Amigos (2018)
This shouldn't be allowed to exist...
I didn't laugh once at this. There is nothing in this show that could make you even chuckle. It's just one big rip-off of Friends. Or a "parody" that uses every single joke from Friends and just makes it terrible. Don't watch it, unless you're only there for Lele, which I wasn't.
Hereditary (2018)
It was good, I definitely enjoyed it more than my family though.
The Good:
I went to see this film with my family when this came out, and it was definitely the disturbing experience. I was on the edge my seat through pretty much this whole film, I was really into what was going on in the whole atmosphere of the movie, and was really interested in what would happen next. It definitely does a good job of getting you hooked into the plot and it makes it very hard for you to even leave the room for something such as using the restroom! I really wasn't expecting Charlie to die near the beginning of the film, I seriously could barely guess what was going to happen, especially to each character.
The Bad:
One thing about this film, was that the ending was definitely unexpected, in a bad way. It definitely could've been better, but at the same time, it also could've been worse. I kind of felt that I had wasted all of that 2 hours of getting gripped to the storyline on a disappointing ending, but I definitely don't hate the entire film for it. The ending wasn't good, but it wasn't terrible either (not exactly what my family thinks though), which is why I gave the film the rating that I did, becsuse the ending could've been much worse.
I honestly don't know whether or not I should suggest this film, but I can say that you should look into it first before watching it so you don't get completely disappointed. By the way, there really isn't any "ugly" I have for this movie, if you had picked up on the references.

Deadpool 2 (2018)
A fun action film for fun people.
This has to be one if my favorite action flicks that I have ever seen in my entire life. Usually, sequels don't meet up to my expectations, but this one did just that! I meant to write this review sooner, but here it is now. This film mashed all of my favorite things for an action/comedy into one movie, talented and humorous writing, satisfying action sequences, a good plot, and good ol' fun. This didn't out rank the first deadpool for me, as I do love them both the same, because I definitely like going back to the first one for a much more simple action comedy, and back to this one for the incredible writing, perfect plot, and the many more Deadpool gags. I can't stress enough how much Ryan Reynolds fits this role perfectly, especially due to his actual personality. Vanessa's death definitely striked me as fairly depressing, but it did fit with the rest of the story/plot. One thing I wished for in this flick that I didn't get was seeing the X-force get more of a role in the film, and see them fight along Deadpool, instead of dying instantly due to severe winds, but other than that, the film was amazing, and couldn't be any more of a perfect action comedy, with the perfect cast.
Also, I definitely got a really good kick out if the alternate time travelling gag that played during the credits, my family couldn't stop laughing neither at the baby legs joke. I suggest you give this flick a watch if you hadn't already!

Super Troopers 2 (2018)
Best Comedy I've Seen in a While!
I was shocked by how much I loved this film! I had barely known about it until a day after it's release, and I was able to get a good kick out of the first one, so I had to go see this one. My Mom and I went go see this, and on my way there, I didn't know what I was expecting. I was kind of worried that it would pull a "Zoolander" and just be a sequel that has little to no comparison to the predecessor's comedy, and would all just be some failed cash-grab, but I had heard good things about it when I found out that it was playing, so I decided that I should give it a watch. When we had entered the theatre, I wasn't expecting to see many people there, but I was shocked when I had learned the theatre was practically full. Every row had at least a couple of people in it.
So, getting to the movie, it destroyed my minor expectations. We were laughing pretty much through out the whole film. It was just like the first one, crude humor, and five cops having a genuine good time. I was satisfied with Jim Gaffigan's appearance in the movie, they even bothered to refer to the gag they pulled on him in the predecessor. I didn't want to look at too many reviews because I didn't want to see another "Vulgarity isn't Comedy" review, which shouldn't even be a complaint for an "R-Rated" comedy. I definitely suggest this movie to anyone who enjoyed the first one, and to anyone who isn't easily offended. Just a friendly warning though, this film is definitely not for your children!
12 Strong (2018)
Far better than what most say it is...
"Depth":
This film was incredibly satisfying to me. It definitely had me on the edge of my seat when I was watching it. I really hate seeing these reviews that are complaining about the movie's depth, and I can see why you would consider that one of the film's flaws...but giving it a 5/10 or less because of that one flaw...really? If you think that there are more flaws than that then I would understand...but there's more to a film than it's "depth", especially a film based on a true story. I honestly thought this movie was very meaningful and thoughtful of the people that actually fought after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It seems that critics aren't thinking about that at all, they just care about this one flaw in the film. You know that people don't look into a film as much as they need to when they give a film a pretty low rating because they noticed one flaw, especially one that a lot of people wouldn't notice, and or care about.
