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.

MOONLIGHT: 9.4
I believe this is the best movie I have ever seen. When put all together, good luck finding a better one. I have watched it 50 times, at this point, just to feel things. This movie is as close to a perfect movie as you can get. But buckle up for a feelings roller coaster.…

THE IMITATION GAME: 8.5
Benedict Cumberbatch. Best name in movies? Absolutely. Almost gave an extra .1 for it. Look I’ve told you. The way to my heart in movies is a select handful of actors and TRUE STORIES. I especially love stories related to war. This is NOTHING like your standard true story war movie on the front lines…

MISSING: 7.3
This actress is having her moment. The younger sister from Euphoria and appeared in maybe the best episode of The Last of Us. And now stars in this thriller. Thrillers are just so fun to watch, when done well. No slow scenes so you are kept engaged the whole time. This movie does a really…

MUD: 7.2
I will never not watch a Matthew McConaughey movie. To me the guy is a hall of fame actor, first ballot. I do not even know if this movie was in theaters. But being the degenerate I am, I found it. And how glad I am I did. What a delight. And I have watched…

Hypnotic: 3.8
I mentioned I have a thing for Ben Affleck movies. Well that is because they are always REALLY fucking good. But, I guess as the saying goes, all good things come to an end. Holy shit. This movie was just dog crap from start to finish. I am shocked Affleck agreed to do this film.…

Extraction 2: 7.9
For starters, I have NOT seen Extraction 1, but after watching this and reading about 1, completely unnecessary for a review. I gave this move a straight 10 for overall enjoyment. I enjoyed every second of it. This is a REALLY GOOD MOVIE, right on the border overlooking, peeking down on EXCELLENT FUCKING FILM. Just…

ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD: 6.1
Ok so another person I am a sucker for dammit, Mark Wahlberg. So you are combining things I like here! True stories and Marky Mark. Unfortunately it was just okay. Mark was his usual great self. The issue here was the story. It was interesting ENOUGH, to keep me entertained and engaged, but also not…

HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE: 8.4
I can GUARANTEEEEEEEEE that not a single one of you have even heard of this movie. I am just such a movie psycho that I am able to find every movie hiding under ever rock in the movie world. This is absolutely a FUCKING EXCELLENT FILM. An absolutely hilarious and heartwarming movie. A foster kid…

THE TOWN: 9.2
Let me be clear. This movie: OUTSTANDING MASTERPIECE. Why do I feel like this is a documentary? Ben Affleck and Jeremey Renners acting in this movie is THAT good to me. A heist movie I guess is what you would call it. That explores the difficult world of growing up in a poor Boston neighborhood.…
-
TITANIC: 3.8
Well since its in the news lets talk about it. Who the hell did James Cameron think he was? THREE HOURS AND FIFTEEN MINUTES. That’s a fucking marathon. And its all on this boat. This movie absolutely sucks. So some poor kid sneaks on to the titanic and this grown ass woman leaves her very…
Got any book recommendations?
