Best Movies Of The Year 2019

This year of movies ended up turning out way better than I expected. The last few years I have been seeing less and less of them and not because tickets cost too damn much but because there is so much better shit coming out on subscription services and good movies are coming out few and far between. This is my list of the Best Movies Of The Year 2019. Or BMOTY. You can click here and see what they were for previous years if you feel like it. There for sure will be movies you see on here that you absolutely hated, had no desire to see, or just thought was okay. I gathered movies that I rated an 8 or higher. There were none past 10 this year. Yeah. That's a thing I do sometimes. Its obnoxious. I will also be doing a Worst Movies Of The Year in a day or so. Also, each title has a link to the original blog post.

The Review: Inside Man

Inside Man 9/10

A few days ago I decided to watch the movie Inside Man. I have only seen this one time previously and liked it a lot considering it is a Spike Lee movie. It is my favorite from him because it doesn't feel like one even though he does that stupid camera trick at one point. This movie is a great cat and mouse game where neither one of the characters is quite a cat or a mouse. Just when one thinks they have the answer the damn question gets changed. This guy named Dalton Russell introduces himself to the camera explaining that is committed the perfect robbery. He and his team all going by variations of the name Steve dressing as bug killers and locking up the bank. Though the lead robber is polite and will only beat that ass if you seriously get out of line they do make everyone strip and put on the outfits they are wearing and set them up in different rooms. They do this cool thing where the movie is cut with interviews with the people who were held hostage.

The Review: 6 Underground

6 Underground 7/10

Spoilers! I decided to watch 6 Underground because it looked insane and full of explosions and that is exactly what it was. I read some reviews bashing it because that is the thing to do when it comes to Michael Bay movies. Some people said they could not understand the plot and I am gonna guess because you can watch this at home and people probably checked their phones every five seconds or wrote about it online as they watched which means you're not actually watching, you fucking freaks! Put your phone down and watch things! Okay. So I watched it and enjoyed the fuck out of this. It starts off with a man known as One who is rich as shit and gets a team together to help the world...by killing hundreds of people. I would love to know the body count in this. This image defines this movie.

The Review: Watchmen Episode 9

Watchman Episode 9 Finale: See How They Fly 10/10

The Watchmen series was perfect. But first let me recap this which managed to answer all the questions and show so damn much within an hour. This was an insane ass hour of television. This episode takes place over multiple points in time like previous ones so again I can not describe the in a linear way. It starts off showing Lady Trieu's mother in Veidt's office breaking into his computer and stealing some of his man gravy that he has been saving and replacing it with lotion. She injects it into herself answering the question as to who her father is. Veidt meanwhile is making the recording to the future president explaining his plan to release that giant squid over New York. 

Attack The Crock: American Gods

I'm not one to usually get down with people airing their grievances online, particularly public figures, but in this case it is so ridiculous that I have to write something about it. I watched the entire first season of American Gods and really liked it for the most part. It had its problems with it feeling rushed but I liked it. Episode seven was garbage but that isn't what this is about. I read the book again after watching the series and in hindsight I would rate the show much lower because the book could have been four to five seasons of a great show. I don't even know what they have done with season two and what they plan for season three. One thing not planned is the return of Orlando Jones as Mr. Nancy.

The Review: The Last Black Man In San Francisco

The Last Black Man In San Francisco 9/10

Its almost the end of the year and I am trying to watch as many more movies as I can before the end of the year and Cam and I do our yearly Chocket Awards. A few years back I had already made my lists and everything and then a week later saw like two more movies that would've easily made my lists of favorites. This movie, The Last Black Man In San Francisco, is one of those movies. I had heard of it but knew nothing about it. This movie felt like a play and I mean that in a good way because I love going to plays and saw four this year. This is about a guy named Jimmie who hangs out with his friend Montgomery around San Francisco. They do pretty much the same thing every day including being harassed by the same group of guys. They bus it to this old house that was owned by his grandfather that is now occupied by an older couple. Jimmie just shows up and starts painting the house and making changes. The couple don't want it but he still shows up. One day he finds out that the couple have left and he and Mont just move on in. 

