We took the Grandkids to "Sing" when we were in Texas at one of those Dinner and a Movie theaters. I don't know how much the wife spent on just the movie tickets but the "dinner" (I use that word loosely) cost me $68.00. I'm sure it was all of a $125.00 movie night. (Old Rod is used to forking out $1.62 at a Red Box but I just kept my mouth shut). For a kid movie it wasn't the worst I've seen--- but it wasn't $125.00 good either.

i saw hurt locker which opens with a chris hedges quote. i thought it was a good movie even though it was mostly pentagon propaganda. im suprised the director used to be married to james cameron who seems very socialist. the marriage only lasted 2 years

We watched 2 movies today......Masterminds and The Accountant.

Masterminds - "A guard at an armored car company in the Southern U.S. organizes one of the biggest bank heists in American history. Based on the October 1997 Loomis Fargo robbery." It's listed as a comedy, action crime flick It was OK. I usually like anything that Owen Wilson is in.

The Accountant was more of an intense movie. I really liked it. "As a math savant uncooks the books for a new client, the Treasury Department closes in on his activities and the body count starts to rise." Ben Affleck plays an autistic adult.

The Accountant turned out to be a great movie. I think they could have spent a few more minutes thinking up a better name though. If I hadn't seen the previews I would have never rented it just because of its title.

So far this year Hacksaw Ridge has been my favorite movie. Very intense at times--not for the squeamish.

Watched "Inferno". Like with all the Dan Brown books, you have to really pay close attention because of all the plot twists and turns.

"Academy Award® winner Ron Howard returns to direct the latest bestseller in Dan Brown's (Da Vinci Code) billion-dollar Robert Langdon series, Inferno, which finds the famous symbologist (again played by Tom Hanks) on a trail of clues tied to the great Dante himself. When Langdon wakes up in an Italian hospital with amnesia, he teams up with Sienna Brooks (Felicity Jones), a doctor he hopes will help him recover his memories. Together, they race across Europe and against the clock to stop a madman from unleashing a global virus that would wipe out half of the world's population."

It was good.

Keeping Up With the Joneses....

"A suburban couple becomes embroiled in an international espionage plot when they discover that their seemingly perfect new neighbors are government spies."

Action, comedy and I liked it.
