Welcome! I hope you enjoy reading my reviews as much as I enjoy writing them!
My name is Matthew. I watch A LOT of movies. Come here for movie recommendations and or to see if you feel the same way about a movie as me. My self created movie review system is simple. 7 categories for a movie. 1. How was the storytelling ? 2. Was it thought provoking? 3. Did it make you FEEL something? 4. How was the acting? 5. How were the visuals? 6. Was it interesting? 7. What was the overall enjoyment. Each category I score 1 through 10, I add total and divide it by the amount of categories (7) and BOOM, there is a score. Good system, from a person who is not a snobby movie reviewer, just an average guy who LOVES to watch movies. Now, once I have a number, it has to fall into a category.
Here are the 5 places a movie will land. A score between 9-10: OUTSTANDING MASTERPIECE drop what you are doing and go watch this movie right now, an absolute legendary film. 8-9: EXCELLENT FUCKING MOVIE requires a watch ASAP. 7-8: REALLY GOOD MOVIE add this to your list immediately. 6-7: SOLID FILM it did its job of entertaining you and you are not walking away disappointed. BELOW A 6: THIS MOVIE STINKS. Tell someone you hate its good and to watch it.

BLINK TWICE: 7.3
In what I THINK is Zoe Kravitz first directed movie, I thought she did great. This was absolutely a REALLY GOOD MOVIE. Also the timing of it, with the whole DIDDY situation is pretty wild. Very much vibes like that. Essentially, a group of girls are taken to this mega billionaire (Channing Tatum) private island…

10 CLOVERFIELD LANE: 6.9
Will I ever not like an apocalyptic movie? Probably not. Uhhhhh ok. In this movie, an event happens that wipes out most of mankind. It is an alien attack. Or something. The movie starts with a girl driving down a road and getting in a car accident. She wakes up in John Goodmans disaster bunker.…

OBLIVION: 7.2
T C THAT’S TOM CRUISE. SHE WASN”T REALLY DRUNK SHE JUST HAD A FEW BREWS. Shout out YE. Really cool Tom Cruise movie. It is absolutely a REALLY GOOD MOVIE. Sci fi, so you know it is my shit. Tom Cruise is living on an earth that has been destroyed by invaders, 1000 years from…

GOODLAND: 6
AGAIN. I must point out. A 6 IS GOOD. It means I liked the movie. With that being said, here is one. Very off the grid. It was just enjoyable enough that I… enjoyed it. Let’s break it down. A very small town, that never sees visitors, sees a murder. And a visitor. At the…

LAST STOP IN YUMA COUNTY: 6.6
Bet you have never heard of this movie. I bet you say that for about half the movies I watch. That is what I am here for. Also, I would like to clarify something. There seems to be this conception among folks that being a “6′ or a “7” is somehow bad? I have heard…

PREDESTINATION: 6.1
Ethan Hawke and uhhh the girl from Succession. The sister. She has not blown up enough yet for me to know her name off the top of my head. But you know who I am talking about. This is an interesting, time bending, sci fi movie. If you have ever watched the show DARK, this…

KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES: 4.4
OK so I have been on board with these movies since they came out. If you have been reading my reviews you know that I love SCI FI. This I think counts as SCI FI. Ya I mean talking apes in a world that is set like 100 years into the future is very SCI…

WHAT YOU WISH FOR: 6.7
This movie is quite fun. I do not recognize any of the actors. It is like a noir, modern horror movie? Like it isn’t jumpy scary at all, in fact its not horror, it is a thriller. Sorry I am spit balling here. Ok a man visits his long time friend he has not seen…

KNOWING: 5
Back to NICK CAGE. Ok I guess it is Denzel Washington and Nick Cage week. So if you read my recent review of Nick Cages “Dream Scenario” you know I feel like he is simply a ridiculous script taker and the range of ridiculousness is hilarious. Well, add another one to the list. Ok ,…

MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE: 6.3
TWO DENZELS IN ONE WEEK. Forget Shark Week, its Denzel WEEK. I actually had never seen this movie. But I was in search of Denzel this week and it popped up and boom. This is really odd movie. A star studded cast. Bunch of A listers in this. It is an adaptation of an older…
Got any book recommendations?
