Creed- It was pretty good. I give props to Stalone for allowing someone else to finally be the main character in the Rocky universe. I give it 7.3
Bridge of Spies- Very good spy thriller. It relies on suspense more than action. Tom Hanks can do no wrong. 7.8
The Fifth Wave- Teenage science fiction. Better than I expected when it started but then it dropped off quickly. 5.9
Central Intelligence- It had some funny parts but I didn't like the Rock in this quite as much as I have in his other stuff. 6.7
The Legend of Tarzan- Pretty decent Tarzan adaptation but I only give it 6.8
Suicide Squad- Entertaining but there were several things I didn't like about it. 3 or 4 characters carried the show, the rest were just filler. 6.5
Ben Hur- The original is one of my favorite movies and one of the greatest movies of all time so I was expecting a crapfest with this remake. It took a bit of a different direction with many artistic liberties, but it was much better than I thought it would be. I'm shocked that I'm giving it 6.6 stars.
Thanks to VidAngel I have caught up on a bunch of rated R movies I had not seen before. Some of these movies are current but many came out years ago.
10 Cloverfield Lane- Suspenseful. John Goodman had a great performance. It was better before the aliens appeared. 7.4
The Revenant- Very intense and grizzly. 7.8
Gran Torino- I love Clint Eastwood's work but I was expecting more from all the hype I had heard over the years but it was still very good. 7.8
The Kingdom- I really liked this suspenseful war movie about the middle east and terrorism. I was captivated the whole time. 8.0 stars.
127 Hours- I had heard about the true story this was based on so I was looking forward to it. Good acting by James Franco but it was kind of hard to watch. 7.4
The Butterfly Effect- I like most movies involving time travel and do overs. It's not a pick me up movie but had some good stuff in it. 7.9
District 9- Kind of depressing science fiction especially for someone who thought we were mean to E.T. back in the 80's. 7.6
London Has Fallen- Totally fake action movie but still entertaining. 6.4
Safe House- Is Denzel Washington a good guy or bad guy? 7.0
Looper- Again I have to give time travel extra points. It stretches your mind 7.7
John Wick- Extremely violent but pretty well done. 7.2
28 Days Later- I got into this Zombie movie 7.8
Escape Plan- I fell asleep watching it 6.1
13 Hours: The Soldiers of Benghazi- Pretty Intense. It was good to see Jim and Roy from The Office Reunited. 7.6 stars.
