Denzel would have to be one of the top five in Hollywood right now.

Where Statham and Neeson are repeating the same roles, Washington does action, drunk pilot, autistic lawyer and urban dad -- all equally well. I think he's managing his career better than the other guys.

Certainly, I wish DeNiro was making better choices. Feels like he's diluting his gift.

Next movie i'm most looking forward to is Deadpool 2. The first one was great.

Statham is good in his niche. Neesom has just been taking the money since his wife died. Denzel is good, but he always plays Denzel, so where is the actual difference?
Even the Autistic lawyer was Denzel. Plus he has put on a few pounds, so it is a perfect role for him.

It would take a heck of a role to wake DeNiro up, but at least he is keeping his hand in. He seems to enjoy doing fun movies. He was amazing in that movie where he was the cop who had a stroke. But how many movies like that are out there for older guys ?

Here’s an obscure recommendation: Monsieur Ibrahim with Omar Sharif, late in his career in 2003.

Watching "Coneheads" on El Rey....one of the best ever made with ex-SNL players.....freaking HILARIOUS!

Blade Runner 2049 is on HBO or whatever now. Really like it- great cast and so well done.

"Dirty Harry" just started on Ovation.

Last night they showed all 3 Leone Spaghetti Western's with Clint on TCM. I couldn't stay awake for all 3 but watched as much as I could.

Saw this one last weekend. A different type of horror movie. Almost no jump-scares...but a good movie.

WTF?
I think it's supposed to be artsy, but I guess if that doesn't work, then it'll get views from dudes hoping it's a semi-lolita type movie.

Foreign film with subtitles, good story, good muay thai action. Sort of Jackie Chan-ish at times but some of these guys were really bashed in the head from what I can tell.

You have to sign in and register, but it's free and worth every penny.

Oceans 8. I watched for an hour. Not a terrible movie. I just got bored. Plot, to steal a $150,000 diamond necklace. For some reason I just did not care enough to see how it ended. Not a bad movie, just not for me.

Molly’s Game.

The wife and I were nursing hangovers on the couch yesterday and watched this movie. The wife usually has her phone and iPad going at the same time. She never picked them up and later said she didn’t want to miss anything. We thought it was really well done and a true story.

The catcher was a spy. Based on a true story . WW2 story about a baseball player recruited by the United States OSS to kill Hiesenberg . Not a great movie with big name actors but very well made and sort of interesting. I liked it.
