Pacific Rim Uprising: 6/10 It has it's moments, and the battles are very thrilling, but it suffers from some wooden dialoge and an excess of Charlie Day. I really wanted to like the plucky little girl character, she had the look, but her delivery left much to be desired.
Pacific Rim Uprising: Either the best worst movie ever or worst best movie ever. Good action; ehhh plot at best. 7/10 would watch again, absolutely mesmerizing in IMAX.
I don't know if knowing the story/history going in is better or worse. To me, I think I caught some smaller stuff (handing flowers to the girl's parents) that I wouldn't have if I'd gone in cold. But I have no frame of reference.
That movie looks weird and cool as ****, right up my alley, never would have heard of it if not for this thread. I've heard great things about "A Quiet Place" and "Unsane" as well. Lemme know what you think. Shouldn't there be a sharknado somewhere in there?
I watched Wind River because of you guys. I'd give it an 8.5/10. Great performances from the cast. That movie makes me terrified of having a daughter.
Such a simple little movie in some ways and what a success. Tenson, great characters you can care about, real stakes, believable action, with one scene pushing the next, beautiful filming, a soundtrack that always fits and enhances the mood... Not one minute is the audience waiting to see how loud a knife can be buttering a rich person's toast.
Ready Player One 7/10 I think I liked the nostalgia and "cameos" of pop culture icons more than the actual characters in the movie. Of course book > movie but what really bothered me was the main character's actor. He just has a really punchable face.
Pacific Rim 2. 6/10. The cast was full of teenagers. My kids really enjoyed it I didn't. 60 percent of the movie was mumbo jumbo Disney talk that I fell asleep and woke up to the last 10 minutes of the movie. The way they killed the last monster was pathetic.
Daddy's home two - 7... solid "stupid" comedy movie. Jumanji - 8, I thought it was going to be god awful when I saw the commericals but it was surprisingly good. Coco - 10, awesome animated movie, all the emotions of death and family actually gave me one of those single tear down the face try to hide your girl from seeing it moments. Highly reccomend.
I watched Wind River after reading the positive reviews y'all posted - a simple story, but well done... 8.1/ 10.
The Titan - 7/10, It's a Netflix original, SciFi movie and it had some potential but it went the sloppy route rather than progressing the original premise which I thought was really cool, sort of in the realm of the movie Species. Mute - 6/10. Also a Netflix original, kind of a strange movie. The Outsider - 5.5/10. Also a Netflix original, stars Jared Leto. Like The Tian it has some promise, this one is a Japanese gangster film but Jared Leto is just too effeminate to me to be taken seriously as a gangster. Looks too much like a female David Bowie.
Watched I, Tonya last night. Mixed feelings about the film half way through, couldn't figure out why people were referring to it as a comedy with all the hitting, punching, and domestic violence. Then it hit its stride with the telling of "the incident," and then voilà, it was Goodfellas, both in style and structure. Found out afterward reading reviews, everyone makes that comparison, and it's easy to see why. So overall well worth watching, and probably bears re-watching. 8.5 out of 10

Disaster Artist: 8.0/10 I liked the movie. Was interested to the end. Franco immersed himself and he disappeared into the character His brother was more himself in the movie until the second half where he started to shine a little more. But I don't know how I feel about the ending. Wanted more of a genius ending, yet the movie he made was a let down and didn't come off as genius as I wanted it to be. And I get that, but I needed more. I also left wanting to know more about this mysterious guy. So left wanting. But not in a good way. Do I think they captured exactly what happened. Yep. Is it a great story as told? Think it's interesting, but didn't change me or move me. The movie probably did exactly what it wanted to do to me, but it would have hit more home runs if it went with a Hollywood ending.
Paul, the Apostle. - 10/10. It's good to realize that we can pray anywhere without getting burned to death by the government.
