I don't get the hate - this was a fun popcorn flick.
I'll admit, I watched this movie basically because of all the hate it was getting on social media. I thought "It really can't be that bad, can it?" And I was right. It really wasn't that bad.
Now, if you're looking for an original storyline, insightful social commentary that hasn't been done three hundred times before, or acting that'll blow you away - well, why the sweet Hades were you watching a Netflix movie starring Will Smith and ORCS for heaven's sake?
However, if you were wanting a fun popcorn flick that required no thinking, but gave you cheesy-lines and lots of action, this was almost perfect. It really just depends on what you're expecting from it going in.

Tough to master the flick
Kinda like curling and requires a deft touch
The goal of the game is to flick the puck into the hole. Which sounds easy but it’s not. There are little posts that block the way. Plus if the opponent has a puck on the board you have to hit it and bounce off it first. So there’s some very tough shots and strategic choices on placement if you can execute properly. This feels like billiards mixed with curling and shuffleboard. Each game tends to last only 5 or 10 minutes so it’s best to play best 2 of 3. Boards can be quite expensive for championship levels but you can get an imperfect board for quite cheap. Get out there and try it.

Stuggle To Survive
Wind Chill- is a good horror flick, that does have twist and turns all thoughout the flick. Its slow at first, but it does get intresting in the middle and end. Emily Blunt is really good in this film.
The plot: Just before their university campus goes quiet for the winter break, a young woman (Emily Blunt) asks a classmate (Ashton Holmes) for a lift home. The two students set off on their trip and begin to get to know each other. But, when a reckless motorist drives them off the road, they find themselves stranded in the snow on a remote highway. As the night grows colder, the two are confronted by a horde of menacing apparitions -- and struggle to escape with their lives.
Its a good movie.

Fun!
Plenty of excitement in this action thriller starring Dwayne Johnson. Not the absolute best action flick out there but has all the makings - good acting, great effects/cinematography and an intense storyline. Some predictable parts, but nothing that takes away from the fun that this movie turned out to be. A great one for the whole family. Really worth a watch!

Not bad for a dance film fitting in around the hip-hop scene. It has a good cast, some good dance scenes but not with any real wow factor. Unfortunately it becomes all a bit predictable and it's not as dramatic as I think they hoped for. It's no Save the last dance, but still not bad for a dance flick.

OH BABY! B-A-B-Y, Baby! What a killer and fun ride of a movie. After leaving the theater when it came out I surprisingly made it home without getting a ticket and I'm still bopping to the music in my head as I type this. You can put your hard earned, or robbed, money on that you'll enjoy this flick.

Enjoyable popcorn flick

This movie had everything that made pirates of the Caribbean 1 a good movie. The acting was pretty good. The chemistry between The rock and Emily blunt was so good and believable. The combination of comedy and the action and the reveal of the immortals is what I think will cement this as a classic over time.
