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.

NAPOLEAN: 6.5
Man oh man this had major feels of Killer of the Flower Moon to me. You have a fascinating piece of history. You go to make a movie about it. Has the potential to be INCREDIBLE, and the director focuses, IMO, on the wrong shit. This movie was about the famed French leader Napoleon. A…

DUMB MONEY: 8.7
WHAT A FUCKING EXCELLENT FUCKING FILM. WOW. This movie kicks so much ass. I stared at the screen for a solid 20 min in silence AFTER the movie ended, and THAT is exactly the mark of an EXCELLENT border line OUTSTANDING MASTERPIECE. Overall enjoyment was a 10, EXTREMELY thought provoking and you felt SO many…

FROZEN GROUND: 4.5
I am not gonna lie, I think Nicholas Cage is the weirdest actor of my life. And honestly, I think he really sucks. 98% of his movies to me, are absolutely ass. They just are. They are either really stupid plot wise, completely over acting by him, but usually BOTH. He just always is doing…

PERMAFROST: 3.9
Found this movie on Amazon Prime. It was under “movies we think you will like”. So thanks Amazon. For thinking that I like movies that absolutely STINK. That algorithm is really sound. I do not have much to say about movies that stink usually so I will be brief. This has the feel of a…

THE POSTCARD KILLINGS: 7
I WENT TO THE WELL TWICE! Fair Play was really good so I decided to just keep it rolling. I have NO IDEA what IMDB or ROTTEN TOMATOES has this scored as. Honestly. I can see it being like in the 5’s or 40’s or right around where I am at. I have to imagine…

FAIR PLAY: 7.4
This movie shocked me!!! I did zero homework and literally just threw it on, because Netflix said it was in the top 10 and so I said fuck it and did it. And wow! What a delightful surprise this movie was. A boyfriend and a girlfriend BOTH work as analysts for a hedge fund on…

TRAINING DAY: 7.4
This movie is funny to rank because I guarantee if you were to ask anyone who grew up in the 90s, without looking at any rating system they would with out a doubt go THAT IS A FUCKING OUTSTANDING MASTERPIECE IT IS THE BEST. Nostalgia is a funny thing. But this site is not dedicated…

UNCUT GEMS: 7.9
I did this review with my boy David. We both scored my system and and add both our scores and divided by 2. Got us a 7.9 which I actually is spot. I think this is a perfect example of a movie that is RIGHT on the border of an EXCELLENT FUCKING MOVIE. I think…

THE STRANGER: 6.4
This movie got RAVE reviews from many international film critics. Globally it was well received. The acting, they said, by the main actor was GENERATIONAL. Not for me. I did not hate this movie but I certainly didn’t love it. It was very slow and the dialogue was not great. It is labeled as a…

THE DEPARTED: 8.6
This is in my opinion, without a doubt Martin Scorsese’s best film. This movie is the ultimate rewatchable. It is share with your new fling or gf and she will love it. You forget the great ness of it so fuck it watch it. Before Scorsese became too obsessed with Leo he came out with…
