I loved The Nice Guys. Ryan and Russell really did make a great combo. I also thought Ryan was hilarious in the film.

Regardless of whether the filmmaker took certain liberties or was 'loose with the facts', I thought Fruitvale Station was a really well made film and very emotional. 9/10.

Watched The Invitation last night. I had been looking forward to it but it left me a little underwhelmed. I don't mind slow films for the most part, but this one was so slow for so long.

My review of Suicide Squad
Also, I haven't written a full review since November? Wow.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
You and me both. It hasn't been quite as long for me. The last full review I wrote was The Revenant. This new job has really killed that part of my recreation.
Anyway, great review, Ricky. I've been begging my friends for feedback on this film before I decide to see it in theaters, but nobody has seen it. I think your review has put me over the top and I will try to check out the film in theaters.
I wish you did make the film though. One of my problems is the fact that The Joker isn't the main villain. You're completely right, that's the direction they should have gone in.

The Joker shouldn't have been the main villain, but he'll certainly be that in the upcoming solo Batman movie.
Thanks, Mike! Appreciate it.
It's definitely lot of fun in the theater, so I'll go out on a limb and say that when you leave you're not going to be thinking you wasted your money. I was smiling for the first half-hour because I was enjoying it so much. The rest of the film was decent but, like I said, it has its faults.
Regarding the Joker as the main villain, I'm glad you also think so. I guess they didn't want to repeat The Dark Knight, but the tone of Suicide Squad (and Leto's Joker) is so different that it would've worked. Plus, we would've gotten more scenes with him and Harley, which were pure magic.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
I'm still highly skeptical about the whole thing, but I'll end up watching Suicide Squad at some point this weekend. The curiosity to see where I land among the spectrum of polarizing reviews is too strong for me to resist.
We'll see....

Bring on the haters.
Saw the original Haunting last night. Rated it one out of five.
Viewed Hell or Highwater yesterday. Fabulous movie. Truly depicts the desperation, depression, and quirkiness of west Texas. Stellar performances by many, with two waitresses in bit roles almost stealing the show. The ending was one of the best I've seen. Written and acted to perfection.
I give it 6/6 Beers on the RFSRS.
Watched The Lobster last night. What a weird quirky film, I absolutely loved it.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
We went to see the re-make of Pete's dragon... cool film, but not the original. The whole story has changed and I think lost a bit of its magic, or maybe age did that?, Girls liked it though... so 6.5/10
I was a little wary of watching this because let's face it - the tandem of Ben Foster and Chris Pine doesn't exactly inspire confidence - but everything I've read leads me to believe all aspects of this film came together seamlessly.
Weirder than Dogtooth?
I need to see The Lobster.
Like Counter Culture Shock on Facebook
Needful, yep.
So, rewatched Now You See Me in preparation of Now You See Me 2 ... I love the first one. 5/5.
And the second one? 2/5. Almost a 1/5. Shitty, shitty, shitty, annoying, waste of time movie.
The Whole Truth... with Keenu Reeves. The wife and I liked it. Different... 7.5/10

ANY S/L #459
Yes, it actually kinda reminded me of a Wes Anderson film. I forgot that he's the one that made Dogtooth as well. This one was very different. It was a lot more lighthearted while still being a bit messed up at times.
Have you by chance seen Alps?
Yes you do, I think you'll really enjoy it
