutter travels to Transylvania for a fateful meeting with Count Orlok, a prospective client. In his absence, Hutter's new bride, Ellen, is left under the care of their friends, Friedrich and Anna Harding. Plagued by horrific visions and an increasing sense of dread, Ellen soon encounters an evil force that's far beyond her control."

A 1999 Comedy/Drama starring Reese Witherspoon and Matthew Broderick. It was just a solid film, nothing crazy. An easy watch. Can be added to your list but keep it in the back. " Jim McAllister (Matthew Broderick), a well-liked high school government teacher, can't help but notice that successful student Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon) uses less than ethical tactics to get what she wants. When Tracy runs for school president, Jim feels that she will be a poor influence on the student body and convinces Paul, a dim-witted but popular student athlete, to run against Tracy. When she becomes aware of Jim's secret involvement in the race, a bitter feud is sparked."

Back to back Ewan McGregor films. This is a 2010 thriller/mystery but it is one of the slowest thrillers I have ever watched. It is a really slow burn. If this was was 30 mins shorter I would have rated it a bit higher. The acting and dialogue were both great, it was just too slow for me. " When a successful ghostwriter, the Ghost (Ewan McGregor), agrees to finish the memoirs of Adam Long (Pierce Brosnan), England's former prime minister, his publisher assures him it's the chance of a lifetime. Instead, he begins to uncover evidence that suggests his late predecessor knew a dark secret about Lang and may have been murdered to prevent it from coming to light."

I wasn't too pleased with this 2003 RomCom. It was cheesy and I just don't think I am fan of Reneé Zellweger. Hard Pass. " It's 1962, and feminist Barbara Novak (Renée Zellweger) pens a best-selling book that details the drawbacks of love. She encourages women to forgo serious relationships with men in favor of independence, workplace achievements and satisfying sex. Despite her success, many men are taken aback by her progressive views, including slick writer Catcher Block (Ewan McGregor), who decides to expose Barbara as a fraud by making her fall in love with him. However, his plan has unexpected consequences."

This is a ridicoulous comedy starring a bunch of actors you wouldnt know besides Conan O'Brien. It portrays a comedy vibe similar to the Harold and Kumar movies. I wouldn't say it should be at the top of the comedy list but if you need a filler movie for the night, this could entertain you. " Three deadbeat co-workers fend off hairless bears, desperate park rangers and a hypocritical cult leader while searching for a priceless treasure."

This Sci-Fi/thriller is making waves in the news as of late. It is a futuristic film incorporating AI robots so if that genre isn't for you, you wont like this movie. Sophie Thatcher is a newer actress from the show YellowJackets and looks to have a bright future ahead. I wish this film was a bit longer and a little more serious (It didn't seem like a horror film at all to me), I felt the need to laugh a lot of the t ime. "A weekend getaway turns bloody and violent when a subservient android that's built for human companionship goes haywire."

Steller cast, solid plot, but too cringe for my liking. This 1994 Western/Romance was over the top at times and a lot of reviews I read, which I agree with, reference how it doesn't shy away from crossing the line into melodrama. " In early 20th-century Montana, Col. William Ludlow (Anthony Hopkins) lives in the wilderness with his sons, Tristan (Brad Pitt), Alfred (Aidan Quinn) and Samuel (Henry Thomas). Eventually, the unconventional but close-knit family encounters tragedy when Samuel is killed in World War I. Tristan and Alfred survive their tours of duty, but, soon after they return home, both men fall for Samuel's gorgeous fiancée, Susannah (Julia Ormond), and their intense rivalry begins to destroy the family."

Another Hugh Grant Drama from 2002, what do you know. I never knew why he was so famous but I get it now. This was an odd concept for a movie and I thought the storyline flopped a bit. Still a solid movie, not the best acting I think either. " A comedy-drama starring Hugh Grant as Will, a rich, child-free and irresponsible Londoner in his thirties who, in search of available women, invents an imaginary son and starts attending single parent meetings. As a result of one of his liaisons, he meets Marcus, an odd 12-year-old boy with problems at school. Gradually, Will and Marcus become friends, and as Will teaches Marcus how to be a cool kid, Marcus helps Will to finally grow up."
