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 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…

THE DIRTY SOUTH: 4.1
This movie has a 7.1 on IMDB. um. What the fuck movie did they watch. Yikes. This movie absolutely STINKS. This had the possibility of being really good. It kept teasing like it was really gonna be good. And every chance it had it blew. A Louisiana girl, attempts to save her family bar from…

PARASITE: 8.7
This movie fucking rocks. I mean if you have not seen this movie yet, stop everything and go see it right now. FUCK. It is really good. You have to do subtitles which is fine, but if you can do that, it is so worth it. This is a very intense thriller about a very…

UP: 8.1
It is hard to rate a movie like this. If we are rating it in my system. It is no doubt an EXCELLENT FUCKING MOVIE. But, it is animation. There is no actual “ACTING”. RIght? Not going to lie I rounded this up from 7.9 because it is so enjoyable. And really a cute movie…

MUDBOUND: 7.5
These movies are tough to rate. They are devastatingly sad, biopics of what life was like for black southern Americans who came home after proudly serving their country. They are hard to rate because they are just really sad. It convolutes the scoring a bit because, DID I enjoy it? Fuck no. It made me…

PANDORIUM: 3.6
Dennis Quaid. Just gonna lay that name out there. Let it simmer for a second. Ahhhhh. Feels awful doesn’t it? Ha ha. Is he the worst A list celebrity there is? I mean you tell me one reason he is not? Every single movie he is in, stinks. Is Parent Trap his best movie? Is…

THE NUN 2: 4.7
So I was on a plane and this was one of 4 movies I could watch. I had not watched a scary movie in a long time so I said let’s do it. It got me thinking though. It is gonna be really hard for a horror movie to crack a 7. I can see…
-
MYSTIC RIVER: 7.7
A really twisty turny crime thriller with an absolute all star cast. Sean Penn, Kevin Bacon and Tim Robbins all star in this film. As boys, the 3 are playing out in the street when a guy pretending to be police officer comes up to them and drags one of the boys into the back…

MAD MAX FURY ROAD: 6.5
I dunno what happened here. I saw this a while back and THOUGHT I loved it. It is right in my wheel house. Tom Hardy. Dystopian future. Great visuals. But woof. I am glad I went and re watched so I could review. This was a shocker. I remember liking it, or thinking I liked…
Got any book recommendations?
