Spalding, get your foot off the boat.

thavoice was correct here. Great movie. 8.8/10. I liked the Hurt Locker, and would have to watch closer together for a real comparison. But I really enjoyed this story.
One more:
"See that candy wrapper?"
"Yes"
"PICK IT UP!"
Great movie.
I had the privilege of golfing on that course in 1985 with some Miami Dolphin players.

Of course I was right!
What I didn't like about hurt locker was how arrogant that EOD tech was, and when he snuck off post half cocked just really ruined it for me.
posted by justincredible10 Cloverfield Lane was similar. I had no idea it was related until the end.
Also, assuming this is the original jmog, what happened to your original account?
I agree, 10 Cloverfield Lane was somewhat similar but at LEAST Goodman's character was telling them there was an invasion outside you just had to decide, with the women, if you believed him or if he was just plain crazy. Also, the final scene was at least a couple minutes where Paradox it was literally 2 seconds.
Like I said, I actually thought the movie by itself was good, just seriously a bad attempt at the end to tie it to the other movies.
Good question, site logged me out, password wouldn't work, and to be honest can't remember what really old email address I used to set it up. So I figured it would take me 2 min to just register again. Easier than jumping through other hoops.
Unless you want to reset my password for me.

Saw this last night with the wife, I would go 8/10. Great story, really wish they would have subtitled a few times the Afghans were talking amongst themselves. Although, I understand the reason why was to leave the audience as much in the dark as the soldiers were so you feel what they felt. But still at times a minute or more of dialogue with no subtitles was difficult.
Overall the movie was really good though.
I'm an assistant greenskeeper. They say that doesn't mean anything.
Clovefield Paradox 5/10
It was ok.
"You know, I've often thought about becoming a golf club."
"Sit down, come on!" "No, no, I don't wanna stick to anything in here."

Saw "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) the other night - 7/10
Fifty years later, it's lost its luster. I can still appreciate the cinematography, SFX, and lush soundtrack, but it seems nothing more than a museum art piece nowadays. I can't fault Kubrick too much, Arthur C. Clarke's book was not written to be easily portrayed on the big screen, particularly the ending.
On the other hand, the sequel "2010" was a much more cohesive film that is still compelling today. One day I'd like to see "Childhood's End" on the big screen, but I shudder to think what the screenwriters would change it into.
Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri - 9/10
Gotta know what you’re getting into with McDormand, Rockwell and Harrelson, they don’t make typical movies. And this surely isn’t typical, but it’s very deserving of the praise.

Yeah ya wish you could know what was said and they do this to a lot of those movies, i.e. lone survivor but as you stated its likely done to portray how frustrating it can be working alongside someone you just do not know what they are saying. Even with a terp it gets very tedious and it seems like you get very little done.
All eyez on me. 4/8. Was hoping for a much better movie. Hoping USA does a better job on their tupac and biggie series comong up
Three Billboards. Fantastic movie, it will probably win the Oscar.

15:17 to Paris.
1/8.
Woulda gave it a 0 if it weren't for the heroic act.
Act of Valor was able to get away with using real service members as they were doing their jobs for the most part.
This movie,pun intended, was an absolute train wreck. If I didn't know what was going to happen at the end I may have walked out of the theatre.
Haven't seen a movie this bad in years.
posted by Dr Winston O'BoogieWatched Titanic last night with our 11 year old daughter. She loved it. I hadn't seen it since it came out 20 years ago. It has held up pretty good. I remember being sick of hearing about it at the time. But it is actually a pretty good film. The special effects are really good considering how long ago the film was made.
I noticed it on tonight ...6 to 10:30, no thanks
Molly’s Game: 7/10. Better than exp
