Week fourteen included some fun and intense movies. New Captain America was amazing and Cheap Thrills recommended to me by my friend John is still on my mind almost a week later.
Below are my movies of the week:
March
30
Bad Words (Directed by Jason Bateman) This
is one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time. It is funny for all
the wrong reasons but it does make me wish I could turn off my filter at times
when talking to some people.
Magic Mike (Directed by Steven
Soderbergh) After being on my DVR for almost an entire year I finally got
around to watching this movie. For some reason I didn't think it would be as
good as it turned out to be. I have been a big fan of Soderbergh since the
Ocean's trilogy and he didn't disappoint here.
Zodiac (Directed by David Fincher) I
really enjoy investigative thrillers like this movie. The entire cast was also
fun to watch as they interacted with one another. I never knew much about the
Zodiac killer until I was in my late teens and early twenty's.
March
31
Doctor Dolittle (Directed by Betty
Thomas) I am ashamed to admit that this was the first thing I found on HBO Go
that caught my interest so I had to watch it. I don't know why. It is a stupid
movie but for some reason my brain decided that it had to be watched.
Cheap Thrills (Directed by E.L. Katz) This
movie is crazy and I am sure will give me nightmares in the near future. the
ending was predictable but how they get to it is a fun adventure. My friend John
kept telling me to watch this for 2-3 weeks.

Days. 60 Total Movies in March
April
1
Stripes (Directed by Ivan Reitman) Thank
you Netflix for adding this movie to your streaming service. I have been
looking for my DVD copy since Harold Ramis passed away with no luck. There are
so many fun moments throughout this movie and I never get tired of watching it.
April
2
Predator (Directed by John McTiernan) Not
nearly as creepy as the first Alien movie but this movie makes up for it with
being so intense. The different characters and their mannerisms are hilarious
to watch, especially Jesse Ventura.
April 3
After the Sunset (Directed by Brett
Ratner) This is a fun little crime caper made that much more enjoyable by Salma
Hayek. Pierce Brosnan and Woody Harrelson play really well off one another. At
times it was a little hard to keep track of who was the good guy and who was
the bad guy.
April
4
xXx: State of the Union (Directed by Lee
Tamahori) This sequel was not nearly as fun as the original. I usually enjoy
Ice Cube but I just didn't fully buy him as XXX. Vin Diesel was definitely a
better XXX. I’m still hoping they give us another sequel with Vin again.
nWo: The Revolution (Directed by Kevin
Dunn) This is the first documentary that I have watched on WWE Network but it
won't be the last one for sure. I remember when the N.W.O. first got started
and how it changed professional wrestling forever.
Space Jam (Directed by Joe Pytka) When
they announced Space Jam 2 a month or so ago I was very scared. Space Jam is a
classic from my childhood and making a sequel with LeBron James is not
something I want to ever see. Thankfully this movie is still enjoyable even
though I am much older now.
April

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (Directed by Anthony Russo & Joe Russo)
This movie is proof that Marvel knows exactly what they are doing with the
Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was just over two hours long and I would have enjoyed
another hour without hesitation.
A League of Their Own (Directed by Penny
Marshall) Had I been able to fit another movie in to my Tom Hanks movie
marathon last Thanksgiving it would have been this one. When I saw it was
available on Netflix I knew I had to watch it as soon as possible.
21 (Directed by Robert Luketic) This
movie was predictable from beginning to end. I like the cast but I was really
hoping for a twist or turn at least once. Sadly it went straight from the book
the entire time which was disappointing.
