Before I Fall - Somewhat bizarre teen take on Groundhog's Day. Not sure I entirely cared for it, but I did like Zoey Deutch's performance. - 5 / 10

Shocked at how much I enjoyed this and it's a huge improvement over Vengeance.

Ready Player One - Just about loved everything about this.

The cultural references never felt forced, and they served the plot-well. The scavenger hunt plot in particular reminded me a lot of The Goonies, which I dug, and the film really gave me a sense of fun and whimsy. Not to mention the soundtrack was great. Plus for a 2 and a half hour film, it went by relatively fast.

8 / 10 - Hail da Berg!
 
Pacific Rim: Uprising, which I enjoyed more than I expected to. Also it proved Star Wars and especially The Last Jedi wastes John Boyega.
 
Muholland Dr.

No idea what happened in the movie, but I know that I liked it.

Ready Player One

Just when people start to doubt Spielberg, he put out something like Ready Player One and proves why he's still a legend. He took what could have easily been just a onenote nostalgia cashgrab and turned it into a story driven rollercoaster ride. While the book is heavily in love with the 80s, the movie did the smart thing and include everything from the 70s to our present day. Aside from a couple set pieces and moments, they don't stop the movie and show off all the different things they're referencing, they keep moving right along. It's got great replay value, because you want to freeze frame ever second of the movie and catch all the easter eggs. Performance wise, I thought Tye Sheridan, Mark Rylance, Olivia Cooke and TJ Miller did a great job. The three best scenes in the movie is probably the race, the horror throwback, and the final battle which was insane. The only drawbacks that I could think of is probably Ben Mendelsohn who plays a very standard 80s style villain (which maybe was the point?). I saw it in DBOX and it's honestly the best way to see this movie, and it raises my grade for the movie. Overall, it's a great fun movie and it's probably one of my favorites from Spielberg.
9/10
