So HoHW was... ok. It really painted gunners in a bad light: bumbling, haphazard shooters at best, reckless dangers-to-others at worst (I guess those are both the same). Not to mention them sticking the Gadsden Flag in the trailer-home of the character with zero morals, that's typical.
The actors did great jobs, but the main characters... maybe I'm too law-abiding. They do a fair job of vilifying the banks (and to be sure, banks have had some downright predatory behavior in the past/present/future), but I wish they had at least paid lip-service to the other side of the coin of "know what contract you're signing." In other words, personal responsibility was taking a snooze during this film.
If you really like Westerns on the big screen, then go ahead and see it. If you'd rather not pay $$$ into the hollywood machine that stereo-types you all day long, then wait for it at the redbox (when you only pay hollywood $2.00).

I absolutely can see your points, I don't want to go into the plot too much to avoid spoilers but it'd be a fun discussion after a fair amount of folks have seen it. I can't speak for Texas but I knew a few places in Arizona when I worked there that those scenes would've played out exactly as depicted lol. I can't remember how many times I've seen American flags in criminal's homes but never the Gadsden.

I've been picking up dolby atmos movies lately and watching them on my 135 inch projector, I have to say atmos technology makes home theaters pretty cool. All the overhead sounds really add depth. It'll be interesting to see if they speed up release of movies for atmos sound systems, right now there's only around 40 dvds

I saw it today with my girlfriend today. I thought it was an excellent movie. IMO it had the same feel as "No Country for Old Men". The cast was great, the plot kept me entertained, and it was just the right time length. I know KestrelBike pointed out some of the finer points of the movie, but you have to go into it knowing it's just that.
As for me...I think the banks are outright crooks and will gladly steal the money off of your dead body if given the chance. They are corporate thieves and liars, the lot of them. But that's my feelings on it.
Now, I think it's on to Hacksaw Ridge.

Nothng Hollywood produces these days seems to appeal to me. First time since "Star Trek: Nemesis" that I've ignored a new release Star Trek movie but the trailers for "Star Trek Beyond" just looked stupid (aside from the one scene with Bones as Spock transports out of danger). I did a marathon of "Blazing Saddles", "Willy Wonka", and "Young Frankenstein" in tribute to the late Gene Wilder, am now watching some classic movies from bygone decades: "Hour of the Gun" and "36 Hours".

It is a proven money maker. People like things with which they're familiar. It's nothing more than that. It's the same reason that Pele complain that pop songs all sound similar. They actually do because there is a known formula for creating music that will become popular and sell lots of records. Same thing with story telling, switch up the characters, update settings and time lines, instant success.
It has little to do with millennials, it just seems like it because your memory is longer now than it was when you were a kid. Every year when I go hunting with my uncle, we spend all of our down time watching old westerns. He tells me who all the actors are, which other movies they were in, when they died, why new westerns aren't as good, etc. Even those old westerns all follow a similar story line. Bad guys show up in otherwise quiet town. Towns folk are upset but don't have the guts to take on bad guys themselves. Good guys step up to clean up the town, but they're out numbered! Also, there is one random lady with a huge rack. It's a theme that works, so is often repeated. It's just about money.

Way to go Iving. You spoiled every western I haven't watched yet.
Sometimes the fight is over gold, sometimes a girl, one time it was over a barge, and another it was over guns stolen from the military.

The perfect 1960 version of The Magnificent Seven was itself a remake of the 1954 Akira Kurosawa movie Seven Samurai.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Samurai
The only complaint I have about any of Kurosawa's films is they are all pretty long. His version of King Lear is titled Ran and it is a very well done movie if you can sit through the subtitles.
We just watched the 1959 version of Ben-Hur. My wife wanted to read the book before watching this version in preparation for the release of the newest version. By the time the new version was release we had both decided that it would be a Netflix movie. The 1959 version cut most of the book plot post crucifixion but everything we've read about the new movie leads us to believe that the director/producer wasn't interested in the actual plot of the book.

