I feel the decription of the film kind of ruins the movie so read with caution at the end since I always add the description. I felt if I didn't know the exact plot in the description, the mystery, suspense would have been better. "A group of would-be criminals kidnaps the 12-year-old daughter of a powerful underworld figure. Holding her for ransom in an isolated mansion, their plan starts to unravel when they discover their young captive is actually a bloodthirsty vampire."

I had never heard of this film but it really kept me locked in. It is a true story that shows grit and resilience expertly played by Michael Pena. A great family film. "Jose M Hernandez was born in Mexico. While working in the fields, he co-developed the first digital mammography imaging system. He then persevered to become a crew member on Space Shuttle mission STS-128."

A good 2014 drama/history/romance about Stephen Hawking. A lot of personal and family information I didn't know much about. It was well done and acting was amazing by Eddie Remayne. "In the 1960s, Cambridge University student and future physicist Stephen Hawking (Eddie Redmayne) falls in love with fellow collegian Jane Wilde (Felicity Jones). At 21, Hawking learns that he has motor neuron disease. Despite this -- and with Jane at his side -- he begins an ambitious study of time, of which he has very little left, according to his doctor. He and Jane defy terrible odds and break new ground in the fields of medicine and science, achieving more than either could hope to imagine."

This was really solid but I didn't like it as much as the general population from what I have been hearing. Casting was on point and the music was really good I was just a little bored. "Jamaican singer-songwriter Bob Marley overcomes adversity to become the most famous reggae musician in the world."

This was close to an 8 I just didn't love the casting of Mark Wahlberg even though I like him. It is an awesome (apparently true) story and a good family movie. Can't go wrong in watching. "Desperate for one last chance to win, Michael Light convinces a sponsor to back him and a team of athletes for the Adventure Racing World Championship in the Dominican Republic. As the team gets pushed to the outer limits of endurance, a dog named Arthur comes along for the ride, redefining what victory, loyalty and friendship truly means."

This film surprised me. I had no expectations going in and couldn't see any previous scores on the plane. It is a thriller / romance that gets off to a slow start but finished really well. "Recently incarcerated, Baron strikes up a friendship with his new cellmate, a man with a history of prison breaks. As they hatch a plan to escape, Baron recalls how he met the love of his life and how they came up with a scheme to rob a bank."

This film surprised me. The entire movie takes place basically in one building. It was suspenseful, not knowing what was going to happen next. It ended with a good message as well!

I loved the plot of this film and it was entertaining. With a better budget and casting/directing, this film could have gone places. A solid horror/thriller to keep on the radar. " Jess is a woman on the run, desperate to cross the Canadian border to escape her past. On her tail is Elsa, a resourceful agent whose recent life-altering diagnosis leaves her one step behind. As their chase narrows to the mountains of the Pacific Northwest, holes in Elsa's investigation begin to fill with fresh bodies."

Not my favorite Tom Hanks film and surprised he took on a role like this. Entertaining but still didn't get the job done. "A robot that lives on a post-apocalyptic earth which was built to protect the life of his dying creator's beloved dog, it learns about love, friendship, and the meaning of human life."

Something I think you can skip. It felt like I was watching a play rather than a movie. A lot of the scenes were too dark to even see. This was one of my least favorites from the Agatha Christie selection. "Now retired and living in self-imposed exile in the world's most glamorous city, Poirot reluctantly attends a seance at a decaying, haunted palazzo. He soons gets thrust into a sinister world of shadows and secrets when one of the guests is murdered."

Maybe I missed what the underlying story was in this film but I have never so grossly misunderstood a movie in all my life like this one. I still have no idea what I just watched. "A classmate introduces teenage Owen to a mysterious late-night TV show -- a vision of a supernatural world beneath their own. In the pale glow of the television, Owen's view of reality begins to crack."

This was a surprisingly good psychological thriller/drama starring Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain. It was slow at times and could have picked up the pace a little bit. It is a dark movie so be aware of that. "Housewives Alice and Celine are best friends and neighbors who seem to have it all. However, when a tragic accident shatters the harmony of their lives, guilt, suspicion and paranoia begin to unravel their sisterly bond."
