When We First Met is the story of a man who continually goes back in time to woo the girl of his dreams, only to realize along the way that you can't change fate. I am generally not a fan of Adam Devine, as he always plays the "frat boy" stereotype, but he was surprisingly good; able to give both witty humor and touching moments. Most chick flicks have a very roundabout and similar plot line, but this film breaks that mold enough to be set apart and be recognized as a decent film. The writing was alright, the acting was fine, it was about as good as a straight to netflix movie can be. Overall, great for movie night with your girlfriend. 5/10 would watch again.

Early man, like other films from Aardman animations (Chicken Run, Wallace and Gromit) is a joyfully entertaining family film that is sure to entertain all family members. Early man is about a caveman tribe who loose their valley to an evil Lord, and must win it back in a football (soccer) match. Although I am not a big fan of soccer, the plot is not too devoted to that premise and is still very enjoyable. I personally love the animation style and just enjoy the goofiness of the entire film, escaping the typical pitfall of targeting only child audiences that plagues family films. The plot is easy enough and the jokes silly enough for young children to understand, while still being interesting for older audiences. Overall, not Aardman's very best but far from the worst, a great film for the family to go see, highly recommend

Going in to the film, I was excited to see how they adapted the story of Samson, hoping they would make it more interesting than previous adaptations. The film started on a good note, giving a different, more natural view of how Samson may have been and the first 45 minutes or so were well done in regards to adapting the story into something new. Sadly, like many movies about the Bible, it fell into a pit of following exact biblical interpretation and the film became like a history lesson. It was less about adventure and more just completing the story jumping from one act of strength to the next. In the end, it just fell short of a great Bible adaptation and will more than likely be lost in obscurity over the coming years. If you want the history of Samson, this film is for you, otherwise its not really worth the time.
