Top Gun: Maverick (2022)

Enjoyable Fan Service

[6/10 · 10 June 2022]

It's an enjoyable film, but being way too over hyped. As corny as the first film may be, I feel it has way more heart and character than it's sequel. The sequel is worth seeing, but I don't feel it's worthy of the hype it's receiving.

Silent Hill (2006)

It's like an awful nightmare in the form of a film

[8/10 · 13 March 2021]

It's not a perfect film, but it certainly gets the job done. It reminds me of horrible nightmares I've had. It's quite twisted and disturbing at times. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes twisted horror films.

Soul (2020)

Definitely has soul.

This is a beautiful companion piece to "Inside Out". It's a touching reminder to be grateful for the life you have and to make the best of every moment. I highly recommend this film.

The Conjuring (2013)

Gets Under My Skin

[10/10 · 21 November 2020]

It's one of those rare horror movies that actually gets under my skin. Whenever I watch it, I feel quite terrible afterwards. That is why, to me, it's such an effective horror movie. The Exorcist is the only other horror movie that get under my skin in such a way. I highly recommend The Conjuring.

Avengers: Endgame (2019)

Avengers Go Back to the Future

[6/10 · 27 April 2019]

I like the movie, but I can't say that it's outstanding. For most fans, it should satisfy. I like the Marvel movies. None of them are perfect, which includes this one. I believe it's worth seeing if you are fan of the previous Marvel films.

Deadpool 2 (2018)

Running on fumes

[5/10 · 31 May 2018]

I truly love the 1st movie. It's not perfect, but it's very funny and enjoyable. The 2nd movie has its funny moments and there are even some sensitive moments. The movie is far from terrible and definitely not great. I just wasn't into it much. To me, it felt thrown together just for the sake of having a sequel. Felt pointless. The jokes and frequent references grew old too fast. For me, the movie just doesn't appeal. I don't advise others against seeing it, though. My tastes and preferences are mine and no one else's. Others may thoroughly enjoy it. If you're a fan of Deadpool or just seek pure escapism, then go see it. You may or may not love it.

And that's my attempt at a review. I'm no Roger Ebert.

The Conjuring 2 (2016)

More like Insidious 4

[6/10 · 14 June 2016]

I absolutely love the first Conjuring movie. When I watch that movie, it gets under my skin. I actually feel troubled and somewhat terrible after watching it. I rank the first movie rather high. It bothers me almost as much as the Exorcist does. I don't even like to watch it at night. The feeling of dread in that movie is heavy. In the sequel, my patience was challenged a bit. It plays out like a sampler of far better films such as Poltergeist and The Evil Dead. It's fun for what it is: a popcorn movie. If you enjoy fun ghost movies, see this one. If you're expecting a movie on the level of the first Conjuring, you may find yourself a bit disappointed.
