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.

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.…

THE FIGHTER: 7.9
Christian Bale is the best actor of our generation. Do not even at me. And Wahlberg is incredible in everything he does. This is a REALLY GOOD MOVIE literally on the cusp on excellent. Wahlberg plays a boxer living in his brother shadow. His brother Bale is a former big time boxer who got hooked…

ALL DAY AND NIGHT: 7.5
Ashton Sanders now has appearance in two movies that are him playing a very similar role, I hope he does not get type casted, but if he does I do not mind because he really plays that role really well. He pairs with Jeffery Wright ( in a role you HAVE NEVER SEEN) its pretty…

THE FURNACE: 5.5
This movie is old timey. An English colony out in the desert in I think Australia gets robbed off a significant amount of gold. The thief, a fellow Brit than goes on the run to get the gold to an actual furnace that a Chinese group he knows has. This furnace is hot enough to…

THE COLONY: 6.2
My love for futuristic dystopian films has no boundaries. I absolutely love them. So a movie in that category is going to have to be REALLY bad for me to give it a bad score. This was by far not even close to some of the best dystopian films. But, it was a lower level…
