You're just too young to appreciate it.

His charisma is very strange, because I liked him in The Producers.

Logan.  Mediocre movie (and I'm a Wolverine fan from the days of the comics of the early 80's)

I agree with you on this one.  But, at least, it is better than all the other Wolverine movies.

Hacksaw Ridge.  Crappy movie, incredible story.

I loved that movie!

And I am not a fan of war movies.

I saw War for the Planet of the Apes the other day.  Great flick!

Cop Land.

It's an older flick that I've never seen before.  Lots of big names on this one - Sylvester Stallone being the main character, then there's Robert DeNiro, Harvey Kietel, Ray Liotta, and that liquid metal guy from Terminator 2 and many more big names in mobster movies.  The movie is set in New York/New Jersey and there's mob involvement although the story is not about the mob.  It was kinda weird seeing Stallone portrayed like a village idiot for most of the movie but he did very well.  I thought it was great even as it was lots of talk and not much action which I didn't expect from a Stallone, DeNiro movie especially titled Cop Land.  I thought it would be more like a shoot-out movie.  I liked it though.

I watched Hidalgo this morning while working.  Another movie I never get tired of.

Me too.  I finally purchased it to add to my movie collection.

"Into The Forest"

Rachel Evan Wood and Ellen Page play sisters in a post apocalyptic world. Well acted, plot moves along at a good pace but is not an action film. 

 

Pretty scary? Will I be hiding under the covers for a weeK?

I went to see Dunkirk recently, excellent movie.

Executive Decision

It's this old movie with Steven Seagal and Kurt Russell and Halle Berry.  It's one of those cardboard character movies but it was still fun to watch.

"The Nut Job 2". 

Don't waste your money.

Finally got around to watching 12 Years A Slave and wow. I thought it was beautifully and tastefully executed. For starters, I was expecting it to be unbearable to watch, and some parts were difficult, but overall it was put together in a way that educated the audience instead of using shock factor. The characters felt genuine and the story, despite heartbreaking, reminds us that a broken man can piece himself together, no matter the trials endured. The language never exceeded a PG13 rating, that I recall. However, there is some nudity necessary to the plot but you are so engaged in the dialogue and what is going on, you're not focusing on that aspect, rather you are understanding how these families (men, women, and children) were stripped of their clothing, shackled like animals, and examined by potential buyers to live a life as plantation slaves. Personally, the most upsetting part in the whole movie for me was seeing children ripped from the arms of their mothers, and all being sold to different slavers. There is one rape scene that is subtle and shows nothing but is unpleasant, fortunately, it is short lived.

The Decoy Bride

It came up on my "Because you watched (some Christmas movie)" list on Netflix this spring. A couple minutes in, I thought, "This is dumb. I'll give it a couple more minutes and turn it off." But I put off turning it off a couple times, got invested in the story, and have now watched it four times.

Valerian, 3/5 stars. I think they could have made it into a great movie, but it was very slow at times, and the whole "relationship" was weird right from the start.

I agree with the relationship!  And that "if you love me..." thing towards the end of that movie was just... puke.  I can't believe he fell for that crap.  If that was my boyfriend falling for it, I'd have divorced him before we get married.

"The Hitman's Bodyguard"

It's very much earned its "R" rating, but it's a good, campy romp if you're willing to put up with the rest of the content.

"Birth of the Dragon"

The plot is pretty much self-insert fan fiction. 

Everything else is classic 70s kung fu cheese.

"Trouble the Waters". 2008 Oscar nominated documentary about Hurricane Katrina.  Heart wrenching and blood boiling.

I saw the Big Sick. It was my sister's choice. Would have been an amazing movie except for all the F words. Every noun, adjective , verb and exclamation. I was picturing the script writing meeting, Oh no! This sentence doesn't have a swear word! Stick one in!

 I really need a filtering system. I tried to get some help from vidangel with Netflix but they firmly told me that do not work with Canada. Hmmm. I may just have to give up on a lot of popular culture.
