The Devil All The Time
7/10. I enjoyed this ride of 'THE DEVIL ALL THE TIME' but didn't love it, and cant settle my mind on on things. One of the problems i had with it is the pacing, I felt like one time it wanted to be a thriller and the next a mystery. But then I started to like it, because of how it matches with the individual story lines that meet together in the film. What I am trying to say is that, the pacing felt so jarring in one moment, and the next I kinda liked it?. I really don't know how to feel about this. I was sooo ready to call this trash but ended up liking it.... till the 1 hour mark where everything just kind of stops, I didn't really feel anything but boredom, this easily could be explained by my horrible attention span but, u felt like almost half of the move was just unneeded. I feel like this is a movie that you have to go into with a massive grain of salt and respect. The performances from Tom Holland and Robert Pattinson were really good, and are what hold this thing together. A little bit of the score was pretty interesting too. Other than that i just felt like it was a fun, okay movie a. I was about to give this a 4.5 btw.

The Truman Show
How can you not love this. It's just amazing. I loved the general concept of this film, and I am happy i went it into this with no prayer knowledge other than " people love it". This really is a film the you will love more going in blind. The way our main character (Truman) explorers and discovers the truth of this world was just so satisfying to watch and, how his relationships and knowledge gets tested as he explores this world. Jim Carrey delivers a brilliantly acted thrilling, lively, and dramatic performance as Truman. The music snowballs into an almost action movie sound giving more tension in the third act which brings everything together wonderfully. I mean how can you give this anything lower than 3.5 stars.

Skyfall
SKYFALL has to be one of the best action movies I've watched. I felt like this was more well rounded that CASINO ROYAL and was overall a better movie that casino royal. The acting and direction looked great, and script was just brilliant. I love how Bond's relationship with M get's tested here. This movie continues the globetrotting aspect and dose is wonderfully. The Shanghai sequence was just a feast for the eyes, the cinematography was just top notch. I also liked the addition of characters like Q, who add more wit to the story. Overall a brilliant action film.

Extraction
Great fun action movie with a human heart. Extraction. I didn't really have many expectations for this film, but damm it was good. The Cinematography and color of this film is yellow dark and moody. The location of India is s breath of fresh air as it's a location I have barely ever seen an action hollywood movie fully taking place in India. The setting is vibrant yet dark. Full of expression , and unique qualities. The acting here is really good with obviously Chris Hemsworth as the main doing a pretty good job with this role, bringing wit, brains, and strength to the character. Rudhraksh Jaiswal also dose a pretty good job mainly at the human parts of things with emotion. Other than that I just felt like he was just there for most of the first act and not really going anything. But really fun experience overall.

I know I just got around to seeing this but (.sigh.) What can I say about this that hasn't been said yet...nothing. This movie is just rad especially the ending, God! those last 30 to 20 mins. Fincher crafted a movie that challenges the viewers view of the world in the movie and our world. The seven deadly sins thing that the movie used was just so creative and interesting. The first act/ first 20-40 didn't have much flavor but that ending is just gold! The score gives a weird uneasy feeling. Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman are great in this and so is the movies antagonist played by kevin spacey. While one element of the ending was predictable for me everything els after that wasn't. This is just an amazing movie i mean come on!

Weathering With You
The was just great, the stunning animation, great voice acting, and interesting concept/plot. The way Makato Shinkai approaches romance is just so interesting. The turn that these characters take were just amazing to see. While the world building legendary mystical stuff predictable for me, the way they added on to that wasn't. Overall just another great film from Makoto Shinkai.

My eyes haven't been glued to the screen when it comes to an animated movie lately. But this is just amazing. It has such a loveable, and gorgeous art style that just pops out of the screen. The characters are just adorable, and the movie has a really interesting world, and plot. Another wonderful film from Ghibli.

Insomnia
Really good direction, and acting from Robin Williams, and Al Pacino. I liked how they crafted this psychological thriller, with flash backs, and effects that point to our main characters experience. Overall this is a good movie.

Project Power
A fun and entertaining movie, but as everyone is saying, it could have been better, it has a really cool and interesting concept, but the execution of that concept wasn't the best. But a interesting and entertaining movie nonetheless.
