Everything in this post will be spoilers. You have been warned.

If you don't indicate clearly what the spoilers are for, some people will never read your post.

I think it's for Arrival? I had to read your spoilers to figure that out. I have not seen the movie.

Bad Santa 2 - 0.05/10
Turned it off in the first half hour, maybe it got better but absolute shit. Billy Bob's character is nothing like the first and they try their hardest to make every scene about cursing, sex, or alcohol to where it's super try-hard and kills the story by trying to make the characters edgy/sleazy. Turned him into a caricature vs the first, which I actually enjoyed. Total shit.
It's an incredibly raunchy movie but if you like that sort of thing, and I do, it's not bad. I didn't really like some aspects of the movie but over all I thought it was funny and I actually paid to see it if you can believe that.

Personally I'd give it at least a 5 and maybe a 6.

Lion - 4/10

A kid in India gets himself lost hundreds of miles from home. He enters an orphanage and is adopted by parents from Australia. He then finds his home on Google Earth. As GIS professionals, my girlfriend and I were cringing. He spent so much time and energy trying to find this place, alienating his new family and friends (who would have clearly understood that he was interested in finding his home). I thought it was bad, until it showed that the name of his town was an actual placename on Google Earth, so he could have just literally typed it in.

We just about lost it.

Jeff and Some Aliens - 6/10

I've only seen the first episode but it's not bad. I thought it was going to be another bullshit adult swim cartoon but I kinda liked it. It actually had a plot. It was a little bizarre but not completely off the wall stupid. It had its funny moments and it was generally pretty watchable.

You're saying he knew the name of his town?

Warcraft 7/10
Saw it in the theaters and saw it again on Blu-Ray. I liked it both times but still wish it had been done differently and started the story line earlier. Still hate the acting/lines of Garona (Paula Patton).

The Shallows 6/10
Simple story of girl meets shark but I found it entertaining and BL is definitely nice to look at.

It (1990)

Can't wait until the remake this year! It (2017)
No rating? Just letting us know that it exists?

I'll give it a 6/10

I watched it when I was very young (10-12ish) and even at that age it looked very cheesy and made for TV. Still pretty good, but it's a long ride.

I did as well. I would give it a 6 as well.

I'm not thrilled about an it remake myself, but my wife still hates clowns from the original, as many kids probably did from the time.

The Accountant 2/10

I can't believe how wretchedly bad this movie was. I'm dumbfounded. It was enjoyable, even made sense, for maybe the first 45 minutes, which made the complete disintegration of the plot, logic and everything resembling common sense even worse. This might even have been a decent movie.

Eddie The Eagle 7/10
I through this on just to have something on in the back ground while screwing around on the net but it ended up capturing my attention. It is just another underdog story but it is fun and Eddie is an eccentric character. Worth a watch if you have been passing up thinking it would be boring like I had.

Noah - 6.5/10 -- It wasn't bad but that's some weird shit going on. Last movie I saw of Noah was in cartoon form and that was 2 decades ago. I also saw Exodus: Gods and Kings a couple weeks or so back which wasn't bad. This Old Testament stuff is some cruel shit.
