Escape from LA- Not as good as the first but still a really fun movie, especially if you enjoy the Snake character. Some scenes were just so over the top that it was actually funny, like the basketball scene & surfing scene. Not a great movie, but fun, and there's nothing wrong with that.

I've heard this is a pretty bizarre watch.

The girl with all the gifts. 6/10
The concept was original i thought but it was way too fucking slow,and the ending could have been entirely avoided if the little zombie girl just went back and told her normal human companions to just stay fucking put for a moment. I know its based on a book,but that ending seemed rushed to me. The story was cool but i felt it coulda been done better. Her shrieking like a caveman to the dumb zombie kids was laughable.

Anthony Hopkins never makes a bad movie. His performance is always spot-on.

Free Fire (2016) - 6.5/10
A fairly fun movie with a good cast, however I feel like it was right on the border of being a great movie, if the dialogue was a little bit better and story had a few more turns this could have easily been an 8-8.5. Still not a bad way to kill an hour and a half, people who like crime movies with a fair amount of action will definitely get a kick out of it.

Get Out
Seriously it was like an 8/10 for me. Some of the plot was predictable, but it was still a great thriller with intelligent characters who acted in a manner that made sense for their situations. It's directed by Jordan Peele of Key and Peele and he did a really good job. There's a lot of metaphors throughout the movie directly linked to the black experience and slavery, but it wasn't always right on the nose or really anti-white in any way. Highly recommend people give it a watch!

Guardians of the Galaxy vol 2 - 7/10
I saw it during the weekend with the wife. I thought it was all right, it was funny at certain places. Rocket still my favorite character, but I dont know I thought the first one was more entertaining, the Chris Pratt story at moments was kinda dumb, but not entertaining dumb, just dumb

Big Trouble in Little China- I had pretty high hopes coming in and it fell just short of my expectations. I still enjoyed it, just not as much as I thought I would. I love the Kurt Russell & John Carpenter combination. I think Escape from New York is a little better than this one.

Creed - 8.5/10
A little long but I really enjoyed it. Sure it was like Rocky 1 in many ways but I enjoyed it a lot.

Psycho III - 5.5/10 - It's been a long time since I've seen it. I remember never really liking it, especially when compared to the previous two masterpieces, but I watched it this time without having seen the others first and I enjoyed it slightly more. Definitely not a great movie and it doesn't stack up against the first two at all, but it does have several redeeming qualities. Probably the weakest of the whole series but still somewhat enjoyable on its own.

BRIDGE OF SPIES
Alongside BFG, the Steven Spielberg effect mystifies me. Both these movies seem to have done poorly, at least compared to how good they in fact are. I would think Spielberg would be enough to put asses in seats, and with this one he's got a screenplay co-authored by the Coens. Plus Tom Hanks doing his period thing. I think this was Oscar nominated, and it's really good. And I'm not sure if I was trying a bit hard, since I wanted some of that Coen humor, I laughed pretty heartily at some wry jokes. There's a shot of a newspaper with Tom Hanks escorting, I guess Mark Rylance from the courtroom, and it's nighttime in the picture. He's blinded by the flashbulbs, so the picture is his stupid wide-eyed expression. And the fact that consummate professional actor Tom Hanks would take such a bad picture just cracked me up; he's good for that sort of thing (and urinating on camera -- make it a plot point if you want).
There's definitely a lot of standing still. But I can see the Coens writing certain sequences saying to themselves, "Shit. There's a plane in this. Have you ever filmed a plane? No? Have you? If you haven't then I haven't. I know that, stupid. Kiss me on the mouth." A plane crash is nothing to a craftsman like Spielberg. But it's like the only piece of action. So be prepared for that. This is less SAVING PRIVATE RYAN and more AMISTAD. There's a pretty cool low-key foot pursuit at the beginning tho.

Saw for the first time Payback(1999) Director's cut version(didn't even know that two versions exist) 4.5/10
Thank god that Mel Gibson decided to recut it because the theatrical version(8/10) is way better.
In this version the mob outfit boss(who is the principal antagonist) don't even makes an appearance and you only hear his voice on the phone.

This movie gets bashed to the hills and back but I absolutely love it. The atmosphere, characters and the journey throughout. Fair enough people have picked holes in everything from plot holes, how it doesn't sit right within the Alien universe etc,etc,etc but none of that bothers me in the least, and I love the first two Alien movies. The third and beyond not so much.

Sounds like an adult film. Actually a low-budget film. Good performances from Anthony Hopkins and Ray Liotta.
