Mountainhead (2025)

Pretty good ish

[5/10 · 1 June 2025]

Brilliant dialogue, mixed vibes though I understand the ratings. Succession is/was a masterpiece but this has smart characters focused on a beautiful house, one snowy hike, talks of AI, Stats and I don't know why a joke turned into lets kills try to kill this guy!

I anticipated Mountainhead cause Jesse Armstrong in my opinion is one of the smartest beings alive his dialogue is smooth and high level IQ it's insane that's the best aspect is the intellectual characters that are solid to watch. I was hoping to like this even more but it's just above average. Not sure about the characters being unlikable like someone else but more so much is scattered in the last half that I can see why anyone would hate it!

Geez hate my review that much I have autism, I reviewed the movie after midnight and did the best with details. It's an average movie don't hate me though.

Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (2016)

Great fun although first is better!

[7/10 · 30 May 2025]

Nicolas Stoller directed a cheesy yet very funny sequel. I remember seeing in the theater originally that was fun I've seen a few times since not sure why I didn't review sooner. The cast is great Chloe is awesome in anything and so is Seth Rogen along with everyone else is great!

Weird how much of a difference in entertainment value this is to the first one I would say the director has done better like Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Five Year Engagement is so good. There's a few really good scenes that I love like the tailgate party sequence is gold and some of the banter is wonderful; I understand any type of ratings.

Friday (1995)

So damn enjoyable

[9/10 · 30 May 2025]

Crazy this is 30 years old and it's so quotable it's so awesome! F. Gary Grey has had so much range goes from Friday to Negotiator, then Italian Job, and Law Abiding Citizen besides that Straight Outta Compton so many great movies I forget what else but I love his movies quite a lot.

Great mix of comedy and crime, Friday is fantastic entertainment truly glorious buddy movie. So satisfying how Ice Cube wrote this after Boyz in the Hood. Chris Tucker's comedy was gold back in the day with Rush Hour films, Money Talks, all the Fridays and even Fifth Element he was wild in that; love it all deserves praise!

Bring Her Back (2025)

"Grapefruit" This was the Monday mystery movie for 5/19 and so worth it to me - I loved this so much!

[10/10 · 29 May 2025]

Such a disturbing well filmed art piece by the same directors of Talk to me; unleashes even more sinister imagery to the big screen. My only issue wasn't even about the movie but 2 people came in 45 minutes after the film was already mid way that was so wrong to do that.

I had a fun experience even scared a couple women in a silly way they had a nice laugh about it. The Danny and his brother directed a twisted tale of blindness, trauma, psychological thriller mashed with really weird madness, and amazing cinematography throughout! I'll definitely buy the physical version when available. I might even see a 2nd time crazy I couldn't review for 9 days.

My Cousin Vinny (1992)

Masterful!

[10/10 · 28 May 2025]

I've seen most on HBO months ago now going through on Hulu it's so damn good! Everything about My Cousin Vinny is remarkable entertainment and I love that it came out the year of birth. Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei are sensational together this should've won awards at the time.

The judge was so good he seems like he would've been in much older movies. Goofy how Vinny kept wearing a leather jacket to court it's like his character is from the same timeline as Casino and Good Fellas. Nice to see Ralph Macchio in this too not long ago I went through the Karate related films/ show. I love it all worthy of high ratings.

The Negotiator (1998)

Masterful

[10/10 · 28 May 2025]

I've seen a handful times and absolutely love The Negotiator, best directing, smooth script, wholesome characters that are exciting to watch, and top notch entertainment value! I've wanted to own a few times and blessed it's available on services. I love this movie so much JT Walsh should've won an Oscar, along with Kevin Spacey, and Samuel L. Jackson deserve an award!

Some of the police are terrible the corruption is insane and any movie about hostage situations are fascinating. It's terrifying how justice is all scattered especially when a bunch don't listen. A little similar to F. Gary Grey's Law Abiding Citizen except not as violent and the justice feels wrong in that one.

