I’ve never done this before: currently sitting in the theater to see a movie, except I have no idea what I’m going to watch! Hope it’s good, whatever it is…

Well, my cinematic weakness is found footage movies. I like them all too much, so don’t take that as an endorsement of Gallows. But no, you don’t need to see Mummy…
It’s not a Mummy movie. It’s Exorcist: Egypt. And most of it takes place in New Mexico. It’s really stupid, don’t bother.
193 The Glass House
A dumb horror movie about two orphans who go to live with a new couple. It doesn't go so well for them as one might expect. Leelee is good, but the rest is not.

192 Forget Me Not
A terrible movie, but the premise and ideas are incredibly interesting. As the killer takes people out, no one remembers them- except our main character. Interesting but done poorly.

191 The Gorge
Two opposing sides cover a big hole in the ground. They aren't supposed to talk to each other, but of course they do. They fall in and reveal the hell within. Not good, but a lot of fun!

190 Veronica Mars
I've never seen the show, but I was hooked immediately. A woman with a history of being a jr. detective has another case she needs to solve. Didn't understand the flashbacks but had a good time none the less.

189 Lego Star Wars: The Padawan Menace
Ok, I guess I have officially aged out of this type of garbage. It's only 22 minutes but feels interminable. Dumb jokes about Star Wars and Legos. No thanks.

188 Fackam Hall
A Naked Gun style parody of Downton Abbey. Joke a minute, and about half of them land. Some real LOL stuff that plays with the format and stuffy expectations. Very funny!

187 F1: The Movie
A fun good ol' fashioned movie. Racing scenes were great, and Pitt is riveting as always. The whole 'play by our own rules' was a bit overdone but loved the ride none the less.

186 Joe
Nicolas Cage plays a broken man who leads a construction team. He takes under his wing a young man abused by his alcoholic father. Good atmosphere and Cage is fantastic. Decent story.

185 Gold
Matthew McConaughey plays a man obsessed with finding gold. Throwing everything away, like a maniac, to reach his goal. Good story and acting. Impressed with the dedication off and on screen. I liked it.

184 The Hot Chick
It pains me to say it, but this one is actually pretty good. Surprisingly funny and open minded. McAdams is always amazing, and Schneider somehow holds his own.

183 The Drama *
If someone revealed their past, is there anything they could say that would make you fall out of love with them? Zendaya & Pattinson shine. The central reveal isn't dealt with reasonably, but still compelling.

182 Drink and Be Merry
A sad bar on Christmas Eve. The bartender, stuck and lonely, must come to terms with his stunted life or make a change. Well-made and filmed, more vibes than story.

181 Heights
A play about relationships, shocking, I know! Love played out in different ways through a New York Lense. Open relationships don't end well, and new love becomes more than expected. Meh.

180 Hatchet
Bad horror movie about a deformed killer in the swamps. Not sure how this gorefest became a cult classic, but it's not very good. Absolutely terrible ending- just stops mid scene! Effects are impressive though.

179 The Seat Filler
Generic rom-com about an unemployed loser who lies to a successful pop princess about who he is. And we are supposed to be ok with it because he's the guy and cute. You know, so all is forgiven and they fall in love. Garbage.

178 They Will Kill You*
Looney Tunes version of a satanic horror movie. Our hero, Zazie Beets, finds herself in a hotel filled with Satan worshipers, and she's next on the sacrifice list. Absurd action & twists- a lot of silly fun!

177 The Pajama Game
1957 musical comedy starring Doris Day. The workers at a Pajama making sweatshop want to unionize for a farer wage. The songs are ok, but Day's yelling instead of singing hurts the whole thing.

176 Dog Soldiers
British action horror movie about a bunch of soldiers on a training mission to a rural town in the woods. Things go sideways pretty quick when werewolves show up! Impressive, gritty, and thrilling. Fantastic creature effects.

175 Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice
Time travel action comedy. All the parts are there: its clever, well written, game actors, and well directed. There's just something missing to pull it all together. Fun but flat. Parts are better than it's whole.

174 Override
Starts as an A.I. love story, but gets complicated by reality TV and the vice president's son. An interesting story but not very well told. Liked Luke Goss in it though.

173 Luckiest Man in America
True story of a man who figured out how to beat the TV game show Press Your Luck. Paul Walter Hauser is great, but the film falls flat in the execution. Could have been interesting, but its just ok.

172 Fist of Legend
Jet Li plays a student whose teacher was killed. He must make things right in the Japanese occupied Shanghai. He, of course, is perfect and basically a superhero, so it's not too hard. Great action, but a little eyerollingly predictable.

171 Echoes of War
Set during the Civil War, a family tries to stand up to its neighbors when they try to take advantage of them. Well-acted and beautifully shot, it's got a poetic slow quality that points to more under the surface.

170 The Last Wave
Interesting story of a foreign-born lawyer trying to help 2 aboriginal men arrested for a murder. Compelling look at tribal life and it's push back against modern Australian influences. Well made.
