If everybody who says All Lives Matter actually believed that all lives matter, the Black Lives Matter movement would not have been necessary in the first place.

Movie Review: Nightcrawler (2014)
Nightcrawler
Genre: Thriller/Drama
Rated: R
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
I went into Nightcrawler blind. I just ordered the ticket at the theatre, not knowing what to expect, and I’m rather happy that I did. This film was unique and engaging.
The beginning was a bit slow, to build the story, which is forgivable. It picked up pace gradually, and made into an amazing film, the ending of which was fast paced and action-packed. The film overall was well paced.
Jake Gyllenhaal never fails to impress. He is one of the leads in one of my favorite films, Prisoners, so of course I had high expectations for Nightcrawler. I was not disappointed.
The film had a slight Indie type feel, which added to the unique, dark, and slightly disturbing mood of the movie. Gyllenhaal’s character was disturbing in a sociopathic way. I found myself liking his character, but at the same time fearing him. He was slightly disturbed, but unique and provoking.
There was a lot of violence and some gore in this film, as well as some dark topics, which were necessary to add depth to the story and well-executed.
The ending was my favorite part. There was a small plot-twist moment in the storyline which was a great turn but also slightly anticipated.
The overall concept and topic of the film was entirely unique and well-executed. It was refreshing to see a film that doesn’t have a million others with the same exact idea.
Overall, I rate this film 4.5 out of 5 stars. I recommend this movie, especially to fans of horror and psychological thrillers. It was unique, engaging, and made me think deeper that most action-ish films will make me. Gyllenhaal gave a fantastic performance.The ending was unexpected, and I found that I learned a lot of life advice from this film, oddly enough. I was pleasantly surprised with this film, it has definitely been one of the best ones I have seen this year.

Quick Movie Review: Let's Be Cops (2014)
Let’s Be Cops (2014)
Genre: Comedy
Rated: R
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Let’s Be Cops was just another stupid, flat comedy movie.
I guess that this is the type of movie that has to be your type of comedy in order for it to be funny. Personally, I don’t like the crass, inappropriate humor that is just plain stupid. That is the only type of comedy that was in this movie, and it was a bit disappointing.
I did like the general idea, of two guys pretending to be cops and getting into a lot more trouble than they anticipated. I liked how the characters were developed, and how their lives rounded out in the end. The ending was my favorite part of the whole movie because it showed some character growth, and showed that what the characters experienced had a purpose.
Yes, it was stupid. But it wasn’t the worst movie I’ve ever seen. The acting was good, and the storyline was unique and engaging. Most everyone in the theatre I was in was laughing the entire way through the movie, so that’s a good sign, right?
If you are looking for just a silly movie that may make you laugh because of its sheer stupidity, then I recommend this movie for you. I give Let’s Be Cops 3 out of 5 stars because it wasn’t awful, and a certain type of person might absolutely love this movie. I just wasn’t that person, sadly, but the film still has some merit.
Thanks for reading!