The Finest Hours is free on Netflix. I saw the trailer in the theater, but I forgot to watch for it and it passed through the movie houses before I knew it.
It's a show about a Coast Guard station in 1951, and a small crew sent on a rescue operation during the most wretched winter storm on the ocean that I've ever seen. The effects are quite realistic. The cinematography reminds me of Gary Marshall's films. Chris Pine stars, and he does a good job.
This is a very good date movie, especially if your Significant Other is a gentle sort that abhors violence or gore. There is a shot of one body, but no blood or anything gruesome. The suspense is pretty thick, and you can be damn sue I am never, EVER setting foot in a boat or ship on the ocean after seeing this. EVER.
Tan, I need to track down an ex-husband who owes a lot of money and skipped town. I think he's on an Alaskan crabbing boat. You may need to go pretty deep undercover. Can I count on you for the job?
I'm going to give a thumbs down to a couple of movies I watched recently.
Point Break (the newer remake, not the original). Horrible show. Definitely not worth watching. No redeeming qualities as far as I'm concerned. I don't usually mind remakes too much but this was so far off the original it was horrible.
Next was the Revenant. The trailers made it look interesting and while it had some promise it really let me down.
I liked the Revenant. Do you feel like it might have been built up too much?
Yeah. That might be it. Can't really put a finger on why I didn't care for it.

We went to see ​The Magnificent Seven​ yesterday. It was nice to actually watch a classic western. Antoine Fuqua must really love the genre because he really seems to get it. It was really refreshing to see the cast and watch the story and not be bludgeoned with the usual Hollywood crap. This movie could easily have been ruined if the story was used to focus on race or multiculturalism. Just a touch of anti-capitalism, but the basic story from the original involved the farmers vs the gang of criminals being converted to farmers vs the evil mine owner isn't overly done IMO.
Just action and predictable ending. I truly enjoyed the two hours I spent watching this movie.
I came really close to watching the Magnificent Seven with my wife this past Saturday. Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

Hell, NO. I will outsource it to one of those derring-do Alaskan PIs. :)
Or I will just wait until he comes back on shore and serve him papers. I'll send you my rate sheet- I'll need a retainer.

Millenials...
I can't wait to see Magnificent Seven (considering I love the original- Seven Samurai, the 1960 MS is good, too). Michael Brown (of KHOW fame) said when he saw it and Denzel showed up for the first time, he leaned over to his wife and said "The new sheriff is a..." [LOL]
We saw Sully a couple weeks ago. Very well done. Tom Hanks is one of my all time favorite actors, IMHO he's one of the very best. I also can't wait to see Deepwater Horizon. I've heard good things, and Christian Toto says they tone down the enviro-crap and make it more about the heroism.

Saw Mag 7 the other night-I usually don"t care for remakes but I like Denzel so it wasn't bad.
The wife and I went and saw Deepwater Horizon last night. Really made me hate BP even more for their repeated lack of safety for their employees and contractors (they got several people killed in Texas City, TX years ago for lax safety standards). Otherwise, great movie, lots of excitement, Marky Mark was good, and Kurt Russell was great. I'm glad they focused on the heroism instead of the environmental stuff that followed. Peter Berg is good at making the story about the people and not the politics.

Watching "Into The Woods" from 2014. The preview is fantastic, but I thought I remembered it got terrible reviews. I suggested as much to my wife, but was immediately shot down by her and baby. Well, 20 minutes in and this is terrible. TERRIBLE! It's a musical; clearly a musical adapted to film. Hated it..

