I really enjoy a good movie experience (sometimes that can even involve bad movies). Thanks to IMDb I have a growing record of all my more than 200 ratings. And on Twitter I often share what I think about the more noteworthy movies or series I watch. My summaries really don’t conform with regular reviews, partly due to a Tweet having a limited number of characters, which I think is a lot more fun. Here’s the definitive archive of Ryan’s movie reviews for your info – and to prevent me from starting to watch something again by mistake.
The list is sorted by most recently watched/reviewed, not when it was released. You can filter by choosing Genre and/or Star rating.
An interesting back and front story to bio-hacking. Quite fascinating. | I rated Citizen Bio (2020) 8/10 #IMDb https://t.co/H0HepUTGbz
— Ryan B (@rbrink77) September 9, 2022
Extremely fun thriller, to keep you guessing. | I rated Game Night (2018) 8/10 #IMDb https://t.co/YGwcdXDkW5
— Ryan B (@rbrink77) August 13, 2022
So very, very, very good. Worth seeing in a cinema. | I rated Top Gun: Maverick (2022) 10/10 #IMDb https://t.co/xuayw1UF1L
— Ryan B (@rbrink77) July 20, 2022
I’d give more stars if it was an hour shorter. Did the animation dept influence the storyline too much? | I rated Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) 6/10 #IMDb https://t.co/SRdCuOvOin
— Ryan B (@rbrink77) July 3, 2022
The average day operating a dam would be more interesting than this so-called action thriller terrorist conspiracy flick. Bruce Willis must be pro-bono acting for a young relative. | I rated Deadlock (2021) 4/10 #IMDb https://t.co/oElbX9J7Uf
— Ryan B (@rbrink77) July 3, 2022
Perhaps my tongue-in-cheek comment about Willis’s unwise decision to be part of this movie could be in bad taste. As it turns out, his declining mental state has been quietly known about for some time.
Maybe the first time I’ve watched this in full. To this day, a worrying story in Victoria. | | I rated Romper Stomper (1992) 6/10 #IMDb https://t.co/w2GLM3uTah
— Ryan B (@rbrink77) July 2, 2022
Hard to believe it’s 30 years since Romper Stomper was infamously released. Now we’re living in Victoria I finally got around to watch it – immediately recognising the Richmond train station subway and Point Addis finale. Kind of an important story still here, regardless of its age.
Surprised to see it had a 12 year old Natalie Portman. I upgraded my rating – as it stood the test of time. | Leon: The Professional (1994) 8/10 #IMDb https://t.co/jDdrHJ7oIy
— Ryan B (@rbrink77) April 24, 2022
A fun action-packed ride. Nice to return to the cinema again. | I rated The Bad Guys (2022) 8/10 #IMDb https://t.co/B17ZEgTdWC
— Ryan B (@rbrink77) April 9, 2022
Four years ago I experienced Beirut ??. Agree wholeheartedly with Tony, It’s a place that people must visit. | I rated Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown: Beirut (S5.E8) 10/10 #IMDb https://t.co/jr5z6Xv6iF
— Ryan B (@rbrink77) November 14, 2021
Pretty absurd movie. It felt like a 2hr 3 min trailer. | I rated Captain Marvel (2019) 5/10 #IMDb https://t.co/uFwV6IPP2I
— Ryan B (@rbrink77) November 6, 2021
I expected regular revengeful Neeson movie, it was actually quite gimmicky fun. Almost a Guy Ritchie storyline. | I rated Cold Pursuit (2019) 7/10 #IMDb https://t.co/Sr4yBmPn49
— Ryan B (@rbrink77) November 6, 2021
There are no new movies, only variations on a theme. This is LEGO movie, Boss Level, with a stolen Matrix subplot. Their Dude character was one of the funniest things ever tho. | I rated Free Guy (2021) 6/10 #IMDb https://t.co/95gvu4R0kV
— Ryan B (@rbrink77) October 8, 2021
What an enthralling and troubling series. | I rated Squid Game (2021–2021) 8/10 #IMDb https://t.co/ZpdbsRato7
— Ryan B (@rbrink77) October 7, 2021
What a fun concept film. Combining Groundhog Day with John Wick. | I rated Boss Level (2021) 7/10 #IMDb https://t.co/QGfglVCnoy
— Ryan B (@rbrink77) September 30, 2021
Who would have thought, a movie about the Bra Boys gang, written by a Bra Boy would make Bra Boys the heroes. That aside, a really well put together documentary. | I rated Bra Boys (2007) 7/10 #IMDb https://t.co/6Uyg0dAjc2
— Ryan B (@rbrink77) September 29, 2021
Precisely the movie you’d make if you like Jason Bourne franchise and have a female MMA fighter lead who does her own stunts. | I rated Haywire (2011) 5/10 #IMDb https://t.co/bDe0vdlw94
— Ryan B (@rbrink77) September 18, 2021
Oh my lord! ?? Hauntingly special. | I rated Lion (2016) 9/10 #IMDb https://t.co/bIYP8A1jU8
— Ryan B (@rbrink77) September 12, 2021
Great to see and hear more of the backstory of something I had only seen from the sidelines. | I rated Untold: Caitlyn Jenner (2021) 7/10 #IMDb https://t.co/bcTfiLf8mi
— Ryan B (@rbrink77) September 11, 2021
Such a fun masterpiece. Can’t help but be impressed with the results of a 500+ visual effects department. | I rated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) 8/10 #IMDb https://t.co/g7NNbu4pnH
— Ryan B (@rbrink77) September 4, 2021

Fun movie, if Men In Black had merged with Ghost. | I rated R.I.P.D. (2013) 7/10 #IMDb https://t.co/ZpLQFRgqZJ

— Ryan B (@rbrink77) April 18, 2021
A very special doco, well worth a watch. ?? | I rated Pick of the Litter (2018) 9/10 #IMDb https://t.co/3jCUSlNTV4

Maybe half-funny is an exaggeration. Certainly relatable. | I rated Death to 2020 (2020) 5/10 #IMDb https://t.co/kkydJQQ1BW
— Ryan B (@rbrink77) January 5, 2021
Definitely worth watching, to learn it happened. Then to question, why. | I rated Three Identical Strangers (2018) 8/10 #IMDb https://t.co/NPOrRu4p1Z
— Ryan B (@rbrink77) December 13, 2020
? – repulsively important. | I rated TIME: The Kalief Browder Story (2017– ) 7/10 #IMDb https://t.co/unbcLV0ZQ1

OMG ? | I rated Camino Skies (2019) 8/10 #IMDb https://t.co/vHHdbpWH1t
— Ryan B (@rbrink77) October 25, 2020
Probably as interesting as it was creepy. Seeing the title I joked it must be about taxidermy. ? Umm, yep. | I rated Stuffed (2019) 7/10 #IMDb https://t.co/pqDq57rGH3
— Ryan B (@rbrink77) October 23, 2020

Only because #IMDb didn’t allow me to rate it 11/10. ?? | I rated Make Us Dream (2018) 10/10 https://t.co/VqdWiLlOLL
— Ryan B (@rbrink77) August 29, 2020
Some good action scenes. Not enough to counter the truly dumb CGI to create a young Will Smith. Producers should watch and learn from the Klumps at the dinner table scene. | I rated Gemini Man (2019) 4/10 #IMDb https://t.co/WbbivMyGWD
— Ryan B (@rbrink77) August 22, 2020
