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.

THE NEXT THREE DAYS: 6.5
Russell Crowe is an interesting actor to me. He started his career with bangers. Absolute master pieces. Gladiator and American Gangster and A Beautiful Mind. And then like 6 years ago he just kinda started not making bangers and making just like these kinda fun thrillers. And stayed in that. Not complaining but an interesting…

CUT BANK: 5.9
Pretty all star cast. Liam Hemsworth. Billy Bob Thornton. John Malkovich. And a few OH HEY THAT PERSONS! Netflix machine continues to churn out just absolute non stop 5-6’s movies. I could have rounded this up. I could have. But chose not to. Because the ending is JUST ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUSLY stupid. Like the whole movie…

COLD PURSUIT: 6.5
I mean perfect score for this. Maybe perfect score for EVERY SINGLE Liam Neeson movie since the start of taken. Just keep them honestly coming. Forever. It is the definition of mid tier good movie. You absolutely will be happy you watched. It is not a great film just like none of his movies are…

GANGS OF NEW YORK: 6.3
I am starting to realize that I REALLY think Leo and DDL over act. I am not saying they are bad actors. But for some reason, I think DDL for sure OVER acts he’s always screaming and yelling and kinda the same dude and then LEO, I cannot tell what is with him. Is he…

THE NIGHT CLERK: 6.5
This rating is fair. BUT. Underrated actor ALERT. Tye Sheridan is SUPER underrated. This kid now young man can act. He is young superstar. I think most places rated this poorly. And I TOTALLY get why. It is choppy and they push all the big surprises in at the end and half of the movie…

CLOVEHITCH KILLER: 6.3
This is not based on a true story but they say it is loosely based off of the BTK killer. So its KINDA a true story. Which obvi I love. And I also am enthralled by murder just like America is. The story is about a kid who is like 15-16 and has a great…

DALLAS BUYERS CLUB: 9.1
MAN! I needed a great movie I have been on such a bad run. SO what do you do when in a movie rut? Find Matthew Mac. To be fair, I have seen this multiple times and new it would score great but we needed it. Can always count on Matty Mac. It is movies…

LORD OF THE RINGS ALL 3: 4.1
Look I’ll keep this really short honestly. And I want to clarify, I LOVE hunger games. I love it. So I am not against this genre. I see Harry Potter and this and Hunger Games. But here is all I will say. Why the FUCK did that warlock guy make that poor kid take that…
-
Z FOR ZACHARIAH: 4.8
Another bad movie. I love as you know, dystopian movies. But man, this is the worst one I’ve ever seen. Bummer too because great cast. Margot Robbie, Chris Pine and Chide something or other (really good black actor, too lazy to look up). Just get right to it. This movie STINKS. Honestly if sucks. It…

REPTILE: 5.5
I am on an awful movie run right now. It sucks. But have to power through. Ok so here is Netflix latest new movie release. Which if you have not figured out by now, when it comes to new movies Netflix has like a 1 for 10 average on movies it puts out and movies…
Got any book recommendations?
