what about "the usual suspects"?
Before Sunrise (1995) & Before Sunset (2004)
Over the past three days i watched two great movies that i had just heard about starring Ethan Hawke & Julie Delpy. Very good acting, great dialogue, great script & direction, great chemistry between the two main actors & great story. These two wonderful movies are now part of a trilogy along with Before Midnight (2013) which i plan on watching this coming weekend. Over the past few years i realized that romantic comedies have become my favorite genre of movies. Maybe it was always like this way since ‘When Harry Met Sally’ and ‘You’ve Got Mail’ remain among my all-time favorites on a long list of movies. Over the past year I’ve discovered two great classics in Notting Hill (1999) and The Holliday (2006). I’ve probably watched these movies nearly a dozen times in one year alone. Three days ago i watched the 2006 movie classic again!
Before Sunrise is about two young tourists meeting on a train in Europe who end up spending the night together & falling in love in Vienna, promising to meet again in Vienna in six months. It’s really a wonderful movie. Before Sunset is its sequel where the two brief ex- lovers meet up again in Paris. Hard to believe but the sequel is possibly even better than the first movie! The only negative for me is that i was so disappointed that it wasn’t longer in lenght! I was so disappointed when the movie ended abruptly however the majority of critics described its ending as being brilliant! These two great movies were adored by both critics & movie goers alike & both received likeability numbers in the 90% on most movie review sites.
I can’t wait to watch the third installment!

Saw Project Hail Mary and oh my God...it's excellent, on so many levels. Acting, set design, cinematography, soundtrack, screenplay, special effects - somehow they captured lightning in a bottle with this movie.
Saw it on Imax on Tuesday and still cannot stop thinking of it.
Yes, it's a sci-fi movie but most unexpectedly packs a powerful emotional punch. Already thinking of seeing it a 2nd or 3rd time.
G-rated, no nudity, not a single foul word. So you can bring your kids or even your parents.
Edit: Now PHM is set to outpace Interstellar's box office. Saw it a 2nd time and still as good. Catch it on the big screen while you can.

I saw a new release on Prime which I really enjoyed yesterday called "Crime 101", starring Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, and Halle Berry with Jennifer Jason Leigh and Nick Nolte in small supporting roles. It's a heist movie about a clever jewel thief played by Hemsworth who is being tracked down by an LA police detective played by Ruffalo. Sort of a throwback kind of film. Worth watching I give it a B+
I enjoyed it as well. No real violence, no blood and guts thats seems to be overdone in movies these days. Just a good old style enjoyable movie.

Primate

Horror
“Primate (2025) is a horror film directed by Johannes Roberts about a family's pet chimpanzee, Ben, who contracts rabies and goes on a violent rampage, forcing his owners to fight for survival in their secluded Hawaiian home. Starring Johnny Sequoyah, Troy Kotsur, and Jessica Alexander, the movie is known for its graphic violence, practical effects, and suspenseful, animal-attack-meets-slasher plot, premiering in late 2025 and released in early 2026…”
Yes, yes, YES I liked IT!
I lost track of the body count.

I saw in a movie theater yesterday the film "Normal" with Bob Odenkirk. It is an action film in the tradition of Nobody and Nobody 2, although in this one Odenkirk plays a different character, an "interim Sheriff", after he leaves a permanent Sheriff job for reasons disclosed in the movie. It's a very nontraditional action film in which the lines between the good guys and the bad guys are blurred. I enjoyed it, as I do almost anything Odenkirk is in, except I thought "Nobody 2" was a vastly inferior sequel to "Nobody." Normal was better than Nobody 2. Very high body count.
I also enjoyed "American Fiction" on Prime. A black comedy, literally and figuratively. Starring Jeffrey Wright as a serious, craft-driven black novelist who is respected in the industry, but not commercially successful. He decides, as a joke, to write a book that feeds into crass white stereotypes of the black experience, and it ends up being a smash commercial success, much to his shocked disbelief and tremendous anger. Very funny/satirical.

Recently watched Margin Call.
A film with a stacked cast, Jeremy Irons, Kevin Spacey, Demi Moore, Stanley Tucci, etc and a film that's essentially a boardroom business thriller. Lol
The film's script & dialogue was so good.
I particularly liked the boardroom scene with Jeremy Irons giving a standout speech.

It's very good. The Big Short is a bit better retelling of the 2008 crash IMO but they're both great.
I'm really struggling to see why people like this movie so much. I liked both Chris Hemsworth's and Halle Berry's performances and thought they did really well projecting their character personalities but I thought the writing was a bloody mess. There were so many unresolved issues at the end that it actually bothered me (especially the one with Nolte, which seemed like it should have been a central plot issue) and the logical inconsistencies bugged me too, where some things applied in one case but not the other, without giving spoilers away. It's not that I didn't enjoy the movie, it was an ok watch, but I expected more and was positively shocked to see the love for the move, although a lot of people complained about the unresolved stuff. It was a C- watch once and forget type of movie for me. Maybe it was just me on that particular day but I didn't see much to get excited about.
I recently watched Narc, a gritty cop drama from 2003, directed by Joe Carnahan.
Highly recommended if you like gritty brutal cop dramas. It's a film about Detroit cops investigating the death of an undercover cop who turned junkie and the suspicious circumstances around his death.
Brutal film and a film with powerhouse performances from Ray Liotta & Jason Patric.

A Bronx Tale. Forgot how good old movies can be. Great story telling, limited blood and guts that is so excessive these days for no reason.
Project Hail Mary (2026)
Great scifi movie starring Ryan Gosling which i saw last week & absolutely loved! One of the best scifi movies i’ve seen in a while which i’ll watch again once it starts streaming on Crave or Prime.

Shelter (2026)
Newest Jason Statham movie that i watched yesterday. I love a good Jason Statham movie & this one didn’t disappoint! I loved it! He plays a reclusive former paramilitary soldier living on an island inside a lighthouse who looks over a young girl he recently saved & he needs to reluctantly get back into action when their lives are put in danger by bad people he once worked for. The script kind of remimded me of a script you may see in one of the Equalizer movies which i also absolutely loved! The vilain is played by well-known British actor Bill Nigh. I loved it! 4 out of 5 stars!
