- DirectorJonathan WrightStarsShane WestLeslie BibbMatt CravenOver 40 years since the infamous Zodiac killer terrorised inhabitants of San Francisco and surrounds, three people stumble across homemade films of some of his murders. They then set out to track him down.I laughed on how I missed over 30 minutes of the frickin' beginning and didn't even care about the rest of the entire film so I laughed my head off all of the last hour and then noticed that everything in Awakening the Zodiac does not work, It's unwatchable, has terrible lighting, acting plotholes and is without further ado my least favorite film of the year.
- DirectorAlex KurtzmanStarsTom CruiseSofia BoutellaAnnabelle WallisAn ancient Egyptian princess is awakened from her crypt beneath the desert, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia and terrors that defy human comprehension.Holy Moly, I can't stand on the way they had possibly had done all this without trying, Tom Cruise has been in some good movies... I should watch "American Made" Anytime soon, Of course the Dummy is my least favorite big budget snoozefest and is a messy start for a Monster Universe... Just die Already!
- DirectorNicholas McCarthyStarsScott FoleyDave AnnableJohn DomanThis is the true story of crime author Joe McGinniss's journey to write "Fatal Vision", a best-selling book about Jeffrey MacDonald, a Green Beret doctor who's accused of slaying his pregnant wife and two daughters in the early 1970s.No, I'm not gonna call Final Vision a movie at all, It's boring... Unpredictable and feels much longer than it is.
- DirectorDavid LoweryStarsCasey AffleckRooney MaraMcColm Cephas Jr.In this singular exploration of legacy, love, loss, and the enormity of existence, a recently deceased, white-sheeted ghost returns to his suburban home to try to reconnect with his bereft wife.Spoiler Alert: you'd see a woman eating pie for at least 5,000 seconds, that's how boring A Ghost Story is... but it does improve on keeping it surreal for it to be enough to make a good A24 independent flick.
- DirectorTomas AlfredsonStarsMichael FassbenderRebecca FergusonCharlotte GainsbourgDetective Harry Hole investigates the disappearance of a woman whose scarf is found wrapped around an ominous-looking snowman.As soon as I first heard the news paper report giving this film 3 and a half stars I thought it can't be that bad, Michael Fassbender did try and it had potential, unfortunately I agree with the other critics on The Snowman and calling this one a disappointing excuse of a film.
- DirectorBenny BoomStarsDemetrius Shipp Jr.Danai GuriraKat GrahamTells the true and untold story of prolific rapper, actor, poet and activist Tupac Shakur.I don't wanna be racist or anything, but it's not their fault that All Eyez on Me was a disappointment... what they did get right with the film is the beloved Tupac working from one record to another, his death and the scenery, but what they got wrong is most of the editing which felt choppy, too long of a film based off one or two rappers, they could have started somewhere else and the main problem... It's boring and not very memorable.
- DirectorD.J. CarusoStarsVin DieselDonnie YenDeepika PadukoneXander Cage is left for dead after an incident, though he secretly returns to action for a new, tough assignment with his handler Augustus Gibbons.Originally xXx: Return of Xander Cage was suppose to be rewarded 6 out of 10, however... for the green screen being terrible and the effects being worse than you can probably expect in any action film I've ducted 2 stars which means this film only got 4 out of 10, the director should be ashamed.
- DirectorZack SnyderStarsBen AffleckGal GadotJason MomoaFueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman's selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his new-found ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy.It was a 7 out of 10 until I dropped down 3 grades below to make it a most suitable number for one of the biggest disappointment and flops by the DC extended Universe after watching it the 2nd time, Justice League was my most anticipated film of the year... then it had problems.
- DirectorDavid AyerStarsWill SmithJoel EdgertonNoomi RapaceA detective must work with an Orc to find a powerful wand before evil creatures do.I could not remember the last recent film I have ever seen with Will Smith, I never saw "Concussion" or "Winter's Tale", "Focus" but I have seen Netflix's Fantasy Action flick "Bright", It was mindless, fun, but it isn't a very good film so I am gonna give it 5 out of 10, seems fair.
- DirectorBill CondonStarsEmma WatsonDan StevensLuke EvansA selfish Prince is cursed to become a monster for the rest of his life, unless he learns to fall in love with a beautiful young woman he keeps prisoner.This was nominated a few awards, It's a beautiful film, but the struggle with this one is that it's a remake and Emma Watson wasn't the perfect Belle Afterall, I liked the Gaston character and the actor playing him and the beast song is probably the best one.
- DirectorJon WattsStarsTom HollandMichael KeatonRobert Downey Jr.Peter Parker balances his life as an ordinary high school student in Queens with his superhero alter-ego Spider-Man, and finds himself on the trail of a new menace prowling the skies of New York City.Can't ignore the Sony Marvel deal for a good flick like this but Spider-Man: Homecoming did have a couple issues and didn't find it as funny like Toby Mcguire's "Spiderman" films but it did improve over "The Amazing Spiderman 2"... A lot.
