Split 8/10
great acting by James McAvoy
totally amazing scenes with him.
Yes I know it's M Night Sham's movies and we all hope for a twist. The movie worked out well overall. I thought it was done really well. Was it a thriller, not really, was it a suspenseful a bit. Again, praise James for choosing such a great role.

Night Moves(2013) 6/10
Terribly slow pacing, incredibly anti climactic, predictable, and edgy as hell. Acting from dakota fanning, skarsgaard and eisenberg was pretty damn solid. The tension was well built and the way the first half of the story worked its way out was very interesting but it left me wanting more mystery and suspense, instead i got some paranoid worrisome crap that sluggishly dragged the second half of the movie.
The Graduate(1967) 10/10
Perfect characters, perfect acting, so many memorable scenes, masterful montages, best ending in a romcom ever, artful framing and lighting and the costumes and setting were all timeless. This movie is just as good now as it was back then.

Beauty and the Beast 2017 - 1/10

If you are familiar with the animated version from 1991, this movie, in comparison, is a steaming pile of moldy shit. Unless you're familiar with the original, every action characters make lacks motivation, and they do what they do because it was in the original movie.

4/10 Beauty and the Beast

Emma was the only reason the movie got a number out of 10.

See, this is why real-life remakes are stupid.

If you don't stick the original, people will bitch and complain that they've ruined a classic.

If you copy the original, people will bitch and complain that it's exactly the same and therefore terrible.

What's also stupid is they make so, so much money. I suspect Disney will inevitably do real life remakes for a lot, if not all of their iconic cartoon movies.

Beauty and the Beast was fine. It was a neat reimagining of the original. I don't see why anyone would complain one way or the other. What did you expect?

If you watched it at home I can see how that can be more disappointing though

Logan 9.7/10 - wow, what a spectacular movie. Not what I was expecting at all. All kinds of emotion throughout the movie. These R-rated superhero movies are what I've been waiting for since I was a kid. Not a perfect 10 as there was 3 CGI scenes that I spotted and kinda went "meh". Other than that, it one of the best drama/action movies I've ever seen.

The series isnt over yet before the start of 'Alien'. Still to many questions on how the eggs got on the alien ship that the 'Nostromos' found
(if you get what i am saying without spoiling it)

Alien (1979)
9.5/10

I can't imagine watching this in 1979. Practically a flawless sci-fi horror movie.

John Wick 2
7/10
The first one was better, this was pretty good

Poorly written. It had more "people doing stupid shit" scenes than Prometheus. 80% of their problems could be avoided if the Weyland group had a competent HR team hiring astronauts with at least average IQ.

A few of the "people doing stupid shit" is in the spoilers.

Spoiler!


They also chose the shittiest setting for the planet; some random lake in Vancouver BC.

you qualify that statement "for a 70s film". Some if not MOST of the greatest movies of all time were "70s films"

Fast 8 - 6.5-7/10

Imo, it just doesn't feel right anymore. Don't get me wrong, the actions are there but the plot is meh. Towards the middle of the movie, I even thought about not watching it anymore
