Doesn't start off as a feel good movie but the mood definitely changes to something more optimistic towards the latter half.
On a scale of 1 tamale to 10 tamales I give it 7.8 tamales.

The Rewrite Movie Review
Stars Hugh Grant, Marisa Tomei, J.K. Simmons. Hugh Grant plays a once successful screenwriter who is forced to accept a teaching position at a university in Binghamton, NY. He tries to teach as little as possible in order to spend time writing a new screenplay of his own but eventually learns to like teaching and develops a real interest in helping his students become better writers. Good solid performances all the way through.
Doesn't start off as a feel good movie but the mood definitely changes to something more optimistic towards the latter half.
On a scale of 1 tamale to 10 tamales I give it 7.8 tamales.

Foxcatcher Movie Review
Stars:
Channing Tatum
Mark Ruffalo
Steve Carell
Foxcatcher is based on true events that took place during the late 1980s. Olympic wrestlers/brothers, Dave and Mark Schultz, are recruited by eccentric millionaire John Du Pont to form the next official U.S.A Olympic wrestling team.
However, it quickly becomes clear that Du Pont is less interested in the sport of wrestling and more interested in impressing his aging mother. Thus, he allows his insecurities to get the best of him and takes out his frustrations on Mark and Dave.
All three actors give powerful performances throughout each scene. All of which leads up to a very dramatic conclusion.
On a scale of 1 tamale to 10 tamales I give Foxcatcher a solid 8.5 tamales.

The Equalizer - Mini Movie Review
I was thoroughly surprised by The Equalizer! Surprised and delighted. Denzel Washington really shines in this movie. He plays a badass ex-hitman of sorts who inevitably comes out of retirement in order to help the innocent. I highly recommend you rent/stream it!
I give it 8 out of 10 tamales!
Exodus Gods and Kings - Mini Movie Review
Christian Bale as Moses? Believe it or not, he actually delivers a very powerful performance in this movie. Who knew a bible tale could be retold in such a fantastically secular manner? Not me. I highly recommend renting/streaming this movie.
I give it 8 out of 10 tamales!
