This is a 2000 comedy/crime film starring George Clooney. I liked the concept, but at times it felt a little too playful and silly for my taste. Overall, I still enjoyed it, but seeing it ranked as one of the New York Times’ Top 100 movies of the century felt like a bit of a shaky take to me. " Ulysses Everett McGill (George Clooney) is having difficulty adjusting to his hard-labor sentence in Mississippi. He scams his way off the chain gang with simple Delmar (Tim Blake Nelson) and maladjusted Pete (John Turturro), then the trio sets out to pursue freedom and the promise of a fortune in buried treasure. With nothing to lose and still in shackles, their hasty run takes them on an incredible journey of awesome experiences and colorful characters."

Super entertaining, but honestly not a very good film. It’s pretty ridiculous at times, and the acting was overall weak. It’s the type of movie that keeps your attention while you’re watching, but not something I’d ever rewatch or recommend. I did like the plot idea, but I feel like they tried to do too much with it instead of keeping it simple and letting the concept speak for itself. " Lucy's tropical island homecoming turns deadly when her family's clever chimpanzee, Ben, becomes rabid. With her father away and no help coming, paradise becomes a prison as Lucy and her friends fight for survival against a pet they once trusted."

Without having read the book, I thought this movie was pretty solid going in with no expectations. That said, there were a few scenes that felt really unrealistic, especially the ending, which honestly shouldn’t have been included. If the finale had been handled better, this easily could’ve been an 8/10. I also didn’t think Sydney Sweeney was all that great, which is not surprising because I usually don't enjoy her performances. On the other hand, Amanda Seyfried and Brandon Sklenar absolutely carried the acting and were the standout parts of the film. " Hoping for a fresh start, a young woman becomes a live-in maid for a wealthy couple who harbour sinister secrets."

This 2015 sci-fi/drama has a really awesome concept, but I can’t help feeling like it would’ve been done much better if it were made today. The technology aspect felt a little limited, and I wish the plot had been more intense instead of focusing so heavily on the mother/daughter dynamic. It kind of reminded me of The Substance , just not nearly as bold or daring. This was also featured on the top NYTimes top movies of the century. " In a future where opulence overshadows economic hardship, Gwen and her daughter Jules try to hold on to their joy."

This 1987 Nicolas Cage film is definitely outdated, but I can see how it would’ve been a standout movie for its time. Overall, I enjoyed it, but I wouldn’t necessarily call it a must-watch for everyone. It’s fun and chaotic, but it didn’t leave a huge impact on me. It was cool to see Nicolas Cage at 22 years old since most of his movies that I have watched he is in his 50s+. " Fast-paced farce about an unlikely pair who go to extreme lengths to have a child. When an incompetent robber marries a policewoman, they discover that they are infertile. In order to appease his wife's longings for a child, the man steals one of a set of quintuplets, but mayhem ensues when the child's rich father sends a rabbit-shooting bounty hunter after the kidnapper."

I’m not really sure what I was expecting going into this film since I didn’t read any descriptions beforehand, but it ended up being pretty interesting. It does feel a bit dated now, but I think it still holds up well enough. I was entertained, though it wasn’t anything over-the-top or amazing for me personally. The ratings are super high, so maybe I just didn’t fully see the vision the way others did. " This Is Spinal Tap" shines a light on the self-contained universe of a metal band struggling to get back on the charts, including everything from its complicated history of ups and downs, gold albums, name changes and undersold concert dates, along with the full host of requisite groupies, promoters, hangers-on and historians, sessions, release events and those special behind-the-scenes moments that keep it all real."

This is pretty much exactly what you’d expect from a Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa action-comedy, which isn’t usually my favorite mix of genres. That said, it was still entertaining and kept my attention, even if it was as cringey as you’d expect. It ’s not a complete waste of time, but if you’re looking for a solid action movie, there are 100% better options out there. This one falls into Fast and Furious territory. " Estranged half-brothers Jonny and James reunite after their father's mysterious death. As they search for the truth, buried secrets reveal a conspiracy threatening to tear their family apart."

This movie had great potential but completely flopped for me. With a title like this, I expected a thriller or horror like it claims to be, but it ended up feeling more like a slow drama. It never really matched the intensity I was hoping for, and I spent most of the film waiting for it to actually start. The concept was interesting, but the execution left me wanting more the entire time . " After a catastrophic military disaster, the dead don't just rise, they hunt. Ava searches for her missing husband, but what she finds is far more terrifying."

I honestly don’t understand how this movie has an 80% rating from both critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. Maybe I missed something, but I found it pretty boring. The story is basically about a group of sisters trapped in their home by their extremely religious mother, and for most of the movie, nothing really happens. There’s barely any rebellion, aside from one sister, and it just didn’t hold my attention. This film is severely overrated, even though I can admit the acting was really strong. " In an ordinary suburban house, on a lovely tree-lined street, in the middle of 1970s America, lived the five beautiful, dreamy Lisbon sisters, whose doomed fates indelibly marked the neighborhood boys who to this day continue to obsess over them. A story of love and repression, fantasy and terror, sex and death, memory and longing. It is at its core a mystery story: a heart-rending investigation into the impenetrable, life-altering secrets of American adolescence."

I was honestly a bit bored and annoyed by almost every character in this film. It’s ranked in the top 100 movies of this century, and I’d have to agree with the Rotten Tomatoes audience score sitting in the 60% range. The acting was strong and I liked the overall plot, but it just didn’t fully hit for me . " Larry Gopnik (Michael Stuhlbarg) is a physics professor at a 1960s university, but his life is coming apart at the seams. His wife (Sari Lennick) is leaving him, his jobless brother (Richard Kind) has moved in, and someone is trying to sabotage his chances for tenure. Larry seeks advice from three different rabbis, but whether anyone can help him overcome his many afflictions remains to be seen."

This 2012 drama follows a young woman who feels lost in New York and is trying to figure out her life. While I wasn’t a huge fan of the movie being shot entirely in black and white, the acting was excellent and the story was enjoyable. Greta Gerwig’s character was annoying at times, but that just shows how well she played the role. . " A story that follows a New York woman, who doesn't really have an apartment. She apprentices for a dance company although she's not really a dancer, and throws herself headlong into her dreams."

This was a Denzel Washington and Spike Lee production. I had really high expectations but the acting was terrible for the front half of the film. The ending was solid but most of the film was meh. I don't know how it has such great reviews but maybe it was feeding into the actors/producer being well known staples in the industry. " When a powerful music mogul is targeted by a ransom plot, he is forced to fight for his family and legacy while jammed up in a life-or-death moral dilemma."
