    I'm not sure, I think he actually could have saved the film for some demographics, if they had let him walk around shirtless saying "alright alright alright, gunslinger!" a few times.

    Just watched a movie that I did not expect much out of. Hacksaw Ridge. Very pleasantly surprised. I had been familiar with the story for years, have read accounts of this guys actions and everything I had read left me impressed. To learn the back story was great. The movie blew me away.

    Strongly recommend seeing this. Has to be one of the best movies that I have seen in years.

    Great movie. Made by Mel Gibson so it couldn't win best picture.

    I went to see Atomic Blonde this afternoon. Good flick with plenty of action. And any movie with Charlize Theron is worth seeing anyway. She was really hot (moderate nudity alert)......and a serious bad ass. Great way to spend a few hours......

    You should keep your pants on in the theater even after the lights go off UCD!!!!!! What happened at the matinee stays between Pee Wee Herman and his box of popcorn!!

    Icarus on Netflix.

    Oh holy shit, halfway through this. It's a documentary about bicycle racing and OMG things do down a very very dark rabbit hole. Don't want to spoil anything but I'm not a bicycle racing fan and this movie is a fucking trip.

    Must watch!

    We just bought the Amazon Fire Stick. If you are a Prime member all the movie kingdom is yours. However, when I tested for Dunkirk the movie was in Russian. lol

    Just got home from Wind River. I really enjoyed it. Still had an adrenaline rush after the movie for like 20 minutes. Really good movie.

    Also, I literally don't care how much I should like or dislike an actor or director.

    Michael Shannon is one of my favorites and I think we'd have a fist fight in minutes if we hung out together.

    Or we'd be best friends. Michael Shannon is a damned good actor. Loved him in Nocturnal Animals and Midnight special. I thought he was a perfect Zod too.
