Matthew McConaughey plays what is a bit of a different role... and look for him. We are use to Matthew being a well dressed debonair guy, needless to say that wasn't what he was in this movie. While certainly not the best of his movies, it has its moments.
This movie was pretty enjoyable, one of the better movies of the year. Plenty of twist and turns kept things interesting and James McAvoy performance is spot on, you'd almost think he was as crazy as his character is.
Most people either love or hate Tom Cruise, I for the most part have liked most of his movies. This sequel to the first Jack Reacher movie is a good follow up in my opinion. It has a decent story and a good amount of action to keep things interesting. I couldn't say it was the best movie that Cruise has ever made but for most people it will be worth watching.
When dealing with 'based on true events' movie (or TV for that matter), there is always going to be some "Hollywooding" up of what happened, in other words they add/change things. I think for the most part that this movie is reasonably accurate in what happened that day and in the days that followed... the use of actual video from cell phones and security cameras helped to bring that feel of authenticity to the movie. Mark Wahlberg did a good job in the lead role, the supporting cast did a pretty good job too.
Honestly I haven't seen this movie in probably a few decades but for $4.99, I couldn't pass up buying it. The old Godzilla movies from way back when were some of the cheesiest monster movies ever made but still kind of fun, definitely something that we'd see pop up on Mystery Science 3000 at some point.
Although this movie will probably never be anyone's favorite movie ever, it for the most part wasn't a bad movie. The special effects... the ship in particular... were really nicely done and having 2 of the biggest stars out there right now didn't hurt either. The movie does offer an interesting question, what would you do if you were put in a situation like our hero was.... do you wake the other person up and probably doom them to a lonely death or do you leave them asleep and doom yourself to a lonely death? For our hero it worked out probably as it should of.
We've all seen are share of movies about war, this one is a bit different than most as its about someone that refused to pick up a gun. I'm honestly not the biggest fan of Andrew Garfield, most of the roles I've seen him in I've found him to be annoying... particularly in the Spider Man movies, those movies should of been called the Annoying Spider Man. However, in this movie Garfield gives a great performance and I can wholeheartedly recommend it.
If you had asked me 20 years ago who some of my favorite actors would be, Mark Wahlberg would not of been one of them.... I have to concede though that I definitely have enjoyed the majority of his roles although his music career left something to be desired as far as I'm concerned. Deepwater Horizon is of course based on the BP oil spill of a few years ago, the cast does an outstanding job here which is to be expected considering some of the people they have in this movie
This collection contains all six episodes from the first season of Fear the Walking Dead, a zombie drama from the creators of The Walking Dead. The series view the zombie apocalypse from the perspective of high school guidance counselor Madison (Kim Dickens), her English teacher boyfriend Travis (Cliff Curtis), and her children, the drug-addicted Nick (Frank Dillane) and straight-A student Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey).
At some point all the Walking Dead fans likely wondered how the zombie apocalypse started and now we get to find out. I haven't watched the whole season yet but what I've seen has been decent although I do prefer the original series.

I've been looking to upgrade the Sirius receiver that I had had in my vehicle for awhile and when I found this item in one of BB flash sales, I knew I'd found my new receiver. Granted its not the top of the line unit available and reality is that I didn't need top of the line... this unit fulfills the needs I had which mainly was being able to save more stations. So far the unit has worked great and I've had no issues.
