This is a list of movies that I have watched since I began keeping track in mid-2015, with a short verdict for each.
Date | Title | Year | Remark | IMDB link |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2015-06 | Star Wars - all six of them | Awesome | ||
| 2015-06-16 | Despicable Me 2 | 2013 | Entertaining. | IMDB |
| 2015-06-16 | The Admiral: Roaring Currents | 2014 | Quite epic. | IMDB |
| 2015-06-19 | Soylent Green | 1973 | Watched it again; a classic. | IMDB |
| 2015-06-22 | Chappie | 2015 | Entertaining, but also annoying. | IMDB |
| 2015-06-28 | Mad Max: Fury Road | 2015 | An incredible amount of violence and grotesqueness for absolutely no good reason. | IMDB |
| 2015-07-27 | The Astronaut Farmer | 2015 | Uhm, decent, but barely. | IMDB |
| 2015-07-28 | Merchants of Doubt | 2014 | Very well made and very interesting. | IMDB |
| 2015-07-29 | Particle Fever | 2013 | Very interesting. Also quite moving at times. | IMDB |
| 2015-07-29 | Madame Bovary | 2014 | Watched one third of it, uninteresting, quit. | IMDB |
| 2015-08-01 | Kingsman - The Secret Service | 2014 | Entertaining, but quite silly. | IMDB |
| 2015-08-02 | Danny Collins | 2015 | Good, quite good. | IMDB |
| 2015-08-03 | Good Kill | 2014 | Quite decent. Of course, we are not buying the "U.S. army = good, C.I.A. = bad" premise, but the movie was good nonetheless. | IMDB |
| 2015-08-05 | Woman in Gold | 2015 | Quite good. A bit unnecessarily convoluted and/or dragging at one point, but just one point. | IMDB |
| 2015-08-08 | Spare Parts | 2015 | Quite good. A bit too much sentimentalism at a certain point, but overall, quite good. | IMDB |
| 2015-08-08 | Astronaut: The Last Push | 2012 | Decent; interesting; moving; quite realistic; but to most people I would not recommend it, because they'd be bored senseless. | IMDB |
| 2015-08-09 | The Russia House | 1990 | Excellent, excellent. | IMDB |
| 2015-08-11 | Kill The Messenger | 2014 | Excellent up until about the middle; then I stopped watching it, not because it turned bad, but because I realized that I was about to get very seriously pissed off with what was about to happen. | IMDB |
| 2015-08-12 | Dawkins: Sex, Death, and the Meaning of Life | 2012 | (3 episodes, Channel 4) Good. | IMDB |
| 2015-08-13 | Survivor | 2015 | Uhm, entertaining, but barely, due to several lame premises and instances of cheapness in the scenario. | IMDB |
| 2015-08-14 | Selma | 2014 | Quite good. Inspiring. | IMDB |
| 2015-08-16 | Unbroken | 2014 | Quite good, though the Watanabe's character was underdeveloped; either we should be told more about him, or he should not have been made to look so evil. | IMDB |
| 2015-08-21 | Dirty Wars | 2013 | Interesting, though it could have been a medium-length article. | IMDB |
| 2015-08-23 | The Theory of Everything | 2014 | Very good, but you need to read the Wikipedia article about Hawkins before watching it, otherwise certain things won't make sense. | IMDB |
| 2015-08-24 | A Brief History of Time | 1991 | Not so good. Neither the science nor his life are examined in any depth, so I really fail to see who is the target audience of this film. | IMDB |
| 2015-09-22 | Fury | 2014 | Good, but the final massacre could have easily been of less unrealistic proportions, and the biblical mumbo jumbo could have easily been missing. | IMDB |
| 2015-10-24 | Air | 2015 | Very good. | IMDB |
| 2015-10-25 | Tomorrowland | 2015 | Decent, for kids. | IMDB |
| 2015-11-08 | Antarctica: A Year On Ice | 2013 | Very good. Be sure to watch in good quality. | IMDB |
| 2015-11-08 | San Andreas Quake | 2015 | Lame on all aspects. Name an aspect, it is lame on it. | IMDB |
| 2015-11-20 | The Man From U.N.C.L.E. | 2015 | Very good. A bit too explanatory in a couple of moments, as if for idiots. | IMDB |