The Review: Venom

Venom 0/10

Venom is such a bad movie that even musicians I like have wack songs on the soundtrack. That's how bad it is. I knew this movie was bad before I started watching it. I said I wouldn't watch it the same way I said I wouldn't see Aquaman or X-Men Dark Phoenix but I always end up seeing this terrible shit. I can't think of anything good to say about this movie. The story was stupid. The effects. The acting was all over the damn place. No one reacted the way someone would in any of the situations they were in. Okay, I should talk about this shit before I lose my mind.

The Review: Dead Man's Line

Dead Man's Line 6/10

I found this crazy ass documentary that came out last year called Dead Man's Line. This is about a hostage situation that happened in Indianapolis in February of 1977. Tony Kiritsis took Richard Hall hostage for 63 hours. Since this took place in '77 there are cameras and audio of everything that went down. Kiritsis was upset because he was falling behind on payments on real estate and thought that Hall and his father wanted the property for themselves. He attached a wire around Hall's neck connected to a shotgun pressed to the back of his head and if he were killed the gun would go off. I shit you not, I have never heard of this incident ever in my life or heard someone as high on themselves as Kiritsis was. I am shocked that he never spread his arms and declared himself a god among men. While holding Hall hostage he also wired his place to explode. It also turned out that he did this same gun technique on his own sister a few years prior. How was this guy free?!

The Review: Watchmen Episode 8

Episode 8: A God Walks Into Abar

Every damn week I sit here and say that each new episode is the best one and that trend continues this week. This episode jumps all over the place through multiple time periods, people, and planets so I am not gonna even sit here and try to recap it in a linear way because the episode is not linear. It starts off in 2009 and Angela is sitting in a bar having a drink. Doctor Manhattan shows up walking down the street after a parade in his honor and picks up a mask and puts it on. He walks into the bar and sits with Angela and asks her to go to dinner with him. He also tells her that he is Doctor Manhattan and she says that is bad since she says him killing for the US during Vietnam created the man that decided to blow her parents up as a child and this night is the anniversary of their deaths. He apologizes and begins to drive her crazy because he is experiencing the past, present, and future all at the same time. He mentions that they will get married, have adopted children, and how they will break up but get back together and have ten wonderful years that end in tragedy.

The Review: Coherence

Coherence 4/10

This movie Coherence was aggravating. This will be full of spoilers because I can not complain without spoiling things. A group of friends that don't really seem like friends at all have a dinner party. They spend a lot of time riffing and it feels like nothing was written well and people are talking over one another trying to “get their shit in.” The power goes out and everyone freaks out and lights candles and grab glow sticks. There are weird notes left on the door as someone inside is still writing that same note. Oh, I forgot to mention a comet flew by. That happened. No phones and no internet. They all head outside and see that all the lights are out on the street except for one other house. Two dudes leave and eventually come back. Oh lord. I have having trouble even trying to explain this. People drink that shouldn't be drinking. People start worrying about shit that can wait till tomorrow because way too much freaky shit is happening like the fact that the house down the street has copies of themselves inside. Yeah, I get it. Ex is here. Fuck that. There are clones!

The Review: Watchmen Episode 7

Episode 7: An Almost Religious Awe

This is gonna be full of spoilers. This episode was crazy as hell and I feel like I say that every time I watch this show. There are only two more episodes so go but thankfully every weird question I have had has been answered even though they are making even more. Like the elephant. I need to know about that elephant soon! So Laurie is checking in on Judd's wife Jane and letting her know about the Cyclops and how Judd may have had some connection to the Kalvary. She recording a bunch of stuff Angela said while knocked out from the Nostalgia. At first his wife acts surprised before flipping the switch and pressing a button. Laurie stares at her like “What the hell are you doing?” her chairs drops into the floor and she vanishes. Jane places a call and Laurie wakes up in a bunker with Keene who reveals that they plan on turning themselves into Dr. Manhattan's. The fuck?! Oh, before all this Petey was at Looking Glass' house and found a bunch of dead Kalvary members so that's cool.