Funny People (2009)

Pretty good

[6/10 · 28 May 2025]

I like other Judd Apatow films more but this one is nice for what it is. I would say a little funny at times most beautiful cinematography, great goofy cast that is thoroughly entertaining, and fun entertainment! Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill are the best in this. I've seen this a handful times I like it enough for a solid rating but to me other Judd Apatow films are better!

It's not even believable about Adam Sandler's condition everyone else does better at their characters. I would honestly say this and Judd's Netflix film are among the worst. Among other aspects this could've been 40 minutes shorter but it's fine regardless.

Y2K (2024)

Pretty good

[7/10 · 27 May 2025]

Most shocked by Julian Dennison's large weight since Deadpool 2 geez he's huge but he seems cool! I wanted to watch a while ago don't know why I didn't that happens sometimes. Y2K is cheesy for sure but that bad reminds me of early 2000's which is wonderful, has great horror, cool kids that I would hangout with and fire soundtrack!

The acting though is very meh not and some poor cinematography that's probably why there's hate which I understand. I feel bad for Rachel Zeggler's career most her films have bombed hope she can bounce back. I for like the entertainment value nice guilty pleasure to enjoy.

Your Monster (2024)

Really enjoyable

[8/10 · 27 May 2025]

The first half is hilarious I laughed quite hard and the 2nd half was mixed but most is great! Melissa is stunningly gorgeous and engaging in anything I've seen her in. I wanted to see last year I regret not when released that would've been better regardless I thoroughly enjoyed a lot.

An awesome mix of comedy, romance, and thriller which is brilliant for any movie Your Monster deserves so much appreciation! I genuinely would support anything in Mellisa does with her life she's fascinating ever since I saw her in Scream 5, 6 and Abigail those are spectacular horrors. Hope the director Caroline Lindy makes other beautiful projects.

Deepwater Horizon (2016)

So great and devastating

[8/10 · 26 May 2025]

Been meaning to see this not sure what reason I didn't for so long. Peter Berg directed an intense oil tragedy story with Mark Walberg he's been part of several films of his. I remember kinda interested when I saw the trailer I feel like a knucklehead when I miss out on great films although ones about catastrophic events are harder to watch they are so well made!

I don't know how people work around oil and not get nauseous I definitely would. Deepwater Horizon is a truly cinematic have a nice snack type of vibe. Crazy how a couple errors lead to total destruction on a oil rig and this definitely deserves high ratings!

Central Intelligence (2016)

Excellent fun!

[9/10 · 26 May 2025]

Great goofy buddy movie by the director of Dodgeball comes along a great fun experience that can be rewatched any amount. Lots of ins/outs with the story, Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart were perfection together nice how they became good friends from this pretty sure they've worked on a handful movies since.

I probably could've reviewed a while ago I originally saw in the theater that I go to regularly, nice that it's on hbo often. Love when you could have a blast watching something and not get tired of it. Also great how the credit scene with the fire truck is on instagram so delightful, great gem!

This Means War (2012)

"He entered the premise"

[10/10 · 25 May 2025]

Similar to Charlie's Angels I could watch this a hundred times and not get tired of it ironically it's by the same director. I love the charm, colors, banter, and vastly entertaining! This is so well made at least in my opinion. So satisfying how the cia helps instead of hunt someone they assist with romance.

Mcg has made some bangers plus produced great shows too I admire him. I like all the actors sometimes I don't like Chris Pine at least in Wonder Woman his acting was awful anything else is great! I absolutely love this movie I'm probably one of few to rate so highly, barely makes sense to have a bad guy in the last bit too.

Lilo & Stitch (2025)

Blast for me - Glad I saw in RPX!

[10/10 · 25 May 2025]

I was delighted to see this I grew up loving Lilo & Stitch, now I'm 32 - I even bought a stitch blanket. Magnificent that Chris Sanders voiced Stitch he's still talented at his age. This might not be for everyone but it's well made, the music is one of the best and often funny I'm pretty sure I laughed more than most!

