- DirectorPaul Thomas AndersonStarsJoaquin PhoenixPhilip Seymour HoffmanAmy AdamsA Naval veteran arrives home from war unsettled and uncertain of his future - until he is tantalized by the Cause and its charismatic leader.People usually say this is one of their favourite Joaquin Phoenix movie but I just don’t understand what is so interesting. Joaquin is a king but this movie was just boring and I sorta fell asleep during parts of it idk I’m sorry
- DirectorTodd PhillipsStarsZach GalifianakisBradley CooperJustin BarthaThree buddies wake up from a bachelor party in Las Vegas, with no memory of the previous night and the bachelor missing. They make their way around the city in order to find their friend before his wedding.i had really high expectations due to all the great things I’ve heard about this movie but It was let down. It had some funny scenes but not enough to make me love it
- DirectorNick CassavetesStarsGena RowlandsJames GarnerRachel McAdamsAn elderly man reads to a woman with dementia the story of two young lovers whose romance is threatened by the difference in their respective social classes.i enjoyed the film but I was expecting to cry a lot cause everyone says it’s sad. But I didn’t?? It was sad but I didn’t cry the river I was expecting to. Idk I think I had too high expectations
- DirectorBlake EdwardsStarsAudrey HepburnGeorge PeppardPatricia NealA young New York socialite becomes interested in a young man who has moved into her apartment building, but her past threatens to get in the way.This is Audrey Hepburns most known role and In my opinion it’s alright but it’s overhyped. She has way better films like Sabrina and Roman Holiday.
- DirectorPaul FeigStarsKristen WiigMaya RudolphRose ByrneCompetition between the maid of honor and a bridesmaid, over who is the bride's best friend, threatens to upend the life of an out-of-work pastry chef.Saw so much hype and read how funny it was. But it’s not :( I Found the bathroom scene funny but everything else was boring and overly long
- DirectorPeter WeirStarsJim CarreyEd HarrisLaura LinneyAn insurance salesman discovers his whole life is actually a reality TV show.Don’t get what people loved about this. Interesting concept but not my favourite.

- DirectorBradley CooperStarsLady GagaBradley CooperSam ElliottA musician helps a young singer find fame as age and alcoholism send his own career into a downward spiral.
It was good and it made me cry in the end. But it’s a bit overhyped - DirectorRichard AttenboroughStarsBen KingsleyJohn GielgudRohini HattangadiThe life of the lawyer who became the famed leader of the Indian revolts against the British rule through his philosophy of nonviolent protest.I was forced to watch this movie for a history class and it was the most boring film ever. 3 hours of pure boringness. No offense Gandhi you were a good man but this movie was too long
- DirectorRichard KellyStarsJake GyllenhaalJena MaloneMary McDonnellAfter narrowly escaping a bizarre accident, a troubled teenager is plagued by visions of a man in a large rabbit suit who manipulates him to commit a series of crimes.I found it so confusing. I had to go online and read what happened to fully understand. It hurt my brain and idk it’s just so weird why is it a cult classic??
- DirectorAri AsterStarsFlorence PughJack ReynorVilhelm BlomgrenA couple travels to Northern Europe to visit a rural hometown's fabled Swedish mid-summer festival. What begins as an idyllic retreat quickly devolves into an increasingly violent and bizarre competition at the hands of a pagan cult.The critics seem to love this movie. It’s probably the most disturbing and weirdest movie I have ever seen. But I don’t know if I loved how unsettling it was or if I hated it. Super conflicted
- DirectorNeil BurgerStarsEdward NortonJessica BielPaul GiamattiIn turn-of-the-century Vienna, a magician uses his abilities to secure the love of a woman far above his social standing.Compelling but unsatisfying

- DirectorBryan SingerStarsKevin SpaceyGabriel ByrneChazz PalminteriThe sole survivor of a pier shoot-out tells the story of how a notorious criminal influenced the events that began with five criminals meeting in a seemingly random police lineup.I enjoyed it but it’s overhyped. It’s just boring at parts but the ending was good. It’s just that it’s all complicated and by the end of the movie there’s no real plot. I liked it but meh expected better
- DirectorOliver StoneStarsWoody HarrelsonJuliette LewisTom SizemoreTwo victims of traumatized childhoods become lovers and psychopathic serial murderers irresponsibly glorified by the mass media.nope. It had the ingredients to make a great film but it took it way too far and it just lacked. I liked some of the added artsy stuff but it got old quickly.
- DirectorYorgos LanthimosStarsColin FarrellRachel WeiszJessica BardenIn a dystopian near future, according to the laws of The City, single people are taken to The Hotel, where they are obliged to find a romantic partner in 45 days or they're transformed into beasts and sent off into The Woods.Loved the beginning and quirky dialogue but I hated the ending.
- DirectorRian JohnsonStarsDaniel CraigChris EvansAna de ArmasA detective investigates the death of the patriarch of an eccentric, combative family.Very stylish but great characters but the plot was predictable and overly long.
