    Swiss Army Man might be my favorite movie of the year so far. So weird and unique, but also hilarious and heartfelt.

    Microbe and Gasoline - good

    Jason Bourne - decent, meaning you'll like it if you are a fan

    Jungle Book - good

    Central Intelligence - OK, meaning it's passable if you just have to see a movie, and you've seen everything else you wanted to see already

    Ninja Turtles 2 - OK, I had time to kill, and didn't want to go home, I took a nap

    And of course it's getting bad reviews... I think I disagree with the critical consensus more often than most. I don't even read reviews anymore.

    Jungle Book was good.
    Birdman was ok, less than the verbal blowies they were giving it but expected.


    FOXCATCHER is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I want to give it away but that would be mean to a friend.

    Yeah, just saw a review for it and it is on Netflix. Was just reading about the movie I just saw and most of it is completely fabricated. What actually happened sounds way more interesting.

    This movie was a boring waste of time.

    Watched the secret life of walter mitty. Wasn't bad, nothing amazing, but an interesting little movie none the less.

    For the Love of Spock was good. It was made by Leonard Nimoy's son and focused a lot on their relationship, which caused the film to drag on a bit. Give me more Spock! Worth watching for Spock/Nimoy fans.

    I saw a German film too called The People vs Fritz Bauer which was decent. Dude hunting Nazis.

    Just watched a movie called Traded and A Perfect Day. Just came out, thought I'd keep myself busy flying all the way home from London. Lets just say they were both horrible!

    I thought a lot of the humor was too forced and for the most part the movie was just ok.

    Saw "A Light Between Two Oceans" yesterday. Knew nothing about it going in. I enjoyed it, but it's definitely a bit of a tear-jerker.

    Green Room was good. Pretty much unrelenting tension. But I guess "Don't Breathe" is even more intense. Sad watching Green Room knowing that Anton Yelchin had died in such a stupid way.

    On a lighter note, I've got to say that I liked Zootopia a lot more than Inside Out. Which was not what I was expecting.

    I hate any movie that makes me actively root for Nazi/Aryans.

    It was ridiculous and I wished a meteor would hit the building and kill all of them.

    If that movie didn't have two Star Trek guys in it nobody would have ever seen it.
