Finally saw Star Trek Beyond. Easily 8/10. Good tie-ins to the original timeline without being a retelling. Humor was definitely good and wasn't the old-timeline preachy. Was a good sendoff for Nimoy.

I've heard that it's hard to follow the plot if you haven't already seen Star Trek Bed and Star Trek Bath first.

I stole that from somewhere, don't recall where.

Actually listened to what Netflix has been trying to tell me and watched...

9/10

Just might be the most twisted Super Hero movie ever. Puts those "Kick Ass" movies to shame.

Still streaming on Netflix.

is it a clone of kick ass... i saw the poster thinking it was a parody.. never watched kick ass 2, but the first one was entertaining..

Finally rented and watched Star Wars: The Force Awakens. 4 out of 5 stars

Very entertaining.

-Harrison Ford stole the show. Almost forgot how much I loved Han Solo as a movie character.

-At times the movie got a little campy/too comedic for me. I wasn't crazy about some of the writing.

-Loved the first parts of the movie. Felt raw, real, dirty/dusty. really brought back good memories from A New Hope. I know some people complained about the parallel story line, and at times I can see why, but in some ways it makes a lot of sense. The movie is kind of based around The First Order idolizing the old Empire so it makes sense they would attempt a similar super weapon etc

-Very interested to see what they do with the Rey origin story. Is she related to Ben Kenobi? The Skywalkers?

-For me Rey started picking up the Force a bit too much/easily and it wasn't built on early in the film enough for me to have her start mind tricking people and pwning Ren but I like the idea.

-The movie felt confused at times at what it was trying to be. Was it trying to be a "kids movie" and rebooting it for a new generation?(This would explain some painful comedy attempt moments and awkward writing like when Rey and Finn come together after they steal the Falcon and have the "OMG, how'd we do that exchange" or was it trying to be an extension of the gritty New Hope/Empire Strike Back? Explained with Solo's death, the opening scenes, the traumatic flashbacks, the final sabre dual etc. It tried to be both. For me, obviously, I didn't enjoy the kid aimed parts but really liked the New Hope/Empire extension angles.

- This movie was infinitely better than all the other Prequel trilogy movies.

Rey is obviously Luke's daughter. R2D2 was supposed to be in "sleep mode" until Luke came home and woke up with Rey's arrival. Plus the light side of the force is fucking strong in her.

Plus... She's got a great ass. Not really sure how that relates to Luke but Leia had a sweet ass too back in the day and that's Luke sister so the sweet ass genes obviously run strong in the Skywalker bloodlines.

The Conjuring 2...total rubbish. It lacked the charm of the first film and what was with all the fucking loud noises? The film was boring, loud, obnoxious, and not scary.

1.5/5

I liked Insidious 1 and 2, and I liked The Conjuting. But the sequel was pure unadulterated feral cat feces.

I like all of those as well and refuse to watch the 2nd conjuring based off of the reviews I've seen. Sinister probably has the best opening to any movie I've seen in the last 5 years. Sucks you in from the jump.

Ethan Hawke does a good job in the lead role.

Sausage party was good. Go high and bring someone who has no idea what the movie is about.

Midnight Special - 1/10 - absolutely sucked. Someone recommended it with the 'since you loved Stranger Things, you'll like this'. It was awful. Slow, boring, stupid.

I travel every week so always watching movies in planes. I've come to the realization that, given 10 movies, 1 will be enjoyable. 4 will absolutely suck. 5 will be bleh.

Really, most movies suck.

This is exactly why I stopped going to the theater. I would get so pissed that 8 out of 10 times I felt like I wasted my money.

Between the cast/crew, trailers, and reviews, it should be pretty easy to avoid movies you wouldn't like.

True.

But, the unfortunate thing is almost ALL movies suck.

i'd really have to think long and hard to come up with 5 movies in the last 2 years that I really liked.

Says a lot when I'm on a plane and rather than watching a new movie, I wind up watching Goldmember or Superbad for the 40th time or binge watching Season 1 of Workaholics or Silicon Valley for the 967th time this year.

The Shallows 4.1/5...really intense, I was bitting on something nearly the entire time. Blake Lively did a great job. You guys should give it a go.

Couldn't disagree more. The only thing good about this movie was Blake Lively in a bikini. She is literally stuck on a rock for 2 hours in the movie. I found it incredibly boring and unrealistic.

Just watched the new audio commentary for Nine Legends documentary (one for the wrestling fans only, really). Very interesting in places, not so much in others. But on the whole it kept my attention.

I have to side with Warden on this one. While it's not a GREAT movie, it's worth a watch.
