The Martian
When I heard that Matt Damon would be playing astronaut Mark Watney, I thought he was perfectly cast. I knew he could portray a guy who could figure out how to survive on his own, while also being able to show the emotional effect it would have on a...

The Good Shepherd
Fictional account of how the CIA was born through the eyes of a man, showing how it affected his family and friends. I blame Robert De Niro. There were some interesting plot points in the movie, yet the way they were presented and dragged out was so incredibly...

The Departed
Leonardo DiCaprio is an undercover cop in a mob gang run by Jack Nicholson. Matt Damon is a mole in the police department working for the mob, trying to figure out who is the undercover cop. This movie is long, but involved. I can’t think of any way for...
Syriana
Middle Eastern thriller about oil drilling and American big business. While watching this movie, it reminded me a lot of Traffic. There were a lot of story lines going on that were all related to the overall plot of the movie, but not all the characters interacted with one...
The Brothers Grimm
The Brothers Grimm pull scams on local towns by killing mythical creatures until they run up against an actual evil that isn’t them. The movie has Terry Gilliam’s trademark goofiness that is present in his films. Sometimes, it is just there a little bit and sometimes it is the...
Stuck on You
Farrelly brothers comedy about two co-joined twins, Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear. I am not a Farrelly brothers fan, even though I have seen most of their movies. I hardly ever laugh at them, so take this lovely review with a grain of salt if you think they are...
Ocean’s Twelve
All the people are back, plus Brad Pitt’s ex-girlfriend, and need to commit a robbery in Europe. I read the reviews about how it looked like the cast was having fun but didn’t let anyone else in on it. I thought the movie was pretty similar to the first...
