Jason Bourne 6/10: It's not as good as the original 3. I'd wait for the DVD/your choice of media streaming.

Ghostbusters: 3/10

Good grief was it bad. I gave 3 for a few chuckles, but just bad in general. I don't even know...

 

[WiseUp216]

Stranger Things - 8.5/10

Loved the soundtrack and all the 80s stuff (born in '81).

The only real knock that I can give it is that I didn't find

Spoiler

the monster

all that interesting. I was much more interested in how the story with Eleven would play out.

Definitely looking forward to the rumored season 2.

Have not watched it yet myself, but have them ready to go.

I watched a little of the first one, and have been waiting on a good time to binge watch it.

The Walk (8/10)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3488710/

Liked it more than I thought I would. I'm not a big fan of heights so I was literally sweating through the 2nd half of the movie.

Go for it!

We just watched all 8 episodes over the weekend and that is about a month worth of TV in our house. Highly binge-able.

i watched

Rock The Kasbah - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3164256/reference

(Bill Murray's Afghan Vacation)

and i liked it quite a bit. not fantastic, but solid.

Murray is a washed up rock agent, who reminisces about when he met this and that star, but his wife kicked him out and he hasn't got a penny.
His break comes when one of his protegees, Zoey Dechanel - don't get excited, she's in the film for 5 minutes - is offered a tour of Afghanistan, supporting the troops.

Zeoy makes it to Kabul but immediately freaks out, and disappears, leaving Murray with no money. But, due to the situation, Murray's old talent for "making magic happen" resurfaces, as he finds new and exciting adventures in the chaos of Kabul.


Nice film; Murray is left without a co-lead almost immediately, and while the supporting characters are all interesting (even BRUCE WILLIS!! , in a horribly miscast role), Murray has to do most of the dancing alone.

As the film progresses, it gets to be slightly more serious, and imho this is where it gets even more interesting; but i can see how it could put people off, as it veers away from comedy into more "existential" ground, although not too much.

The film is well made, from a direction/editing/production point of view, and the script is pretty solid, if not particularly daring. The conclusion is a bit phoned in, but still entertaining.

Would recommend, as a decent film for mid-week.

My vote: 7/10

Where did you find that? If you can say. I checked the alternative sites and didn't see it.

It's in theatres here in Vancouver. Almost went to see it, but saw Captain Fantastic instead. :\

Meh. A little too twee and very predictable if you've seen a few of these indie flicks. Too many easy wins.

I thought Viggo was good, but he's always good. I just rolled my eyes at a lot of the the quirky parts and the attempts at humour and emotion. A bit too long too. I'd say a 5/10 for me.

The Bronze - 6/10. I thought it was going to be terrible, but it was ok.

trailer makes this look like a something i want to see:

Train to Busan

 

[Ichinisan]

Based on the teaser, I really want to see Dunkirk.

 

[Homerboy]

The Eighties -- 9/10

This was a 7 part "mini series" on CNN recapping the 1980s. Each episode was dedicated to a specific area -- "Tech Boom", "AIDS", "Reagan", "Cold War" etc

I was born in 1974 so I was around for the 80s but a bit young to REALLY understand what was going on around me. Not to mention I grew up in smaller town so some of it never even reached our little burg.

That being said, I'm horribly nostalgic for the 80s and this show captured that but gave me a better understanding of what exactly was going on and what events actually transpired and what effect those events actually had as time marched on.

All in all, I thought it was well done, and it was just a great blast from the past.

No doubt. Looks great.

They also have The sixties, the seventies and the nineties. Each one is 7-10 episodes. They are on my cables on demand (Crave TV) here in Canada for free. Great stuff. So I started at the sixties and am only 3 episodes in but loving it.

Check out their 60's and 70's mini series too. I thought they were good.

We don't need you to "mansplain" why you disliked the movie.
