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.

LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE: 7.7
This is one of those movies where, like most comedies it’s just going to get effected negatively a bit due to my scoring system. Here is the nuts and bolts. This is a dramCOM. When I went to get my score overall enjoyment is a 10. Which, I think, really is the most important of…

28 WEEKS LATER: 6.9
Watching this I knew EXACTLY this was gonna be somewhere on the border of 6 and 7. Sure enough. Look their are so many zombie movies and shows. Just so many. So I am a little numb to it but they are not dead to me…. YET. Standard zombie movie really for most of it…

DISTRICT 9: 7.9
REALLY GOOD MOVIE. Honestly I thought this was going to come out in the 8’s. If you told me you thought this was a low 8, you would have no argument fro me. What a fascinating portrayal of aliens arriving on earth. EVERY SINGLE alien movie seems very similar, minus maybe Arrival. This one, wow…

THE SURVIVALIST: 4.7
I have just seen too many of these. It has just been played so much. I think these need to be discontinued. You cannot make this interesting or good anymore IMO. I keep watching them because I very much enjoyed these movies. But enough is enough. A man has a cabin in the woods, most…

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…
