Upgrade. 7.5/10
As the critics say, it truly is B-movie action/sci-fi schlock styled in the brutal 80-90s vibe. It subverted my expectations/predictions several times. It's a ridiculous movie but it has a surprisingly solid plot and surprisingly good lead acting. Not a movie I'd have paid to see without MoviePass, but was a fun bit of entertainment.
watched Blade Runner 2049 w/ Garrett.
I watched Smokey and the Bandit. Its and incredibly fun movie. According to the special features it added the word Sumbitch to the American vernacular.
Blade Runner 2049. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I really need to get to the theater to see some of these when they come out. But damn, it's hard to find time and so inconvenient, though I love the theater experience.
If I think it'll be a high-quality movie, I do my best to mimic the theater experience at home. With the big flat screen, you can make it dark, have a great sound system, make some popcorn, but still hit pause to go to the bathroom and not miss anything like at the theater. So maybe this works out just fine.
Would love to see "Little Pink House" (based on real life eminent domain abuse)
watching Frankenstein for the hundredth time.
Hotel Artemis.
4/10
All four of those points come from the fact that is has Sofia Boutella who always brings the scary kinda sex appeal. I'd let her do some things to me.
re-watched THE BOOK OF ELI.
I saw the premier of The Incredibles 2
watched
Secretary (2002) w/ guys;cute film.
An oldie, but a very, very good film.
The ballad of Cable Hogue

I am looking forward to seeing Ocean's 8
Watched Incredibles 2 over the weekend. PURE AWESOME!
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
I saw Ocean's 8.
I can't remember what movies I want to see. I usually miss all of the previews.
I liked the characters a lot in Oceans 8.
Sicario: Day of the Soldado.
I might even give into watching it at Cinema w / guys on June 29.
I really want to see the Mr Rogers movie, I loved him when I was growing up.
Also want to see Incredibles 2, and was interested in Hotel artemis, but it came and went so fast I never got the chance.
Upgrade was a good time, and not only did it have a dark ending, if you think about what was likely to happen in regards to tying up loose ends, it gets even darker.
Just seen a preview of Sicario 2. Better than I expected, given I thought the first was fairly average. Way less tension and more action in the sequel, though, which is kind of a shame. Great drone/helicopter shots of course.
A flimsy, typically sensationalist tabloid opening (hey, anyone with a prayer mat is a terrorist who loves blowing up children... riiiight) sets up the rest of the film's set pieces which segue from scene to scene with moody gazes and pointed dialogue.
Gorgeously shot throughout. Tonnes of great bloodletting scenes. Brilliantly acted all round, but overall nothing I'd watch again. A bit like the first one in that regard.

I went to see Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and I'm starting to feel like the only person that thought, meh.
I checked my watch four times. That's not a good sign. I love Jurassic Park and I really enjoyed Jurassic World, but this one didn't get me.
Finally saw Solo. I liked it, but I also get the Star Wars fatigue.
I saw the documentary of Fred Rogers, "Won't You be My Neighbor", today and it moved me to tears several times during the movie.
I watched 10mins of the new IT film. No good.
Boo.
The Paper is very well acted but like the video implies, it runs along the lines of every newspaper movie ever made.