| 2015-11-21 | Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation | 2015 | Quite entertaining, most of the time. | IMDB |
| 2015-11-23 | Momentum | 2015 | Entertaining, but not by much. Bad acting, plenty of ludicrousness, and overall, not terribly exciting. | IMDB |
| 2015-11-24 | Self/Less | 2015 | Excellent. On a few occasions it makes you think that it is about to make some serious blooper, but it does not. | IMDB |
| 2015-11-26 | Cartel Land | 2015 | Started watching it, kind of interesting, but not interesting enough, quit. | IMDB |
| 2015-11-27 | The 33 | 2015 | Awesome. | IMDB |
| 2015-12-03 | The Last Rescue | 2015 | Not bad. But not very good, either. Some technical cheapness, the audio cover was done by an amateur, too much emphasis on human expressions sometimes to the point of cheesiness, and an unwarranted vilification of the Germans. | IMDB |
| 2015-12-04 | Terminator Genisys | 2015 | Somewhat entertaining, considerably lame. | IMDB |
| 2015-12-13 | Ex Machina | 2015 | Pretty good. | IMDB |
| 2015-12-18 | Fifty Shades of Grey | 2015 | Very lame, but then again all the prior bad publicity had prepared me for the lameness, so I was not as disappointed as I had expected. | IMDB |
| 2015-12-18 | The Hunger Games - Mockingjay - Part 1 | 2014 | A bit slow at times, but overall, quite good. | IMDB |
| 2015-12-19 | Run All Night | 2015 | Very, very good. If you want a reasonable scenario, a lot of action, and a lot of meanness, and all that, strangely, together with a fair amount of emotion. | IMDB |
| 2015-12-21 | Birdman | 2014 | Started watching it, not interesting enough, quit. | IMDB |
| 2015-12-21 | Infini | 2015 | Started watching it, not interesting enough, quit. | IMDB |
| 2015-12-21 | Love, Actually | 2003 | Watchable. | IMDB |
| 2015-12-29 | The Martian | 2015 | Very, very good, if we disregard several very annoying impossibilities. | IMDB |
| 2015-12-30 | The Martian | 2015 | Watched again. Very, very good, if we disregard several very annoying impossibilities. | IMDB |
| 2016 | Flight | 2012 | (with Denzel Washington) Good. | IMDB |
| 2016-01-02 | Burnt | 2015 | Very, very good. | IMDB |
| 2016-01-07 | SM Rechter | 2009 | Decent. | IMDB |
| 2016-03-13 | Spectre | 2015 | Entertaining. Gaping holes in the scenario, as usual. | IMDB |
| 2016-04-23 | The Hunger Games - Mockingjay Part 2 | 2015 | Uhm, entertaining, but the scenario was cheap and cheesy on several occasions. | IMDB |
| 2016-06-12 | Searching for Sugar Man | 2012 | Nice. | IMDB |
| 2016-07-17 | Bridge of Spies | 2015 | Excellent. | IMDB |
| 2016-07-19 | In The Heart of the Sea | 2015 | Quite decent. | IMDB |
| 2016-07-21 | The Big Short | 2015 | Well done, but above my head on several occasions. | IMDB |
| 2016-11-05 | The Horse Whisperer | 1998 | Nice, but boring, quit watching after 2 hours. | IMDB |
| 2016-11-27 | Jason Bourne | 2016 | Very well made and quite entertaining. | IMDB |
| 2016-12-24 | Our Kind of Traitor | 2016 | In the beginning it was a bit boring, but just as I was getting ready to quit, it picked up and it turned out to be quite a good movie. | IMDB |
| 2016-12-28 | Battlestar Galactica TV Miniseries Part 1 of 2 | 2003 | Not very good, but not bad enough to deserve passing. | IMDB |
| 2016-12-29 | Battlestar Galactica TV Miniseries Part 2 of 2 | 2003 | Not very good, but not bad enough to deserve passing. | IMDB |
| 2016-12-30 | Star Trek Beyond | 2016 | Entertaining, but too lame too much of the time. | IMDB |
| 2017-01-02 | Snowden | 2016 | Highly recommended. | IMDB |
| 2017-01-03 | Sully | 2016 | Quite good, although it falsely vilifies the investigators. | IMDB |
