Last movie I saw was Upgrade. It's a great little film by one of the guys who created Saw and Insidious but this is a sci-fi actioner.

The last movie i saw is titled Gringo.
About a young african american encountering difficulties in his life and at the end prevailing. The movie was quite great portraying the native culture of the african american and still keeping it american based.
I rated the movie a 7.6 out of 10.
You all should see it. Really great movie👌.

I just watched the movie Circus Kane. It's absolutely worth the time if you have prime, and have an appreciation for bad movies. It stars Jonathan Lipnicki (Jerry Maguire, The Little Vampire) as young man caught in a death game. Eight people are invited to the house of Balthasar Kane, a circus clown who was arrested for arson and murder. He invites the eight contestants to take part in "Circus Kane." It turns out Circus Kane is where you get killed for real. It's a mixture of Saw and basically any other death game show or movie out there. The dialogue is hysterically bad, and the blood effect is legitimately cherry filling. I had a blast being confused by it. I would highly recommend as a 'get together with friends' sort of movie.
I would rate it a 1 out of 4 professionally, but a 4 out of 4 for pure entertainment value.

The last movie I watched was Hotel Transylvania 3 and yes it’s a kids movie but hear me out! It was actually quiet funny and it has a bit of comedy for the adults, so I would recommend it for a family day out. 4/4 stars.

The Family Man which is sort of a cross between It's A Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol .

I thought it was a good movie. I wouldn't call it great but it was a lighthearted and fun movie to watch. Very entertaining - at least I thought so.

This week I've watched a few. My favorite was Murder on the Orient Express. I give it 5 out of 5 stars.

I've also watched The Black Panther which I'd give 4 out of 5 stars, and Avengers Infinity War which I'd give 3/5 stars. I expected to love it, but I was rather disappointed in the ending.
I understand though that there's going to be a sequel. But, in my opinion, it just seems like they stopped the story midway through...

Last movie I saw was Avengers: Infinity War. I was a big fan (might be a bit biased since I love all Avengers movies :wink: )
I gave it a 5/5 and would definitely watch it again if I stumbled upon it somewhere :D

The last movie I saw was Slenderman. It was okay. It had some solid jump scares, cool effects, and talented actors. It wasn't too unique as far as horror movies go and a good chunk of the film was predictable. 2.5/5.

I went to see The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society last night and loved it! I had no idea what to expect thanks to the quirky title but it was brilliant! I highly recommend.

I saw Crazy Rich Asians last week and absolutely loved it. I normally have a lot of nitpicky things to say after seeing a movie based on a book I’ve read, but I thought this movie was so well done and stayed true to the spirit and fun of the book that I didn’t even pay attention to the differences. And I loved having such great Asian representation in film!

I watched the new Ghost Busters movie. It was okay, definitely not the original but I loved the ladies in it! Nice little cameos of the original cast members. Except two. 3/5 popcorn bags for me.

The last movie I watched was on the Pure Flix app. The name of it was Touched By Grace and was very good. I would definitely recommend this movie for others to watch, especially for young adolescents and teens. It is a good example of what happens when someone is bullied.
