I really enjoyed this one too. I was actually distracted by the countryside because it looked so much like Idaho, but twice as pretty. Couldn't stop wondering. Turns out it was shot in New Zealand. You can definitely see where they shot some of the Riders of Rohan and Aragorn falling off cliff scenes. Kristen Dunst was so good. It was so hard seeing Mary Jane go through that. Cumberbatch was shockingly good as a menacing Clint Eastwood type.
We're going to see the movie tonight..........tonight. Much looking forward to it. Spielberg produced, so that gives it extra credibility.
Going to see West Side Story on Christmas Day @crandc - like any good Jew ! We just watched the Beatles movie on Disney+ - incredible! @riverman, have you seen it? My musician friends are gobsmacked watching it. We loved it too, and I can't even read music.
I got Disney+ to watch Beatles. Still have part three pending after which can cancel Disney. Not much else there interests me. I will see if any local theatres open Dec 25 showing West Side Story.
I haven't finished it yet but have seen the first part and love it....great film. Made me really happy.

I watched Ridley Scott's "The Darkest Hour" last night with Gary Oldman playing Winston Churchill and it was a really great movie about the beginnings of WWII and Churchill's crowning moment in it.....Ridley Scott makes great movies.
Saw Being the Ricardos It was pretty good Nicole Kidman plays a better Lucille Ball than she does a Lucy Ricardo Javier Bardem was a good Desi Arnaz. They had a good chemistry together I would have liked to see John Leguizamo play Desi.
Saw a recent repeat of The Predator which was still great the second time around. If you like science fiction coupled with action you're going to love this.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall was forgettable. Not sure how Jennifer's Body ended up on my list. Demon possessed high school cheerleader not my cup of tea.
