  Knives Out     This movie was one of the best murder mystery movies but there were some things that held it back. One thing that I really liked about this movie is how analytical it was. Several instances, the detective it making a lot of hypothetical accusations and you don't even think about these things when watching the movie. Another thing that I liked is how it was different from most murder mysteries. Many of these movies have several deaths and the killer is rampaging. This movie has one kill and then the rest is detective work which adds to the movie.     Some things hold the movie back from being insane. The first is how we already know who the killer is. We know the whole entire story already but then we have to watch the detective try to uncover the truth. It is not as fun for the viewers to watch. I could compare this to watching a video that is five minutes of yapping with three seconds of information. Another thing I didn't like is a lot of this was about famil

  Tag      This movie was awesome. The movie was also based off a true story about a friend group who played a game of tag for 20+ years. The movie was enjoyable to watch since it was not slow. This show was the more entertaining and cinematic version of the tv show ultimate tag.  The ending revealing that Hoagie was going to die soon and that this was the last year to try and tag Jerry for the first time in 30 years made the whole movie have a deeper meaning. This movie is a strong reminder that nothing lasts forever and that we should cherish our friendships and memories. This movie makes me wish I had a friend group like this but it will probably never happen unless I meet some true characters in college. This movie was good and I would recommend it to some people. This movie was not a super action filled movie. It was more of a comedy movie.

  The Blind Side      This movie was AMAZING! The movie is based on a true story. It is about a boy who was poor and got adopted by a wealthy family and went on to play in the NFL.         This movie was very sad but the emotions and the constant up and downs made this movie great. I have watched this several times already and I love the storyline and every time I watch it, I make more connections and understand the movie more. I think it is truly amazing what hard work can achieve. Homeless kid to professional football player is amazing. I also think that the casting was fabulous for this movie. I looked up some pictures of the real life people and when I say the casting was on point, I mean it was on point. The mother in the movie looks almost identical to the real person.     I think this is one of the best sports movies ever created. It will not top Miracle but it is definitely top 5 sports movies in my opinion. I would highly recommend this movie to a peer.

American Assassin     This movie was very good. The movie meets my criteria of what I liked to watch. The movie starts out with a shooting by terrorists on a beach. This is a really well made scene because it felt realistic. There are several terrorists with guns shooting people while they are running away. During camera shooting, we see bodies just falling constantly. This scene was down low and in the POV of the victims which added to the intensity of the scene. In this scene, Mitch was looking frantically for his girlfriend when we see her get shot and killed. This drives the plot for the rest of the movie.     After Mitch's girlfriend is killed, he seeks revenge like all main characters in these movies do. This movie portrays human emotions very well and how we deal with grief. We see mitch throwing knives at a picture of the terrorist leader and shooting guns at targets. He also is doing MMA combat. The amount of time and dedication he puts to training so he can kill all the t
