    There are some plot holes to be sure. But it's a dark action comedy... not Out of Africa. I think the critics sometimes go overboard when they look at films. This film is meant to have you in the back of your seat.

    I'm gonna see Baby driver this weekend. Just curious, did they work in that old KISS song Baby Driver?

    No. I don't believe so. Which was funny because there was a ton of glam rock in the film.

    Gene Simmons probably wanted too much money for them to use it.

    Gene Simmons is the biggest douchebag in R&R. And I love Kiss but fuck that money grubbing POS.

    Anyone seen Spider Man? I really wan't to see it but I don't go to movies as much lately. Needs to really be big to get me to buy tickets, I'd rather spend +$8 and be able to watch it unlimited times whenever I want to.

    Anyone excited for Planet of the Apes or Dunkirk?

    I really like the last two Apes films. Can't wait for the next one which opens this Friday, and then Dunkirk on the 21st.

    Im excited for Apes. Im a fan of the series. That said my only qualm is there being a new actor every movie. I wanted Walbergh back for a sequel. Liked Franco. Then he was gone. Then Jason Clark. Now Woody Harrelson. I just wish there was some more consistency. Makes it harder to follow with all the cast changes.

    Just watched The Lost City of Z. Well done movie. Its a little boring to start but it picks up and keeps your attention, especially if your into the story of Percy Fawcett.

    Charlie Hunnam actually played percy faucett perfectly. I'd recommend watching it.

    Shin Godzilla was a very nice b movie rendition of the old cheesy Japanese Godzilla movies from the 60-80s with some shitty CGI thrown in. If you liked those you should give it a try.

    Ghost in the Shell was absolutely dreadful and shouldn't have been made.

    Dunkirk was a ride, and War for the Planet of the Apes was great too.

    Colossal with Anne Hathaway and Jason Sudeikis. Very different movie.

    Just saw Dunkirk today (in air conditioned comfort). An outstanding movie about incredible bravery and achievement. I've always been fascinated by the story and Christopher Nolan does it real justice. Highly recommended.

    Can't think of a Nolan movie I didn't like.

    Triple 9

    Since visiting Atlanta for the first time, gotta say I love that city.

    However, don't think this movie really represents ATL for most. Still, great flick!
