Benicio Del Toro, Josh Brolin, Emily Blunt

I've had this movie on my radar for awhile now and finally got around to watching it. I think it may have been hyped a bit too much b/c I was slightly let down. I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting but it wasn't as great as I hoped. The acting was really good and Benicio Del Toro's character was the best. I think I was expecting a faster pace and a bit more excitement. Good but not great.

"Get your service weapon out"

Collosal 4/10. I didnt want it to be Pacific Rim, but that was the most hamfisted metaphor for alcoholism and abuse being a "monster" ever.

10 Cloverfield Lane 7/10 . A better treatise on abuse. Not sure why I saw both of these at the same time.

Alien Covenant- 4/10. Were they TRYING to make me hope the alien killed every one of these pussy characters? Cause they succeeded.

Swiss Army Man - Fuck outta here with this bullshit 3/10

O Lucky Man 10/10

It- 7/10. Flawed but there are some decent scares and Pennywise is creepy as fuck. Got an extra point for nostalgia.

Nocturnal Animals(2016) Amy Adams Jake Gyllenhaal Michael Shannon Isla Fisher Laura Linney good movie 8/10

Assassin's Creed(2016) Michael Fassbender Marion Cotillard Jeremy Irons 5/10

The Medusa Against the Son of Hercules. 10/10

IT - 9/10.

Hidden Figues(2016) Kevin Costner, Jim Parsons, Kirsten Dunst, Taraji P Henson, Octavia Spencer, Janelle Monae. Pretty interesting movie 7.5/10

Locke(2013) The whole movie is just Tom hardy talking on the phone while driving at night, there's nothing else going on, no sub plot not a single other actor 6/10

Danny Collins(2015) Al Pacino, Annette Benning, Jennifer Garner, Bobby Canavale, Christopher Plummer .

Didnt know Pacino still had a good movie in him 7.5/10

Half Nelson(2006) Ryan Gosling Anthony Mackie really boring 4/10

Horror Express 10/10

Mean Dreams(2016) Sophie Nelisse Bill Paxton 7/10

American Movie- 8/10. This was AWESOME! Rewatchable for sure. I so felt for the depressed old dude.

The Eichmann Story on Netflix - 8/10

Children of the Corn - 4/10 Back in 1984, I thought it was scary. Now? Bad acting, terrible script, and ridiculous effects.

Beyond the Gates - nicely done 80's style horror film, with Barbara Crampton (ReAnimator) in a role. 8/10

Akira - 9

American Pastoral(2016) Ewan McGregor, Jennifer Connelly Dakota Fanning Molly Parker 7/10

This movie got savaged by most critics, but I've seen a couple vigorously suggesting that it actually is worth a watch.

"Brad's Status" - 8.5/10

Great movie. Really sharp writing, with a great Ben Stiller performance. He's really entered into a seasoned dramatic actor phase over the last several years. Very astutely reflective of the way Americans live and think, and anyone with kids will probably at least partially identify with this or see his or her future in it.

Christine (the news lady, not the car) - 8/10.

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007) Dustin Hoffman Natalie Portman Jason Bateman 6.5/10

Bad Words - 7/10

La La Land (2016) Ryan Gosling Emma Stone John Legend. Dont know how i missed this with all the hype the movie got but i was sure it was gonna be set in the 50'/60's so i was pleasantly surprised to see it was set in current times. Nice movie but didnt like the ending 8/10

Obvious Child (2014) Gaby Hoffman Richard Kind 7/10

Zodiac. Was a bit slow. Well acted. 7/10

I kept putting it off, but I finally watched The Green Inferno yesterday. Holy fuck that was brutal. And why did the girl lie at the end about the cannibalism? 7/10

The Innkeepers - 5/10
