Based on the woman who helped develop Tinder and Bumble dating sites. Decent movie. Is a redemption story about female empowerment and toxic masculinity..

Rust 2025

Movie was famous before release because a person was killed on set when live ammunition was used in a movie prop gun. I thought movie would have been scrapped. It should have been, Alec Baldwin and everyone, everything in the film is wrong, clumsy, terrible.

Sovereign 2025
This movie was released at a strange, strange time in American history, I am not sure that studio didn't do everyone a favor by not promoting it. Stars Nick Offermen from Parks and Recreation. He also did some recent dramatic work in The Last of US..this movie is over the top scary, current and goes to a place where American History X touched on.. Proceed with caution, especially for American viewers.

8 million budget and so far only $26.8k in box office revenue is a huge flop.

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey 2025
A really great movie in every way. Director knows how to tell a story. The cast is the best in the business. The way this movie is made everything has been thought out. Soundtrack of the film is perfect. It makes you rethink renting a car. I am a bit surprised to see what is in on Kogonada's resume.. Not much.. He also made a movie, Columbus a few years ago..
I feel like the movie will be awarded anything available.

I decided not to include a few turds I took in that were a waste of time.. Couple of decent rom coms...
Splitsville 2025
Has a bunch of quirky situations laughs scattered throughout the movie. Pretty good

The Roses 2025
Has a script mix of some Mr. Mom and chef movies were Olivia Colman is a chef that gets celebrity status. Pretty good

Ballad of a Small Player 2025
In my opinion it's outstanding, Colin Farrell knocked it out of the park. The movie really spends time and money on everything, very detailed and Macau is the backdrop for most of the movie, visually really fun to watch.

God's Own Country. 2017
A good movie. Subject is not for everyone.. Gay sheep farmers.. Think Broke Back Mountain but on an always overcast sheep farm in Leeds. Movie somehow gives you really good understanding of all the characters and how their relationships interplay.
Belen 2025
A movie from Argentina, it's very good, subject matter is a bit heavy and because it's a film the really concentrated some serious things like women's rights, uneven enforcement of the law, social pressures into an hour and 45 minute movie.. It's available dubbed with English and the Spanish version. Dubbed movies typically drive me crazy, like old Japanese movies were the person's mouth and body movements have zero coordination.. Pretty good.

Good Fortune 2025
Keanu Reeves plays an angel who wants to change job categories in heaven and instead of his specialty, keeping people from serious injury or dying from texting and driving, he wants to go to people who are hopeless in life. Pretty funny, pretty heavy handed about poor economy, lack of national fellowship, how bad the really rich are..few other things like dead end jobs mixed in.. Worth watching..
Play Date 2025
Kevin James and hulking Alan Ritchson in buddy comedy. Doesn't require you to think about anything, lots of action and everyone in the movie is cast perfectly..

Adulthood 2025
A movie to watch if you are in a bad mood, dark comedy , everyone in the movie is an idiot, funny situations every few minutes, excellent in my opinion. Josh Gad is great in my opinion, he also had a recent TV series, Wolf Like Me, Australia based, he falls in love with a cute, loveable female werewolf, who is super nice until a full moon and then she starts murdering everyone. It's funny.
