Took the kids to see Star Trek: Beyond. Loved it. I really enjoyed the banter this time around. Also watched Annabelle - not a bad horror flick.

I'm dying to see Hell or High Water. Taylor Sheridan is one of the hottest writers in Hollywood right now. He wrote Sicario, which I loved last year.
This is another that is on my growing list. Just an odd film that I've heard nothing but great things about.
Woah, woah! What is that supposed to mean? Ben Foster is one of the best characters actors working today? He was great in 3:10 to Yuma, solid in Lone Survivor, fantastic in The Messenger, and good in Alpha Dog. He was also really good in an underrated movie that many people haven't seen 11:14. As for Chris Pine, I feel he's a solid actor as well. He's been good in all of the Star Trek films, I thought he was great opposite Denzel in Unstoppable and I know you're going to roll your eyes, but he was the best part of Into the Woods. The scene where he sings the song "Agony" is hilarious.
I'm not sure where that's coming from.

Love Ben Foster, like Chris Pine. I'll see the movie eventually.
Ben Foster is the best part of 30 Days of Night. He was good in Pandorum. Russell in Six Feet Under is a favourite from that show for me. The arch angel plotline was the best part of X3.
Ben Foster and James Badge Dale are two actors I want to see a lot more from.

I actually really liked Pandorum, but because of the story not Foster.
I hated Pandorum.
On another note, just saw Don't Breathe. It was really good. The suspense and tension was great and never let up through the whole movie. It's not so much a horror film as it is a suspense-thriller, so don't go in expecting to be scared. Not a moment wasted in the hour-and-a-half runtime. Just when you think, "How are they going to get out of THIS now?" or "What can possibly happen next?" the film surprises you and goes in innovative directions you wouldn't expect.
My only negatives would be shallow character development (though there's just enough to get you invested in them), the number of times the characters get out out of a bad situation, and two aspects about the ending (which I can't say too much about without spoiling).
Overall, a really good, fun movie.
Also, it takes a lot to gross me out/make me cringe, but there's one scene in it that made me cringe, gasp, and put my hand to my mouth.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Halfway through Turbo Kid. This movie fucking rocks so far. And also, I'm in love with Apple.
5/5. I dont think I've ever seen a more enjoyable movie. Just an inner feeling of joy throughout the entire movie. It all fit so perfectly together, the music, the b-level gore effects (which, admittedly, I normally loathe and DON'T find as appealing as most other cinephiles do), the mythology, the story, the characters, the weirdness. Loved it all. And like I said earlier, man oh man am I in love with Apple.
Fine, fine. I'll take Skull Mask Guy then.
Isn't it amazing? One of my favourite films made from pure joy I've seen in recent years.
Never be cruel and never be cowardly. And if you ever are, always make amends.
You are a walking talking Doctor Who encyclopedia to me. - Melike

Viewed War Dogs a few days back. Fascinating movie based on a true story. I give it 5/6 on the RFSRS. So intriguing that I bought the book the movie was based on. Such a great story that I read 100 pages yesterday afternoon.
Guy Lawson wrote the story for Rolling Stone magazine, and then expanded his research to write the book. Original title of the book was Arms And The Dudes.
watching Chef. God do I love this film... reminds me why I am a chef!!! Great film... 9/10
Also watched burnt a few weeks ago... great shows real passion and the insanity that chef's have... 9/10
Nina Forever, 2/5. Proof that a perfect rack does make up for a boring movie.
Imperium, 4/5. Very enjoyable movie, I wishSpoiler:but other than that, very good.
I wanted to catch Morgan, Luke Scott's (Ridley Scott's son) directorial debut after hearing about it on the radio this morning.
It ticks off all the check boxes I need for a sci fi film...
but then....
I realized the black hole of charisma known as Kate Mara was in it. No thanks.
You're killin' me, Smalls! First the Ben Foster hate, and now my girl Kate Mara. Come on. Then again, I'm a Giants fan.
I haven't heard people talk about Sausage Party much, but I really had a lot of fun with it. Don't be fooled by the crude humor, Sausage Party is a clever film with a unique social commentary on race and religion. It features one of the craziest WTF fuck am I watching endings you will ever see in a movie.
