Hmmmm should I watch the movie or pull a Chinook and just read the book based on the movie instead?
haven't seen "the promise" but armenian community is predictably hyping it up as a must-see. plus oscar isaac and christian bale are great actors, so there's that.

I've not read the book so I cant say right there but the original source is always best, imo.
Still, this movie is worth a watch at the very least.
Get Out - I was never really followed the works of Key and Peele, and I was skeptical of Get Out when I saw the trailer. This movie is ing good, though. It knows how to build tension, unlike most horror movies these days. It has an overall feeling of discomfort, dread and mystery, like The Shining. Would recommend.
The Wolverine (Extended Version) - I have never seen this movie before. I saw Logan before I saw this. The extended version (I can't speak for the theatrical cut) is good. Maybe the 6.7 rating on IMDB would have been higher if this version of the movie was released instead of the other one. This movie is basically Logan-lite. Three " s" are dropped and there is some blood in the action scenes. The thing is, anybody who has seen The Wolverine and Logan knows that the latter is far more brutal and uncompromising. The opening scene of Logan alone is gorier than anything in The Wolverine. I would recommend it to Wolverine fans. I just wish that Silver Samurai wasn't a mech, and that Viper had more to do.
Guardians 2: 7/10
Goon.
I've always liked it. Wasn't any different when I stumbled over it on Netflix yesterday. 7.5/10
I find Alison Pill strangely hot in this movie.
Love the save the Goal with the face Scene (1 Minute mark):
Split.
7/10
Solid movie but I remember more of the good acting of the guy with the many personalities and not the plot.
Was the soundtrack any good? Guardians 1 had an epic soundtrack, tbh.
3-4 songs were good... But 1 was much better.
I thought guardians 2 blew. 4/10.
All the songs were B side songs except for Brandy.
I almost fell asleep
Yeah, concur.
The last 5 seconds of the movie were great too
Live by Night with Batffleck.
Meh, 7/10. The setting and car chase scenes were great. The plot moved way too slow, could have cut out at least 30 minutes
Zoe Saldana.....I don't get it....something about her elbows I guess.
it was excessively long. but i have to go with "flashlight" by george clinton at the end, even thought it did not come until the closing credits.

Prestige 9/10
Love rewatching this movie. I always pick up new things on every watch.
The Ed Norton movie the Illusionist had similar potential buy was ultimately a letdown because they didn't show how he did the trick at the end
I was about to bring this up. I saw The Illusionist first and it was better than expected. Then saw the Prestige and it wasn't as good as I hoped. Still a good movie but I preferred the Illusionist. That being said, I haven't rewatched either.
Thinking it over. ...I like the first 75% of the illusionist a lot but the end sucked.
The first 75% of the Prestige was just okay but the end was insane.
Yeah...that's fair. But I didn't come away feeling cheated in The Illusionist as to the ending. Maybe I need to watch them again.
watched magnolia last night, felt like a whirlwind.
i'd give it... at least an 8 outta 10.
i HATED when the characters starting singing along, i was like WTF?
i hated the aimee lee or whatever songs they used too. those songs sucked.
Watched this the other day for the first time after seeing this post, good look one of those movies I didn't watch at the time of its release and completely forgot about..
The Accountant
7/10
Rewatching some of the Friday the 13th movies.
Freddy Vs. Jason-2.5/5- Horrid acting but the last half an hour sort of saves it from being a complete train wreck.
Jason X-2.5/5-The movie almost sort of worked in an odd way but the cyborg chick was completely over the top which is hard to do in a sci-fi horror film set way in the future.
Friday the 3th Part IV- 3/5 Still probably the best of the series which isn't saying much.
Friday the 3th Part III- 3/5- Jason gets his mask and machete but that's about really all that is memorable about it.
War for the Planet of the Apes - 9.5/10
