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.

BLADE RUNNER 2049: 7.9
Ahhh here we are again with Ryan Gosling. Never made a bad film. Guy is most underrated in Hollywood. Than you tell me it is sci fi. Than you tell me it is introspective AF. Honestly I have no idea how this did not end up higher. But I score honestly. This is very high…

BURNING: 7
I had to think about either rounding up or down here. But I could not. Usually I will round up or down based on something interesting or music or well, in this case, I could have rounded down for subtitles. I am a subtitle PERSON. I have to have them. Some people aren’t. So if…

INGLORIOUS BASTARDS: 8.8
Back to back Christopher Waltz and Tarantino why not. Again, no idea how many times I have said this, but THIS TIME DAMMIT, I mean it. This is easily a top 4 opening in movie history. It is immaculate. No grid. Christopher Waltz plays the “jew hunter” in WW2, his task, find all Jews in…

DJANGO UNCHAINED: 8.6
I have lost track of what I have said is “the best” or “top 4” and I do not care. This is my site I make the rules. This is a top 4 opening in movie history. It really is just an incredible way to start a movie. Tarentino so you know its great. Jamie…

TO LESLIE: 7.4
This movie, right in my wheelhouse. If you like dramas, that are sad with a happy ending and give you the feels, here ya go, I sure as hell know I do. Great story about a former lottery winner who loses everything she won and becomes homeless. She has a kid and from a small…

OPERATION FINALE: 6.2
I have been in a crazy World War 2 binge lately. Books, podcasts and movies. Just such a fucking crazy time. There could be a million movies about all the went down and it still wouldn’t be half of what can probably be made. ANNNNNYWAY this tells the TRUE STORY about a group of Jews…

HEAT: 5.6
Just could not be further from my style of movie. That is all I can say. I do not enjoy pre 2000’s movies, I do not enjoy cheesy masculine shoot out movies, I honestly do not enjoy the whole Pacino, De Niro endless “gangster” roles they keep shoving at us for my whole life. The…

MONEYBALL: 7.4
I have to admit. I am a die hard baseball fan. So this shows I am a completely unbiased movie review personality. My Morales are in check. This is a middle of the road REALLY GOOD MOVIE. It is fun. It is inspiring. It is funny. It is based on a true story which I…

OPPPENHIEMER: 9.1
Its hard to even know where to start with this as I just saw it and my brain is still digesting it all. But wow. OUTSTANDING MASTERPIECE. My initial reactions are That is a review. ** UPDATE** I completely understand why the love interest with Commie girl was incredibly relevant and recant my number 7.

CUT OFF: 5
This is one of the most ridiculous movies I have ever seen in my life. I hate that the score is what it is. It actually was 4.7 but I rounded to 5 because of the title of the movie and the very last scene in the movie. Fantastic lol. But also, so incredibly ridiculous.…
Got any book recommendations?
