    It was really really good. That scene when she was sneaking out of his place was fabulous. Don't even wanna say why it was fabulous... don't wanna spoil it.

    Baby Driver was entertaining. Nothing amazing but quite fun.

    Remember with Christopher Plummer was really good and quite sad but worth the watch.

    Saw Battle of the Sexes yesterday with the Mrs. It was actually a pretty good movie.

    Today I saw Happy Death Day. Pretty good for a horror\comedy...fun to watch.

    Just rewatched the Stanford Prison experiment. Crazy. Maybe we should have an S2 prision expwriment. Who would be prison guards and who would be prisoners though.

    Triple 9 is one of my fav movies. Wasn't a box office hit or much talked about, but a good, gripping flick. Got turned on to it after hanging out in Atlanta last year (movie takes place there).

    Molly's Game - very good
    I, Tonya - good
    Justice League - pretty good
    The Disaster Artist - OK

    1/9/18 +For a different twist please check out Utube--American Experience-Walt Disney. It is incredible! More than Mickey Mouse and so forth.... He and his brother Roy developed an incredible 1200 employee empire, of which their studio became a utopian world, affected by labor strikes, lead by agitators like Art Babbit (who was a head animator), and a series of fascinating stories that you would be impressed with.

    I was surprised that The Foreigner was as good as it was... Jackie Chan still kicking some serious ass in a VERY serious/dark movie.

    Saw The Post. Decent. A little simplistic but great performances by Meryl Streep and Bob Odemkirk. Tom Hanks is doing his best late Spencer Tracy routine with panache.

    Really want to see Den of Thieves when it comes out.

    Saw the new Star Wars yesterday.

    How many times can they follow the same predictable plot?

    Fisher and Hamill managed to get through their scenes completely without emotion throughout the entire film.

    Watched 15 minutes of Cell Block 99 with Vince Vaughn. It is a highly rated movie apparently. I guess being the type of person prone to fits of rage the phony sequence in the beginning where he trashes a car threw me off more than most. Couldn't finish it.

    I know he is a tall dude but there is no way on this Earth he could rip a car hood off with his bare hands. So dumb. I may finish it someday when I get bored.