In the last couple years I rewatched the series that is a masterpiece to me I wish they had the character that makes samwhiches in this movie, been a while since I watched the 2002 movie but that's so good too. Lilo & Stitch deserves high ratings and plenty of sales/products truly hit the spot!

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025)

Spectacular imax

[8/10 · 25 May 2025]

I loved this finale and I understand any harsh reviews this one has probably the most dialogue along with a few epic action sequences so much is grea!. Christopher Mcquirre directed/wrote such a wild ride about making sure entity isn't a major catastrophe, to get Gabriel and a wholesome farewell I absolutely loved the editing of showing bits from previous films.

Kinda odd Dead Reckoning was even better along with some of the other old ones. The most astonishing aspect is Tom Cruise doing some of the most dangerous stuff more than even average humans; I hope there was safety precautions. Highly recommend regardless of anything incredible film!

Friendship (I) (2024)

Such a blast

[9/10 · 24 May 2025]

I laughed quite a bit and even felt a little sad. Tim Robinson was perfect for this obsessive, quirky and hilarious character that makes friends with his neighbor because the mail got mixed up and Paul Rudd was magnificent! Reminds me of I love you, Man and any movie about loneliness which I relate btw I have autism.

I didn't expect most of it to be so funny I almost more terror or creepy vibes but barely part of it at all. I loved the audience near me one young guy bopped his to the punk rock music that was cool. So glad the ratings are high it's well deserved ironically too there's some drug content mixed in and great goofy entertainment!

28 Days Later (2002)

Got to see in theater so worth it!

[10/10 · 22 May 2025]

Such a satisfying experience especially after a long shift at Regal Stonecrest and fun audience too that clapped afterwards too. I probably should've had more to eat today otherwise wonderful all around. I've seen this before years ago used to have blu-ray not sure why I didn't keep but so glad I saw in the theater such a fun horror!

Danny Boyle and Alex Garland created a great wild ride so much terror, madness, and gripping characters. The last 30 minutes is insane. I gotta watch the sequel again most memorable thing is helicopter scene, in 28 days the memorable aspect the lead characters they were so great.

The Wiz (1978)

Vastly underrated

[9/10 · 19 May 2025]

I got to see a 4 o clock showing with a couple people one guy I work with named Jamil and his friend Eric that was delightful! I'm shocked by the 5.6 rating I enjoyed even more than Wizard of Oz mostly cause of better colors and wonderful story that. I was pleasantly surprised that Joel Schumacher wrote the screenplay he was great director.

The cast was so good Micheal Jackson was unrecognizable as Scarecrow. I loved the entertainment value of everything I almost want to give a 10. I don't know why this had a couple showings this isn't an anniversary since it came out in 78 maybe if it was 75 that'd make sense; loved it all regardless!

Final Destination: Bloodlines (2025)

Masterpiece - Glad I saw in imax!

[10/10 · 16 May 2025]

One of the best, I gave the first and third a 10 delighted to give this one a 10 as well! From beginning to end I loved Final Destination: Bloodlines, I'm shocked there was a handful that saw in imax maybe cause it was the 4:40 showing. Regardless of any of that hope this gains popularity.

I'm very happy with the connections to the other films, great that Tony Todd had as his last role and heartwarming to me Craig Perry worked on part 2 nice that he produced this. Every actor was worth watching, masterful cinematography, beautiful vibrant colors and the horror fans will appreciate the gruesome deaths.

Not sure why more don't appreciate my review but this is an amazing horror film, loved so much of it! I even saw a 2nd time in imax once again using my employee pass, I got to be with 2 people one I work with Jamil and his friend Eric they are so great to be around!

Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025)

I don't understand the low ratings!

[9/10 · 15 May 2025]

I'm glad I saw in RPX I had my ticket weeks in advance. Phenomenal experience Trey Edward Shults is exceptional at his craft with It comes at night, and Waves should've been nominated years ago for cinematography and acting. Hurry Up Tomorrow hit the spot with ambient music often along with Abel's exceptional singing.