| 2017-01-07 | Jack Reacher: Never Go Back | 2016 | Action and violence for the entire family. Decent, actually. | IMDB |
| 2017-01-08 | A Hologram For The King | 2016 | Nice. | IMDB |
| 2017-01-08 | Deepwater Horizon | 2016 | Quite good. | IMDB |
| 2017-01-13 | War Dogs | 2016 | Starts a bit boring, but after not too long it turns quite good. | IMDB |
| 2017-01-21 | The Revenant | 2015 | Two and a half hours of bloodshed, gore, misery, and loss, in beautiful snow-covered nature. | IMDB |
| 2017-02-17 | Blackhat | 2015 | The technical parts were not too implausible for a change. Was a strange mixture of cheap and well made. Worth watching. | IMDB |
| 2017-04-14 | The Accountant | 2016 | Entertaining. | IMDB |
| 2017-04-16 | Arrival | 2016 | Mostly pretty good, but also disappointing in certain ways. | IMDB |
| 2017-04-22 | Rogue One Bonus Disk | 2016 | Interesting. Mildly. | |
| 2017-04-22 | Rogue One | 2016 | Quite good. One of the best Star Wars movies. | IMDB |
| 2017-04-25 | Passage to Mars | 2016 | Barely worth watching for someone like me. Definitely not worth watching for the vast majority of people I know. | IMDB |
| 2017-04-26 | Approaching the Unknown | 2016 | Boring, lame, and cheap. | IMDB |
| 2017-04-27 | Sicario | 2015 | Quite good. Grim. Gruesome. Realistic. | IMDB |
| 2017-04-28 | Z for Zachariah | 2015 | Quite good in many ways. A bit too embarrassing at times. Not nearly as predictable as one might think, but unfortunately, the sensation of predictability lessens the enjoyment of watching. Well delivered ending. Overall, worth watching. | IMDB |
| 2017-05-28 | Criminal | 2016 | A lot of suspense, a lot of action. A bit too cheesy-emotional at times, but overall, quite good. | IMDB |
| 2017-06-01 | The Nice Guys | 2016 | Entertaining. | IMDB |
| 2017-06-14 | Hacksaw Ridge | 2016 | Very good. The gore was a bit over the top, but still, very good. | IMDB |
| 2017-07-02 | Jackie | 2016 | Interesting, but also kind of boring too. | IMDB |
| 2017-07-15 | The Ghost in the Shell | 2017 | Quite awesome, actually, if you forgive some lameness in the screenplay here and there. | IMDB |
| 2017-07-16 | 2010: The Year We Make Contact | 1984 | (Space Odyssey) Nice, but probably very boring for most audiences. | IMDB |
| 2017-07-22 | Meteor | 1979 | Kind of interesting, but also lame, slow, and boring. | IMDB |
| 2017-07-22 | The Discovery | 2017 | Interestingly macabre, while managing to stay serious. and not scary. A bit confusing, a bit uninteresting. Very moody. Not enough climax. | IMDB |
| 2017-07-25 | The Circle | 2017 | Interesting, but nothing to write home about. The scenario was somewhat weak and somewhat predictable. | IMDB |
| 2017-07-25 | The White Squall | 1996 | Interesting, enjoyable, but the end in the court was a bit lame. | IMDB |
| 2017-07-28 | High-Rise | 2015 | The trailer looked promising, but the actual movie was too boring, uninteresting, and annoying. There were some very good concepts, but it was going nowhere up until past the middle, which is when I quit watching. | IMDB |
| 2017-07-30 | The Butterfly Circus (Short) | 2009 | (Directed by Joshua Weigel) Nice. | IMDB |
| 2017-07-31 | Jurassic World | 2015 | Very entertaining. | IMDB |
| 2017-07-31 | Terminator Salvation | 2009 | Entertaining. Some good moments, but also lots of cheapness in the scenario. | IMDB |
| 2017-08-02 | Super 8 | 2011 | Very entertaining. For the entire family. | IMDB |
| 2017-08-03 | Code 46 | 2003 | Interesting. Slow. A bit incomprehensible at times. Overall, neither very entertaining nor very thought provoking, some quite good visuals but not spectacular, so, I do not know what the point was. | IMDB |
| 2017-08-07 | The Imitation Game | 2014 | Very good. Beware of deviations from historical fact. | IMDB |
