Bird Box (2018)
It's "The Happening" with blindfolds.
I don't know about A Quiet Place, but this is a lot like The Happening, except in that movie you understand why the event took place, no matter how far fetched it is. That to me is no problem 99% of the time, but I was left just angry at how awful this movie really is after finishing it.
*Spoilers* I can handle not knowing why or how the event took place, but you can't make any sense out of what they actually do give you either. You have these powerful beings that can either turn you into one of them or make you commit suicide, this can happen through a camera lens digitally fed to a monitor, but the entity can't go into buildings unless the shades are up! Bullock and her new default significant other manage to survive while raising two children. The children cannot have names because that would lessen their chances of survival somehow. The entity knows where they are the entire time yet lets them carry on like this for 5 years, until one day when it doesn't and attacks them, Rhodes doesn't make it. So Bullock and the nameless children go on a 40+ hour boat ride down a treacherous river blindfolded the whole time towards what they can only hope is a safe haven. After reaching the woods and being separated this is the moment the 5 year old girl who is by herself decides that no, she's not going to let Bullock find her cause she had been too strict with her survival tactics. Finally with the evil entity bearing down on the 3 of them they manage to make it to safety, which is a school for the blind. Of course! The evil can't attack blind people! How in the hell will these people eat, who knows... the end.
Just ridiculous in every way. There is a lot more mindless filler I left out, so if you read this and can get past all that, then maybe you can figure this one out better than me.

That's My Boy (2012)
"That's My Boy" does not deserve lingering hate from Jack and Jill
This is the funniest movie Sandler has done in a long time, simple as that. I get that people were PO'd about Jack and Jill, and I'm no fanboy of Adam Sandler.. it was incredibly bad. The ratings and reviews of this movie seem to me like lingering hate from that, or from people that gave up on him long ago. Maybe I'm wrong, either way I doubt that anyone who liked his earlier stuff or Grandmas Boy, Hall Pass, The Hangover, Horrible Bosses etc.. wont' like this.
The cast varied greatly from many well known actors and actresses to current top stars and new faces, they all played their parts really well.
Adam Sandler has redeemed himself, That's My Boy is hilarious.

Fat Head (2009)
Informative, and thought provoking
If you're the type of person that cares at all about what you're eating, I think it's important that you see this documentary. With that being said, you do have to suffer through some dry humor and shoddy 'animation' if you could call it that.
Basically, the premise of this documentary is to show that Morgan Spurlock's 'Super Size Me' is not only wrong in it's direction, but also in it's basis for conclusion. However, Tom Naughton takes this film much further than that. He goes on to show how the CDC has trumped up the numbers regarding the 'obesity pandemic' in the US, and how easily some of our preconceived notions about nutrition are wrong... and why. Those 3 things set the tone, the rest is playful banter with folks in and around restaurants and fast food joints. Sometimes it gets a bit redundant, regardless, the facts presented overwhelm this films shortcomings.
As a person who has struggled with being overweight off and on for 2/3 of my life, this film has taught me to challenge certain things about nutrition we've all been taught from childhood on.

The Virginity Hit (2010)
Underrated, under appreciated, and misunderstood.
This is my first review, I've grown a habit out of checking the ratings/comments on IMDb after every movie I watch...I'm familiar with the site enough to know that some films are unfairly rated, this one takes the cake.
Reading some of the reviews on this makes me wonder if they had even seen a preview of the movie before they watched it. I knew beforehand this was going to be a goofy movie, that's why I wanted to see it. The actors played their roles well, the supporting character 'Zach' had me laughing constantly, and overall I was impressed with how real it felt. It really brought me back to a time when I didn't care about much besides getting high, getting laid and being with friends. The only part about the movie that was off was when they decided to hire a porn star to sleep with 'Matt'. Other than that, the story was fairly believable.
I don't think I really need to go into it more than that, I can't imagine someone seeing the previews to this and expecting something other than what it is. This one is worth the watch in my opinion.
