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.

THE BIG SHORT: 9.1
CONFESSION: I absolutely LOVE Ryan Gosling. He’s never done wrong in his life. He is an unstoppable force and an immovable object at the same time. He has never been in a movie less that great, and he is just the SUPPORTING CAST in this movie. Christian Bale, Ryan, Steve Carrell, Brad Pitt, Kendall Roy…

ENEMY: 5.7
Well, this movie had one of the things that I love in movies, already baked in. I will not hide my love for Jake Gyllenhaal, but I think I found his worst movie. Denis Villeneuve is a top tier director. I think together this is both of their worst movies ever. The acting is okay,…

THE ARTIFICE GIRL: 8.9
Woah. Ever just watch a movie and afterwards just stare at the screen, stuck in thought? That is exactly what this movie was. It could not be more timely with the AI theme, and it could not be more thought provoking. This is a top 5 thought provoking movie I have ever watched. When it…

THE COVENANT: 8.3
Look there are two things in movies that I ABSOLUTELY love. One is a true story. Anything based on a true story just gets me going knowing that this actually happened. And two, is Jake Gyllenhaal. I mean what a fucking actor. Yet to see him in a bad movie. This was the definition of…

Sisu: 7.1
You cannot go wrong with killing Nazis. That script is always going to work. If you like a lot of killing and a one man rampage death spree, this is your film. It is A LOT of dead bodies. A LOT. The visuals in the movie are absolutely stunning, especially on the kill scenes. Maybe…

Moon : 6.9
My very first review for the page! This movie is called Moon. It is a little hard to find, so try to type in Moon 2009, the year it was made. Look, I could have went either way, 7.1 or 6.9 but my gut said 6.9. The acting was fantastic. Sam Rockwell is a really…
