I think Mangold's first go with the character, The Wolverine from back in 2013 I think was fairly solid. Not as good as X2 or DOFP, but vastly superior to both Origins and X3. and it had a neat little post-credits scene that led into DOFP.

The person suppose to be his caregiver stood up turned around and shouted to the other movie goers " look my little n****** is scared" and laughed. It almost seemed as if I was witnessing a contest to see who can screw their kids up more in a two hour period. It actually became worse and ended up leaving.
Aliens covenant was good, but I really think they should have made a point to tell people it's really a prometheus sequel and not really an alien movie per se. I went with two people that hadn't seen the first and tried to explain it cause they were lost.

What you described sounds like borderline child abuse. I do actually remember watching the original Friday the 13th when I was like 6. Some older kids next door were watching it and I was there for some reason. A little different than when it's an adult paying money to bring a child to a theater.

Seeing Baby Driver tonight. Excited to actually have time to see a movie.

[mthawk07]

I remember seeing a preview for Baby Driver a long time ago and REALLY wanting to see it, then completely forgot about it until seeing the RT score today. 99%!

[junior94]

this news about THE ACCOUNTANT getting a sequel really seems kind of odd. It's like the last thing I would've expected to hear. I mean it's a great example of an adult action/drama that was pretty much fine for what it was, I think I said this right after watching it, it was right around just having been worth the time it took to watch it. Certainly nowhere near great. I realize the way the story ended technically it left a door open for more, but just a sequel happening to this movie of all things would've NEVER crossed my mind. and I think I heard it made less than $200M worldwide.

Get Out - Pretty good. Not sure why people were confused about what they watched. Seemed pretty straightforward to me.

oh it was very straightforward, that's part of what I didn't like

kevin, you gotta consider the accountant shared universe

Right. I'm not saying everyone has to like it. I was just commenting on the people who were like "wtf did I just watch" (and not necessarily here, mostly FB).

I could totally see a sequel to The Accountant if it goes down some path with the brother or something.

ugh, don't think that basic joke hadn't already gone thru my mind

I genuinely would not be at all surprised if they retroactively tried to pair it with something else.

well as to 2nd paragraph, yea strictly speaking I could as well, but then you're talking about basically making a retread movie of the first. gee, how compelling and interesting, can't WAIT to see that...

as to 1st paragraph, with GET OUT, yea I wasn't confused by it at all. I think I even used the "straight forward" phrase in my initial post after finally seeing it several weeks ago. I didn't really find it some groundbreaking incredible thing partly due to how straight forward it was.

[junior94]

oh though for what it's worth, I have since heard about an alternate ending for GET OUT that was fully shot...

That while Chris is lying there out in the road, a car pulls up, but instead of it being his TSA friend like in the theatrical cut to save him and get him out of there, it's local white policemen. They see Rose now dead in the road, and the worst of where you think it goes it exactly where it goes. The final scene is the TSA friend visiting Chris in prison for murdering Rose, basically completely hopeless. So it's an unbelievably bleak ending.

Dude, you can watch it online. Like, right now. It's probably on the DVD, too.

[thebridge15]

it was offered to me when I rented the movie on demand

[BotheLaneFan]

Reminds me of when I watched Mad Max: Fury Road for the first time and God offered me a magic erection for 2 hours.

c'mon, if I'd have said that outside a spoiler tag I would've gotten a wrath of shit.

The guitar wasn't ON fire, it SHOT OUT fire. You stupid prick.

The way he phrased it makes it sound ridiculous.

WONDER WOMAN


I liked it, definitely the only other DC movie that could possibly claim being the best so far is Man Of Steel. cause this was unquestionably better than BvS or Suicide Squad. I liked MOS more than most people (& I'm not even one of the known usual DC ball washers around here! ) but yea I'll have to have a bit more time away from WW to know if it should be 1 or 2.

but I have a question for the more comics-minded, info on one of the characters...

okay even before Diana literally addresses the Dany Houston character as such, they obviously meant for us the audience to believe he was the "human" incarnation of Aries. By the end, we learn he wasn't. But so, was he still some other character from the comics? and was there some mystical/supernatural element to those "poppers" he was taking to make him like rage with energy?

Rough Night

I went in with zero expectations. It had a few laugh out loud jokes. It was just a fun mindless movie, which is what I wanted.

[FromTheMorning]

Baby Driver - 8/10

Didn't like Jamie Foxx in this at all but thought everyone else was solid. Great action. Went into the night not knowing who Lily James was and now I have a celebrity crush on her.

She is beautiful indeed. Did you not like Foxx the actor or his character?

[dmb9howell]

Searching For Bobby Fischer

Seen it many times but not in like 7-8 years, at least.
Such an awesome movie. It's right in my wheelhouse.

[BotheLaneFan]

The trailer for The Greatest Showman looks so goddamn bad.

Combination of both. I typically enjoy Foxx, just don't think he did a great job with a pretty obnoxious character. Tall order I suppose.

Foxx probably turned in the best performance in my mind, even if his character was despicable and completely one-note.

Numerically I'm right with your ranking though, which is disappointing given my expectations. Edgar Wright will always plant my ass in a theater seat, but even though I enjoyed the hell out of the movie, it lacked the emotional resonance I've come to expect with his work. I think it was the Collider review that noted Debora is more of a goal to Baby than a fully-fledged character of her own. I think that's pretty spot on. Even though you find yourself rooting for their relationship, that's more attributable to the script than any actual character development.

And Kevin Spacey was awful.

[drop2d]

Interstellar - way too long and pretty meh overall.

[rconverse]

Life - Thought it was pretty good.

She did the Cinderella remake a couple years ago. Worth a watch IMO.
