Just last night my brothers and I rewatched "Collateral" for the third time. Tom Cruise is so different in that role, especially after seeing him as Ethan Hunt for so long, it's strange seeing him be the bad guy. Mark Ruffalo never looked cooler, and Michael Mann is a wonderful Director as always. Plus, their use of the Jason Bourne soundtrack in the club scene was super cool. I recently found out that Michael Mann goes to great lengths to that the characters in his films come off as realistic. In Heat, the actors were trained by pros when it came to using their weapons, etc. I thoroughly enjoy anything Michel Mann, from Miami Vice to Heat, to Collateral. 8-)

The last movie I saw is Predestination. That movie messed my brain up. I could not imagine the things I was seeing. Do not watch that movie if you value your sanity. Seriously.

The last movie I saw was Darlings starring Alia Bhatt and Vijay Varma. It's a dark humor/drama available on Netflix. It's mainly about the protagonist, Badru, holding on to the last strings of her relationship with her abusive alcoholic husband, hoping that he would be a better husband if he stopped drinking. Badru and her mom decide to seek revenge when things don't get better.

I would give it a rating of 3.5/5 stars.

The last movie I saw was "Where The Crawdads Sing." This movie is based on the top-selling book I read. Of course, the book was way better because you can hear their thoughts, whereas in a movie you don't have that privilege. I encourage you to go see it on the wide screen at the theaters.

My hubby and I just watched The Man from Toronto. I give it a 4 out of 5. It was good, funny and action packed but it felt pretty similar to other actions movies Kevin Hart has been in. I enjoyed it. I laughed a ton. I did have to cover my face a few times. The finale seemed to come quickly and the ending came a little fast too. But it was a great date night movie!

The movie is never as good as a book. The movie I hoped to go see next is Where The Crawdads Sing. I read that book a few months ago and loved it.
I saw it recently, I thought it was good but not excellent. I liked the actors, Logan Marshall-Green acted very well.

I'm not a fan of Marvel movies, but I've heard it's an entertaining movie. I'll give it a try for sure. I think I should watch Spiderman first.

I want to see it!, I'm a big fan of Sandra Bullock's movies, she is very funny. I also think Daniel Radcliffe appears.

The Lost City of D is underrated. While it has a few things to nitpick, the cast and awesome concept make it a better than average comedy for me. Having a movie about a writer isn't the rarest thing. But a writer and her book cover model? I can't think of another movie like that.

I have seen the new Top Gun Maverick twice, so for me, it was a 10. I might just go see it again before it's gone. That probably sounds a little crazy and if you knew me it would sound even more so. I HATE watching movies more than once. I have a great memory when it comes to film and it's not enjoyable, usually, to see it a second time. However, this movie is about more than just what is on the screen. To me, the movie may very well be the last of its kind. With all the hate towards our government and military and just all the discontent circling in the US this kind of movie might just not be created anymore. This movie is a pro-American movie, a pro-military movie, this movie will inspire children into aviation. The connection with the original movie is also a connection to a different time in our history. Before cell phones, before it was cool to be offended back when I heard the song "Proud to be an American" as a child and it brought tears to my eyes because I loved this land that I was born into and all its people: colorful, unique, and amazing we all were. This movie reminds me that children do not have the same pride and that they will never know the same feeling of happiness and pride I did as a child. I suppose that the movie brings a sense of nostalgia to me as well as longing and sadness that my life is about half over and that it will never be the same.

ME TIME and unfortunately I did not enjoy it. Didn't even finished it. The trailer seemed like an easy and enjoyable movie but it was too cliché.

Nate and Gigi. I'd give it 9/10. It's a powerful movie and you learn some things. Great cast, including the cute monkey.
