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.

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…

DARK PLACES: 6.3
Charlize Theron alert. She’s great man. She is so damn sassy and I 100% buy it. Plus she’s a smoke show. ANYYYYYYWAY. This is a standard SOLID FILM. Would not rewatch, but am not mad I saw it. It did its job and entertained me for a few hours. Wam Bam Thank you Ma’am. Charlize…

ANATOMY OF A FALL: 5
A movie that received much Oscar praise and was up for a MILLION award including best film. It did not win. Thankfully. There would have been riots in every city across America. Look, I don’t know what it was in this movie but I will do my best to be quick about it. A murder…

THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES: 8.3
WELL WELL WELL… Look who it is. Ryan MFING Gosling back at it again. With a movie you PROBABLY have never heard of. I had seen it a while ago, maybe 8 years ago, but rewatched it the other day for the sake of the site. And WOW. What a gem. This is an EXCELLENT…

THE HUNT: 6.7
I am not even gonna look at what others rated this movie. I am happy with my score. I think this is perfect. So whatever anyone has to say I could care less. This is a movie that is just pure entertainment. And it is really fun. It was made laugh. Also had some intense…

HUNTER HUNTER: 4.9
How much time should I spend on movies that absolutely SUCK. Probably not a lot of time. This is not a good movie by any stretch. Why? The premise is okay. It almost apocalyptic. A family lives in the woods and off ovf what they catch and grow and find. Mom wants the daughter to…

EYE IN THE SKY: 7.9
For a movie that has absolutely ZERO visuals, and takes place in 3 rooms the whole movie, they sure got the absolute most out of it. It is an absolute gripping thriller from the jump. It is endlessly thought provoking. Wildly interesting. And the acting was very authentic. This military movie will leave you with…
