(SPOILER FREE REVIEW READ THIS BEFORE WATCHING THE MOVIE) If you are going to enjoy Drive DO NOT WATCH the trailers, I can't stress this enough. The trailers make it out to be a generic action movie, when in reality its a drama, and a really damn good one. If you are expecting a generic pg-13 action film that barley crosses the R border, you are going to be disappointed. Here are 2 reasons why this film is different than your typical action film. 1. Its barely an action movie, above all its a drama and a love story. There are only action scenes at the beginning and after the halfway mark. This is a movie that takes its time to build atmosphere and character. 2. This movie is VIOLENT, as violent as a movie can get is this movie. It is not for the faint of heart. Words can not describe how gruesome and graphic this movie is. Pros 1. Great acting from every one, no one phones it in. 2. The action in this film is amazing, this film truly is the epitome of art-house action. 3. The soundtrack is euphoric, the songs are beautiful and just may make you love a genre you either dismissed or didn't know about. 4. The score (while not there often) is amazing. 5. When it goes in that direction this movie is a white knuckle thriller, there are scenes in this movie that made me dig my nails into my hands. 6. While most romances in movies feel corny and forced, the romance in this movie is beautiful, heartbreaking, and heartwarming. 7. This movie is substance over style. This film is a drama with an excellent heist thriller in the background. I cannot think of any cons, it's an A+, GO WATCH IT.

(SPOILER ALERT) This movie, above all things, is just average. Some movies that are less than good are at least enjoyable popcorn movies, but this one isn't even really fun to watch. With a plothole ridden runtime, one of the only things that were good in this movie is Tony Starks's death, I just wish a scene so good was in a better movie. Infinity War and the idea of a finale set the bar so high, sadly it missed the bar becoming and average and forgettable with some good scenes scattered throughout.

Riverdale is, without doubt, one of the worst series ever made. Filled with unsympathetic characters, predictable storylines, horrible dialogue, and up to the brim with cliches. If you've ever seen a TV show before you will know everything that happens before it happens. The acting is absolutely terrible in this show, Luke Perry is an excellent actor, so a paycheck is the only explanation for why his acting is so bad in this. But the biggest problem in this show is the very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, bad dialogue. Every word that comes out of the character's mouths sounds contrived and cringeworthy. Riverdale may work as a guilty pleasure or background noise for sex. But in every other respect, it is a terrible show.

A masterpiece to anyone who isn't dead inside. I checked out this film on tv for no reason, and cried, felt immense joy, and had white knuckles throughout. Forrest Gump follows Tom Hanks in an excellent performance. The movie depicts love, loss, and life in a realistic way. All the characters are realistic and sympathetic making everything that happens either happier, tenser, or sadder. Without spoilers, the movie's ending is sad while being satisfying and happy. In short, if you are one of those people who have a checklist of things to complain about or be offended about, this movie isn't for you. But if you want to watch one of the best movies of all time, with great performances, great direction, and amazing writing. You should check out Forrest Gump.

Natural Born Killers is quite the conundrum. While you can appreciate the innovative visuals and excellent acting. You can find yourself criticizing the failed satire it relies on, and it's excellent visuals becoming a distraction, taking you out of the movie. That is a very big problem because, despite the obvious exaggerations, Natural Born Killer is supposed to feel real. The film was made to address a real problem but if it feels too unreal, the point of the film falls flat. This may be due too a director doing everything he thinks is a good idea, with no one telling him to cool it down. Another big problem is the hypocrisy in the movie, It tries to condemn our obsession with violence and murderers. While reveling in the violence and murderers it depicts on screen. I have no problem with violence in movies, but if you condemn that while showing it, It defeats the point. There are good things in the movie the great acting by Woody Harrelson, Juliette Lewis, Tommy Lee Jones, and Robert Downey Jr. all in Oscar-worthy performances. The great visuals, while not being too distracting, you can appreciate. Ambition can always be appreciated. But much like Stay (2005), it has ambition and good intentions, but its intellectual ambitions is out of its grasp.
