10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)
Hitchcokian pacing: more about the suspense than the action. Love it or hate it kinda film. I loved, wife hated.

13 Hours: The secret soldiers in Benghazi
A documentary by Michael Bay? What is this world coming to?

2000 Mules
Documentary on the criminal voter fraud and ballot stuffing during the 2020 Presidential Election.

2016 Obama's America
Hated by reviewers, loved by viewers. A better movie than Fahrenheit 9/11, but that's a pretty low bar.

A Monster Calls (2016)
Slow, dark, thoughtful, with a great message. Uses tragedy to remind people of what's important in life. One of the best movies of 2017.

A Quiet Place (2018)
Not horribly acted, filmed, directed... just the dumbest people alive (failure to adapt) ruined it for me.

After Earth (2013)
A moderately watchable way for Will Smith to try to help his son advance his floundering acting career.

America: Imagine the World Without her (2014)
Dinesh D'Souza tries to cover too much, and it's more about American History than alternate reality. But needed film.

American Assassin (2017)
A completely predictable, but not unwatchable super-spy movie.

An Inconvenient Truth (2006)
An alternate reality propaganda film by Al Gore with a fictionalized pseudo-science on how bad Climate/CO2 is.

Angel Has Fallen (2019)
Redemption flick: Secret Service Agent is framed for an assassination attempt, and redeems himself.

Ant-Man (2015)
You don't go to see Ant-Man to see a deep and meaningful movie. But it is silly and fun.

Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018)
Ant-Man and the Wasp, is the long anticipated sequel to Ant-Man (2015),

Arrival (2016)
A good but slow “first contact” sci-fi thriller, written about a cunning linguist who slowly discovers how to communicate with aliens.

Atlas Shrugged (Movie Trilogy)
How much you like it will be influenced by how much you liked the Books, and how high your expectations are.

Avengers: Infinity War
Infinity War is a superhero film based on the 19 other Marvel films. If you haven't seen the others first, it's chaos.

Bad Teacher (2011)
It certainly won't be up for any awards or offer many surprises. But it wasn't quite AS bad as the reviews.

Batman v Superman (2016)
It wasn't as bad as I'd imagined it would be. But it wasn't good enough that I'd voluntarily pay to see it either.

Battle L.A. (2011)
Deeper than Independence Day, but still, "another Alien invade earth" total shoot 'em up movie.

Beauty and the Beast (2017)
My wife wanted to see Beauty and the Beast: the live action version of an animated classic was on the must see list.

Black Panther (2018)
The first Marvel film of 2018, it wasn't as good as the hype, or groundbreaking, but it was good enough (middle of Marvel pack).

Blade Runners (2017)
Some movies are better as a memory than in rewatching them. Blade runner did that for me.

The Blind Side (2009)
Really good movie, better than the 66/85 on Rotten Tomatoes (in my opinion). Best of this list of 2011 flicks, by far.

Blockers (2018)
Instead of 3 boys trying to get laid, it was parents reactions to 3 teen girls sex pact to lose their virginity on prom night.

Bond:Skyfall (2011)
Nice retro-Bond almost complete reboot. Definitely worth the price. (93/86 on Rotten Tomatoes).

Bond:Spectre (2015)
Reviewers whined that it was a nostalgic backslide, viewers disagreed and liked it. I was a viewer.

Book of Henry (2017)
Precocious genius Henry are being raised by their self-absorbed Mom (Susan), when Henry creates of his own justice.

Born on the 4th of July (1989)
{{{1Liner}}}

Bridge of Spies (2015)
A good, slow, historical drama-thriller type movie.

Bros (2022)
Far left Gay Film flops at the box office, bigoted writer blames homophobia and not a bad film/story or woke fatigue.

Call of the Wild (2020)
Harrison Ford and CGI does a fake live-action remake of this Jack London classic, with quriky results.

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
Captain America wasn't bad for a Alternate Universe Steam-punkish Super-Hero flick.

Captain Marvel (2019)
Ms. Marvel got turned into Captain Marvel and the Woke screenplay was started soon after. It's badness wasn't just woke.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1971)
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was a classic movie done in 1971, with Gene Wilder, and it's a creepy, must see classic.

