Just watched Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation. Despite the fact that I haven't watched any of the Mission Impossible movies, it was a pretty fun action movie.
The Search for General Tso
If you like Chinese food, or what is actually Chinese-American food, this documentary may make you hungry. It explores the origins of General Tso's chicken and how the famous dish made its way to the United States in the 20th century. One of the better food documentaries out there.
My most recent movie was the original Night of the Living Dead (1968). It's a real five star classic that everyone should see at some point in their life.
Prisoners; it's a movie about a guy who's kid gets kidnapped. In return he kidnapps and tortures the suspect who turns out to be innocent. The father then ends up getting kidnapped by the suspect's aunt and put in a hole in the ground. The end.
Ant-Man, seriously. I swear, the only reason they made the movie was to make toys. I was so disappointed, people gave it good reviews, but I realized it was only because Adam Sandler could have replaced Paul Rudd.
I just saw John Wick and it was pretty great. Keanu Reeves was really engaging as a deadly assassin and the dog was so cute and adorable, so it was a real tearjerker when he/she died. I also thought the action scenes were good, too. They were really smooth and easy to follow, but still very entertaining. John Wick: B
I also saw Ong-Bak and it was better than John Wick. The action scenes were entertaining, but there wasn't a lot of character development, and I wanted to get to know a little more about the main character. A good martial arts film, but I root for The Raid. Ong-Bak: B
The last movie I saw in theaters was Ant-Man in 3D. It was a funny and enticing entry into the MCU that had plenty of humor, great special effects (especially in 3D) and a fight IN A BRIEFCASE. However, a generic psycho villain and the filler with Scott and Hope's relationship are just some of the flaws in this summer flick. But worth going to the theater for, and man, that CGI de-aged Michael Douglas. Ant-Man in 3D: B+
No offensive but you must be a poster boy for the world's simpletons.
John Wick is most effing stupid, plotless, pointless, poorly acted movie since Dodgeball: An Underdog True Story.
I swear to God in heaven that I laughed out loud during some scenes because the acting was so bad. Saying that John Wick is a good action movie is like saying that Saw is a good comedy movie
Keanu Reeves was really engaging
Keanu Reeves is living, breathing, walking, proof that someone can completely suck at something (acting in this case) yet achieve stellar success. I feel half giddy and half naush.

Keanu Reeves isn't a good actor at all, but his inability to play emotions often works to his advantage when playing cold, emotionless characters. He still hasn't played a character that has topped role his in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, but he plays an idiot in that one so that might never happen.

@SportShark there are worse actors, like said, he plays heartless roles well. Trust me, you exaggerate his inability to display human emotions on the big screen. One example of a big movie with a terrible actor as the main role would be Star Wars: Episode II & III. Now that was cringy as hell.
I haven't seen the new F4 reboot, but I did just see an interview excerpt where the black actor that plays Johnny Storm said that they wanted to be true to the original comic. Ladies and gentlemen, BEHOLD. This is the true definition of irony.
I'm rewatching The Avengers on tv right now. The novelty of watching it theaters the first time really downplayed just how bad the chemistry is between some of these actors. At least Hulk is actually enjoyable in it, which is more than can be said of any of his solo movies.