My Thoughts On The Movie:
This movie really showed me what the fights after the 9/11 terrorist attacks were like...and that's pretty much the movie's entire goal, is to educate it's viewers on what happened after 9/11. It was also a very heartwarming movie. Seeing all of the character's saying goodbye to their families was pretty sad to watch, but then you see characters like Mitch Nelson (played by Chris Hemsworth) smiling when they come back home seeing their families joyful reactions, you feel your heart sitting next to a fire (well...unless you care WAY too much about the films depth...). And that is what makes this a good "War" movie, that it's not just violence, it also explores the lives of the characters that are fighting in it. Seeing all of the main protagonists bond and joke with each other could also be really satisfying to people who don't like the "overly-serious" type films (I, however, am not one of those people). I just like how the writers put some humor into their script for this movie, and that's something you have to appreciate for films like this. If you're into these kinds of movies, I definitely suggest you watch it, and if you don't know, give it a watch, and if you're not, then you probably shouldn't watch it. Just focus on the movie's storyline and not on ENTIRELY on the depth, this movie has a lot of meaning to it and it's not aiming to become a perfect movie (not many films do), it just wants to educate it's viewers, which is what a lot of "History" films do, try to educate the viewer. I enjoyed it.
Also, I was really satisfied about Michael Pena, Michael Shannon and Rob Riggle's roles in this flick.
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017)
Quite the enjoyable film!
This movie definitely got me attached! Loved the roles for the film, and definitely love the story line and comedy. It had characters you could get attached to (including the main antagonist) and it had pretty everything certain people could enjoy from an Adventure/Comedy/Fantasy movie! Especially for some of the older ages. It even had some pretty intense scenes compared to the older film. I suggest you to watch this movie if you're into these kinds of films, I definitely got a few laughs out of it, hope you will too!
It (2017)
Loved IT.
I could not believe how much I enjoyed this film. I am not really much of a fan of the 'Horror' films, I definitely like a few, like Get Out, The Shining, It Follows, and others, but not a whole lot of them. But this film I couldn't help but enjoy. I really love the amount of comedy that they had put in this film, also loved Finn's role in the movie as Richie, reminds me of "Stranger Things". The fact that they were able to put a relationship (Bill and Beverly) along side the horrific story line was pretty incredible to me. Really wasn't expecting the sewer scene to be so horrifying when Pennywise literally BIT off Georgie's arm, which is honestly what they should've done considering that the mini series wasn't able to do it, because of it being on live 1990 television. The amount of story that they had put into this was pretty amazing. This was the most incredible way to make this movie and they definitely outdid themselves with it. After watching this movie, I started reading more Stephen King novels, mostly because I really enjoyed this film and couldn't help but credit this movie's story line. Also liked the style of horror it used, they used such a classic style of horror, but they made it even more nightmare-ish to the point where it's actually genuinely disturbing. After this movie, I'm definitely going to start reading more Stephen King novels. If you enjoy more of the classical horror, then I'll bet you'll enjoy this flick.
Neighbors (2014)
Okay...why the bad reviews?
I have been going through the User Reviews and all I see are 1s and 2s...and it's honestly a mystery to me. I feel like the reviews are just a bunch of parents in their 30s to mid 40s that thought the movie was about acting more mature and to not have fun. No, the message was that being a parent doesn't have to keep you from having fun from time to time, but always be sure it's at the right time. They became cool with each other in the end, if you just watched it and didn't leave the theater immediately, and ran home to write a review. And a bunch of other people said that the movie was "vulgar and brainless", which shows me enough that people don't into movies as much as they should, in fact, I don't think people look into these kinds of movies at all. Yes, I understand that this movie has a lot of drug use and profanity, and there is a good amount of crude humor with sexual content and graphic nudity, but that doesn't really make the movie completely vulgar. This movie had a lot behind that adults need to understand. Plus, not to mention, it was a movie about frat boys living next door, were you expecting this movie's humor to be pleasant? I honestly thought this movie was fairly funny, especially the airbag scenes, and even if it wasn't, I'd still enjoy it, because it lets you know that you can still have fun from time to time, and nothing will keep you from doing that for a long time. You have to look into a movie more before you review it.
The Night Before (2015)
A nice movie to watch for people feeling upset on the Holidays.
This is probably one of my favorite holiday movies of all time. I watch it every Christmas, especially when I'm not feeling the happiest. It's such a nice movie to watch when your feeling upset. It's such a colorful and happy movie, it's also very lighthearted. There couldn't be a better main cast than Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Anthony Mackie, and Seth Rogen. It's definitely a really fun movie and a really good one to watch for the older and stressed out people on the Holidays. And, if not the Holidays, then that's what "Neighbors" is for.
