5 Movies To Watch During Self Isolation

To Get Your Mind Off Of Things For A While

So, now that many of us are in self isolation, there is a lot of free time on our hands. So, to help pass the time, I've created a list of 5 movies to to get your mind off of things for a while. Each movie is from a different genre. I thought a little variety would be good. Click on the title of the movie to pull up the review and see if it's right for you. I think most of us could use a little escapism at the moment. So, lets get right into it!

5. The Lost City Of Z

The Lost City Of Z is a historical adventure which is based on true events. Charlie Hunnam in my opinion is an under appreciated actor and he really shines in this film. I know there's a book about the events as well, but I haven't read it yet. If you're looking for a little adventure, consider The Lost City Of Z.

4. Stonehearst Asylum

Stonehearst Asylum is a gothic film. If you're looking for something a little more dark, then you might find yourself enjoying Stonehearst Asylum. The movie is based off of a story by Edgar Allen Poe, and what's more gothic than Poe?

3. Good Boys

Good Boys is basically the movie Superbad but set in the 6th grade. The humor is a bit raunchy in some parts and I want to make this clear, this movie is NOT for kids. I know kids art starring in Good Boys, but the humor leans more adult. With that said, if you enjoyed Superbad, you'll probably find yourself enjoying Good Boys.

2. ReMastered: Devil At The Crossroads

ReMastered: Devil At The Crossroads Movie Poster Documentary

ReMastered: Devil At The Crossroads is an excellent Documentary on Netflix. It tells the life story of the famous Blues artist, Robert Johnson. ReMastered: Devil At The Crossroads is a bit on the shorter side, but I think the length of this film is perfect for a Documentary. If you're up for a little music documentary, then I'd suggest checking this one out.

1. Casablanca

Casablanca is an excellent classic film. I know it has it's own genre's it fits in, but I'm labeling it as a classic because well, it is. If you love movies, Casablanca is a must see film. It has action, comedy, romance, wit, and style. It's perhaps one of the best films ever made. I can't think of a better way to end this list than by watching Casablanca.

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi...

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review This Was My Dad's Idea Well... I went and saw Dora and the Lost City of Gold today with my dad, and... the film was a lot funnier than it has any right to be. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a live action adaptation of the Dora tv show on Nickelodeon. Dora, now a teenager, is sent to the City to live with her cousin, Diego, while her parents go exploring for a lost City. When her parents go missing, Dora and her new friends go and search for her parents. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the movie wasn't half bad. There is a ton of tongue and cheek humor. There is some cringe to the Dora and the Lost City of Gold too, but remember, this is a movie made for kids. As a kids film, it does a fine job. The acting was fine, and for a kids film, everyone did alright. Isabela Moner, who played Dora, did a good job portraying the character from what I remember about the show when I was very young. What surprised...

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far The funniest show I've seen in years I've been watching a show on Netflix called Norsemen, and I swear this is the funniest show I've seen in years! I can't understate how funny this show can really be, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say about 90% of the jokes land. Norsemen starts off in 790 AD, and follows a few Vikings and their slaves. The show goes through their lives and their trials, but it's done with a comedic spin. If you haven't yet, watch the trailer above to get a better idea of the show. I will say this, this show reminds me of Monty Python ! Some of the jokes Norsemen are gut busting, and will almost have you rolling on the floor laughing. In an age of bad comedies this show is gold. I just started watching season 2 the other day, and I just want to keep watching. The episodes are about a half hour long each, and it's the perfect time frame to get the story across. I wouldn't c...
