The last movie I watched was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I loved how the movie showed how important family was. The character Charlie was very thankful for his life and his family despite their domestic circumstances. Charlie also teaches Willy Wonka that family is important.
I give the movie an 8 out of 10.

Netflix just put "The Accountant" on streaming. I guess it is a few years old, but I thought it was excellent. Ben Affleck has worked through high functioning autism to become a bit of a vigilante. Very well done and I believe I read they are woking up an Accountant 2 for 2025. Looking forward to it.

I just watched Interstellar the other night and rate it a 9/10! I would totally would recommend this movie to everyone I meet. It was suspenseful, emotional, and inspiring. It is a 2h+ movie which I struggle with sitting still through, but I watched this one in one sitting without getting bored once :)

I assume this is the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory then?! I haven't seen the Willy Wonka new movie. I like Timothy Chalumet, but I saw a preview and I'm just not sure this one is for me.

Yes I was referring to the original Charlie and the chocolate factory with Johnny Depp portraying Willy Wonka and Freddie Highmore playing Charlie Bucket.

The last movie I watched was Gotti. It about a Mafia boss. Oftentimes I wonder how those guys walked almost scot-free killing their opponents.

Divergent, I would give a 5 star, having a female leader that fights for what she wants and what is right.

I actually do like Salt better than Inception seeing as I am an Angelina Jolie fan and not a big Leonardo DiCaprio fan, but that didn't really have much to do with it... Haha.
I just love the hands-on action type thing, a lot. And you could see where Inception was going, not so much Salt.

The last movie I saw was Korean Movie titled Rampant

I love zombie movies and this is definitely one of my top favorites. It has all the scare and excitment you need without all the constant jump. Everything is quite predictable, which is absolutely refreshing to not have to overthink things. Action packed and comical at times, it is definitely worth the watch. For those of you who dislike subtitles, please give it a shot. The subtitles are short and to the point. It wont leave you missing out on any part of this zombie filled adventure.

Last movie I saw was "The Wheel of Time". An action/sci-fi movie full of adventures. I also recently found out that the movie is based on a book, wow! Full of adventure, suspense, action and a bit of love and romance. For me, "The Wheel of Time" is a 'must watch' movie for fans of both sci-fi and adventure, without leaving out the exciting actions in the movie.

I don’t know the movie, but the Amazon series of the same name is mediocre, IMHO.

The last movie i saw was "Monkey Man". It is directed by Dev Patel. The main actor is Dev Patel. The stuntman too is Dev Patel. The hype for this movie is BIG and i understand. Dev Patel has done so much with so little. After reading and listening on the internet about how there was lack of equipment and cameras so they had to shoot on an Iphone and resort to breaking the same table again and again for multiple stunts... I respect the guys dedication and hard work. But tbh i just didn't like the movie that much. I felt that the storyline and dialogues were too cliche and unsubtle. One thing that stood out for me the most was the Camerawork. The way the camera was placed and moved in some scenes was fantastic. If only the story and script were little bit more refined, i would have loved the movie... :geek2:

I rewatched Cloud Atlas (last time I watched it like 8 years ago) and I was quite disappointed, because I remembered it to be much better. However, I am very tempted to read the book now.

The last movie I saw was "Dune," and I'd rate it 4 out of 5 stars. It's a visually stunning adaptation of Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi novel, with impressive world-building and a strong cast. However, the pacing felt a bit slow at times, which might not appeal to everyone.