- DirectorChristopher LandonStarsJessica RotheIsrael BroussardRuby ModineA college student must relive the day of her murder over and over again, in a loop that will end only when she discovers her killer's identity.It's a birthday one, but a satisfying one... It isn't the best horror Blumhouse film that Jason Blum had produced, but what I'm not happy about is that Happy Death Day had made a sequel.
- DirectorNikolaj ArcelStarsIdris ElbaMatthew McConaugheyTom TaylorA boy haunted by visions of a dark tower from a parallel reality teams up with the tower's disillusioned guardian to stop an evil warlock known as the Man in Black who plans to use the boy to destroy the tower and open the gates of Hell.This Steven King Adaptation was somehow better than I expected, and no I did not miss the beginning, I looked on you tube to find the opening scene and It was good... but The Dark Tower overall was mediocre, It had action, little diversity, but that's all.
- DirectorRidley ScottStarsMichael FassbenderKatherine WaterstonBilly CrudupThe crew of a colony ship, bound for a remote planet, discover an uncharted paradise with a threat beyond their imagination, and must attempt a harrowing escape.Not their best "Alien" film but at the same time not a bad one either, I find the death scenes unnecessary but I would rather watch Alien: Covenant the 2nd time than Prometheus which that one was a mess.
- DirectorToa FraserStarsJamie BellMark StrongAbbie CornishBased on the Iranian Embassy siege of 1980, this action-thriller dramatizes a six-day standoff between armed Iranian Arabs and SAS soldiers ready for a counterattack.Pretty good I guess, 6 Days is decent and Mark Strong has an interesting character in him that really got me for not saying no.
- DirectorDarren AronofskyStarsJennifer LawrenceJavier BardemEd HarrisA couple's relationship is tested when uninvited guests arrive at their home, disrupting their tranquil existence.It god mixed opinions, but Mother! was disturbing in multiple levels, I felt a heartbeat through most of their intensity and do not get me wrong if i say that I liked this more than other horror films.
- DirectorJamie M. DaggStarsJon BernthalChristopher AbbottImogen PootsA former rodeo champ befriends a young man with a propensity for violence.It's a dark film, Sweet Virginia is a good film... but not a great film with guns as their prop holds.
- DirectorRob ReinerStarsWoody HarrelsonJames MarsdenRob ReinerA group of journalists of the Knight-Ridder news service covering President George W. Bush's planned invasion of Iraq in 2003 are skeptical of the President's claim that Saddam Hussein has "weapons of mass destruction."Not Spotlight good, Shock and Awe has actors I enjoy performing and it had the decently to try to last more on their liabilities, personally I think It's alright!
- DirectorPeter LandesmanStarsLiam NeesonDiane LaneMarton CsokasThe story of Mark Felt, who under the name "Deep Throat" helped journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein uncover the Watergate scandal in 1972.First time I've seen Liam Neeson play a politician, Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House was confusing but I liked some of it.
- DirectorMatthew VaughnStarsTaron EgertonColin FirthMark StrongAfter the Kingsman's headquarters is destroyed and the world is held hostage, an allied spy organization in the United States is discovered. These two elite secret agencies must band together to defeat a common enemy.Alright, now we have moved one with a sequel of Kingsman which isn't as good but still find funny to this very day, however... I will never hate on great actors like Colin firth or Mark Strong, oh!
and Elton John was Hilarious. - DirectorDavid LeitchStarsCharlize TheronJames McAvoyJohn GoodmanAn undercover MI6 agent is sent to Berlin during the Cold War to investigate the murder of a fellow agent and recover a missing list of double agents.Well, that's all of the mediocre okay bad rated films I had done so now onto the good ones, I say... Atomic Blonde really amused me, I liked the ending scene and I should have gave this 7 instead of 6... never mind!
- DirectorJake KasdanStarsDwayne JohnsonKaren GillanKevin HartFour teenagers are sucked into a magical video game, and the only way they can escape is to work together to finish the game.I liked the film, of course It can't beat the classic Robin Williams "Jumanji" back in 1995, but it had funny comedians like Kevin Hart which I think this is the only good one he has made.
- DirectorBrian GoodmanStarsAntonio BanderasJonathan Rhys MeyersPiper PeraboA reclusive screenwriter takes in a mysterious drifter who is determined to repay his kindness by helping him finish his latest story.I'm surprised when I saw Antonio Banderas's name on the credits, I say that is really him,
what I enjoyed most about Black Butterfly is that it doesn't set on many locations at all. - DirectorDan GilroyStarsDenzel WashingtonColin FarrellCarmen EjogoRoman J. Israel, Esq., a driven, idealistic defense attorney, finds himself in a tumultuous series of events that lead to a crisis and the necessity for extreme action.People would call this a masterpiece, I saw this on the channel where they play all the really great films, and Roman J. Israel, Esq. is a natural film with a ton of research and typewriters we all can remember the thought and fame of.
- DirectorKenneth BranaghStarsKenneth BranaghPenélope CruzWillem DafoeWhen a murder occurs on the train on which he's travelling, celebrated detective Hercule Poirot is recruited to solve the case.I have heard this was based on a book or some kind, It's not an original film more like an Adaptation as I seen Murder on the Orient Express with a friend and we both found it to be very interesting with a plot twist that really surprised us.