Crash (2004)
I remember hearing that Crash was a great movie that won all sorts of awards (back in 2005) and I'd never got around to seeing it.

The Creepy Line
This is a documentary on how Facebook and Google turns your data into their profit, and manipulate you in the process.

Dark Night Rises (2012)
Saw Dark Knight Rises. I thought it was good (or slighly better than OK), but a lot less than I hoped for. My wife hated it.

Dave Chapelle:The Closer
Because Chappelle made fun of everyone equally (including Trans/gay/woke mob), the left hated it.

Dawn of Planet of the Apes (2015)
If you want to see Planet of the Apes, this is the best reboot you'll see all year, even with more plot holes than the NJ turnpike.

Deadpool (2016)
This tied for my favorite Marvel movie with Guardians of the Galaxy. Though it's a hard R in rating.

Deadpool 2 (2018)
If you liked Deadpool, you will like Deadpool 2, even if it's not as Fresh.

Death of a Nation (2018)
A documentary that details things that infuriate the truths the left doesn't want to here.

Deepwater Horizon (2016)
I liked it as entertainment, but not as history of a real event. Too Hollywood'ed and made-up heroes and villains.

Doctor Strange (2016)
Merged the Matrix, Mysticism (eastern), and Marvel. Basically a mind/reality bending martial arts film.

Dont look up (2021)
Two low-level astronomers try to warn distracted humanity of an approaching comet that will destroy Earth.

Dunkirk (2017)
This wasn't bad, but it isn't a Historical War movie, it's a vignette movie with 3 overlapping stories.

Elysium (2013)
Matt Damon's space propaganda for Obamacare. Other than incongruities, lack of plot, sanctimonious smugness, it was almost interesting.

Fahrenheit 911 (2004)
Michael Moore hit piece with a few true events, taken out of context and editing that would make Joseph Goebbels proud.

Fantastic Beasts (2016)
I’m not a huge J. K. Rowling or Harry Potter fan: I found the movies entertaining enough.

Fast and Furious 6 (2013)
It isn't about Vin Diesel's sex life: he's fast, and she's furious, it's about cars... just like the first 5.

Fat Head (2009)
Tom Naughton redid Morgan Spurlock's Super Size me: only this one was better, and showed the opposite.

Fauci (2021)
A fictionalized hagiography of Saint Fauci, with all the flaws whitewashed and any accomplishments exaggerated.

Film Critics
To the left, everything is viewed through a political lens. Their bias emanates like 1,000 suns.

Flight (2012)
Like Leaving Las Vegas without the happy ending. I can't believe it got 77/75% good reviews? Not a fan.

Ford v Ferrari (2019)
Any racing enthusiast knows the story, I didn't. The story made up for race scenes that didn't overwhelm me.

The Foreigner (2017)
If a Chinese Production company, watched too much Jack Bauer (24) and too many American Revenge films,

Gemini Man (2019)
Will Smith films are hit and miss, and this movie was derivative, but pretty good.

Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer (2018)
The entire lefist establishment tried to crush this film because of the inconvenient truths.

Gran Torino (2009)
(Clint Eastwood) confronts a troubled Hmong teen attempting to steal his prized Gran Torino. Slow but touching and worthwhile.

The Grandmaster (2013)
Not bad for a subtitled film. The ride on my new electric bike was more interesting than the movie.

Green Lantern (2011)
OK. Completely predictable, simple plot, nothing too racy. But nice effects, and entertaining. Great for kids/teens.

The Green Room (2016)
An old style non-slasher horror film... and one of the best I've seen in decades.

Hanna (2011)
Saw it. Meh. I was expecting something between kick-ass and born identity. This was a lot slower and nothing vaguely related to a surprise.

Hillary's America (2016)
The subhead "the Secret History of the Democratic Party" is the more apt description of the film.

The Hobbit
I won't say I hated these films... but I'll try to avoid anything every again by Peter Jackson.

House of the Dragon
Game of Thrones Prequel. Dark filming, a weak plot, annoying characters, feels woke and a bit boring.

How To Train Your Dragon (trilogy)
Animated viking/dragon saga that I would recommend to people who like animated kid/adult friendly movies.

