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 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…

A SIMPLE FAVOR: 7.6
This is a really fun movie. Anna Kendrick Blake Lively. An insurance scam attempt via fake death. A hidden secret. Anna Kendrick getting roped into it somehow. Wild twists and turns. Anna Kendrick being super innocent and having a great character arc. All of this starts when Blake Lively randomly asks Anna Kendrick, who she…

GREENBERG: 6.3
A quirky and funny enough comedy starring Ben Stiller. Has some other great cameos with notable names and faces. Ben Stiller, fresh out of a mental institute, Ben’s character heads to LA to stay at his brothers home and where he grew up and was once an aspiring musician. He is basically intent on doing…

CALIBRE: 3.7
This movie absolutely STINKS. English dubbed “thriller” about some group of people that go to some doomsday guys house to learn how to survive in a doomsday scenario. Then he just decides to start murdering them one by one lol. I mean typing that sounds way more awesome for movie purposes that it actually was.…

SOUL: 8.9
Again the thing the will dock animated films in my system from being outstanding masterpieces is because there is no acting. It is voices yes, but I cannot give voices high scores for acting. But outside of that, just such an incredible movie. I could have easily rounded this up. Easily. This is such a…
