    Gifted starring Chris Evans. Very good movie I hadn't heard anything about until I saw it for rent. Loved the chemistry between the main characters and the story was pretty interesting.

    I liked it but thought it was just Jurassic Park with King Kong. I think the sequel should be better.

    Logan was amazing, I hope they just end the X Men movies at it but know they won't.

    I think after the Dark Phoenix movie(s) x-men movies will become more of an individual character movie series.

    Outside of Guardians of the Galaxy I usually prefer those kind of Marvel movies like Deadpool so I'd be okay with that.

    After seeing the trailer for the Dark Tower I was excited to see it, but it ended up not being very good at all.

    When I saw the running time of 95 minutes I was worried because films of that genre are usually closer to 2hrs, so I thought that they must have failed somewhere along the way and had to leave a lot of footage on the cutting room floor. After seeing it, I'm pretty sure that is what happened. I should have checked the rotten tomatoes rating before I went to see it. There should be an Oscar for the people who edit trailers.

    The Dark Tower would have been perfect as an HBO show that would take over after GOT ends, but they completely fucked it up by trying to make it into a movie series.

    At least the new It movie looks okay.

    That cast and those trailers make it look fabulous. I'll probably rent it eventually, maybe there will be a director cut.

    I am a WW2 history buff and Dunkirk was on my list. I liked the movie but a narration would have helped the people who were not familiar with the event.

    Oh, I did it. Watched Snatched with Amy Schumer. She is just so repulsive that I found it entertaining. There's a scene where something is exposed that shouldn't be....LOOK AWAY

    If that needs a spoiler alert, tough shit you need to know.

    It is a dumb movie but we laughed.

    Saw The Founder on Netflix.

    Good movie, was hyped for Oscars last year. Not an Oscar worthy movie but still enjoyable.

    I felt like there was something missing. It was good, but it wasn't great. Didn't feel like there was enough substance, enough story.

    Yeah, Logan was the best Wolverine/Xmen movie by far.

    Yeah, I don't see it as an Oscar worthy film either, but it was a good movie. Keaton played the hell out of Kroc.

    I wonder how many people watched it while eating McDonalds

    Just recently pulled my vhs collection out of the closet and watched Kindergarten Cop today.

    "Who is your DADDY and WAT does he do?"

    "Is that your lunch? Are you eating other peoples lunches? Stop it!"

    Also just watched Arachnophobia. Classic.

    Just saw Revolver with Jason Statham. A really good movie. A mind fuck. Great acting by him and Ray Liotta.
