- DirectorSteve McQueenStarsChiwetel EjioforMichael Kenneth WilliamsMichael FassbenderIn the antebellum United States, Solomon Northup, a free Black man from upstate New York, is abducted and sold into slavery.9/10
This is truly a powerful and amazing movie. The acting, from the leading character to the supporting ones (Fassbender, Paulson, Woodard, Nyong'o, Cumberbatch, Dano, Giamatti) is nothing less than perfect. - DirectorDenis VilleneuveStarsHugh JackmanJake GyllenhaalViola DavisWhen Keller Dover's daughter and her friend go missing, he takes matters into his own hands as the police pursue multiple leads and the pressure mounts.8/10

The story is not that interesting, but the cast is amazing, especially Jennifer Lawrence who steals the movie. - DirectorJordan Vogt-RobertsStarsNick RobinsonGabriel BassoMoises AriasThree teenage friends, in the ultimate act of independence, decide to spend their summer building a house in the woods and living off the land.8/10

Despite having some kind of a weak third act, it's most likely the best Disney animated film in a long time. Plus, 'Let It Go' is very catchy. - DirectorJohn WellsStarsMeryl StreepDermot MulroneyJulia RobertsA look at the lives of the strong-willed women of the Weston family, whose paths have diverged until a family crisis brings them back to the Oklahoma house they grew up in, and to the dysfunctional woman who raised them.7/10
The guilty pleasure of a soap opera and a bunch of really amazing performances. - DirectorSidney LumetStarsAl PacinoJohn CazalePenelope AllenThree amateur bank robbers plan to hold up a bank. A nice simple robbery: Walk in, take the money, and run. Unfortunately, the supposedly uncomplicated heist suddenly becomes a bizarre nightmare as everything that could go wrong does.8/10
Sidney Lumet had the unique gift of making films that don't age. - DirectorToby WilkinsStarsShea WhighamJill WagnerPaulo CostanzoTrapped in an isolated gas station by a voracious Splinter parasite that transforms its still-living victims into deadly hosts, a young couple and an escaped convict must find a way to work together to survive this primal terror.7/10
Creepy horror flick with nice story and effects. The shaky camera was annoying. - DirectorPeter LepeniotisStarsWill ArnettBrendan FraserLiam NeesonAn incorrigibly self-serving exiled squirrel finds himself helping his former park brethren survive by raiding a nut store, a location that also happens to be a front for a human gang's bank robbery.4/10
Annoying and unfunny. - DirectorPete TravisStarsKarl UrbanOlivia ThirlbyLena HeadeyIn a violent, futuristic city where the police have the authority to act as judge, jury and executioner, a cop teams with a trainee to take down a gang that deals the reality-altering drug, SLO-MO.7/10
Fun action movie. The two leads are awful, but Lena Headey is absolutely awesome. - DirectorRob ReinerStarsTom CruiseJack NicholsonDemi MooreMilitary lawyer Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee defends Marines accused of murder. They contend they were acting under orders.7/10
The script doesn't flow as well as other Sorkin's scripts, but Jack Nicholson is stellar. - DirectorJames L. BrooksStarsWilliam HurtAlbert BrooksHolly HunterTake two rival television reporters: one handsome, one talented, both male. Add one producer, female. Mix well, and watch the sparks fly.7/10
Despite a somewhat flat third act, I enjoyed this movie. Holly Hunter steals the show. - DirectorWill GluckStarsEmma StoneAmanda BynesPenn BadgleyWhen Olive lies to her best friend about losing her virginity to one of the college boys, a girl overhears their conversation. Soon, her story spreads across the entire school like wildfire.8/10
One of the funniest teen comedies of the last years. Emma Stone is a treasure. - DirectorRichard LinklaterStarsEthan HawkeRobert Sean LeonardUma ThurmanThree old high school friends meet in a Michigan motel room to dissect painful memories from their past.7/10
A quite unique movie with a very solid plot and interesting characters, but I was a little at times baffled by the camera work, it felt amateurish rather than voyeuristic. - DirectorAlan TaylorStarsChris HemsworthNatalie PortmanTom HiddlestonWhen the Dark Elves attempt to plunge the universe into darkness, Thor must embark on a perilous and personal journey that will reunite him with doctor Jane Foster.7/10
Less sophisticated than the first one, but still fun and enjoyable. - DirectorRenny HarlinStarsKellan LutzGaia WeissScott AdkinsThe origin story of the mythical Greek hero. Betrayed by his stepfather, the King, and exiled and sold into slavery because of a forbidden love, Hercules must use his formidable powers to fight his way back to his rightful kingdom.4/10
This movie should be retitled The Legend of A-Guy-Who-Is-Everyone-But-Hercules. And, by the way, is there a overused cliche it doesn't try to exploit? Also, enough with the *beep* slow motion fight scenes. - DirectorJerome SableStarsMinnie DriverMeat LoafAllie MacDonaldA snobby musical theater camp is terrorized by a blood-thirsty killer who hates musical theater.6/10
It became a little bit of a mess in the last 30 minutes, but overall I enjoyed it. A silent killer could have been scarier, tho. - DirectorJim JarmuschStarsTilda SwintonTom HiddlestonMia WasikowskaA depressed musician reunites with his lover. However, their romance, which has already endured several centuries, is disrupted by the arrival of her uncontrollable younger sister.7/10
Very slow paced, with a thin plot, but well directed and beautifully shot. Swinton and Hiddleston are perfect as vampires, and the score is cool. - DirectorMatt Bettinelli-OlpinTyler GillettStarsAllison MillerZach GilfordSam AndersonAfter a mysterious, lost night on their honeymoon, a newlywed couple finds themselves dealing with an earlier-than-planned pregnancy.4/10
Jesus, what a dumb movie. - DirectorValveStarsBenedict LimClinton LoomisDanil IshutinFollow three professional video game players as they overcome personal adversity, family pressures, and the realities of life to compete in a $1,000,000 tournament that could change their lives forever.9/10
This is a great story of passion for something that is considered by most as a waste of time, if not even pathetic. I've never been so excited while watching someone else play a game. - DirectorLuca MinieroStarsPaola CortellesiRocco PapaleoLuca ArgenteroCristina lives a peaceful life until her older brother Ciro, who has to attend a trial, asks to spend house arrests at Cristina's home.4/10
I wonder if this movie was written by a monkey... - DirectorJames WanStarsPatrick WilsonVera FarmigaRon LivingstonParanormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren work to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in their farmhouse.8/10
James Wan's movies are always scary, even when they're not that good. And this is definitely one of the good ones. - DirectorTom GormicanStarsZac EfronMichael B. JordanMiles TellerThree best friends find themselves where we've all been - at that confusing moment in every dating relationship when you have to decide "So...where is this going?"5/10
Zac Efron's character is too much of an insufferable *beep* and the other two guys come out just plain stupid, and yet Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan are talented actors. But the writing is really bad.
