"Would be great if they would reveal a bit, at some time, about what the fuck is going on. I didn't appreciate how all the marketing for the movie centered around Bullock and the kids, when most of the film apparently takes place as a flashback. And once you see one trailer, you have the rest of the movie plotted out. Some great atmosphere at times, but it isn't enough to make this film very good."

"A great TV series. The earlier seasons were better than the latter ones. I honestly thought this thing was a comedy for the first several episodes. I find Better Call Saul a better series. "

"The standard by which all law enforcement shows should strive. Some seasons are clearly better than others, but the narrative that stretches through this series is an absolute masterpiece."

| 69 49% | Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017) - Sep 15, 2019
"This film ruins the franchise worse than the prequels. It contained two plot lines (both Poe and Finn) that did nothing, and the Rey/Ren team-up that was teased ended up not happening. There was nothing brave about Rian Johnson's decisions. Social justice commentary, rewriting characters, disregarding teased elements, wasting talent like Benecio Del Toro. Movie made me hate Poe and Finn, resent Leia, and feel sorry for Mark Hamill. And I liked Rian Johnson before this. What a cluster fuck."

"Jack Black really rocks this role. And based on a true story, too. Black can be a very versatile actor when he's not type cast. This movie is as solid as the rest of Linklater's work. "

| 93 96% | Avengers: Infinity War (2018) - Jun 10, 2019
"A new bar for the Marvel universe and super hero movies everywhere. Movie does not let go. It starts action packed, and it just keeps going, beautifully weaving together multiple films and characters from the franchise. The film maintained focus and set up Endgame quite nicely, too."

| 81 80% | Spectre (2015) - Apr 23, 2019
"It can't compare to Casino Royale or Skyfall. The ending is awful, the action sequences are awful, and the best part of the movie was actually Ralph Fiennes as M."

| 86 89% | Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) - Apr 06, 2019
"Spider-Man finally comes home to Marvel, and in a "spectacular" fashion. Tom Holland is the greatest Spider-Man, and we can finally get past the origin story and into what a teenage Spider-Man is all about. Vulture makes a great first villain for a new hero. This is the Spider-Man that we needed, and with an actor who is young enough to play him in a legit franchise. There is enough to do with Spider-Man, I really hope we see a couple of decades of these films."

"I lost interest before the end of the first season. However, I did enjoy rooting for Kevin Spacey up until he became irredeemable in my eyes. After that point, I can't empathize, and I lose interest. "

| 85 87% | John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017) - Mar 09, 2019
"It isn't as charming as the first film. However, it does up the action. I will continue to watch Keanu Reeves kick ass as long as he wants to keep making these movies. The action sequences are top-notch, and that's the only reason anyone watches these things, yeah?"
