Pretty damn good. Loaded cast, movie seemed to work for me.

My parents love this movie. I also now love this movie.

This shit slaps. What could be better than two Denzel’s?????? Two Denzels with sick ass glasses and a time machine.

Classic watch. Watched on VHS when I was younger. Slow start but has great sound/effects with a surprisingly loaded cast. Awesome soundtrack

Damn good. For some reason, it’s even better in French with English subtitles. Really enjoyed this all the way through.

Didn’t enjoy this as much as I thought, obviously I love the accents but I didn’t really like the pacing or plot- classic mix of gangsters double crossing each other thing that I wasn’t really too invested in.

Actually enjoyed this. Filming style is super unique, but I liked it much more than I thought.

It’s alright, kind of the same thing for 2 hours. Color is kind of strange and saturated. Classic war movie though. Watched with Drew and Everett.

Considered a classic. I liked it.

Never gets old

Really liked this- a little on the slower side, but was a real movie about real life. Kind of similar to Manchester by the Sea in the feel.

Marvel fell off dawg

Pretty good- watched this movie in Spanish with English subtitles in Cotacatchi, Ecuador. Visually stunning. Jude Law is awesome in this. Everett might like this.

Watched this again at my friends new apartment in Quito. This movie shaped my childhood and my adulthood, and influenced my interest in motorcycles. I am equally excited to watch this movie as I was when I was 10.

Awful director, Brody is phenomenal. Absolutely insane. Great music.

Doesn’t get any better than this.

Watched on Tuesday December 31, 2024.

Watched in Ecuador with several puerto rican/cuban folks that lived in New York. They felt like it highlighted what it was like to be Latino in America, especially in New York. I don’t have the same experience so I can’t say I was wildly invested.

Damn good. Not two towers good, or the return of the king good, but pretty great. This is one of those movies/series that totally sucks me in. I just wish it never ends, honestly. 

RIP my boy Boromir. You clutched up in the end.

Also- spoiler for first 5 minutes of the second movie- when Gandalf leads them down the stairs in the first movie, before we first see the Balroc, he says that “swords have no place/use here”. First 5 minutes into the Two Towers shows him flying at the damn thing with a sword in his hand, and starts stabbing it. I guess they are useful.

My favorite, and best motorsport driver of all time. I love this documentary. Senna Sempre

Watched on the plane. Didn’t know much about the history of this, but love the movie.

Probably one of the best WWII watches out there. Makes me want to go fight for something, for the US to believe in things again. I’ll have to watch this again. 

Yeah, I watched it all in 2 days on weather standby.

Affleck and Pitt do an incredible job here- and the cinematography is masterful, but not my favorite watch. I won’t lie, was a bit long and boring with a few good scenes. I just didn’t find myself that invested. Maybe I’ll try it again sometime.

Gladiator wins the “guy dramatically runs his hands through wheat as sunset” competition.

Incredibly long, but good watch. My dad had a model of Chuck Yeager’s Bell X1 in his home office for years. I’m pretty sure that the new Top Gun is supposed to pay homage to the intro and outro scenes of this movie- which are by far the most redeemable. 

Learned a lot about the space race and the Mercury program while watching this.

I loved this movie. Pacing is right, characters are funny, the plot is extremely relatable for anyone working, or have worked, jobs they don’t like. I can’t believe they put “Damn it feels good to be a gangsta” by the Geto Boys in this.

One of the easiest movies to watch I’ve seen in a long time. I really enjoyed the performances, especially by Crowe. 

If 2006 Marion Cotillard asked me to run I would say how far?

Predictable plot but I don’t really care. Loved the warm lighting and music.

Nothing more to say

It’s alright, pretty funny at times but certainly not my favorite Christmas movie.

Nothing will beat the OG twister, but a pretty good sequel. But, there’s not:

“You stole Dorothy you dirty thief”
“Liability only”
Phil Seymour (RIP)
“What’s an F5?, the finger of God”

I enjoyed it though. Glad to see another red Ram 2500 on screen.

