Trailer is marginally better than the movie :/
 

Vin Diesel tries to leave his Fast & Furious persona but fails miserably. He is better in films with that genre as not much dialogue and acting is required as action scenes dictate the plot.

I still miss her :'(
 

This movie is so riveting, and put me on such an emotional roller coaster...I think I felt just about every emotion imaginable....I ask myself with events that are constantly being brought to life ..tears..the injustice..the brutality of police officers ( I know not all are like those portrayed in this movie or in the news) ..there is a very huge problem that needs to be addressed though....I could go on and on.....I ask myself have things really changed that much today?..Peace and love....."

Saw Star Wars today! Was soooo good. Wish that had been the version that came out when I was a kid.

Hateful 8
 

Saw "Hateful 8". It is the latest Tarantino film. Did not not care for it. Thought it long and rather boring. It had a few moments...just too few for me.

I saw JOY with my folks this evening, Me and Mom liked it, Dad not so much but he was a trooper!

Great acting and chemistry from start to finish. Heartbreaking yet uplifting at the same time. We mustn't forget those who helped pave the way to equality.

Inside Job, Documentary
 

Inside Job, Documentary



Documentary about the 2008 worldwide financial meltdown that cost 20 trillion dollars and ruined millions of people.

Liked it very much and highly recommend it. It has the meat and seriousness I was looking for in The Big Short. This filmmaking team did a lot of research, interviewed a lot of people, and have laid this out in a cohesive and easy to understand documentary. Great job by them.

Jenny's Wedding
 

I absolutely loved it. Great acting, great story, LOVED it!

"The Chorus"
 

Foreign film. A now-famous conductor (orchestra, not train) reflects on his early life as a troubled boy living in a very strict home for problem children.

The lives of the boys are changed with the hire of a supervisor who reaches them through music.

Kind of a tired format, but the film was quite good.

If you enjoy foreign films, I recommend it.

Prescription Thugs (2015)

Enjoyed it very much:popcorn:

This movie may offend those that are pro-life
 

...I enjoyed this Sundance movie. I liked the relationship that grew between herself and her grandchild. Some humor*S....

When four outsiders saw what the big banks, media and government refused to, the global collapse of the economy, they had an idea: The Big Short. Their bold investment leads them into the dark underbelly of modern banking where they must question everyone and everything. Based on the true story and best-selling book by Michael Lewis (The Blind Side, Moneyball), and directed by Adam Mckay (Anchorman, Step Brothers) The Big Short stars Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt.

Now You See Me
 

Now you See Me



I'm watching it now. It's lame, but it's okay and I'll watch almost anything with Woody Harrelson.

Learning to Drive (2014) As her marriage dissolves, a Manhattan writer takes driving lessons from a Sikh instructor with marriage troubles of his own.

It has a stellar cast and I really enjoyed the quirkiness of it:movieguy:

Yeah, I'd throw this in with those films. They're okay, but not the kind of films I usually watch twice—that's what determines if I like a movie. I stopped this one halfway and will watch the second half tonight.

I started watching Grandma (Lily Tomlin) last night and really didn't like it. I'm gonna give it another try this weekend, I think.
