Straight Outta Compton (2015)

 This movie was watched on December 30th 2023.

First off I would like to say I really love the pace of this movie.

The guys that played each member of the group did an amazing job and I can't believe how much the guy that played Ice Cube actually looks like Ice Cube.

It was pretty cool kind of see how they Rose to fame and everything that they had to go through and I really loved the role Paul Giamatti played as Jerry.

It shows to this day why this music is so influential and it shows during this movie as well I would definitely watch this movie again and recommend for anybody to watch it and I would give it a 9 out of 10 or 4 out of 5 stars and I will see you all in the next review.

Jobs (2013)

This movie was watched on December 30th 2023.

At first I was skeptical about Ashton Kutcher playing Steve Jobs but I think he was perfectly picked for the role and the more I looked at Ashton the more he did look like jobs.

I really enjoyed the music throughout the whole entire movie as well.

The movie was done very very well and so is the cinematography and I think the runtime for the movie is just perfect.

The movies cast all did a very good job I especially enjoyed how well Kutcher portrayed jobs so we could all see what life was like at apple.

The rest of the cast also did an amazing job in there roles I especially enjoyed the role that Josh gad played.

I really enjoyed the movie and would definitely watch it again if I was in the mood to watch a biography esque movie and would recommend it also.

I rate the movie 7 out of 10 or 3 out of 5 stars and I will see you all in the next review.

Goals

As we get into the start of 2024 there are always a few things that I would like to work on so I guess you could call these New Year's resolutions but I don't see them as that I see them as goals for the year.

There are a couple to a few things that I am going to focus on this year to help better improve my physical health and my mental health so that I can be around for a long time especially for my family.

So let's get into what these goals are for 2024 and I will be going into a little bit of detail of why I am choosing these goals.

So the first goal has to deal with that first timer up in the top right corner as I have decided to officially quit smoking but my goal is I need to find things to replace the old habit obviously quitting this habit is definitely good for my physical health and mental health as I have struggled with quitting smoking for the last few years especially since I started smoking when I was 16 years old and I just turned 40 in December but I am also doing this goal because obviously I need to quit for my physical health but I also want to quit it because it's an expensive habit. That's all I can think for for this goal.

My next goal is to start eating better and to lose weight because I am definitely overweight because I am 6'1 389 lb and that is definitely not healthy so I want to start eating healthier meals and finding ways to work out other than just walking everywhere since I am not able to get a gym membership and I guess I could definitely write about my weight loss Journey on here when I decide to start it and I have actually kind of started the process already because my primary care physician recommended me for non-surgical weight loss and I'm going to fall through with it this time as I will try to track everything I eat with a site like MyFitnessPal and that's it for this goal.

I would say this goal is kind of embarrassing but I need to be accountable for myself I am not the cleanest person on planet Earth and if you entered my apartment you would say how can you live like this and you would think I would not be able to live on my own but this is where I'm going to teach myself to keep my apartment clean and smelling good and definitely get on a cleaning schedule for my apartment because nobody else is responsible for the mess in this apartment other than me and I am the one that has to take care of it. And that's all for this goal but it kind of leans into the next one

My next goal kind of leans into the goal above like I said and that is to become a lot more organized and to know where everything is at all times so when I start getting a cleaning regiment or I do laundry or whatever the chore may be I'm going to organize everything instead of just putting stuff say in a drawer or just leave the stuff in my laundry basket or when I have trash I need to take it out or if I have dishes in the think I need to do them Etc because like I said above I am not the cleanest person in the world and that is definitely going to change and that is all for this goal.

I think that's all the goals for now so I hope everybody has an amazing year and I hope everybody reaches all their goals and don't be afraid to chase your dreams I will see you all in the next one

Blood Diamond (2006)

 this movie was watched on December 29th 2023.

This has been one of the best Leonardo DiCaprio movies I've seen in a while and the guy that played Solomon did an amazing job as well and so did Connolly.

I really love DiCaprio's accent in this movie.

The movie with taste very very well considering it has a run time of 2 hours and 23 minutes.

The action in this movie was pretty amazing as well and I would definitely watch this movie again and recommend it I would give this an 8 out of 10 or 4 out of five stars and I will see you all in the next review

The Departed (2006)

 

This movie was watched on December 29th 2023.

I am not going to lie I did not realize how it started the cast was for this movie and it was a surprise to see Anthony Anderson in the movie as well.

I really love Jack Nicholson in this role.

I will like to say though I think the flip phone thing was getting annoying after a little while the only issue I had with this movie also is it played like I was reading an audiobook.

Leonardo DiCaprio was really good in this role as well so with Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon and everybody else did well with their roles as well.

This is a very good movie and I will watch it again sometime in the future so I do recommend everybody to watch it at least once in their life and I would give the movie a solid 8 out of 10 or 3 out of 5 stars.

And I will see you all in the next review

John Wick Chapter 3: ParaBellum

 This movie was watched on December 24th 2023.

The action fights to start this movie was just amazing especially the knives scene.

It was a surprise to see Halle Berry in the movie as she does look really good.

The fight scenes of this movie are amazing but I feel throughout the whole series they basically use the same fight scene moves. But as far as the first three movies go I will definitely watch these again in the future because the movies were amazing and I feel out of the first three that I watched this one had the best action fight scenes in my opinion I also can't imagine how much physical energy it took to film these movies. And like I said before Keanu Reeves was the only person perfect for this role I personally think nobody else could have done it better.

I do recommend this movie if you have not ever seen it before and I would give it a 8 out of 10 and a four out of five stars and I will see you all in the next review which will either be The Departed or Blood Diamond.
