R.I.P. Paul Walker


R.I.P. Paul Walker

Paul Walker suit

The actor most known for his role in The Fast and the Furious movies died yesterday afternoon (11/30/13) in a car accident in Valencia, CA.  His friend Roger Rodas was driving.  Walker had been at a charity event for his organization Reach Out Worldwide earlier in the day.  Both men were found dead in the wreckage of a red Porche.  Walker was only 40 years old.

It’s sad and shocking news.  I’ve been a fan of Paul Walker’s movies ever since I saw him in Pleasantville (1998).  It’s awful to see him go way before his time.

Paul was not known for dramas, rather he was most known for action movies and thrillers.

Running Scared Walker Gun

My favorite Paul Walker movie is Running Scared (2006).  Other great Walker movies include Eight Below (2006), The Lazarus Project (2008), The Fast and the Furious (2001), Pawn Shop Chronicles (2013), and The Death and Life of Bobby Z (2007).

Eight Below Walker Dogs

Walker was supposed to be in Fast & Furious 7 in 2014.

Hours (2013) will be Paul’s second to the last movie to be released.  It is set to be released later this month.  The last movie that he made was Brick Mansions (2014).

The world lost another great actor.  He will be missed.

Paul Walker movies that I have reviewed include:

Pawn Shop Chronicles (2013)

Vehicle 19 (2013)

Netflix Watch Instantly Movie Reviews November 2013


Netflix Watch Instantly Movie Reviews November 2013

Netflix

Netflix Watch Instantly has drastically improved its movie selection over the last few years.  They still have more movies that are available to rent on disc than they do to stream, but if you do a little bit of searching then you will be able to find plenty of good movies that are worth streaming.

I have seen literally hundreds of movies that are currently available on Netflix Watch Instantly and literally thousands of movies that are currently available to rent on disc.

I have been writing movie reviews for almost a year now, but I have been mainly focusing on reviewing newer movies.  Because of this fact, I have not reviewed very many movies that are currently available on Netflix Watch Instantly.  I plan on fixing this problem soon.

I will continue to update and add to the list below throughout the month of November, and make a new list each month.  My lists will hopefully help you find good movies to watch and bad movies to stay away from.  I will hopefully be able to help save you time searching for a good movie to stream on Netflix Watch Instantly.  My reviews will tell you what are some of the best movies available on Netflix Watch Instantly and what are some of the worst movies available on Netflix Watch Instantly.

The Netflix Watch Instantly movie library changes periodically as their contracts with different movie companies run out or are renewed.  Here is a list of movies that I have reviewed that are currently available on Netflix Watch Instantly.  Click on each title below for my full review of that movie, my rating, the movie’s trailer, the movie’s poster, and pictures from that movie:

3,500 Movies Watched in 10 Years


Like the movie junkie that I am, I checked the math on my documented movie obsession and if I watch 1 movie per day for the rest of this year, I will have watched a total of 3,500 movies in the last decade.  That is an average of 350 movies watched each year for the last 10 years.  I am currently at 3,424 and including today there are exactly 76 days left in the year.  Challenge accepted!

392

A movie per day keeps the Doctor away.

There was a time when I would watch 4 or 5 movies in a day pretty regularly.  That is of course, before I had a full-time job and bills to pay.  Now, if only I had documented all of the movies that I watched in my lifetime, instead of just the last 10 years.

The Best Movies of 2013


The Best Movies of 2013

2013 is not over yet, but the last couple months of the year always seems to have a ton of new releases that get crammed in just in time to be considered for the current year’s Academy Awards.

We are in the midst of the beginning of the end of the year, so I thought it would be fitting to list all of the best movies that have been released so far this year.  I will list what I think are the best movies so far this year, and the rest of my list will consist of other great movies that did not quite make the cut.  The movies that did not make the cut were still pretty awesome and worth seeing.

Click on each movie for my full review, rating, trailer, and poster artwork for that film.

So, without further ado, here is the list:

The Best Movies of 2013 (in alphabetical order)

2 Guns (2013)

42 (2013)

All is Lost (2013)

American Hustle (2013)

Captain Phillips (2013)

Gravity (2013)

The Iceman (2012)

Lone Survivor (2013)

Out of the Furnace (2013)

Prisoners (2013)

Best Sequels:

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)

Red 2 (2013)

Other Great Movies that did not make the cut (in alphabetical order)

The Big Wedding (2013)

Broken City (2013)

Bullet to the Head (2012)

The Conjuring (2013)

Escape Plan (2013)

Gangster Squad (2013)

The Heat (2013)

Man of Steel (2013)

Mud (2012)

Oblivion (2013)

Oz The Great and Powerful (2013)

The Purge (2013)

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

Violet & Daisy (2011)

White House Down (2013)

The Wolverine (2013)

World War Z (2013)

Because the year is not over yet, I will continue to add to this list.  That is of course, if I see a movie that is good enough to be on it.  Considering the list of movies that are set to release before the end of the year, I’m sure that I will have no problem adding to this list.  I hope that you will come back to www.brockingmovies.com to see any additions to the list.
