The trailer looks good.

Zodiac is great but just too long. Needs to be an hour shorter.

Nightcrawler is depressing in the sense that you will watch it once, enjoy it, and never want to watch it again like "The Road" IMHO. Like most things, give it a good 20-30 minutes and if you aren't engaged just shut it off. Life is too short and we have a wealth of good crap out there.

Yea, tried to watch something this weekend, which VUDU showed as four stars (I'm calling BS). They also promoted it as a Schwarzenegger/Jackie Chan movie, but they were barely in it. We gave it about 20 minutes and looked at each other and said, "next."

That's a perfect description. Great movie but nothing I need to see twice. Not because it was bad, just because I don't need that mood again lol

That's the way I feel about Joker and Fighter. Both good movies, but not sure I'll ever watch either a second time.

That was my thoughts as well. Good acting job by Gyllenahal, he is pretty creepy in it.

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie - 8.5/10

Idk man, but dayum. For a movie about a girl's school teacher...

Ok 9/10. Just finished. Stuck the landing.

Mad Max Trilogy with Mel Gibson.

Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior is the best of all. 4/5.

However, I'm somewhat confused with this character for a long time. Bruce Spence played "Gyro Captain" in Mad Max 2 and he played a different character..."Jedediah the pilot" in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Mad Max 3 is somewhat messed up with this character. Heh, they have burning methane gas and it made of pig shits. I enjoyed all Mad Max movies.

Not sure if they were different characters to be honest, maybe just called something different? Max clearly recognized who he was in Thunderdome and knew he could fly.

Predestination

10/10

One of the more "wow" films I've ever seen. I won't say too much to give it away, just that it's a time traveling film about two people trying to catch two perps in different pasts. It runs a perfect 98 minutes. Starring Ethan Hawke and Sarah Snook.

I finished the whole Rocky movie trilogy on my Apple TV 4K. (I to VI)

Rocky III is my all time favorite.

Was that the one with Mr. T? I need to go back and watch those. Rocky IV is probably my favorite along with the original. Rocky Balboa (2006) is great as well.

Yea, Rocky 3 is with Mr. T.

IV is probably my favorite, but I'm sure it's due the age I was when it came out, and how perfectly it played the Russia vs. U.S.A. dynamic of the time.

I & II are both superior films than the rest, but I just have a huge soft-spot for IV.

Agreed. I think the reason why i like IV so much is it seems more "action packed" than the first 2. Three was going that direction but IV really is the best of the bunch for me in terms of enjoyment.
