This 1998 Romance/Comedy starrs Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. I liked it a lot, just still felt a bit bland to me at times. Also, the internet being their main point in the movie seemed outdated since this was the 90s. Still solid though! " Struggling boutique bookseller Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) hates Joe Fox (Tom Hanks), the owner of a corporate Foxbooks chain store that just moved in across the street. When they meet online, however, they begin an intense and anonymous Internet romance, oblivious of each other's true identity. Eventually Joe learns that the enchanting woman he's involved with is actually his business rival. He must now struggle to reconcile his real-life dislike for her with the cyber love he's come to feel."

A 1999 Romance/Comedy. I felt like I was the last person to watch this film out of a lot of people I know. Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant in their primes were both great. Nothing really much to say besides your classic 90s/early 2000s RomComs that seems to always be great. " William Thacker (Hugh Grant) is a London bookstore owner whose humdrum existence is thrown into romantic turmoil when famous American actress Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) appears in his shop. A chance encounter over spilled orange juice leads to a kiss that blossoms into a full-blown affair. As the average bloke and glamorous movie star draw closer and closer together, they struggle to reconcile their radically different lifestyles in the name of love."

Most of this movie was a 5 rating, but the last 20% was a 9 rating. The ending saved this film from being a disaster and actually had me thinking about it for the rest of the day. Shouldn't be on your watchlist but if you stumble upon it, it's a unique film. " A young man with amnesia bands together with a rugged survivalist after a devastating virus causes a zombie-like outbreak."

This 2012 film got great reviews. It is a mix of fantasy, adventure, and drama all through the lens of a 6 year old. It was my favorite film. For an adventure film I found it still a bit slow and I couldn't stand that the main narrator wasa a 6 year old also named Hushpuppy. " Six-year-old Hushpuppy (Quvenzhané Wallis) lives with her father, Wink (Dwight Henry), in a remote Delta community. Wink is a stern taskmaster, but he is preparing his young daughter for the end of the world. When Wink falls mysteriously ill, nature seems to fall ill with him. Temperatures rise, the ice caps melt and fearsome prehistoric beasts called aurochs run loose. Rising waters threaten to engulf their community, sending Hushpuppy in search of her long-lost mother."

This had the recipe for a breakout movie but it flopped a bit. This is based on true events. Some parts were cringey, but overall the suspense was a 9/10. If you want a film that keeps you on the edge of your seat, this provides some value. " In 1970s Florida, a driver in a white van follows a young girl seemingly everywhere she goes. As the menace escalates, her parents dismiss her fears, leading to a terrifying Halloween nightmare that shatters her world."

A bit dissapointed in this film. It has great reviews but I thought it was overrated and it might be the Denzel Washington inlfuence. I found there was a lot of slow dialogue that was hard to stay locked in. " Troy Maxson (Denzel Washington) makes his living as a sanitation worker in 1950s Pittsburgh. Maxson once dreamed of becoming a professional baseball player, but was deemed too old when the major leagues began admitting black athletes. Bitter over his missed opportunity, Troy creates further tension in his family when he squashes his son's (Jovan Adepo) chance to meet a college football recruiter."

Julianne Moore's performance was steller in this drama. It show her character who develops early-onset Alzheimer's . It is not the most happiest of movies so I don't know how much I would recommend this. " Dr. Alice Howland (Julianne Moore) is a renowned linguistics professor at Columbia University. When words begin to escape her and she starts becoming lost on her daily jogs, Alice must come face-to-face with a devastating diagnosis: early-onset Alzheimer's disease. As the once-vibrant woman struggles to hang on to her sense of self for as long as possible, Alice's three grown children must watch helplessly as their mother disappears more and more with each passing day."

Elite cast, great plot but somehow a boring action/thriller. I haven't seen a worse person for a role than this movie where Kate Winslet is a russian mob boss. Maybe it was the dialogue, or how long the film was, but I kept wanting it to be over. " Bullets fly on the Atlanta freeway as armed thieves make their getaway following a bank robbery in broad daylight. Unhappy with the results, ruthless gangster Irina Vlaslov orders the men to pull off another job. One member of the team is Marcus Belmont (Anthony Mackie), a crooked cop who gets saddled with Chris Allen (Casey Affleck), his new but incorruptible police partner. As Belmont and his cohorts lay the groundwork for the heist, they come up with a devious plan to use Allen as their pawn."

A 1989 RomCom starring John Cusack and Iona Skye. Nothing seemed special about this movie, it was just good! Some scenes were a bit dated but it still hangs with the current times. " In a charming, critically acclaimed tale of first love, Lloyd (John Cusack), an eternal optimist, seeks to capture the heart of Diane (Ione Skye), an unattainable high-school beauty and straight-A student. It surprises just about everyone when she returns the sentiment. But Diane's overly possessive, divorced father (John Mahoney) doesn't approve and it will take more than the power of love to conquer all."

I liked that this 1987 film took the lens of this movie through a grandfather reading a story to his grandson. It seemed to be ahead of its time for this point of view. It was a bit outdated for my liking but still seemed like a classic that I have heard all about. " A fairy tale adventure about a beautiful young woman and her one true love. He must find her after a long separation and save her. They must battle the evils of the mythical kingdom of Florin to be reunited with each other. Based on the William Goldman novel "The Princess Bride" which earned its own loyal audience."

This was an intense film. I remember it winning a lot of awards and it's all in Arabic. It follows the lens of a young boy who struggles to survive in the slums of Beirut. " After running away from his negligent parents, committing a violent crime and being sentenced to five years in jail, a hardened, streetwise 12-year-old Lebanese boy sues his parents in protest of the life they have given him."

I finally got around to a movie that has been on my list for 15+ years. It is more so a family movie for when you have young children but I am glad I watched. " During the World War II bombings of London, four English siblings are sent to a country house where they will be safe. One day Lucy (Georgie Henley) finds a wardrobe that transports her to a magical world called Narnia. After coming back, she soon returns to Narnia with her brothers, Peter (William Moseley) and Edmund (Skandar Keynes), and her sister, Susan (Anna Popplewell). There they join the magical lion, Aslan (Liam Neeson), in the fight against the evil White Witch, Jadis (Tilda Swinton)."
