Champions

A former minor-league basketball coach receives a court order to manage a team of players with intellectual disabilities. Despite his doubts, he soon realizes that together they can go further than they ever imagined.

Did I laugh at this alot more than I probably should have?  Yes.  But was it still a very funny and heartwarming movie that had you hooked by a ton of the characters in it?  Also yes.  This was a really great feel good movie and just a very fun time.

I would absolutely recommend people checking this movie out.  It has lots of laughs and leaves you feeling very good.

80 For Brady

Four best friends live life to the fullest when they embark on a wild trip to see their hero, Tom Brady, play in the 2017 Super Bowl.

This movie is literally the trailer for it.  You watch that you watch the movie.  They pull some completely predictable and formula heart strings along the way but there is nothing outside of the trailer substance wise for this movie.

I wouldn't recommend anyone bothering with this.  Even for the specific age demographic it was made the movie is ultimately just there.

Jesus Revolution

In the 1970s, Greg Laurie and a sea of young people descend on sunny Southern California to redefine truth through all means of liberation. Inadvertently, Laurie meets a charismatic street preacher and a pastor who open the doors to a church to a stream of wandering youth. What unfolds is a counterculture movement that becomes the greatest spiritual awakening in American history.

I have always said that for a movie about faith and spirituality has to be really well done to hook me because of the limits on my faith and spirituality.  The one did just that.  I was very interested in the stories of several characters.   I was definitely hooked an invested and at several points made me think about being more religious or spiritual . . . . . . for a little while.

I would surprisingly recommend that people check this out.  It was a good story with a couple of character arcs that you get hooked by.

Fear

A weekend vacation turns sinister when a group of friends must confront their worst fears one by one.

This was basically your textbook January throwaway horror movie.   Takes way too long to get going because its building a bunch of characters that you honestly don't care about.  It's somewhat cool once it gets there but you will basically forget about the movie the day after you watched it.  

I wouldn't recommend anyone really bothering with this.  The recent horror movies had a pretty good run but this is definitely one of those textbook throwaway January horror releases that we have become accustomed to.

Cocaine Bear

After a 500-pound black bear consumes a significant amount of cocaine and embarks on a drug-fueled rampage, an eccentric gathering of cops, criminals, tourists, and teenagers assemble in a Georgia forest.

There are really only two words to describe this movie.   CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE.  There is nothing that I find more entertaining then an excellent guilty pleasure movie.  A movie that makes fun of itself and doesn't take itself seriously while being entertaining as hell.   This was exactly that.  You knew it from the trailer that created crazy buzz and you feel it the whole time the movie is on.  I know in advance that I will be watching this movie several times in my lifetime.  

I would absolutely recommend people checking this out.  Kind of violent at times but so much fun.  I definitely see this showing up on my Top 10 list at the end of the year.

Magic Mike's Last Dance

Mike Lane takes to the stage once again when a business deal that went bust leaves him broke and bartending in Florida. Hoping for one last hurrah, Mike heads to London with a wealthy socialite who lures him with an offer he can't refuse -- and an agenda all her own. With everything on the line, he soon finds himself trying to whip a hot new roster of talented dancers into shape.

I am not really sure what to make of this movie.   It felt like it didn't even really fit in with the other's except for like two scenes.   The opening dance scene with Tatum and a zoom call with guys from the other movies.  Outside of that this was pretty much a different stand alone movie that was more about the Salma Hayek character that just kind of used the Magic Mike franchise name.  

I wouldn't really recommend that anyone bother with this.  I wasn't really expecting much from this but I was expecting better than this.  The first two movies were actually pretty enjoyable (and funny) movies if you could get past the male stripping stuff.  This one?  Not so much.

Infinity Pool

Guided by a seductive and mysterious woman, a couple on vacation venture outside the resort grounds and find themselves in a culture filled with violence, hedonism and untold horror. A tragic accident soon leaves them facing a zero tolerance policy for crime: either you'll be executed, or, if you're rich enough to afford it, you can watch yourself die instead.

This was another one of those artsy gory movies.  I wouldn't remotely say that it was scary at any point but it was like a twisted and artsier version of the Purge with much more gore.  I never know how to fully feel about artsy gore or horror movies.  It just feels kind of weird.  Mia Goth has really become the queen of these kinds of movies at this point though.  

I would sort of recommend people seeing this.  It's not a must see by any means.  It is disturbing and keeps your attention but is a pretty great watch even though the artsy edge to it makes it weird.
