Not really recent, but Frequency is a solid movie with a time travel-ish concept. X-Men: Days Of Future Past was unexpectedly good, considering how much the X-Men movies have sucked recently.
And it's a tv show, and an old (2006) one at that, but Day Break is a single season series that I really liked. It used Groundhog Day style "time travel", but it was pretty well done, and it had a good cast.

I did like Frequency and forgot to mention Interstellar, which would be recent.

Ok, aside from Terminator, name some decent time travel movies. I think the last one I saw was Looper and before that it was Primer. Can’t think of anything recent.

The Time Traveler’s Wife is a very watchable piece.

Way back in the day Time after Time and Jacob's Ladder ,time travel and horror

Saw Vice tonight. It was well acted. But very morbid and depressing. We're not supposed to talk about politics so I won't say much else.
I came home to what looked like a murder on my top steps. We were afraid to approach the house out of fear that there was actually a real murder and called the police. They made it in under 3 minutes. It turns out it was a deer. There was blood everywhere. It was really disturbing especially after seeing that movie. I helped the game warden load the deer into his truck. I got blood all over me.

Well that's an unnerving thing to come home to. Any idea what killed it?

A broad head arrow from a hunter and it ran into my new railing I had put up earlier this year. It was so gruesome.

Watched a few pictures the past few days (instead of studying, so I'm feeling guilty but at the same time cinemeducated):
Galveston - Nice, gritty, sort of a story without story except a very broad one. I like movies like this BUT I prefer them without annoying little kids; kids and movies don't go together. 6/10
Manchester by the Sea - Like above, the story was more like a framework for minute conversations, feelings and emotions. Good. Chasey Afleck was like a poor man's Ryan Gosling in this. 8/10
Beirut - Exciting bits here and there but overall, I'd call it a very Hollywood-style failure. 4/10
Mystic River - Can't believe this came out in 2003 yet I only watched it now. Very good - if convoluted in places - and seems to confirm that C. Eastwood is unable to come up with anything less than excellent (not counting the one about preventing a terror strike in Paris-bound train, forgot the name, that's was laughably bad). 8/10
Molly's Game - A story worth telling, and I've been led to believe this stayed pretty true to the actual facts. Not very exciting and ultimately, the build-up led to nowhere in particular, which further adds credibility to the "based on a true story" concept. 7/10
To Rome with Love - Like I've noted before, I somehow watch everything Woody does despite rarely really enjoying them and this was trademark Woody in all the aspects that I don't like about his work. Repulsive characters and comedy that was seldom funny. Plus it had Jesse "The least talented A-lister" Eisenberg in it which leads to automatic points-deduction. 4/10 cos it had its moments.

I've been wanting to see Into The Spiderverse. Reviews are excellent and word of mouth is consistently good, too.

The Predator: 7/10
Overall I thought it was decent. I liked the references to the previous films and the pacing. Not sure about the apex predator idea since this was done in Predators. I did like the characters though and thought they carried the film pretty well

Equalizer 2: 7/10
I liked it well enough but it wasn’t any different from the first. Very predictable too. I knew who the antagonist of the film was before they even revealed him [emoji23] other than that, the action sequences were excellent
Venom: 5/10
Pretty mediocre film imo. CGI looked horrible and the plot was a bit boring. [emoji107]

I thought it was a fun movie, though you could tell it suffered from some bad editing and weird rewrites.
And Predators was underrated…
