The Happytime Murders.

A muppet movie that IS NOT for kids. I enjoyed it a lot.

I wondered...I figure to check it out.

Finally got around to watching "Ready Player One".

I Really wish Hollywood would stop shoveling out dystopias worse than the one we already live in.

The movie itself was a solid "meh" which is about the best that can be expected nowadays.

Disappointing compared to the book?

Saw Mission Impossible 'Fallout'.

Very dynamic, suspenseful, a real cliffhanger. I think a few things were over done, but that's typical. Very entertaining.

Tom Cruise still does a lot of the stunts according to an interview.
He injured his ankle on the jump from one building to another, but jumped up and finished the scene.
He said he knew he couldn't do that again in a retake.

Ha injured! He snapped his ankle like a cheeto puff.

I despise him as a person, but I love his movies. You have to give props to someone of that age doing stunts like that himself.

As a competitive pool player in the late 80's, I wore out my first (VHS) copy of Color of Money.

Operation Finale

Well paced and very good performances. Spoiler Alert - It may take a while but evil gets it in the end.

"The First Purge"

The first one was mildly entertaining so I thought I'd try this on a boring night.

Holy shit, what a racially charged piece of shit. The whole movie is "the NRA and white people want to kill black people".

The hero is a black drug dealer kingpin. Just.....don't. I should have known better.

We watched Hold The Dark on Netflix. I'm honestly not sure how to review the movie. The preview makes it look like The Grey, but it isn't. The movie feels a lot closer to Wind River, with a scene from The Grey as a preview. So while not as good as Wind River, not necessarily a bad movie.
