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.

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…

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…
Got any book recommendations?
