Pretty sure it’s a true story. Some New Yorker journalist got to the bottom of it a few years ago.

Yea I knew it was a true story but I saw what the women looked like who the story was based on and I can’t see them getting “millions”
The Talented Mr. Ripley: 8.5/10 — still holds up after 20 years.
Good Boys: 7/10 (hilarious first half, ok second)
Peanut Butter Falcon: 8.3/10

Peanut Butter Falcon: 8.3/10
Agree with both, Good Boys is one that you can not let kids see, its that bad. But it is rather funny.
Wife and I absolutely loved Peanut Butter Falcon. I was a little leary about Shia LaBeouf as he has been absolutely terrible in recent years and insane. But the movie was good, very good.
The Lion King (1994)
10/10
Rocky 8/10
Rocky II
9.5/10
Ocean's Thirteen: 8/10
Almost as good as Ocean's Eleven. Both are way better than Ocean's Twelve.
How about Ocean's 8?

Better than I expected, but still only about on the level of Ocean's Twelve.

1917 7.5/10 decent movie a little slow at times
Midway. 8/10 predictable but I enjoyed it more then 1917
Richard Jewell 5/10. I had read the book it was based upon before hand, so that was my perspective. The film portrays the reporter for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution as being a whore who slept with the FBI agent who gave her the tip - and suggested that's how she got leads. In the film, she is portrayed by her real name. The agent she supposedly slept with is a composite character - not real. The problem is that the woman has been dead for 15 years. While she was a brash woman, no one that worked with her seemed to believe this is how she operated. I found it to be very unfair to someone who died. Meanwhile the biggest violator or Jewell's rights was a real FBI agent named Don Johnson who was the one who leaked the story to the paper, who interviewed Jewell under false pretenses and who decided he was guilty from day one and then worked backwards. That guy wasn't even in the movie. Instead, a composite character by a different name was used. Bad choice by Clint Eastwood.

How is that?
Heading to see 1917 tomorrow, if my flight gets into Miami on time.
The original Friday the 13th for the first time in ages, where Kevin Bacon plays a horny kid who gets an arrow through his throat!
While the series is famous for Jason hacking his way through a bunch of annoying dipshits before the least annoying and dipshitty of them kills him until the next sequel is ready, the original was framed as a murder mystery with a killer stalking kids trying to renovate Camp Crystal Lake. Overall, it's a really fun film that kind of gets marred a bit by the ending.
1. It kind of hurts the whole mystery aspect of it when the culprit winds up being a woman who wasn't in the movie until the final 15 minutes or so who was only alluded to in the most vague way possible (a couple characters mention how a child drowned in the lake and then other bad shit happened; the killer is said child's mom).
2. Said killer is obviously pretty strong, able to move corpses from place to place in order to keep anyone from knowing what is going on until it's just the killer and Alice (final girl), as well as being able to throw a dead body through a window. Said killer is also a 55-60 year old woman who might come off as in good shape for her age, but probably not "Jason-strong" to the "pick dude up and stash him in the top bunk of a bed so he's not immediately found" level.
3. Or definitely not "Jason-strong", being what that Alice isn't exactly a powerhouse and she essentially owns her all four times they face off, turning it into something that feels like a running joke when she knocks her out AGAIN and, instead of doing anything to restrain her, just runs off AGAIN. The first three times were Mrs. V charging with a weapon, missing and then getting knocked out by Alice. The fourth time was her missing with her weapon, engaging in a wrestling match, getting shoved off Alice and then getting decapitated with said weapon.
Still a 7/10 and better than virtually all the sequels for about anything other than hilarity.

I think a couple of the sequels were better. Those were one of the few movies that scared me as a kid.
Hard to pick the most awesome/hilarious kill in the series,,,but I think I'd vote for the one boxer who holds his own until punching himself out, then says "go ahead and take your best shot" and Jason literally knocks his head off with a right hook.
the Italian job one of my favorites

If there's one that I'd definitely put above the first one, it's the fourth. The crew of disposable meat were at least kind of likeable for the most part (and had Crispin Glover playing a total dweeb in an early role) and the action flows nicely with a few good kills.
The boxer is in VIII. That and Jason X are my favorite "so bad, they're fun as hell" movies. X in particular is not one bit embarrassed to be dumb as hell and it has probably my favorite kill. The chick in the room when Jason wakes up, who gets her head dunked in something like liquid nitrogen so her face freezes and then he smashes it into pieces on the counter. Either that or the dude in a wheelchair in the second one who takes a machete to the face and then tumbles all the way down a staircase. And even if the kill is offscreen, there's something hilarious about the nerdy little paintballer in VI who shoots Jason with his paintball gun, Jason looks down at the splotch, looks back up and even through the mask, you can tell he's pissed by the way he starts power-walking at the guy, who immediately panics and tries to get away.
Eight Men Out
10 out of 10. Great cast. Great writing.
