Yeah, The Winter Soldier is awesome. Not even sure how many times I've watched it... At least 5. It's the only that goes beyond being a part of the MCU and is just a really good movie. If all the MCU was as good, I'd be a huge fan.

No way Civil War was better than Winter Soldier in my opinion.
I went to the movies today and I saw a card advertising You Were Never Really Here. I grabbed one and asked the guy selling tickets if they were getting the film. Imagine my surprise when he said yes! My theater never gets films of this nature anymore.
I do not watch many movies in the theater but watched A Quiet Place this weekend. Thumbs up! It really reminded me of an M. Night movie. Good use of music and great tension without a bunch of extraneous devices.
There were a few items that bothered me in regards to plot progression but overall no serious violations for me. :thumbsup:
I Feel Pretty-
Suffers from the death blow for any comedy. It simply isn't very funny. Quite possibly the least funniest Amy Schumer movie.

Rampage! Predictable, juvenile, over-the-top the whole way. Loved every goofy disposable minute. 7.5/10.
You hit the nail on the head. A Quiet Place is one of those films that is elevated by seeing it in a theater.
This weekend, I had a small space of time between an early morning job and meeting friends later in the afternoon. I was looking for 2 hours to kill in a movie theater and chose Isle of Dogs.
Anybody who knows me knows I have a love/hate relationship with Wes Anderson films. I have to say that I enjoyed the film. It is certainly unique and truly has a Wes Anderson vibe. I'm not going to lie, but I fell asleep for a brief amount of time during the third act. Not because I was bored, but because of the recliners, sometimes it just happens and I was up particularly early.
Overall, an enjoyable film... and I'm a cat person!
I also saw A Quiet Place this weekend. I enjoyed it a lot (and it ticked all the technical boxes fantastically). Story-wise, I feel like I'd seen it before. Maybe because I read Bird Box not too long ago. Maybe because I've seen so many creatures-hunting-single-family movies.
Something that bothered me about the (kind of abrupt) ending:Spoiler:
I think the only Wes Anderson I've seen is The Grand Budapest Hotel. Just based on that, I didn't really care for his brand of cutesy-quirkiness. 04-23-2018 05:26 PMStill ServantQuote:My theory:Spoiler:
The Grand Budapest Hotel is actually my favorite film of his. 04-23-2018 05:29 PMHeather19What?! I won't lie, I do have that worry since they switched over to recliners recently at my theater. I can't go to a really late show. Whenever we watch movies at night and I get comfy on the sofa I instantly fall asleep and miss most of the movie even if it's early in the evening :lol:
Quote:I recommend checking out Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Not sure why my response is showing up in your quote, but I agree.

thumbsdownlargethumbsdownlarge 04-23-2018 06:57 PMStill ServantFull disclosure. I initiated super comfy mode, which consists of me putting the recliner next to me up, balling up my jacket and putting it on the arm rest, then laying down on my side. Curtains.
I've seen the Fantastic Mr. Fox and I do enjoy that one. 04-24-2018 04:31 AMRickyQuote:I also figured they were going to destroy them since the daughter found their weakness. What I was thinking was that it would be too many creatures at once for them to handle...then I forgot that the frequency would freeze them anyway so it really wouldn't matter.

Yeah, I was looking forward to that one but it really was kind of a dud. The ending was awful. On a positive note, the character of Roman was fantastic and Denzel really disappeared into him, I thought.
So you basically created a prototype of my idea to put couches in movie theaters? :lol:
I would definitely fall asleep if I did that. Just reclining is already risky. 04-24-2018 04:48 AMHeather19 04-24-2018 08:18 AMRandall FlaggSuper Troopers 2-
Worst "comedy" I've seen in a long time. I came close to walking out. The movie is just a bunch of set pieces strung together. maybe I should have smoked a little bark before viewing it.
