Timecop – A Timeless effort by one of the leading action-cinematic stars of the last generation, JCVD. 

Prometheus – Wasn't the movie I hoped it would be, but with more views, I'm loving it more and more. It's beautifully shot, more of a scenic film than story, although, now I feel the story is a great set up for future prequels.

Alien: Covenant – The more views on this, the more I love it. This film is basically the first to Alien movies, but with a much darker ending. 

A Quiet Place – Don't believe the hype, believe in me – this movie is dope. 

Alien – Ripley is adamant about policy. Aliens – Ripley writes policy with a pulse rifle.

Concesseionaires Must Die – A nice indie flick full of pop-culture references, mostly on movies. It's like Empire Records but with a movie theater. 

Avengers: Infinity War – I was never really into the MCU as heavily as most people. I'm still not, but I do enjoy the Gaurdians' movies. This was an enjoyable flick, a good point of reference to what a comic adapted movie should be – overtly humorous, action heavy, and wildly entertaining. It's weird, I never thought of the comics as funny at all, or, I might have just missed it entirely.

Cowboy Bebop episode 1 to 21 – Want to revisit the series because it still holds up. Always fresh, always fun. Trying to see what episodes I would have added instead to the Best Sessions exclusive release, but so far, those episodes selected on that DVD are still the best ones – Waltz for Venus, Asteroid Blues, Mushroom Samaba, Wild Horses...I think Jupiter Jazz pt. 1 and pt. 2 are on there as well. 
​
The Titan – Sci-fi hallmark flick labeled as a Netflix original. I think there are political undertones in this film, where the Left and the Right are both on the same page on solutions to saving humanity, with the same long term goals and how to achieve them. The only difference between the two sides: the Right wants to destroy the test subjects, the Left wants to set them free. That is the ONLY difference. So who is the real bad guy here? Let me remind you this his is how 28 Days Later started.

The Outsiders - Because Matt Dillon is perfection.
​
Disturbing Behavior - The best part about this film is The Flys on the soundtrack.

Last House on the Left - I want Tony Goldwyn as MY dad if anything bad (god forbid) happened to me.

​Waitress - This is just all around fabulous from the writing, to the comedy, to the tears and the very end...small town girl makes good!

The People vs. Larry Flynt - Proof that Woody Harrelson is one talented motherfucker.

Abandon​ - terrible film with one of the best tunes from Jane's Addiction.

Nocturnal Animals - This is disturbing in so many ways.

Drugstore Cowboy - Because Matt Dillon again.

The Jurassic Games - Pretty surprising little screener with fun for all!

My top 9 films for April are as follows in NO particular order.

TRAIN TO BUSAN : I was on the late train to view this film. However this K-Horror film is pretty damn good. Zombies on a train.. next stop more Zombies.

RAID THE REDEMPTION : I have always enjoyed this film, the martial arts action scenes are top notch. And it only gets better in Raid : The Redemption 2

PRINCE OF DARKNESS : this film is a total trip from John Carpenter in all honesty it’s one of my favorites from the Horror Master. Liquid Evil, Alice Cooper Cameo, and who can forget about the “Bug Man”

SCARECROWS 1988 : The first film to deal with Slasher Scarecrows. And it’s a pretty good 80s flim.

FRIDAY THE 13TH PT.2 1981 : This is the film that actually has Jason’s first appearance as the Camp Crystal Lake Slasher, taking off where mother left off hunting all the teen counselors and anyone else in the path of his murderous rampage  

THE SHAPE OF WATER : Aside from being an award winning Horror film from Guillermo Del Torro. This film actually made me teary eyed near the ending of the film. If a film can bring some emotions out of me, I have nothing but love ️ for it  

DEATH WISH 4 : THE CRACKDOWN  Charles Bronson is a total badass once again. This time taking on 2 mafia families and a drug syndicate.

CYBORG: Jean Claude Van Damme is kicking mutant ass as consequence of his family being murdered. Classic Van Damme  

DEATH WISH 1974 : The film that started it all.

My bottom 5

MOM AND DAD: I’m not sure what I was expecting from this one. Aside from seeing Lance Henriksen , his role was cut way too short. 

DEVILS PASS: I should have paid attention to the second word “PASS” in the title.   

THE COMMUTER : I normally like Liam Neeson films where he is kicking ass. However this film felt overly drawn out, and for some reason I was expecting more. Maybe that’s why Neeson announced he was retiring from those types of films. Hmmm we’ll see.  

DOWNSIZING : My Girlfriend wanted to watch this one, I wasn’t feeling it many times I caught myself nodding out. #boring  

THE PACT : It is not memorable at all . #DUD

Another busy month for me means I didn't get to watch very many movies. 

RAMPAGE was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it immensely. 

​The HBO doc ANDRE THE GIANT was very interesting and really sad. 

Bad Santa
Bad Santa 2
The House
The Whole Nine Yards
Snatch
Insidious 
Rampage
The Conjuring
Insidious
Everything Sucks 
Blair Witch (2016)
GOTG Volume.  2
Andre The Giant
Heat (1995)
L. A.  Confidential 
The Magnificent Seven (1960)
Casino Royale (2006)
San Andreas
The Lazerus Effect

The LAZERUS EFFECT had a lot of potential but should have taken a left at Alburqurque, they fumbled it so bad it was like The Rams were still in St.  Louis. 

Turns out I STILL don't like INSIDIOUS. No where near my favorite horror film THE CONJURING, though both are directed by James Wan and starring Patrick Wilson. 

​I suggest everyone watch EVERYTHING SUCKS on Netflix and if you like it, tweet Netflix and let them know! ​Okay, I know this isn't a movie, but its only been out two months and Netflix canceled it. Which is a crime considering we have two more Bright movies coming