The Hunt
I went to the movies and saw a slasher film and was surprised it came out of Hollywood. The deplorables were the good guys.

In Time (2012)
Better than expected. If you go in expecting a bad Timberlake film, and then you'll be pleasantly surprised when you get a mediocre one.

Inside Out (2015)
Not their best or worst, but entertaining with ways to talk to kids about their emotional split-personalities.

Into the Woods (2014)
Like a bad Fairy-Tale Mama Mia (better singers, worse music). Too dark for kids, too boring for adults.

Iron Man 3 (2013)
Saw it. Liked it. Thought it was better than any other Ironman, and gave more backstory. 3D was done well, as were the visuals.

Jason Bourne (2016)
Despite Matt Damon being a douche, this one is better than the rest of the series (other than the first).

Jobs (2013)
Hollywood has this attitude that fiction is more interesting than real life.

John Wick's
As someone with combat shooting and martial arts training, the first movies gun-fu scenes were the best I've ever seen.

Joker (2019)
The Darkest fo the DC comic movies Super-Villain films.

Laal Singh Chaddha
“Laal Singh Chaddha” is the Indian remake of Forest Gump. Same beautiful story (with Indian twists). Wonderful.

Law Abiding Citizen (2013)
This got 26/75 on Rotten Tomatoes. I agreed with the viewers more than the reviewers on this one.

The Lego Movie (2014)
Perhaps my expectations were too high, I was expecting something on the lines of Shrek or Lion King. I wasn't a fan.

Life of Pi (2012)
One long, slow movie -- but probably one of the best and most touching movies of the year for me.

London has Fallen (2016)
We went and saw the London has fallen. The sequel to Die Hard in the WhiteHouse, is Die Hard on the run.

The Lone Survivor (2014)
Really good for a Hollywood war movie. Still tarted up in a few spots, but at least warriors weren't demonized.

Man of Steel (2013)
You can't trust Reviewers. They gave this a 56%, and gave Star Trek an 87%? (82/92 by viewers). Star Trek: into Darkness (e.g. Wrath of Kahn) was derivative and it didn't have to be.

Matrix Resurrection (2021)
A sequel to the Matrix (the original woke film). Take the red pill to see the world, and become a demi-God.

Midway (2019)
Hollywooded remake of the 1942 Battle of Midway during World War II. Not perfect history, but perfectly watchable.

Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011)
Reviewers liked it more than viewers, which is unusual for action films, where it's usually the other way around.

Mission Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015)
My wife is a fan, so I saw it. It was never my favorite franchise: too much over the top action sort of bores me.

The Mountain Between Us (2017)
It was free trial of 4K, and it was overpriced. A rom-com survival film that had no rom or com.

Mummy (2017)
The Mummy got lousy ratings at 16/34 (Reviewers/Viewers) on Rotten Tomatoes. While not great, but it wasn't THAT bad.

The Muppets
Once fun, now preachy little douchebag sockpuppets for activist leftism.

My Son Hunter (2022)
Nothing makes the left outraged like uncomfortable truths. This is more honest

No Time To Die (2021)
The best of the reboot James Bonds. If you like the reboot, possibly the best ever.

Ocean's 8 (2018)
I'm not a fan of Ocean's series (or caper-heists), too much artificial complexity.

Olympus has Fallen (2013)
We watched Olympus has fallen in prep for the sequel in theaters. Die Hard in the WhiteHouse.

Once upon a time in Hollywood (2019)
Not fans of actors or director, but with low enough expectations it was watchable. \

Rambo: Last Blood (2019)
The fifth installment in the Rambo franchise was predictable revenge-porn against the Mexican Cartel who kidnap Rambo's niece.

Redstate (2011)
My wife rented Redstate because it was a Kevin Smith movie and she thought it might be funny. Wow. Not funny.

Richard Jewell (2019)
Richard Jewell was slandered/libeled by the media for discovering pipe bombs and saving lives at the 1996 Olympics.

SuperNature (2022)
Comedy Special by Ricky Gervais was pretty funny. Reviewers hated it. Viewers loved it.

Rise of Planet of the Apes (2011)
Not bad. Predictable but entertaining. Allegory for SF being taken over by homeless and progresssives.
