IMHO Daniel Craig is the best bond. I thought Sean Connery would never be topped but Daniel Craig just seems more dangerous to me.

I don't think he will make another Bond movie and that kinda bums me out.

No doubt about it, Matt Damon is a great actor, Good Will Hunting is in my top 5 movies of all time.

My wife got to see The Martian, and I haven't. I am a little salty about it (she went with her sister).

I bought a couple of those huge horror movie DVD sets you can get at places like Meijer where you have maybe 1-2 notable movies and 10-20 pieces of direct-to-video shit yesterday due to my bizarre love of direct-to-video shit.

Last night I watched one called KillerKiller. There's some definite audio difficulties which are made worse by how the actors are all Brits with a couple that do a lot of talking having fairly thick accents, so it can be tough to follow some of the dialogue, but it was still decent and not overly long at 70-75 minutes.

Basic premise is that a bunch of serial killers are all imprisoned in a facility designed for them. They wake up one day to find all the cells are unlocked, there are no guards and the building a lot more crumbling and in shambles than it had been. And then they start getting killed by an entity which drags them into a situation like those in which they killed people, only to kill them in turn. I don't know that there's anything special about it, but it was made by someone with a brain who actually thought through a few plot aspects so that things actually make sense when you think about them (generally the killers don't get nabbed by the entity until they give in to their homicidal impulses) and the actors were reasonably decent. The two main guys were more serious and introspective, while the support cast was more quirky and had some fun dialogue.

6/10 or so, I guess.

Martian 7/10
Decent story. Good acting.

Pawn Sacrifice (film about Bobby Fischer): 7/10
Steve Jobs: 4/10
Sacario: 8/10
Woodlawn: 5/10

I'd like to see Martian. Probably won't get to tho.
The next movie I see will probably be Bond. Not sure what the 2nd movie will be (as I usually go 2 for 1&#8203

Winnebago Man (2010). Sorry I missed it until yesterday. 9/10

Spectre - 7/10. I am not a James Bond buff by any means, but I enjoyed it.

Spectre (5/10)

I thought the storyline was too disjointed and the dialogue was lacking for a movie devoid of a ton of action. I would see it again, but not if it cost me money.

The Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2 - 7.5/10. A lot more action than part 1, and it wrapped up the story nicely. It followed the book pretty closely, which is always a plus.

This review basically sums up how I felt about spectre

5/10 sounds about right

Taking my son to see Creed this evening....I have pretty high hopes (but I will not go to the movies if I don't)

Spotlight 9/10

Creed 8.5-9

I really liked it....like other Rocky movies it was a little slow 3/4 of the way through but overall really enjoyed it. Son had only seen Rocky 4 and he liked this one a lot even without much background on it

I just saw it too with the GF's family. I would rate it about the same. I had low expectations, but was pleasantly surprised.

Other than that I'm suffering from second hand embarrassment of the reactions of the movie theater. All the clapping and at one point a guy yelled "get up!!!" during one particular scene and cheered when he got up.

I imagine a lot of "pumped up" guys my age or beyond. We were fortunate to have a crowd that just watched (and probably hope he got up)

I was extra excited for this movie because at age 12 I sat in the theater and watched Apollo die in Rocky 4....nearly 30 years later my 12 year old son watched Apollo's son go at it.

The movies are so big (and numerous I guess) that Apollo Creed and Rocky Balboa seem like real people and not movie characters

Disappointed to hear that Spectre wasn't too good. IMO Skyfall is one of my favorite movies ever

SPECTRE isn't quite as good as Skyfall, but it's a solid 7/10 IMO.

Mockingjay Part 2 - 7/10. Solid ending to the story, and agree that following the book is a bonus. They handled Hoffman's absence well, I thought.

Love The Coopers - 2/10. Great cast but that's it. I might have laughed twice...or maybe I had a piece of popcorn lodged in my esophagus, I'm not sure. It sucked pretty hard.

I thought spectre was good. Agree with 7/10

Saw Spectre over the weekend. 7.5/10. I liked this one more than Quantum of Solace, but not as much as Casino Royale or Skyfall.

Waltz just adds to his list of excellent performances.

Took the boys to see Martian over Thanksgiving. Give it a solid 7.5 or 8/10. Matt Damon was really good but the support characters really helped as well.

The actual plot/storyline was done extremely well.

Creed - 8.5/10. Michael B Jordan is one of my faves, and Sylvester Stallone was excellent.

I forgot I saw Mockingjay 2 last weekend. 7/10. I thought they did well at staying right with the book, but to be honest Mockingjay was the worst of the 3 books, I never understood why it was stretched into 2 movies rather than Catching Fire (by far the best book).

It was a good ending to the series, but the book left much to desire so there wasn't much to work with.

If you liked the series, you will like it, just don't go in expected the "awe" you got in the first movie.

Home Alone - 10/10.
