The First Purge -- 6.5/10
My least favorite film in The Purge series. It didn't flow as well as the other three have. Costumes/Masks were all good, as they tend to be w/ this series. Marissa Tomei was underused imo and I wish that SPOILER: show |

Game over, man 6.3/10
From the workaholics crew this over the top comedy is what you'd expect from this group in an r rated setting. Tons of profanity, drug use and a couple of penises. This movie is basically a workaholics movie with a few tweaks to the 3 main characters but not really very much except one is gay. Not bad by any stretch of the imagination and there is actually a decent co star cast led by Neal P. McDonough who i absolutely love. He will forever be type cast as a villan but he is so deliciously evil i don't mind. The plot is outrageous as are a few of the death scenes but the movie is meant to be absurd, over the top and funny. It hits on all those cylinders in bits and pieces throughout but in the end it really just seems netflix said "we got the money to give you to make a movie but we cant get the rights to workaholics so make us something as close as possible to that without us getting sued." The boys took the free money. |

Ant Man And The Wasp -- 8/10
Really fun movie. Great action scenes. A lot of good characters. Cool special effects. Wasp is a badass. |

Antman and The Wasp: 7/10
Really fun. For a movie about science they spent a lot of time turning it into psudomagic. Could have easily been a Doctor Strange movie. Baring that flaw the movie was great. Good characters. Well written call backs. The Wasp was fabulous though id have liked more of her. |

Ant Man and The Wasp: 7/10
One of those Marvel movies that is just "fine" and you forget about in a few years. Bumped the score up by half a point because I had no idea Michelle Pfiefer was still a smokeshow. |

I thought her from Lost was a very weak part of Ant Man. I may just give this one a miss.

I was like “Wait! Ant Man and The Wasp is out already!? How did that sneak past me?” Turns out it’s not out in the UK until August! Unusual, as we normally get Marvel movies early.

Watched first purge tonight due to Ant Man being sold out and I had a movie pass...so hey watch something
It was ok. I get why they went where they went with it. Not sure why I was supposed to feel connected to a few characters and a lot of it came off as a big hero action movie at times which is not the formula that should be followed. Like I said, it was ok. Also, not sure why everyone had their fucking cell phone vibrate on LOUD when you know for a fact people are killing everything that moves. Maybe there wasn't a silent feature back then... I can't remember. 5.7/10 - Now there's a purge tv show. Lame. |

Moviepass #73 Antman 2 - 5/10 So I just watched thevfirsr one today for the first time (not gonna rate it here) but it got me interested enough in the sequel to watch almost immediately after. The sequel seemed like it didn't know what it wanted to do all over the place ..there was at least some more humor..but really I just didn't like it as much as the first one by a wide margin

Yeah it is so much better when you get to the numerous end twists. It had me worried though.

Antma & The Wasp: 8.5/10 - One of my more favourite in the Marvel franchise. Good action, good story, good humour, awesome special effects.... cannot ask for more than that....Paul Rudd looks amazing for almost 50 years old....

Really want to see this as I'm a huge Mr. Rogers mark to this day. Problem is that everyone says you'll cry (why? When he dies?) so I'm putting it in the same category as Dumbo where I'm not going to a public place to watch a movie where I have a high probability of breaking down in front of a theater full of people.

I remember this old prank show that thought it would be funny to remove the TV from his hotel room figuring he'd be upset about it and demand they find another tv. A terrible premise for a prank to begin with. Like, were you expecting that anyone, let alone Fred Rogers, would throw shot around the room because the TV was gone?? Anyway....
They have someone show him the room and he's just like "It looks fine, thank you." And they have to point out the gag - that there's no tv. He's just like "Oh, that's OK I don't watch much television anyway." So the host has to come in and be like "we thought you'd be upset." |

So basically they completely undermined the premise by picking a genuinely nice guy.
This makes Zach Braff's child-punching reaction to Punk'd even better. |

The Incredibles 2 - 4.5/5
Brad Bird needs to cut a deal with Disney/Pixar and just keep making good stuff like this. |

If you can find this low budget but really good quality movie Lunopolis I'd really like to hear your thoughts on it.

Moviepass #76 Skyscraper 4.5/10
The first 30 minutes or so were solid and enjoyable and then somewhere after the first fight scene (which was great) the movie just went to shit. Not the worst I've seen lately but its on the list. |

Skyscraper - 4/10
It's big and dumb and I think kids will like it. Then those kids will rewatch it in twenty years and be like 'holy shit this has a lot of plot holes' Neve Campbell channels her inner Sydney Prescott. |

A good stand alone entry. Mid credit scene had everyone gasping. |

Won't you be my neighbor-8/10
The feels. Mr Rogers was a remarkable man. This doc just solidified what I grew up believing. Ant Man and the Wasp-7/10 The shrinking and growing novelty didn't have the same charm but Paul Rudd has undeniable likeability and charm and the ending was great. Mid credits scene was stellar. |

I can't find it but it sounds like a movie I once watched about half of while channel surfing. It may have been on Film 4 in the U.K.
Currently watching a film called "Delirious" with Steve Buscemi and Michael Pitt. This is going to receive a high rating and probably quite a long review. |
