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 COURIER: 7.1
Based on a true story. As I always say, there is no shot there is ever a true story that is a bad movie. Or else its REALLY hard. (See ted k review). Because usually it is so interesting or else it wouldn’t be a movie. Benedict Cumberbatch stars as an English businessman who is…

BERUIT: 6.1
John Hamm stars in this movie about a man stationed in Beruit working for the CIA to deter terrorism. Everything is going just fine in his life as he has the city very under control and rubbing elbows with government elites. Until it isn’t. One night at a party at his house terrorists show up…

THE NEW WORLD: 0.0
I am standing on business with this review. This movie ABSOLUTELY SUCKS. Not stinks. SUCKS. An absolutely all star cast. Bale, Ferrell and about 6 other people you would know right away. It is pretty cringe to me that all these actors decided to be in this crap. This is a real life version of…

TED K: 5.5
This movie is about notorious serial killer Ted Kryzynski. One of the most notorious in United States history, also known as the UNA-BOMBER. I did not know much about what Ted did, how he did it, what was done, I just knew I had heard his name and he was infamous. I left this movie…

HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG: 6
Jennifer Connelly is in a pretty remarkable amount of GREAT MOVIES. I did the SHAQ “im sorry I was not familiar with your game” when I looked at her imdb. This is not one of them lol. This movie actually is fucking ridiculous. Really ridiculous. It is the ridiculousness of the movie that had me…

PEANUT BUTTER FALCON: 7.2
I mean this is just Shia Leboufs lane and I love it. I said it earlier in my review of (forget name but if you scroll its there, I think its called honey boy, yeah that’s it), he picks these INDIE feeling movies, where he seems like he’s not even acting and he’s being himself.…
-
COMPANY MEN: 7.3
This movie hit home for me a little harder maybe than most because what happened to Ben Affleck in this movie quite literally happened to me. So for me, this one was a good watch as it was equally tough, as it re-visited a terrible time in my life. With that being said, it brings…
-
THE BATMAN: 8.1
This was an EXCELLENT FUCKING FILM. Absolutely. I think they screwed up with a few of the Batman’s but in my opinion, this is the second best of the Batman’s behind the Dark Knight. What I liked about this, compared to the Dark Knight was, this was darker. This focused much less on Bruce Wayne…
-
MONOLITH: 6.1
Sci Fi is my jam. It is rare I do not LOVE a sci film. Did not love this one. Did not hate it. Buuuuuuutttt. It was close to sucking. A journalist who is out a career recently, after being disgraced, finds herself diving into the world of conspiracy theories. As she digs deeper into…

TRANS SIBERIAN: 6.9
Right there at it could have been a low end REALLY GOOD MOVIE or high end SOLID FILM. Honestly either way. I enjoyed it. Ben Kingsley. He has forever been a THAT GUY but now I know his name. I have seen far too many movies with him in it, and he’s ALWAYS solid. SO…
Got any book recommendations?