Such a thrill ride of wild stylish shots, so much emotions throughout, amazing thrill ride and the audience was superb too especially when it ended some clapped and one girl seemed intoxicated she was happy/ beautiful. Nice to see big fans of The Weekend and genuinely don't understand the 5.9 rating maybe off at times or might miss something but overall it's spectacular!

Ok maybe not that great but I loved it!

Fight or Flight (IV) (2024)

Bombastic fun!

[8/10 · 15 May 2025]

This movie is nuts I'm glad I decided to see mid afternoon and brought snacks. Josh Harnett was perfect for this stylish action with amazing kills nice mix of comedy, action packed, and horror in the last half so much madness! Might not be the best movie out but it's a blast of fun entertainment.

Great how Josh has been amazing since The Faculty, Lucky Number Slevin, Sin City, Hollywood Homicide, and his recent few years of action he's awesome in everything. I also loved all the other cast, story was smooth, great stunts, great soundtrack, and any other delightful aspect. Flight or Fight deserves praise.

Oddity (2024)

So glad I got without seeing

[9/10 · 11 May 2025]

Very weird horror, madness, curses, and fascinating characters! This is phenomenal all around I wanted to watch last year in its prime missed opportunity Im sure would've been gloriously brilliant in a theater. I barely knew of the film beforehand so that makes it exciting and most seems bizarre.

I like the sense of mystery and nightmare fuel mashed in so well. Way better than I could've imagined I wish I had to watch a lot more at least I own the physical. I used to watch twisted terror on services I should more whenever possible or at least afford more. I love Oddity genuinely deserves praise by anyone!

Saint Maud (2019)

Phenomenal!

[9/10 · 10 May 2025]

I'm glad I decided to get this Blu-ray randomly some months ago and now enjoying for the first time, I barely buy if I haven't seen. Didn't know much just knew the ratings have been high even the poster has praise. I'm a little high so it's quite a different experience.

The bizarreness, terror, and tension is magnificent throughout; I wish I knew more of when it was in a theater or at least a few years ago. So glad the lighting/ cinematography is more beautiful than the last couple movies I watched. Holy cow the directing is exceptional I absolutely love the way things flow with Maud she seems to lose her mind!

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998)

Bonkers

[8/10 · 10 May 2025]

Meant to be the first one before Snatch although not as good but still so much fun! The color of the cinematography is different from most movies kinda a stylish vibe to it. Fans of British action would love this wild ride there's so much great much dialogue, awesome soundtrack, and great action!

I've only seen a few times a long time ago at first I thought it was alright but it's vastly better than just alright Lock stock and Two smoking barrels is a blast of great entertainment nice for a snack and chilling out. I love that IMDb has it a 8.1 that's very high, I would say at least a 7.6 at best.

Starman (1984)

Magnificent classic!

[8/10 · 10 May 2025]

So wholesome nice that mom got me the Blu-Ray some months ago, I'm pretty sure I've seen once years ago and don't remember any of it. Awesome that John Carpenter did this and They Live both being about alien life forms. Karen Allen and Jeff Bridges are so great in this they seem so sweet it's awesome!

I don't think this is mentioned when people talk about masterful John Carpenter films/score. I barely watch oldies they have such a different vibe than newer ones, Starman isn't rushed and the sounds were tranquility most of the time. Barely a comedy at all not sure why that's part of the genres but I love it all.

The Studio (2025– )

So damn great!

[9/10 · 9 May 2025]

The perfect amount of spice, intensity and filmmaking mashed with amazing cast throughout some of which aren't even actors! I should've watched sooner I've been a fan of Seth Rogen for 25 years crazy how overbearing his character is in The Studio at least episode 2. I so wish I could be on a set in any capacity except for how overwhelming it seems.

My mom has been wanting to watch this usually I'd be into this first I guess I was into other stuff for a bit The Studio is so worth it, deserving of high ratings, and most things on Apple TV are magnificent. The dialogue is so new generation, I love it all.
