Lincoln

This type of movies can always strike a chord.  I thought this movie was a great depiction of one of the most significant events in American history.

A Place In The Sun

A great movie from the late great Elizabeth Taylor. Worth a watch. Didn't realize that some of these older movies dealt with such serious dark topics. I was pleasantly surprised.

Open Range

A great western and an all around good film!

IP Man: Final Fight

A great end to the IP Man trilogy. All three movies were enjoyable.

IP Man 2

Another amazing martial arts movie! If you enjoyed the first you will also enjoy the second.

IP Man

I stand by this statement that this is the best martial arts film I have EVER seen. I had no idea what this movie was about but I was excited when I found out it was about Bruce Lee's mentor. The choreography is AMAZING! This is a must see for all martial arts fans!

Jack The Giant Slayer

I thought this was a fun spin on Jack and the bean stalk.

Iron Man 3

I've enjoyed all of the Iron Man movies and this movie is no exception.  It was Robert Downey Jr.'s destiny to play this role.  Definitely worth a watch if you are in to comic book movies.

The Wolverine

This movie was a little better than I thought it would be, but definitely at the bottom of the barrel as far as the latest installment of comic book movies go.  However not a terrible watch if you like comic book movies and don't have anything else to watch.

Star Trek - Into Darkness

Just like it's predecessor I enjoyed this new reboot of the Star Trek series.  I also really liked the introduction of Kahn. Can't wait for the next one.  I recommend a watch.

Star Trek (2009)

I remember before watching this movie for the first time I thought this movie is going to be stupid.  Because so many times no matter how much a classic a movie is, no matter how good the concept writers find ways totally screw up a classic.  However I was very surprised by this movie. It was very well done. If you are a sci-fi and a Star Trek fan this is definitely worth a watch.

Cloud Atlas

This movie is not for the faint of heart.  I think most movie goers would find this movie boring and confusing.  It is extremely long and kind of hard to follow.  I'm not sure ow I feel about this movie.  I liked some aspects of it I guess but I don't think I would ever watch it  again.

Immortals

Being a fan of great action and amazing visuals in movies I was pleasantly impressed by this movie. If you want an Oscar worthy story line look elsewhere, but if you like alot of action and top tier visual effects this is your movie.

Batman Returns

To me this movie had the same potential as the first one but I just don't think the penguin was a good movie villain. 

Batman

No matter how old this movie gets I still enjoy it.  No matter how many versions are made this will always be the original.

The Seven Year Itch

Another good Marilyn Monroe movie. I think only the true classic movie lover will appreciate this.

Some Like It Hot

I enjoyed this movie. I never knew what the big deal was with Marilyn Monroe, but now I see. If you are interested in jumping in the time machine to watch one of films early comedies this is a good one to start on.