| 2017-08-08 | Parker | 2013 | Very entertaining. Unsophisticated, but without any discernible flaws. | IMDB |
| 2017-08-10 | The Hateful Eight | 2015 | Well executed, slowly building into a murder mystery and then into a complete splatter. Pointless gruesomeness. | IMDB |
| 2017-08-10 | The Magnificent Seven | 2016 | Naive, and bloody, but entertaining. | IMDB |
| 2017-08-10 | The Avengers | 2012 | Watched it for the cultural literacy aspect of it. It was exactly as I expected it: spectacular and entertaining, but naive to the point of annoyance. | IMDB |
| 2017-08-11 | London Has Fallen | 2016 | Entertaining. Barely. | IMDB |
| 2017-08-12 | The Divergent Series: Allegiant | 2016 | Entertaining, but naive, immature and lame. | IMDB |
| 2017-08-13 | The French Connection | 1971 | Started watching it, not interesting enough, quit before the middle. | IMDB |
| 2018-05-20 | 6 Days | 2017 | Quite good; epic; tragic. | IMDB |
| 2018-06-10 | Blade Runner 2049 | 2017 | Quite good, considering that its predecessor had such an impact on movie-making that it is hard to impress redoing what it did. I was glad that the music was vangelesque. | IMDB |
| 2018-06-12 | Unlocked | 2017 | Well made and entertaining, though the scenario was a bit over the top, and parts of it were not explained or impossible. | IMDB |
| 2018-06-23 | Wonder Woman | 2017 | Lame. Barely entertaining. | IMDB |
| 2018-08-10 | Autumn Blood | 2013 | Quite well made, but I had to stop watching before the middle because I could not stand the violence. | IMDB |
| 2018-08-10 | Atomic Blonde | 2017 | Very well made, entertaining without serious annoyances. The end was bizarre. Could watch again. | IMDB |
| 2018-08-26 | Ocean's 8 | 2018 | Quite entertaining. This probably qualifies as a chick flick. | IMDB |
| 2018-09-18 | Solo - A Star Wars Story | 2018 | Entertaining. | IMDB |
| 2019 | Bluefin | 2016 | Informative. Not exciting or anything. | IMDB |
| 2019 | Hunter Killer | 2018 | Decent for an action movie | IMDB |
| 2019 | Mission Impossible : Fallout | 2018 | Quite entertaining. Following the names was a bit complicated at some point. | IMDB |
| 2019 | Star Wars - The Last Jedi | 2017 | Entertaining. | IMDB |
| 2019 | The Equalizer 2 | 2018 | Unrepresentative-for-the-genre slowness punctuated by grotesque violence and sentimental cheesiness. | IMDB |
| 2019 | Alpha | 2018 | Interesting. A bit impossible at times, but overall, decent. Nice story for the kids. | IMDB |
| 2019 | The Age Of Stupid | 2009 | Interesting. | IMDB |
| 2019 | High Life | 2019 | Too cheap production, too much awfulness, difficult to make sense out of. | IMDB |
| 2019 | Prospect | 2018 | Quite good, and very well done for its low budget. Extreme contrasts, claustrophobic, gruesome. Not for everyone. | IMDB |
| 2019-07-25 | The Blood of Heroes | 1989 | Powerful. | IMDB |
| 2019-12-18 | 6 Underground | 2019 | Entertaining. | IMDB |
| 2020-01-04 | Climate Change: The Facts (BBC) | 2019 | Certainly a must-watch. | IMDB |
| 2020-01-07 | Ad Astra | 2019 | Very good, but not for everyone. Slow and moody. Atmospheric but not exceptionally so. Takes you down a bit to lift you up a bit. | IMDB |
| 2020-01-07 | Angel Has Fallen | 2019 | Entertaining. | IMDB |
| 2020-01-11 | Clara | 2018 | Just barely managing to keep me from pressing stop and watching something else. | IMDB |
| 2020-01-12 | John Wick Chapter 2 | 2017 | Entertaining. | IMDB |
| 2020-01-17 | Gemini Man | 2019 | Well, nice. The scenario was at times cheap, and often predictable, but still, more decent than your average mindless action movie. | IMDB |
| 2020-01-18 | Io | 2019 | (Directed by Jonathan Helpert) Very good. Slow, unlike the trailer. | IMDB |
