Movies: What did You Watch Last Night?

[Agent Minivann]

I watched Hot Fuzz last night. One of the coaches I work with has been trying to get me to watch it for a while. Some gore, dare I say campy gore? A lot of language. It is pretty amazing.

I absolutely love this one. I also like shawn of the dead. Same duo in that one as well.

Decided to take the family to see Solo this afternoon. It was enjoyable. My son loved it. he though it ranked right behind Rogue One in 3rd place. Can't remember which OT movie he had first.

I find it hard to rank...all the rest are so galaxy in peril where this is a personal voyage so to speak. Was it a great work of cinematic art...of course not. Was it an enjoyable ride in the Star Wars universe...absolutely. Liked all the gems foreshadowing the future we know as well as the development of friendships and rivalries.

Hot Fuzz is amazing.

Speaking of Solo, this weekend I decided to watch Deadpool 2. Liked it quite a bit, better than the first. I thought I might since it turned everything from the first one up to 11, similar to GotG 2 which I also liked better than the first.

Incredibles 2!

I haven't had so much fun at a movie theater since... I dunno. This particular brand of family-friendly, comedy-action is a pretty rare... Bird. I probably spent a solid ten minutes of the run-time laughing my head off.

This is not a deep movie. It does not go for the feels, though it is very true to the human condition. It's really just all about inviting the audience along for a fun and entertaining ride.

I really don't want to spoil any of the best stuff, so for now I'll just leave it with my strongest recommendation. I have difficulty imagining anyone here not enjoying it.

Yes. My girlfriend and I saw it early Thursday night together and just had a fun time watching a long-awaited, enjoyable movie.

Got MoviePass, which for $9.99/month lets you see a movie in any Theatre every day - pays for itself in one movie these days, I probably will average 1 or 2 movies a week, but this weekend I saw 3 movies:

• Oceans's 8 (PG-13): 7/10 Was decent and had some slick thievery of Bling Bling with some fun acting, but honestly I was not invested in it, and not to give it away, but barely anything went wrong in the plan which meant there was no tension. Saw on date, she liked it better, so probably a rare good non-romantic date night or ladies night flick.
• Incredibles 2 (PG): 8/10 Was fun, heartwarming, and funny; but not as fun or heartwarming as original, although maybe slightly funnier especially with Jack-Jack. Villain gambit was seen ahead of time, so that also detracted from ending. Saw with a group 20s-30s guys/girls, with most the theater filled with families with young kids, so good for groups.
• Tag (R): 6/10 Great premise but not as funny or heartwarming, and too ridiculous slap-stick gags (almost cartoonish) than I was anticipating, plus the best jokes I already saw in the previews. Honestly not until the very ending did they play actual TAG by running around and chasing each other. But was fun guys night movie, I and a friend played TAG in theater during credits, and that was fun, so movie was worth it for that!

Maybe I'm getting to be more cynical in my old age, or have too high expectations, as I rate movies less than I did before.

Just saw Solo, and really liked it. I had planned only to watch the new Star Wars films on TV, but saw Rogue One last year on an airplane for free, and just saw The Force Awakens finally on TV. So far I've enjoyed the stand alone movies much more than the series flics!

Yeah, since Disney bought Lucas Films the two SW movies I liked the most are Rogue One and Solo. The Force Awakens and Last Jedi made all the crazy money but were the weaker films.

I double this. Rogue One and Solo are good, fun Star Wars movies.

I took my daughters to see Ant-Man and The Wasp today. We enjoyed it. Light, fun, funny and some good action.

I too took my daughter to Ant-Man and the Wasp on Sat. afternoon. We also enjoyed it. My only disappointment was with the end credit scenes.
