Checked out the third Bridget Jones movie Bridget Jones’s Baby (or Bridget Jones’ Baby as civilized people would punctuate it). It was ok, I guess. It was fine, I suppose. It’s a movie that happened, kind of bored me but … Continue reading
Checked out an early showing of the remake of The Magnificent Seven. I won’t spend time comparing this to the 1960s version (itself a remake of an Akira Kurosawa movie) since I don’t have any emotional attachment to that old … Continue reading
Also checked out Snowden, the new film about Edward Snowden starring Joseph Gordon Levitt and Shalieen Woodley. It’s a rather long retelling of the adult career and life of Ed Snowden in the CIA, NSA, and other intelligence agencies leading … Continue reading

The 9th Life of Louis Drax is a very strange R rated children’s movie… or something. To be fair, I’d not heard of this movie – no trailers, never heard of the book, only knew a couple of the stars … Continue reading
Hell or High Water is a new Texas bank robbery movie that’s really, really good. Chris Pine and Ben Foster play a pair brother bank robbers and Jeff Bridges (in crusty mode) plays a Texas Ranger out to stop them. … Continue reading
