Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse 9/10 I bought the movie today after having watched Into the Spiderverse a few weeks ago. I've seen visual development art from these movies for the last few years, but never had context for how the art related to the story. I've watched trailers of the movies...

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 9/10 Overall a wonderful film. It was extremely well written and a nice wrap to James Gunn's trilogy. Hands down the best movie I've seen this year, and my favorite Marvel film since Spiderman No Way Home. I've seen reviews where people have been saying it's the...

Top Gun: Maverick - 9/10 I loved it! The first film is such a classic, so it's hard to imagine a sequel after all this time even working. It does work, it's a worthy sequel that expands on Maverick's character in an interesting way. The jet scenes were very intense, and the actual mission had...

Catch Me if You Can - 7/10 Really enjoyed the film, Leonardo Decaprio, Tom Hanks, and Christopher Walken do a fantastic job. Glad the film ends on high note as well, because even though Decaprio's character ends up in a life of conning, he doesn't really have bad intentions, he just wants his...

Well yeah the soundtrack is good I forgot to mention that. And like I said, I'm not saying she should just forgive humans on the spot. It's just a weird conclusion to me given the overall message of the film. Maybe in a few months I'll rewatch it and it'll hit different, idk.

Princess Mononoke: 7.5/10 I love the aesthetics of the film, the cinematagraphy and action was great too. The message of the film is a good one, but in some way I feel like the story isn't quite fully developed. Or like, some narrative choices are made that don't feel natural to me. The prime...

Whisper of the Heart: 8/10 I really loved this Ghibli film, it has a great message and its really relatable in ways for me, being a writer with a story I want to tell and all. The message hit so well I immedietly started working on my story idea again, I got to polish the gem I have afterall!

Only Yesterday 9/10 A recommendation to my by @Pen after I told him I was going to start watching the Studio Ghibli films. It just resonated with me. It touches on being nostalgic of the past, as well as its regrets, and how those memories can come into focus so vividly, as if it was only...

Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness - 9/10 Really really liked everything about this movie. Being a horror fan, I loved its vibes so much and did not expect it to have these vibes going in. It's not too scary, but it could qualify being a slasher film, honestly. It has the best executed...

Jungle Cruise 7/10 It had some cool special effects, nice action sequences, and the plot was ok. I definitely felt like it's one of those films to watch once, and it's good that first time, but since it doesn't blow away in any regard it won't be rewatched often or at all.

Spiderman No Way Home 9/10 Really enjoyed it a lot. It was very emotional in a way the other films in this trilogy have never quite struck.

Eternals 7/10 Maybe I'm just not as invested in Marvelas I used tp be after Endgame, but something about this one didn't feel the same to me. The writing was solid in terms of the characters and it had some good twists, I can recognize that, but I have a few plot issues from a broader perspective.

The House With a Clock in Its Walls - 4/10 It's acceptable if you don't expect much, I would not recommend anyone to watch it though. Jack Black's performance is the highlight of the film, but even he couldn't save this lackluster movie. Gladiator - 8/10 At this point it's a classic, great...

Godzilla vs Kong - 7/10 The main draw is the two titans finally going at it, and it was enjoyable. The plot isn't that great and I agree with these films they need to cut out the human scenes and just let us get the monster action.

Super Mario Bros. (1993) I unironically enjoyed it. It's cheesy but it knows it and embraces it, watching it with a few other ZD Writers tonight was a blast! The special effects are actually really good at points, for the time, and still hold up pretty well. The plot isn't half bad either, and...

The Scout - 6/10 It's an alright comedy/drama about baseball, I think whether someone likes it really depends on if they like Baseball. Absolute Power - 7/10 A decent suspensful political-thriller, Clint Eastwood and the whole cast's performances are really the draw to this movie.

Crocodile Dundee - 7/10 It's an ok romantic comedy with some brief sections of action.

9 - 7/10: It was an interesting animated film with a pretty great cast of voice actors. The plot progression is a little messy, by time the movie is halfway completed the characters reason out that they need go back to "where it all began", but end up doing a bunch of things that contradict this...

The Book of Eli - 8/10: A pretty good action-packed film, and the ending has a nice twist. Maleficient 2 - 2/10: It lacked the charm of the first, not only that, but the acting felt really stiff at moments. Overall the plot is pointless - I feel like we didn't need this movie, it doesn't expand...

Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters - 6/10 I feel like I'm being very generous too. I think a main criticism after the first film was that the movie didn't follow the book verbatim. This film corrects this, but it doesn't work out well, especially because despite staying true to the source...

Finally got to see it!!! Godzilla: King of the Monsters - 9/10 I loved it! The previous Zilla film was great, but this one has it beat by miles. The inclusion of all the other monsters was cool, and watching the main ones duking it out was awesome! Cannot wait until we get Godzilla vs Kong...

Space Jam 7/10 A decently fun film full of nostalgia for me.

The Dirty Dozen 9/10 Before Rogue One, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Expendables, even Predator there was The Dirty Dozen. This film is a classic, and if you haven't seen it, watch it this instant!

The Day After Tomorrow - 7/10 Overall it's a good film with a good cast - Dennis Quaid is a great actor, and so is Jake Gyllenhaal. The plot is decent, but it is plagued with some bad writing in terms of scenarios in my opinion (but this a typical trend for most films of a similar theme, to be...

Rocky II - 10/10 Probably my favorite Rocky film. It's the rematch with Apollo Creed - and they both mean business in an edge of your seat toe-to-toe brawl.

Avengers Endgame: 9/10 Just bought it yesterday and watched it twice. After the excitment from seeing it at the theater months ago is worn off, I think it still holds up. It's a fantastic film all around. I've been seeing people who liked it initially starting to turn on it a bit, and saying...

Spiderman (2002) 8/10 I loved this movie as a kid and I feel like it still holds up compared to the new Spideman films. The new film strays from the comics a lot, if you're looking for something a bit more in line with the original comic material, this movie is for you. Everything isn't the...

The Martian - 7/10 It's more of a realistic approach to a movie set in space, so it isn't a typical Sci-Fi film. But it has some drama, and I liked the movie.

The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies - 7/10 Not my favorite film out the Hobbit Trilogy, and honestly I liked the Lord of the Rings Trilogy better than the Hobbit. It's a decent action/adventure film though. Action from the get go, it starts where the previous film left off. But as with the...

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens 8.5/10

Fight Club Rating: 8/10 I actually really liked it. It took me forever to actually watch it despite people telling me it was worth seeing. I'm glad I finally watched it. The plot twist of the movie I didn't see coming, but overall I really liked it.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines Rating: 6/10 Now I remember why I made myself forget this movie. I mean it wasn't bad but I didn't like it as much as the first and second movie. So the date is like 2004, Skynet was supposed to go up in 1997, but didn't. John Conner is living off the grid...

Terminator 2: Judgement Day Rating: 8/10 Overall I actually liked the first and this Terminator movie about even. The movies afterward I can't even remember watching but I'm currently catching up, refreashing my memory on them. This one in particular has a good plot, but in the end I have...

John Carpenter's The Thing Rating: 8/10 It is a really good thriller/suspense movie. It was made before CG but it's special effects I believe are some of the best from pre-CG era movies. If it isn't considered a classic now, it should.

300: Rise of an Empire If I had to rate it I'd give it a 3/10. Basically if you were wanting some sort of plot progression this movie doesn't really give it and that is what bothered me. It starts out after the 300 spartans died and the spartan queen has a bunch of naval ships to avenge the...
