An old Vincent Price flick, House On Haunted Hill. A cheezy thing, but Vincent Price gives his usual great performance as a man planning to murder his wife and her lover. Fun movie also with the great character actor Elijah Cook as a paranoid alcoholic. A real classic this one.

The last movie I watched was Monty Python's Life of Brian. I give it 4 out of 4 stars. Not only is it hilarious but it's social commentary is still relevant today. It is incredible that a movie 40 years old can stay relevant in a completely different time.

The last movie I saw was "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" and I was shook. I am a hardcore Harry Potter fan, but I didn't know this history. The History of the Dumbledore family, Hogwarts and old-time magic literally was reopened and new to me. The movie was a great ride and a great film. I gave it 5 out of 5 and bought it. I really enjoyed it and I'm jonesing for the next installment in the series. It's been great to watch from the beginning and then the Harry Potter films.
Definitely a MUST WATCH!

The last movie I watched was a rewatch of The Addams Family. I would give that movie all the stars possible. I know it isn't the best movie, but it always leaves me in a good mood.

Ive also seen movies that are considered garbage but can leave you in a good and happy mood so what does it matter if they are turkeys?

I havent seen any movies lately but I watched a few episodes of Men Into Space, a 1950's sci-fi series about man's first attempts to conquer space. It was a fairly realistic and well done series about the problems and challenges people had and will have in going into space. It was only on for one season, its too bad it didnt last longer it was a very good show.

The last film I watched was Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire, I watched it with my boyfriend as it is my favorite Disney fil because of the art style and strong female characters. So I would rate it 3 out of 4, however my boyfriend doesn't have my nostalgia for it, he felt it lacked good pacing and a clear plotline, and thus didn't like it.

Captain Marvel! I went in without reading any reviews so there were a few surprises (I didn’t know where it fit into the MCU timeline), and it was better than I expected :) A little disappointed that our local theater wasn’t showing it on the IMAX screen but still definitely one to see in the theaters on the big screen.

Yesterday I watched Aquaman and I was so disappointed. I was waiting for this Movie for a while and when I finally saw it it was just sad. From the beginning, there were stupid dialogs. The big undersea sequences looked cheap. The acting of Jason Momoa was really bad. Even Amber Heard was better and I don't like her. So this was again, a big Hollywood push up in the media movie, not worth the money or time watching :cry2:

Two nights ago, I was asked to the movies by some new friends (who happen to be extremely handsome by the way). Without hesitation or asking what movie, I said yes. I ended up in the theater for the new super hero movie Shazam. I have never been into comic books but have loved most Marvel movies I have seen as an adult. Although most of the movie felt childish and slightly predictable, it was extremely entertaining and hilarious. The jokes were spot on for what was needed and there was the perfect amount of action and character development. If you would like to see a lighthearted movie with a warm "family first" theme intertwined, I would highly recommend watching the movie. However, I do not read comic books and the movie could be completely off of expectations from the comics.

I would give Shazam a 7 out of 10 rating, for a lighthearted and comedic experience.

I just watched "Vice". It was incredible. This was one of those movies that I caught a glimpse of the trailer once and didn't process it completely. Later realizing what all it entailed, I tried to relate the need to see the film to my wife. An obviously poor attempt was made, as she looked at me in the same way she does when I explain one of my hobbies she cares nothing about.

The acting was on point, the nostalgia of the historical events was amusing, the insight into a life of a man I knew nothing about was astonishing. Even with the knowledge that Hollywood sensationalized much of it, or so I assume, it was still great.

I did need a bit of a pallet cleanser after the movie, so watched a bit of Brooklyn 99 to lighten the mood. Despite the film having some humor and satire, it definitely made me evaluate life.

Overall, I would put it at an 8.5 out of 10
