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.

BLACK PANTHER: 8.9
PREFACE: I am sick and tired of superhero movies and I firmly believe it is such a ridiculous way that Hollywood recycles the same scripts over and over and over again just for money grabs. BIG NON MOVIE SUPER HERO GUY. OK. With that out of the way…. I absolutely love this movie and I…

WOLF OF WALL STREET: 7.8
True story. You know I love them. I do not want to explain the movie honestly, just look up Jordan Belfort. It is loosely based on his story and how he scammed people in the stock market and got MEGA rich. A really great cast. Leo D , Jonah Hill (excellent in this movie) Jon…

PARASITE: 8.7
Subtitle alert. Which is always funny because you are watching a movie but also kinda reading a weird book. I do not mind it though. I mean, to have almost an outstanding masterpiece and have ZERO FUCKING CLUE what is being said is incredible. Testament to the movie. I am not sure what genre this…

US: 8.1
I thought US was easily the better film between it and GET OUT. I found it to be scary, interesting start to finish, smart and thought provoking. A horror movie where a family has identical clones that are hunting them down and trying to kill them. That is the best way I can describe it.…

DUNE: 7.8
This movie really had a lot going for it. The hype was unreal. I think most will agree they were disappointed afterwards. In an almost STAR WARS like movie, best way to put it, different planets and different species fight for power. That is the easiest way to sum it up. Except it is much…

JUNGLE: 6.5
Daniel Radcliff has put out some pretty good movies post Harry Potter. Not easy to break out of the whole child star type casting thing. He has made a few adult films that I enjoyed. This is one of them. Radcliff and some friends decide they want to go to the Amazon for a once…

THE ROAD: 5.6
I usually do not find a post apocalyptic movie I do not love. The whole genre is very interesting. There is something about the world ending the survival of it in that life that I find fascinating. This however did not really do it for me. A boy and his father navigate this harsh world.…

WANDER: 6.3
This movie is very wild and weird movie. But it does not stink. Aaron Eckhart and Tommy Lee Jones star in this sci fi thriller. It is entertaining for sure. And Eckhart does a great acting job Essentially him and Tommy Lee Jones are conspiracy theorists who have some very low budget podcast radio thing…

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA: 7.9
I have to be honest. I do not find Meryl Streep to be that impressive. I have people telling me she is in their TOP 3. EVER. Streep. How? I do not know. This is not some sexist thing either. Just tell me 3 movies of her that are ALL TIME GREATS. This HAS to…

REMEMBER THE TITANS: 8.2
Peak Denzel Washington. The interesting thing to me about Denzel is this. Does he KINDA play the EXACT same person in every single movie. YES. He does. A swaggering, confident, alpha male who is the smartest man in the room. Walks the walk and talks the talk. Does he have MUCH depth to his acting.…
