posted by O-TrapWife's a big sucker for made-for-television Christmas specials, so we watched some movie last night about some European prince running away to a small town in the US for like a week prior to Christmas (on which he was going to get married).
I didn't get all the details, and I don't know the name of the movie, but that was the gist.
I swear my wife DVRs every single Hallmark Christmas movie every year.
Cars 3. It was entertaining.
Anyone use MoviePass? Costco has a deal where you get a year for $89.99, I just bought two memberships.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle
Not bad. Not quite as good as the first one, but not terrible. Might watch it again.
Kill the Irishman: 2/10 (horrible acting; a guy with an Irish accent who'd never been to Ireland)
The Good Shephard: 6/10 (interesting but a little too long)
The Box: 6/10 (great premise but the plot got bogged down during the final 1/3)
The Imitation Game: 9/10 (great story, great acting)
The Last Castle: 2/10 (a ridiculous plot with major holes on top of it)
The Driver: 8/10 (Good plot, great acting by Ryan Gossling)
The Founder: 7/10 (Great acting by Michael Keating, interesting story of Ray Kroc)
Currently watching The Santa Clause.
Just watched Blind Side
Went to see the Last Jedi last night and while I enjoyed it I just really don't like Adam Driver as Kylo Ren. I just don't buy that he would be what the offspring of Han Solo and Princess Leia would look like and I think he seems like a whiny little bitch angsty teen.

I enjoyed the movie quite a bit. Didn't like the Fin and that one girls part but overall a great movie. I am not buying the answer we got on reys parents tho . As far as Kylo I agree but that is a part of his character

Both Luke and Anakin were really whiny bitches sometime, but he does take it to the next level.
The Hateful Eight: 8/10. I liked the dialogue a lot. I’d probably rank it 3rd of the five QT movies I’ve seen, behind Basterds and Pulp Fiction, ahead of Django and Kill Bills.

I think this is my favorite Christmas movie. I loved it when I was a kid, and the nostalgia holds up now.
The Last Jedi. Overall 7/10, "grab you factor" when you're fully pulled into the world the movie is portraying, 3/10. Not the worst SW film, but just another one.
I saw the last Jedi last night. I liked it a lot. It wasn't the best movie ever made and there were a few points i had issues with but i like star wars and i thought this was one of the better ones. (I do get what queen city buckeye says when he says it's just another one, but i honestly think you could say that about all of them except #4)

Not nearly as good as the first, but not awful. Agent Pena, and his stupid lasso, kind of ruined it for me.
Last Jedi. 7 of 10.
I thought it was good. I was not in love with all the jokes in it. The opening can you hear me joke by Poe was pretty bad. Some parts of it I felt the just rushed things. I enjoyed it, but I watched Rogue One and The Force Awakens the last few days and I liked those movies more than this one. Some parts of it I felt it wasn't a Star Wars movie, but again, it was just good, not great.
I will say that after watching Rogue One again, man, I love that one., It may be my second favorite Star Wars behind Empire.
Looking forward to Will Smith's Netflix original....saw a review that said it was pretty decent, and theater blockbuster-worthy.

Agreed. There's a line to walk with over-the-top spy movies like that, and the electrocution lasso was on the retarded side.
I also have to confess that I felt pandered to with the whole 'Statesman' parallel. "Oh, there's a US equivalent? Gee, I wonder how that will play with US audiences?"

It’s up there for sure. I might go Home Alone over it (and I have a soft spot for A Christmas Story)

I agree with your ranking of QT films. Hateful Eight was pretty good.
