*****SPOILERS***** *****SPOILERS***** *****SPOILERS***** I am struggling with this one. Is it my number one or is it number two? I love this movie so freaking much. I don't know why I now have 3 gang movies in my top five but I do now. I didn't know Scorcesse did this movie until the end credits. Had I known I would have been even more biased toward it. I was already extremely biased at the start because I absolutely love the cast. Mark Wahlberg is my favorite all-time actor because he is the narrator of my rosary on my rosary app. That is why I liked the ending so much. Actually I don't think I liked it. I am going to say that this is the single best ending I have ever seen in cinema. Everyone dies! And Mark Whalberg wins! The plot was a tad bit hard to follow. I figured it out in the end but I was confused for a time. I really liked how the stories were separate from each other until the end. I think the flip phones were perfect. I know that that was the best tech, but that aspect was perfect for the film because of everything that they brought to it. It was small things. Sulivan texting in his pocket, no caller ID, and the loud ringer that messes Costigan up. I also loved how Jack Nicholson and Lianardo Dicapprio played their characters. They did them perfectly. The lighting was very good. I really liked how there was a significant contrast between the lighting of the two stories. The soundtrack was great too. It felt like there was always something playing in the background, but it worked because it was being played in the actual scene itself. Overall, another great Scorcese movie. Loved it so much. Can't decide whether it should be number 1,2, or 3. I am leaning towards 1. 9.9999/10 Ok, I have decided, it's 1.

Wonka
With my friends on Saturday night. They wanted to watch this. I didn't. Very low expectations for this. I was actually surprised. This movie wasn't terrible. I liked it. I thought it was a very creative film to make for Wonka. I think his personality was not jackass enough. I also thought that this movie is intened for children 8 and up. That is my only problem. The singing and dancing were cool. I thought that the plot worked. I liked its message of team values. Overall, it would be a great family movie. 7/10 So I haven't seen this movie before Saturday. I wish I hadn't. I was with the same friends who forced me to watch Barbie. This movie is everything I expected Barbie to be. Didn't interest me at all. I was so bored that I rode a stationary bike while I watched it. The plot is stupid. I didn't care for it at all. This might be the worse than The Boy and The Heron. I hate movies about lawyer cases. I don't know what career I am going into but I know for a fact that I will not be a lawyer. That might have been the problem for me. Had it been about a different occupation, I might not have hated it so much, but they didn't so I hated it.
Lots of people that I know really like this but I have never gotten around to watching it. I had no idea what I was getting into. Figured out what kind of movie it was pretty quickly. I didn’t really like how “slapstick” it was. But I never really like those movies. Other than that It was just a funny movie. The plot was pretty dumb if you ask me. I don’t really like aliens in movies. They make everything too far fetched. If you can let there be aliens you can literally do what ever the heck you want in your film and just call it sci fi. I don't like that because then the plot seems more loose. I liked the special effects- they were cool and silly but unnecessary. I really liked the black suits that everyone wore. Those were probably the best part. I thought that Will Smith fit his character very well and I was very surprised that he didn't slap any aliens. Overall funny movie, If you like sci fi you would really like it. 5/10 Beverly Hills Cop
So I didn't know much going into this except that my parents told me that it was a funny movie. Normally (with the exception of Cocaine Bear) when people tell me that a movie is very funny, I find it very boring. However, this movie was very funny. Definitely a top-five comedy movie. Something I noticed was that unlike most comedy movies that I have seen, this movie's plot was legit. It was the perfect balance of funny vs. serious. It was also all very realistic--I really don't like slapstick stuff. I really liked how over-the-top Eddie Murphy was. I like him as an actor. On a more serious note, I thought that this movie also had some legit points about racism. The wat they show how the white cops targeted him because of his race was very well done. Overall, this movie was surprisinly well done and I liked it a lot--but not enough to make even my top ten. 6.5/10 So I was at a friend's place on Saturday and my friend wanted to watch this. I was sort of curious as to what this movie was all about. I had no idea about what I was getting into with this movie. This movie sucks.
To start, the movie is only like 2 hours long. There was no time for the movie to really get going. I feel like this movie had no real plot. I had trouble following it. The ending made no sense at all. It felt like she never embraced herself as barbie and was constantly trying to be someone else. I thought the whole Ken aspect was terrible. Like, he kept being a pansy about everything. I feel like both men and women were misinterpreted in the movie, but the movie was trying to show that that is life. I was bored the whole time during this movie. 3/10 Oh. My. Gosh. This is it. This is the movie that I have been looking for. This is the summit of all film. Never seen it’s equal. I feel like this is the point where I can stop watching more movies because I have found it. I really can’t describe why, but it is truly the best piece of cinema I have seen. I think the biggest selling piece of this was the plot. I don’t typically like 3 hour long movies but this is the exception. From start to finish, I was focused on it, and it really drew me in. I don’t think there is a scene in this movie that I would take out. The ending especially. It was so amazing. I was actually so happy for the characters. I think this is a perfect film. This is cinema. This is a cinematic masterpiece.
