What was the last movie you watched?

Rogue One.  8/8.  Last ten minutes are the best of the whole Star Wars franchise.

Episode 9 this year could be epic as well.

Coupled with the start of A New Hope it’s even better.

Finally watched M. Night Shamalamadingdong's Split.

I went in with mixed expectations. I remembered liking Unbreakable, but knew all the recent movies from M. Night have been absolutely horrendous.

However, since Bruce Willis' character from Unbreakable is in Glass as well as the character from Split...I didn't want to go watch Glass before seeing Split.

So, I went in thinking it could be terrible or amazing, overall it wasn't bad at all.

I would say a solid 7/10. 

James McAvoy's acting was amazing, being able to basically play all the different personalities/roles very well. If anything, the only drawback on the movie was that it took too long to develop the pseudo-science (won't spoil) and come out with the final "character/personality".

Definitely makes me look forward to going to see Glass, will probably wait until its out in the cheap theatres now since it is only a couple weeks from that.

Absolutely.   It meshes perfectly.

Word is Ep IX may be announced on GMA on 5 Feb

Started watching You on Netlfix. Jury is still out, but it's entertaining enough.

Overlord 8/10. Surprisingly good. I actually wish I had saw it in a theater. Some nice combat cinematics at the beginning. 

So just finished You. It's worth a watch for sure.

This is one of those movies (like Shawshank or Green Mile) that anytime I'm channel surfing and see it's on, I have to watch it...and for some damn reason the ending always gets to me.

That sucks. I just watched Miller's Crossing the other night (and both Skyfall and Bourne Ultimatum in the past few months, too).

I watched Polar over the weekend. It's wild. Worth the watch.

Watched "Won't You Be My Neighbor" over the weekend. It was fine, didn't understand all the hype regarding it though. Lower your expectations when watching.

Side note, Mr. Rogers gives me the creeps.

I watched Lion again. Good flick, 8/10. Kinda wild how he actually remembered enough to find his mom.

One of my favorite movies of the decade. I was adopted, so that adds a little bit extra for me. But regardless it’s very well done.

Green Book: 8/10

Ali and Mortensen might sweep. Though I think I liked Bale slightly better than Viggo this year and haven’t seen Defoe. Malek was also really good, but would be 3rd for me.

Free Solo is on iTunes now. I'm pissed I missed it both times it came here in Imax, only ran for a week.

Might wait for the next or say fuck it and stream it on my shit TV.

I was sadly mistaken. Glass was a 4/10. Not as bad as some of M. Night Shamalamadingdong’s recent movies but actually boring. 

McAvoy was the only bright spot in the movie his acting was on point again. 

Logan Lucky 

7/10. A redneck Oceans 11.  Pretty solid cast. 

Watched Lion.  Great suggestion.

what are some good shows to binge too? I don't feel right at night when I don't have a show to look forward to.
