    Saw Super Troopers 2. Not nearly as good as the first one. Still pretty funny.

    "wasn't bad" - That's code for it stinks. I'll bet she was looking over your shoulder when you typed that.

    Saw 'Payback' for the upteenth time. Still great, especially the opening few minutes, however, the whole movie is great.

    Just saw a rerun of The Appaloosa. Stars Marlon Brando. He's perfect. The bad guy is John Saxon, another great acting job.

    Was dumb as expected. Still liked it some. Would have been better if I was drunk

    Saw Streets of Fire again and it still rocks. Made me want to see Rocky Horror Picture Show again.

    Last night I saw James Bond in Spectre. I copied it three or four days ago and waited until last night to watch it. I enjoyed it but it wasn't as good as they usually are.

    Bump for HCP


    They re released 2001 A Space Odyssey last week on IMAX. Highly recommend this Kubrick classic

    Coming in late on this thread. I saw Leave No Trace with my son 3 or 4 weeks ago, and was pleasantly surprised. I read the book it was based on, My Abandonment, a few years back and hated the ending. The movie is MUCH better than the book (how often can you say that?). I kept waiting for the crappy ending that never happened. There were other changes, that made the movie better than the book, but I don't want to reveal any spoilers for anyone who may be planning to catch this on cable/Netflix when it comes out.

    Sicario sequel was good. Not what I expected and kinda blunt but still enjoyable.

    The First Purge on the other hand. What a piece of shit that thing was. The actors were actually pretty good. The main drug dealer kingpin is very good and an interesting actor I hope to see more of.

    The SJW nutjob writer that created this series and wrote this piece of shit.......I often wonder how they get this stuff made. It makes money...I get that.

    The first few movies were mindless guilty pleasures. This was mindless race war shit.

    I liked both Kingsmen movies but especially the first.
    If you want to see a great old movie, watch Laura with Dana Andrews. This is as terrific as a movie can get.

    How can it be that a movie is better than the book?

    You say that like she's looking over your shoulder.

    The Martian was better than I expected. I'm not a big fan of Matt Damon, but I think he performed enjoyably well in this movie.

    Some of his other movies I like: Good Will Hunting, The Talented Mr. Ripley, True Grit.

    Yeah, that was good.

    I also enjoyed Passengers with Chris Pratt.
