Prey For The Devil

The Roman Catholic Church combats a global rise in demonic possessions by reopening schools to train priests to perform exorcisms. Although nuns are forbidden to perform this ritual, a professor recognizes Sister Ann's gifts and agrees to train her. Thrust onto the spiritual frontline, she soon finds herself in a battle for the soul of a young girl who's possessed by the same demon that tormented her own mother years earlier.

This was pretty much your run of the mill, wash - rinse - repeat, exorcism movie.   I feel like I have seen some version of this movie a million times.   It had some really good sight scares but the bottom line is that you kind of forget about the movie five minutes after watching it.

I wouldn't really recommend anyone needing to see this.  The movie isn't a bad movie.  It's just really a dime a dozen exorcism movie and brings nothing new to the table.  

Ticket To Paradise

A divorced couple teams up and travels to Bali to stop their daughter from making the same mistake they think they made 25 years ago.

This was a textbook rom-com.  There is nothing about this movie that you didn't know from the trailer.  You saw that and you pretty much saw the movie.  That being said - the chemistry between Clooney and Roberts was very legit and Madde the movie watchable/enjoyable even with how predictable it was in every way.  I wish that there would have been more laugh out loud moments during the movie like the beer pong scene but it was a decent watch regardless.  

I would recommend this to any fan of rom-coms.  It is a decent watch.  Not a must see by any means but enjoyable enough.  

Black Adam

In ancient Kahndaq, Teth Adam was bestowed the almighty powers of the gods. After using these powers for vengeance, he was imprisoned, becoming Black Adam. Nearly 5,000 years have passed, and Black Adam has gone from man to myth to legend. Now free, his unique form of justice, born out of rage, is challenged by modern-day heroes who form the Justice Society: Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Atom Smasher and Cyclone.

I find it impossible to not watch DC movies skeptically now.  LOL!  This was a really good movie for like the first 3/4 of it.  The background origins of Black Adam were good.  The Rock was great in the part.  The new characters that were introduced were all good.  And then right when I actually said this is much better than I expected they went and ended it the same exact absurd way that all DC movies end.  Fire everywhere.  An oversized satan related villain and lots of massive slow motion jumping and action.  Like why in the blue hell is that a thing.  Still though - this movie did much better than any previous DC movies in terms of connecting things to it throughout the universe but like do they really know what they want to do with the DC Universe?   Like I think that is the massive problem.

I would still recommend people checking this out.  It is a better than average watch and I mean . . . . . . its The Rock.  Why would anyone not watch him?

Bros

Bobby is a neurotic podcast host who's happy to go on Tinder dates and content not to have a serious relationship. That all changes when he meets Aaron, an equally detached lawyer who likes to play the field. Repeatedly drawn to each other, both men begin to show their vulnerable sides as their undeniable attraction turns into something resembling a commitment.

This movie was a decent watch overall.  It started as being very homosexually specific but then hit its groove when it really embraced the Rom Com formula.  The tough thing with this movie is that no matter how accepting you are of LGBTQ community, this is still a targeted watch.  Like heterosexual couples wouldn't see this as their date movie.  Families are not going to go see it.  I like that they put it out there for the targeted audience but it is a very targeted audience watch.

I would recommend this to anyone who is homosexual or is open minded enough to take it for what it is.  It's a decent rom com overall outside of some extreme sexual content.

Halloween Ends

Four years after her last encounter with masked killer Michael Myers, Laurie Strode is living with her granddaughter and trying to finish her memoir. Myers hasn't been seen since, and Laurie finally decides to liberate herself from rage and fear and embrace life. However, when a young man stands accused of murdering a boy that he was babysitting, it ignites a cascade of violence and terror that forces Laurie to confront the evil she can't control.

What the hell was this?   They legit just wanted a final battle with Laurie Strode and Michael Myers and tacked on a whole other movie a year later in order to show that scene during the last 15 minutes of the movie.  Everything up to that was beyond pointless, beyond crap and honestly became like comedic material.  I am baffled as to what their plan was here.  Totally baffled.

I would not recommend anyone watch this.  Ever.  This has to be the odds on favorite for worst movie of the year.

Amsterdam

Set in the '30s, it follows three friends who witness a murder, become suspects themselves, and uncover one of the most outrageous plots in American history.

This was one weird ass movie.  If I would have reviewed this right after watching it I probably would have ranted about how ridiculous it was and all over the place with you watching the whole thing saying what the f am I watching.  But when thinking about it overnight I realize that it was all by design.  It was taking a bunch of very dedicated method actors and putting them in this where you can't help but think a bunch of it is improvised and even though you have no idea where it is going or what is happening at so many points - you are definitely. hooked and invested and at no point entertaining pulling the plug.  Credit where its due that is actually pretty impressive.  

I would strangely recommend people checking this out.  Its a very enjoyable watch with awesome actors even though it is quite random and off the wall.
