Starbuck.

pretty cute movie 3.7 out of 5.

I didn't know they ever made a sequel. It must have had a deservedly short shelf life. Arnold is far from a great actor but at least he can act. Dolph can't do much more than stand around and look mean.

exactly!

10 Cloverfield Lane....started out good and was mostly good and then it got weird. I like John Goodman as a bad guy.

Watched "The 5th Wave" tonight. Had a code for a free Red Box movie. Was worth exactly what I paid for it ----nothing---terrible movie.

Watched Barnacle Bill this morning. Great old flick with Wallace Beery and Marjorie Main (Ma Kettle) Bothe were born I the late 1800's and did about when I was born or so.
Stories moved along then. Bill got a job on a fish boat, but the viewer didn't have to go with him through any hiring or training process.
No commercial interruption.

I saw that movie was on TCM but I didn't watch it. I have seen it before. It was made in 1941 but has the feel of something more from early to mid 30's. The movie isn't anything special but worth watching if nothing else is on.

I watch a lot of TCM in large part due to the lack of commercials. So many of the other stations have so many commercials the movies are almost unwatchable.

That's why I dvr a lot.....I can fast forward through any commercials. America's Got Talent is a good example of a lot of commercials and just plain silliness when all I want to see is the acts.

Tonight we watched The Sting. It's been years since I'd seen it in it's entirety. Everyone big
in that movie is dead now, 'cept Redford. It was really good and I enjoyed the Rockwell drawings introducing each new part of the movie.

Watched "Saved"......"When a girl attending a Christian high school becomes pregnant, she finds herself ostracized and demonized, as all of her former friends turn on her."
Crappy movie, but there was nothing on TV that was any good.

Watched Krampus last night. It was like the adult version of The Grinch. The snow scenes were cooling on a warm evening.
It was rated 6.3 out of a possible 10.....I'd give it a 5.0.

Just finished watching "That's Entertainment" (1974) a history of MGM musicals on TCM and no commercial interruption.

They covered hundreds of stars....when there really were stars. I only think 2 of them are still alive today...Liza Minelli and Debbie Reynolds..

The stars of today like the Brangelina and Clooney and Roberts etc...aren't the caliber of stars with talent like Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly and Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney to name a few..

It was a thoroughly entertaining 2:15 hrs of musical history.

Don't trust these extremely abbreviated plot explanations.....

The Shining- A family's first Airbnb experience goes very wrong.
Titanic- Everyone tries the ice bucket challenge.
The Lord of the Rings- Group spends nine hours returning jewelry.

We just watched 'London Has Fallen'. If you like action movies this was much better than its 5.9 rating out of 10. Both hubby and I really enjoyed it and it was jam packed with shooting, stabbing, car chases, plane crashes, etc.

Rented 'Triple 9' last night. Ejected it at about 20 mins. It was too hard to follow , especially when it's too dark to recognize faces and who's doing what or who.

Sounds like one I have to get for the Grandkids

"Scapegoat" on netflix.

pretty good.

I DO like passing through Astoria. The bridge is spectacular.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2......as usual the second is never as good as the first.
Nia V. is a one-hit wonder from Akron Ohio....that's it, you're done!

 

[KOG72]

Saw the new Ghostbusters movie was not as good as the first two.I would give this movie a 3 out of 10,just about walked out but I like Kate McKinnon .

Sharknado 4...........Ian gets a steady paycheck with this series of movies.

It's a 'cult thing' and everybody wants a cameo in one. Kardashians won't stoop so low???

After having seen 4 of them, I'm compelled to see them all as they come out.
