The Lost City

Reclusive author Loretta Sage writes about exotic places in her popular adventure novels that feature a handsome cover model named Alan. While on tour promoting her new book with Alan, Loretta gets kidnapped by an eccentric billionaire who hopes she can lead him to an ancient city's lost treasure from her latest story. Determined to prove he can be a hero in real life and not just on the pages of her books, Alan sets off to rescue her.

This was a total throwback romantic action comedy.   It was formula in every possible way but it didn't matter.  The chemistry between Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum was perfect.  Sandra Bullock's physical comedy was priceless yet again.  Even Daniel Radcliffe's overacting as the villain was very enjoyable.  The movie was just a lot of fun with a bunch of huge laughs.

I would definitely recommend people checking this movie out.  It was a very fun watch and just a good time while turning your brain off and enjoying the ride.  

Turning Red

Mei Lee is a 13-year-old girl who is torn between being her mother's obedient daughter and the chaos of her youth. As if that were not enough, when she gets too excited, she turns into a big red panda.

This was one of Pixar's weirder movies.  Not bad at all.  I mean they honestly don't know how to do bad.  This was just one of the most specific target audience movies that they have ever made.  Like this was legit for young teenage girls of Asian descent.  Does that mean it sucks for everyone else?  No.  Not at all. I enjoyed the movie alot but was definitely thrown for a loop with how targeted it was for that audience when Pixar has always done such an incredibly job of their movies being for all audiences.  Still very cute message and lots of laughs.  

I would definitely recommend people checking this out because like I said Pixar doesn't make bad movies.  Just a heads up that it is very specifically targeted much more than all their other movies.  

Studio 666

Members of the rock band Foo Fighters move into a mansion to record their 10th album. Once in the house, singer Dave Grohl finds himself grappling with supernatural forces that threaten both the completion of the album and the band members' lives.

How is this a movie that was ever made?  Like honestly.  This was not only made but also got a theatrical release.  Few things will ever baffle me more than this.  The Foo Fighters are lucky that I will not hold this against them musically and will happily still keep rocking to that.  This movie was just a giant turd and not even worth any details.  

I would absolutely not recommend anyone ever watching this.  It is a total waste of time.

The Batman

Batman ventures into Gotham City's underworld when a sadistic killer leaves behind a trail of cryptic clues. As the evidence begins to lead closer to home and the scale of the perpetrator's plans become clear, he must forge new relationships, unmask the culprit and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued the metropolis.

First going to make the major knock against this movie.  There was ZERO reason for this to be 3 hours long.  That being said, I have no other complaints about this movie.  It was really really great.  The cast across the board was awesome - especially Dano as the Riddler.  The action was great.  The story was great.  The character development and setting things up for sequels was great.  This was probably my third favorite Batman movie after The Dark Knight and the original Batman with Nicholson.  Still could have used a bunch of editing to shorten it but when that is your only complaint about a DC movie is that it was too long that is so much better than the usual.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.  It was a great watch with great casting.  Definitely worried about how DC moves forward with any connections to the other pieces that they have in motion but as a standalone this movie was great.