| 2020-01-19 | John Wick Chapter 3 Parabellum | 2019 | Normally I'd say "entertaining", but that was over the top. Two hours straight of non-stop slaughter. | IMDB |
| 2020-01-25 | The Report | 2019 | A.K.A. The Torture Report - A movie, but a documentary. Well done. Good soundtrack, too. Requires patience and interest in the subject. | IMDB |
| 2020-04-09 | 1917 | 2019 | Quite well made. Good casting, good acting. Realistic, mostly. No grand finale. | IMDB |
| 2020-04-11 | The Irishman | 2019 | Well made, but not captivating enough. | IMDB |
| 2020-06-22 | Le chant du Loup (The Wolf's Call) | 2019 | Very good. Almost excellent. | IMDB |
| 2020-06-25 | The Beyond | 2017 | Lame. Quit around the middle. Way too uninteresting and boring. | IMDB |
| 2020-06-27 | Phantom | 2013 | Very good. | IMDB |
| 2020-06-27 | In Enemy Hands | 2004 | Quite good | IMDB |
| 2020-06-28 | Lucy in the Sky | 2019 | Lame. Boring, Uninteresting. Quit at one third. | IMDB |
| 2020-06-28 | Apollo 11 | 2019 | Very nice. | IMDB |
| 2020-06-28 | Crimson Tide | 1995 | Watched it again. Great movie. | IMDB |
| 2020-06-28 | Captive State | 2019 | Quite a good movie. A bit cryptic in the end, but it makes sense. | IMDB |
| 2020-06-29 | Origin Unknown | 2018 | Lame and Cheap. Quit during their grand finale because it was uninteresting. | IMDB |
| 2020-07-28 | Greyhound | 2020 | Very good. | IMDB |
| 2020-07-29 | Das Boot | 1981 | A classic. A really great movie. | IMDB |
| 2020-08-08 | Midway | 2019 | Well made. | IMDB |
| 2021-07-09 | Promised Land | 2012 | Slow, uninteresting, unengaging, boring. A succession of plot twists in the end were hardly capable of salvaging it. | IMDB |
| 2023-01-22 | Heat | 1995 | Pretty solid movie, a bit more nuanced than just crime and violence. | IMDB |
| 2023-07-20 | Oppenheimer | 2023 | Quite good. The "patriotic crowd" scene was well done, though maybe the movie needed more of that. | IMDB |
| 2023-12-22 | Don't Look Up | 2021 | Quite good. There are some impossibilities in the scenario, but it is okay, they are excused as being allegoric. It is perhaps the most predictable movie ever, but then again, that's the thing, it is meant to show that it is just as predictable in real life. | IMDB |
| 2023-12-29 | Das Boot (Mini-Series) | 2018 | Watched an edited (butchered) very low-quality version on YouTube. It was uhm, kind of good, though I imagine that the unedited original might have been boring. The acting was decent, but the story was often hard to swallow, and the action was sometimes unnecessarily gruesome. | IMDB |
| 2024-12-30 | Plane | 2023 | Mediocre acting, ultra-violence, entertaining. | IMDB |
| 2025-03-16 | The Conversation | 1974 | Tried watching it because of very good recommendations, but did not even finish it. Boring, pointless, and illogical. | IMDB |
| 2025-08-10 | Finch | 2021 | Slightly anti-climactic, but overall quite decent. | IMDB |
| 2025-09-13 | Crater | 2023 | Nice teenager movie. | IMDB |
| 2025-10-20 | The Martian | 2015 | Watched it again with my son. | IMDB |
| 2025-12-25 | Avatar: Fire & Ash | 2025 | Absolutely spectacular New Age mumbo jumbo mixed with ultraviolence, mixed with runaway sentiment. I do not understand who this movie is for. Is this for the general population of the western world? Then the general population of the western world is schizophrenic. | IMDB |
| 2016-07-23 | The Man From U.N.C.L.E. | 2015 | Watched it again, with my son. | IMDB |
| 2016-07-25 | The Creator | 2023 | Very impressive visuals, some brilliant and some not-so-brilliant art, mediocre scenario and story-telling, some annoying unlikely or supernatural technology, no message to take home. Oh, and the music in the truck escaping from the barn was Deep Purple - Child in Time. | IMDB |