We saw the movie "Traded" at Walmart, read the back and thought it sounded pretty good.
It was NOT. Do not waste your time or attention.
We can deal with B films. We can even make fun of some of the shows that try so hard to take themselves seriously but fail. Sadly, this show was slow. S-L-O-W. I suspect the director had only a passing knowledge of what Westerns were comprised of, so the actors were told to speak their lines slowly, and have significant pauses in between their lines to sound thoughtful. Ignore the fact that Kansas looks NOTHING like Arizona (which is where this was filmed;) ignore the fact that the clothing was shiny and new while the actors had smudges of dirt and grime on their faces, to demonstrate hard work on a 'ranch'. What kind of ranch, I have no idea because there was no indication of anything but a fence where perpetual horses waited in their bridles and saddles, no matter the time of day or night. Maybe it was a dirt ranch, since there was dirt and dust blowing almost nonstop.
The daughter spoke with a twangy accent. The rest of the family did not.
There was a bunch more fussy stuff that kept throwing me out of the story, but the sub-par acting topped the list. I really, REALLY wanted to like this show, but I could not stomach more than 20 minutes.
We watched John Wick afterward, to recalibrate our blunted movie expectations.

Freddie Steinmark class of 1967.
Steinmark grew up in Wheat Ridge and went to the University of Texas, where he was one of the leaders of the team during its national title win in 1969.
He died in 1971 from a cancer that cost him his leg.
The Steinmark Award was named in his honor, and is given each year to a male and female recipient who are multi-sport athletes and excel on the field, in the class and in the community.

We saw the remake of The Magnificent Seven. It was well done, although it will never replace the original. Peter Skarsgaard is getting typecast as the bad guy a lot, and he's just not got the screen presence or the charisma to pull it off, IMO.
Took me five attempts but I finally managed to get through "Batman vs Superman". Possibly the worst superhero movie ever made.
I'd say if you had to choose between watching this or going shopping for clothes with your wife you should choose the shopping trip.

Tried twice. .
Just sat through Tim Burton completely butcher Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children. I understand culling minor characters to speed up the story, and making some changes for the screen, but completely, and unnecessarily changing characters is annoying and insulting to the original story. The movie strayed very far from the book, but there are three books, and we've only read two chapters into the second book, so I'm not sure if they incorporated some of the second story line or went full retard on the script.

I want to be able to enjoy a movie for what it is and not have a pre existing story to have to compare it to.
What makes it worse is when great books are turned into great movies (Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park, even Game of Thrones) and done true to the story. That just proves that films can do books justice, and when they don't, makes the producers/directors look like a bunch of assholes.

I'd still recommend reading the book. There are some differences and a lot more details on things. It's a good read.

For as much as I dislike Matt Damon and his (lack of) acting ability IMHO, I did enjoy The Martian.
But I also watched it free, and probably wouldn't have paid to see it given it has Matt Damon in it.

"The Girl With All the Gifts"
Don't waste your money on this "sort of" zombie movie. Terrible, even by zombie movie standards OMHO.
John Wick 2.
EXCELLENT movie. I worried unnecessarily that it would not be as good as the first; if anything, the action was even more ramped up. Great storyline, and favorite stars and characters are back. There will be a 3rd in the series. I will not give away any spoilers- just go see it.
Watched "Central Intelligence" with the wife the other night. It was hilarious. The wife and I both laughed most of the way through it.
Two movies coming out shortly I'd like to see at the theatre. "Bitter Harvest" because I have a strange fascination with Russian history and "Logan" because I'm an ex comic book junkie/collector and super hero movies entertain me and Wolverine was always one of my favorite characters. I might try and watch one of the two next Friday during the day if anyone is interested in tagging along.
2/3 of the way through Arrival right now. SciFi movies are probably my all time favorite. Too bad there are so few good ones.
I have Arrival 2 if you're interested.

That's what I have. Got it at Goodwill for 2 bucks.
I forgot about THE Arival. Heh.
Watched SING today with my granddaughter. She got bored with the none singing parts, but my wife and I actually enjoyed the movie. Seth MacFarlane has a pretty good voice for a crooner tunes.
My wife and I are really looking forward to Logan. Seems like Jackman has been doing this character as long as Connery did Bond.

We saw Logan on Saturday- great movie! Really well done, and much darker than previous films (multiple F-bombs- among other swear words), very violent with actual gore when Wolverine kills folks, and really good plot. I feel like they learned from Deadpool, appeal to the adult audience, make it R, and give it more grit than other superhero movies. Overall, a must see. So far my favorite Wolverine/X-Men film yet.
Yeah, I felt the same way about Logan. Awesome movie.

