Pawn Sacrifice. 7/10

Great acting and cast. The story was entertaining as well as the buildup. Tobey Maguire did a great job capturing the manic intensity of Bobby Fischer. Still the movie was not as thorough as the documentary Bobby Fischer Against The World which is a 10/10.

Black Mass 7.5/10 Johnny Depp was great in it and really nailed the part. The story was slow though and focused more on the FBI. The performances were what carried the movie. Joel Edgerton did a pretty good job as well. The movie also had kind of a dark, cold feel which worked well. But overall it c...

I watched the first half online.I feel that there are a few solid Republican candidates while others are batshit crazy. So far I am liking Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Ben Carson, and Carly Fiorina. It is still early though and we will have to see how they play out. I am somewhat neutral on Ted Cruz and...

Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation

7/10. It was enjoyable enough. Good cast, funny dialog, and cool action scenes.

The Gunman.

6/10. Not too bad, but this movie has probably been made 20 times already.

Southpaw 6.5/10. It was OK but nothing special. I feel the previews gave away the best parts. Although it was cast well it didn't make up for the cut and paste formulaic plot. Jake Gyllenhaal looked the part but had nowhere near the depth of Nightcrawler or End of Watch. Forrest Whitaker saved the m...

Amy

7.5/10. Amy Winehouse movie. It was good from a musical perspective and gave you an inside look into her personal life with lots of videos. She was really a raw talent and a unique individual and more than the drug addicted maniac the press made her out to be.

Been going through the Death Wish movies.

8/10 for the first two. Charles Bronson was so great R.I.P. Looking forward to pt. 3.

Thief (1981). 7.5/10 James Caan is so awesome in this movie. Had a very realistic feel to it. Nice early work from Michael Mann. The Pope Of Greenwich Village (1984) 7.5/10 Mickey Rourke plays a cool reserved badass. Eric Roberts is such a faggot in this but he is hilarious and likeable (how coked u...

Love and Mercy 8.5/10 This is the Brian Wilson biopic. Both John Cusack and Paul Dano did a fantastic job portraying him. Was great to see Cusack in a major role again. The story was very sad but shed a lot of light on BW and I now have newfound respect for him. Every character was played perfectly....

The Aviator 8/10.

Been meaning to see this for awhile and finally got to check it out on netflix. Leonardo DiCaprio was brilliant in it, really nailed the OCD thing of Howard Hughes. Some areas were spotty but the scene with him going up against the Senator was awesome. Overall, very entertaining.

Prince of Darkness (1987) 6.5/10. Decent 80s style horror movie.

The Howling (1980) 7.5/10. Definitely lived up to the hype. Better than I thought it would be for being a 35 year old movie

Suicide Kings 8/10

Watched it again after about 15 years (seen it twice before). All the characters are great, still holds up very well.

The Last of The Mohicans (1992) Theatrical Version, 8/10 I loved it as a kid and this was the first time I'd seen the original version in 16 or 17 years. The only version available now is the horrendous Director's Cut on DVD/Blu-Ray/Cable. That movie was great and had a very sad ending I remember. ...

The Gambler remake with Mark Wahlberg 7/10. Much more enjoyable than I thought it would be. A more updated and funnier version of the original and I liked that it was a little different and not a scene-for-scene reinactment. A little unbelievable in parts but still enjoyable. Can't believe it got tr...

Child 44. 4/10

About corrupt Russian government during the Stalin era. Tom Hardy was good, but not much else was. Could have been better. Some people seem to like it though. It bombed at the office and critics hated it. But I had to see for myself.

The Imitation Game 7.5/10

I thought it was a pretty interesting and well-written movie.

Dumbo 9/10. They don't make 'em like this anymore. Two things: The pink elephants on parade segment is one of the trippiest things I have seen. It is like an acid segment, very ahead of its time for 1941. The black crowes with their stereotypical black people voices and jive talking is so racist. If...

Life Itself 7.5/10. This is the Roger Ebert documentary. Pretty interesting portrait of the man. Showed his determination throughout all of his medical problems. His wife was a total sweetheart too. The Siskel and Ebert stuff was interesting (not one mention of Roeper though...hmm) his early life wa...

Woosh wrote:I watched Blade Runner again. Yep, it's still a 10.

The scenery in that movie is amazing. Rutger Hauer is great on it too.

Dumb and Dumber To. 4/10. I thought the previews had a few OK moments but didn't realize that those were pretty much the best parts. Horribly forced jokes. Luckily I rented it with a free redbox promo and watched it with my 11 y.o stepdaughter so considering the circumstances, it was ok. If I paid t...

Birdman. 7.5/10. A good movie, nothing more/nothing less. Keaton and Norton were great. Galifinakis was good too, wish him and Norton had more scenes.

Man, the fuckin 49ers are turning into Nu Guns N Roses. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. I kind of hope it bites the owners in the ass. What they did to Harbaugh really pissed me off. And it sucks about Willis retiring. I was a fan of the 49ers and The Pats but I may have to root for G...

Whiplash was great. Only complaint is that no way he would have been able to call his students "faggots" or half of the other harassments without being sued. I also kept waiting for "Duh Du'Duh Duh Farrrmerrr's" during the crash scene or at the end of the movie. Agree on St. Vinc...

Hot Pursuit (1987) starring John Cusack and Robert Loggia 7.5/10

Classic John Cusack movie. Robert Loggia is so underrated. Pretty funny throughout.

Step Brothers starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly 7/10

Stupid but definitely made me laugh. Bonus points for being rated R and a good supporting cast.

John Wick 7.9 out of 10

Definitely entertaining and funny. Held my attention. Another great comeback role for Keanu.

Get On Up. 7/10

Pretty much covered the same stuff as that documentary with a bit more focus on his childhood and also his friendship with Bobby Bird. Chadwick Bosenan did a great job as James Brown ( same dude from '42').

Brady is amazing at coming back from being behind. Guy does great under pressure and gets results.
