Captain Marvel, 7/10. I liked it. I agree it was not as good as Wonder Woman, but Marvel knows how to make these movies now. It is pretty much a formula. This hit all the right notes. The 90s references were a bit too much sometimes. But, I laughed hard when they inserted the CD and it took some minutes to load up.
Free Solo: 7/10: Finally caught it this weekend. The last 25 minutes when he climbs is nuts. Even when you know he makes it, it is still hard to watch in spots.

My 2 main jobs in HS and college was Blockbuster and I was a waiter at Chi-Chi’s.
I went and watched the movie with my wife and sister. After she crashed through Blockbuster and went to Radio Shack, I leaned over to my sister and said “if they stop at a Chi-Chi’s and eat a twice grilled bbq burrito and fried ice cream I am leaving”
Captain Marvel: 7/10
Agree with most of the posts so far about it. Bumped half a point because I thought the origin story basically being for all Avengers/Fury on earth was kinda cool.
Brie Larson: 10/10
Triple Frontier, 8/10. A great flick about retired soldiers making one last run. Great freaking cast.
It feels like an old school 80s action movie in spots.

Agreed. I gave it a 9/10.
I give a Triple Frontier like a 6.5-7/10. Edge of your seat at times, but the climax was way to early in the film. Where was the bad guy? The conflict? How are they so smart...then become so dumb? But mostly...there was literally no bad guy. It was weird.
Us - I'm not sure on the rating yet. I'm still processing. But I liked it a lot.
Triple Frontier- 7/10. Good, fun movie. The cast is very attractive.
The Dirt - 9/10. Loved it.
It's been a very productive weekend.
Saw Us tonight. It wasn’t bad. Not sure it lived up to its hype. 7/10 I’d say.
Early showing of Shazam. Not terrible like most DC movies, not as good as Wonder Woman or Aquaman. Definitely better than BvS and JL.
5.5 or 6/10. Worth seeing but can wait until it’s on Netflix or Hulu.
Inside Man...always enjoyed this movie. Love the actors/actresses in it. 8/10
Ending is a little bit unreasonable but it's entertaining!
I wonder about adults who watch super hero movies.

I just watched a film called "Irony".
Just watched Rocky, Rocky 2, Rocky 3, now watching Rocky 4. I guess I'm old school or an old man.
Sweet, post a link to the trailer please.
Unless its about Iron Mans cousin. You know how I feel about super hero movies.

...and I wonder about 'adults' who continue to not only post in the high school forums, but reply, repeatedly, to their own posts...again, go away
Layer Cake, just got added to Netflix.
8/10
"The Sense Of An Ending" (2017) - 8/10
Just saw this on cable this morning. The plot intrigued me, and I got sucked in, but it was worth it.
Tony, divorced man in his 70's with a 38 year-old pregnant daughter, re-lives painful memories and uncovers even more painful truths about himself and others, when he gets a letter and some money from the estate of woman he met only once - the mother of a girl he dated in college.
The story is told in a series of flashbacks, with Tony using his ex-wife and daughter as sounding boards, and his surviving college chums help him cyber-stalk and locate his old flame. Eye-opening plot twist just before the poignant ending.

One of my favorite movies. Love the cast and the writing.
I've been watching nothing but kids movies since my daughter has been old enough to start enjoying them, but I do have to say that I think Secret Life of Pets is enjoyable.