Likewise.
Jackman and Beef Stew (Patrick Stewart) have been doing these same roles for 17 years. They are going out on a high note with a good film. Wolverine was Jackman's first movie role. Just to make it a Jackman week, we watched Eddie the Eagle before going to see Logan. I recommend both movies.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_the_Eagle_%28film%29
Wolverine was Jackman's first movie role.
Actually that's not entirely accurate- He won an award in Australia for his first film role in Erskineville Kings (1999). He had been doing the equivalent of Broadway in Australia before breaking into film.
I watched Sicario finally last night. Really good movie, it's a shame I waited so long!
I watched "The Accountant" last weekend. Thought it was pretty good.
Allied. Pretty good flick. Wife really liked it.

Excellent movie, excellent story, history of brilliant women making significant contributions to the space program, in the face of extreme adversity.

I didn't think Kingsman was a great movie, but it was entertaining. They're coming out with the sequel where Americans join forces with Kingsman...with Jeff Bridges looking like a modern day Rooster Cogburn. Saw the preview. I'll definitely see it when it comes out on Netflix.
IT was an excellent movie. My wife is absolutely terrified of clowns and the premise of the movie itself. She went, she agrees it is good. Not the most terrifying horror film out there, but we were engaged with the screen through the duration. The losers club was quite funny and Pennywise was Very good.
If this thing was in 3D..........
I LOVED Kingsmen. SLJ was a bit irrtating, but the rest of it was awesome. It was surreal seeing Colin Firth as an action hero, but he pulled it off in the church scene which was pretty amazing, given that it was all one long shot.)

Agreed... too many jokes.
I really enjoyed the new Thor movie. I can count on DC movies to satisfy any Doomcookie McGrimDark cravings I have; Marvel knows how to not take themseves too seriously. I think this was meant to be a lighter show, much like Antman.
Just saw Thor: Ragnarok. Entertaining, Cate Blanchett was excellent. I could have done without Jeff Goldblum. He's one dimensional, hasn't changed his schtick since The Big Chill.
More humor than I expected, special effects were great, some typical plots and sub-plots, but overall entertaining.

Mrs BG and I had a date night last night and went to see "Hostiles".
I have mixed emotions on it. If you can ignore the progressive, revisionist Hollywood version of history (it's not subtle, but it's not as over the top in Hostiles as in some other movies) it's a fine movie. Christian Bale and Rosamund Pike are outstanding. The story has a lot of potential but it's occasionally overshadowed by the "sorry us American white people suck so much and are so unfair to you Native Americans" jabs that are interspersed in various scenes. Bale plays Capt Blocker, a long-time Army officer assigned to escort a dying Cheyenne chief and his family from NM to MT. Pike is a farmer's wife picked up along the way (not wanting any spoilers to slip).
There's all sorts of late 1800s violence and it's pretty gritty at times...but I wouldn't call it gruesome. The violence is more a product of a lifetime of emotional hatred than gruesome.
Naturally the group encounters all sorts of trials and tribulations along the way. The most disappointing part of the movie is how little the Natives are allowed to interact and say. When they do speak it's almost inevitably words designed to convey a message of wisdom and forgiveness towards the white man. I guess, in that sense, it's better they didn't have more dialogue in the movie.
I'd give it about 4/5 stars based just on the story, cinematography and acting. When I think about the typical, progressive Hollywood bullshit they just can't seem to resist, that's also completely unnecessary, my rating drops to 1/5. Fortunately there's enough action and other drama in the film to keep my mind from thinking too deeply about the obvious message. It was only when I had time to think about it that it started to bother me.

I can overlook certain discrepancies as long as the entertainment value is high...like the Army still fighting Indians in 1892.

Didn't he move from New York to Chicago at the end of the first book?
Caught "6 Days" on Netfix-hmm, rather disappointed with most of it. I did like Mark Strong as the negotiator though don't feel he really got to show his chops, same with most of the actors. You'd also think only 8 SAS members made entry and took care of business. Nice mixture of period BBC news footage with recreation but not enough to overcome it's faults.

