The Time Machine (1960) - A childhood favorite of mine. Re-watched for editing purposes. Classic adventure tale with an atypical (well not so much anymore) method of travel. I love pretty much everything about this film - if you haven't seen it yet, you should. A-

Shoot 'Em Up (2006) - A tons of fun, over-the-top 90 minute shoot out, basically. Funny, too. B

Good Will Hunting (1997) - A modern classic. Great performances abound (RIP Robin Williams). Great story, still chokes me up even though I've seen it before ("It's not your fault" - amazing scene). Also major points for being set in Boston/Cambridge. A

Gone Girl (2014) - Saw this last night. Amazing. Gripping from start to finish. This is a fantastic story - if you don't know anything about it, good, keep it that way and see the movie. Everything's great here. Fincher once again is proving he's one of the best directors out there. The whole cast is phenomenal too. Ben Affleck definitely gives his best performance here (he was great!). Shout out to Rosamund Pike, who does an equally great job. What came as a surprise to me was how funny this film is. Lot of dark humor. Long story short, this is a highly engaging film that flies by even though it's 150 minutes. Highly recommended. A
