Oct 28, 2024 | agoodmovietowatch.com | Bilal Zouheir

The take Adam Driver, Annette Bening, and Jon Hamm are among the many recognizable faces of this star-packed political drama. Driver, pictured above in his ‘I’m goofy but I will save the world’ signature stare 😍, plays Daniel J. Jones, an investigator working with the Senate. He is assigned to write a report (“the” report) about the CIA torture program post 9/11. If you so much as liked Vice, the hit movie from earlier this year, you will love The Report.

Recordings of Skype sessions with his family show him happy, excited and looking forward to sending money back to them.

Bodied (2018) Movie Review

Oct 26, 2024 | agoodmovietowatch.com | Bilal Zouheir

The take Produced by Eminem, Bodied is like if the rap battles of 8 Miles lasted a whole movie, and that movie was a comedy. Adam is a white poetry major who studies battle rap and believes they represent the most modern form of poetry. His fascination leads him to participate and win in a battle and subsequently enter that world. But this is anything but an underdog story - Bodied is more of a satire of what Adam represents and how his college entourage reacts to his offensive lyrics.

They travel to the mountains to attend his funeral and meet their half-sister, Suzu, for the first time. Suzu is invited to live with the sisters and join their bond.