Slow, inconsistent, not a particularly good script or dialogue.
Special effects were good, but not enough to make it worth the ticket price.
Just watched 'Radius' on Netflix. I was not expecting much, the premise sounded pretty stupid. Slow first act, but as more and more pieces of the puzzle came together, it became a really cool sci-fi psych thriller.

Saw "A Quiet Place" with Emily Blount and what's his face Krasinski.
Good movie, suspenseful, entertaining, scary in a few places.
Maybe I'm old or jaded. Having seen just about every kind of monster movie plot, I've developed habit of picking apart the silly things in movies.
The only real firearms in the movie were shotguns. If you've got creatures out and about, why not get better weapons and develop a kill zone and a perimeter?
This does not give away any of the twists in the movie, the end is great.
My preferred creature dispatching weapon is a shotgun. Buckshot and slugs only. The movie people are probably using birdshot.
Took the kids to go see this movie today:

Didn't bother to ask any one attending their name.
Almost had an incident with an older senior female, who wanted to make a scene over the seat we were in. She said she needed to sit somewhere more comfortable, other than her wheelchair. I suggested she call her insurance company ;)
Maybe Jesus only went to the showing that Ridge attended.

I'll do you one better; WHY Gamora??
I really liked the movie, I'm even considering seeing it a second time in the theater, I can't remember the last time I saw one more than once in the theater. But I think they dropped the ball on the advertising on this one. They should never had said there is 2 movies in the War, can you imagine the people losing their minds thinking this is how it ended? And they could've done no trailers for this one with new footage. One trailer with Nick Fury speech recited by the characters showing footage from the previous movies and that was it would've been cool. I mean nobody was undecided on seeing this movie before the trailers came out. At least they didn't give away all the good scenes in the trailers like a lot of movies do now.

Why you ask.

Remember NO SPOILERS , Please.
The humor in this one played well, the part where one ask.
(loose quote) Is Footloose still the greatest movie ever.
Watched Thor: Raganok some time back. Not sure which direction the movie wanted to go, humor or serious. Which showed too well through out it.
But Cate Blanchett was incredibly hot.

Didn't realize it was her till the credits rolled. Definitely a different role for her, actually made parts of the movie worth watching.

Was she Hela Hot? [ROFL1]

I saw this today and recommend it. For non-actors the story felt real. I'm not sure professional actors could have made this movie better and probably would have made it harder to watch.

One of my buddy's saw it this weekend and he was blown away! He's a huge Marvel and DC nerd, also happens to be black, and these were his words "Black Panther couldn't even hold Infinity war's jock strap, and I'll debate that with any person of color". Not trying to stray off topic or anything, but it made me laugh.
happens to be black
Lol. Reminds me of a George Carlin skit.

I enjoyed Black Panther. Fun movie with great characters, especially his sister Shuri
Last weekend, though, I realized that it's the same plot as the first Thor movie, but from Loki's perspective. Where the brother and rightful heir to the throne was sent away and has to return and fight for the right to rule his people.
Lol. Reminds me of a George Carlin skit.

Not a movie but close enough. I am at the Arvada Center for the second time with one of my granddaughters for a musical. Today was Seusical the Musical. Last year was A Year with Frog and Toad. My wife and I have season tickets at the DCPA. The performances at the Arvada Center are outstanding and a bargain compared to other theater. If you have children I highly recommend that you take them to a performance at the Arvada Center.

Solo: A Star Wars Story.
It was bad, really bad.
The audience was silent throughout the movie.

I thought it was fantastic. Plenty of laughs, molded nicely to Han's character from IV, V and VI. The director tied things in nicely from the originals and made great seamless connections.
Action was good and constant and I thought the plot and storyline were well thought out.
Much better than that piece of junk that was the Force Awakens. 🤢🤮

My wife and I enjoyed Solo, but she's a huge SW nerd/fan (has read all the books, etc) and she pointed out a few plot holes, but for the most part it apparently follows the original books.