Saw this with Everett, found myself pretty disappointed. Great action sequences, but tries too hard to fill the tropes and themes of the first movie. Great to see at IMAX, but I was dozing off in the last half.

I can’t believe that’s the guy from training day, running out of movies to watch, but this was pretty good.

Continuing my run of movies surrounding Irish conflict, this by far takes the cake. Highlights the moral ambiguity of northern Irish conflict. An extremely gripping thriller with great performances from all. Found myself immersed in this one.

This wasn’t really my favorite movie, but I understand it’s value. I guess it’s supposed to highlight the value of friendship in a world that is easy to get lost in. I’m not really sure what this movie is supposed to be about. It’s kind of one of those strange metaphorical movies (the fingers?) that I don’t totally understand. 

RIP Jenny the donkey. I don’t blame the sister one bit for leaving. I enjoyed the way this movie was shot though.

Continuing with the Irish IRA theme, enjoyed this watch. I didn’t know anything about the Irish IRA conflict until this movie inspired me to do some research. Cillian Murphy, as always does a great job.

Didn’t mind at all. One of Neeson’s best in recent years. While it wasn’t incredible, the character development, backdrop, and complicated political conflict seemed to tie this one up. I’ll always be a sucker for the “worn out contract killer/bad ass makes one more strike at justice” trope. Way better that it’s  filmed in beautiful Ireland.

I probably haven’t seen this movie since I was eight or nine on VHS. For some reason, I didn’t how good it was. I love the simplicity, the British accents, the characters the lessons learned. Bagheera and the vultures steal the show for me. An easy 5/5.

Really enjoyed this watch, the scenes of and Switzerland reminded me of my childhood traveling there. The narrow, cobbled streets, cafés, it brought back a lot of memories for me. Enjoyed how the plot felt carefree but serious and emotional at the same time. The motorcycle scene was badass, apparently based on a 1962 Triumph, they modified to make look older.

Quintessential old documentary for motorcycle lovers. The desert race and six day segments are my favorite, reminds me of the days riding the ranch with Cameron and building my 1983 XT550.

Before my grandmother died, she had dementia and watched this movie everyday for 6 or so months, or a year. I can’t . I never got around to see the whole thing. 

Really enjoyed the watch. Makes me want to sail huge rivers in Africa to find the mrs. while building makeshift armaments. 

In memory of Jeanne Lynn.

Enjoyed this one alot, even if it was a little long. Highlights how planning can’t solve all military environmental issues in wartime. Loved the cast. Connery doming a guy through a window is a badass scene, loved the shots of artillery and airborne drops. Will watch again to see Alfred as tank commander.

Loved this movie more than I thought I would. I get why people say it’s one of the all time greats. Tackles love, sacrifice, and friendship. Rick is one bad mf.

Incredible cast, pretty good movie. A good spin on the heist that makes it a little bit more intellectual. Enjoyed this watch.

Damn, this is a terrible movie. About 10 minutes of reclaiming action sequences, but is overall garbage.

Amazing cuts between past/present. This movie flows so well and makes sense without being too obvious or losing the oh shit appeal. Longmire, the TV series has a very similar feel to this.

This movie is insane- I still can’t believe that this kind of stuff happened not too long ago in our country. Paced well and does a good job of being fairly intimidating. Amazing watch. Dafoe and Hackman have a great dynamic.

Damn, this is a perfect movie. Love, loss, victory, defeat, freedom, captivity, hardship, mercy, friendship- it has everything and does it so well.

I love basically everything about this movie for some reason. Ray Charles, John Lee Hooker, the car chases, the whole thing. I think I’m a big Coen brothers fan.

Heist movie. Gerald butler has cool hair. Tries to be modern day “Heat”. Didn’t hate it. Gunfight sequences were awesome.

I love Denzel.
