    Wife got me PS3 for birthday. Wanted to take it back but as you said, bluray player. Kept it. Told friend about how dumb games were and he said just try it.

    Rented call of duty or something. Told friend how fun it was. He asked if I played online. Said NO, stupid people do that.

    He said just try it... tried online and was HOOKED

    Got BF3 and got hooked on shooting helicopters out of the sky and the hate mail I got from people who thought I was cheating.

    Haven't played for years but was top 20 for T90 kills when I quit. Still 42

    The Disaster Artist was very entertaining.

    yerp, not as good as the first - but pretty decent - fun watch.

    one thing that kinda sucked was there wasnt really a villain.

    all you need to know is 'parachute scene' and thats the high point of the movie.

    a few good cameos too

    I'd agree with Blayza, Deadpool was entertaining, but the bad guy was pretty weak.

    The Disaster Artist was pretty good if you know anything about the Room, James Franco shouldn't have resorted to nepotism to give his brother the other leading role though.

    A quiet place- interesting concept with a lot of plot holes. It’s okay

    Ready player one- if you have ever been a gamer, there are a lot of nods to gaming. I liked it because it’s different but it’s also pretty mediocre and god damn there is waaaaay too much cgi

    I watched that earlier this year. I liked it only because it was different and I like out of the norm shit. I’m so tired of every movie having the same tropes and predictable plot lines. So literally if any movie does anything different than normal, I give it extra points even if it’s ass. I liked annihliation. It was solid. The sameness director that did ex machina. Thought that movie was way better though.

    Yeah. Spoiler alert....

    That talking bear thing scene was super creepy. The wife had a nightmare about it.

    These two weren't bad:

    First Reformed - Still thinking about this one.
    The House of Tomorrow - Sheltered teen and sickly teen start a punk band.

    Just saw Ocean's 8 with the wife. Wasn't as good as I hoped it was going to be. Something was missing. The writing was off. Story was perhaps to easy, boring at times. I wanted more from it. Cate Blanchette was the best. Sandra Bullocks counter part to George Clooney's Ocean was a bit off par. A group of strong actresses that were terribly underused. Characters that were too simple. Not having Julia Roberts in it was a miss.

    Death Wish was mildly entertaining but nothing new. Filler

    I thought it was ok. I'd agree with being midly entertained. Bruce is getting old. I hope if they do sequels they center each around a new lead, another citizen who was inspired by the last to take justice into their own hands. Bruce Willis's character went viral in the movie. Someone was watching. Someone whose story we should see next.

    Bruce is just a bit too old to be cool and just a bit too young to be cool in this movie. Harry Brown was a much better version of this.

    Back to this. Elizabeth Shue is still a damn fine looking woman. Hope she doesn't go surgery crazy because she looks good.

    There is a similar movie called Death Kiss coming out and apparently they cloned Charles Bronson
