Movies watched during quarantine/lockdown

           With the way 2020 has been going and Gavin Newsom closing down businesses to 
    control COVID outbreak, I thought I'd share some movies I watched during this time:

   1). Willow (fantasy/epic)- producehd by George Lucas and directed by Ron Howard, this 
   fantasy tales revolves around a little guy named Willow who protects a baby whom an 
   evil witch wants. I really liked this movie and found it to be enjoyable (7/10)

   2). Ford v Ferrari (bio/drama)- This biographical racing drama involves American car 
   designers pitted against Italian designers to see who could make the fastest car. Christian
   Bale really shines in this one (7/10)

   3). Die Hard (action)- In this fun action movie, Bruce Willis stars a John McClane, an off 
   duty cop who must save his wife's co-workers as they are held hostage by some evil terrorists.
   This movie was my favorite among all of them. (10/10).

   4). Robocop (scifi/action)- This 1987 classic is about a cop who is gunned down in the line 
   of duty and is brought back to life through as a cyborg. This actionfest perfectly captures 
   corporate 1980's America. (8/10)

    5). The Terminator (1984)(scifi)-  James Cameron's scifi classic stars Arnold Schwarzenegger
    as a killer cyborg who travels back in time to stop a young woman (Linda Hamilton) from 
    giving birth to a son who leads the resistance against the evil robots in the distant future. 
    This movie was good but the sequel was miles better (7/10)

     6). The Blues Brothers (musical/comedy)- Starring the late and great John Belushi and Dan 
     Aykroyd, this film stars as two brothers on a mission from God to raise money for a 
     Catholic orphanage. The chase scene at night was my favorite part (7/10).
