after the uproar over the lack of black actors/films up for awards last year, was it really a surprise that best pic, best actor, best supporting actress...well, you get the picture

I want to see this. I read the book and it was terrible, but the movie looked a lot better.SportsAndLady;1839833 wrote:Nocturnal Animals, 7/10

I havent seen Moonlight yet, Viola Davis was for sure the deserving winner. And Casey Affleck is white.vball10set;1839836 wrote:after the uproar over the lack of black actors/films up for awards last year, was it really a surprise that best pic, best actor, best supporting actress...well, you get the picture

Haven't seen Logan yet, going sometime this week. Saw Xmen Apocalypse. 7/10. I get why the film wasn't as loved as some of the others, but I didn't mind it, and thought it was decent.

I know. Which I've seen. Which is why I commented she was definitely the deserved winner. But can't comment on Moonlight or Ali.ptown_trojans_1;1839867 wrote:And Viola Davis was in Fences, not Moonlight

I saw Logan last night. I'd give it a 7. It ran a little long.

Not saying it was deserving. But I did think Davis was.

The Wraith - Weird 80s action/car movie starring Charlie Sheen and Dennis Quaid. Movie was trash, but had some fun bits with brutal car wrecks/explosions. 4/10

LOL - I guess I'm not the only one who has a guilty pleasure for that. Quintessential early California Brat Pack kitsch. I crack up whenever I picture Clint Howard with that lab coat and wild hair-do, peering under the hood with the lighting bolts coming out of it, and saying "Uh - I've never seen anything like this ..... ".Commander of Awesome;1839952 wrote:The Wraith - Weird 80s action/car movie starring Charlie Sheen and Dennis Quaid. Movie was trash, but had some fun bits with brutal car wrecks/explosions. 4/10
I made the wife watch "The Man With One Red Shoe" (1985; Tom Hanks, Dabney Coleman, Carrie Fisher, Lori Singer, Jim Belushi) with me the other night. Lite fare with a pleasant 1980's faux sophistication. Great interaction with the character actors who play competing spies for different CIA factions.
Mrs. Zunardo kept rolling her eyes thru the movie.

Logan-solid 8.5/10. What a Wolverine movie should have been from the beginning, full of violence.

Kong: Skull Island- 7/10. Pretty entertaining, and John C Reilly killed it.

Same. 7/10. It was pretty much exactly what I expected, fun movie. Setting up for future monster movies. Brie Larson gets a 10/10 though.Fab4Runner;1841041 wrote:Kong: Skull Island- 7/10. Pretty entertaining, and John C Reilly killed it.

Allied - 5/10. It was fine. Not that interesting to me, and kinda boring.
The Accountant - 6/10. Pretty good action movie.
Snowden - 6/10. Pretty interesting, especially since I didn't remember a whole lot about the situation when it originally happened.

Logan 8/10.
As jmog said, what a Wolverine movie should have always been.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - It was my first time watching it. 8/10
The only thing I didn't understand was the actress winning best actress for playing Nurse Ratched. I thought she did ok, but I wasn't blown away by the performance.
I need to watch Chinatown now.

I agree with you on your assessment of Louise Fletcher winning the award for best actress.

Allied: 6/10. The premise was great. The story however didn't seem to ever reach this potential. I didn't feel strongly about the two main characters at all and I think that's what was needed to really make it work.

My husband and I always record about 25 movies when there is a free HBO weekend, so we have a bunch saved for rainy days. Willem Dafoe has been in the last four that we randomly selected to watch. It really weirded me out, lol.
