Saw "The Post" today. Since it was not just "history" to me - I remember it live - I was really looking for accuracy (as far as possible, of course. I know it's a movie.) and was pretty surprised. Damn good story, well told, and it doesn't hurt that Hanks was in it. I don't think I've ever seen a movie he was in that I thought was bad. I'll add that I was once again underwhelmed by Meryl Streep. She did her usual mumbling through the movie, except in one scene. Which rocked, BTW.

No spoilers here - see it. :thumbsup:

Was going to see it this weekend, but my wife got sick. So I just rode bikes a lot instead.

I liked it, but didn't love it. The world-building was pretty amazing, Coogler did some heavy lifting to put it all together! For me, I wish but they spent a little more time developing Killmonger. MBJ was the BEST part of the movie IMHO, and I wanted to see more of him as well as his motivation/past.
Also didn't like Klaue's story arc at all. Really, that's it???
For the record, Thor: Ragnarok is my go-to movie of the MCU, followed closely by CA: Civil War.
 
Saw this last night at the Arclight in Hollywood. It's only playing in select theaters at this time. Pretty darn enjoyable :thumbsup:


Written and directed by Wes Anderson, same guy that brought you Moonrise Kingdom, Life Aquatic, Rushmore, The Grand Budapest Hotel...
 
Didn't ride as I took my son to see Ready Player One. We both loved the book. He liked the movie a lot, and I thought it was okay. Casting of the leads was no good IMHO. Neither one had much screen presence, and they were far too pretty for a distopian future. But the supporting cast was good, and the set pieces were all great. Valerian was the same way. Must be getting old.
The first 10 minutes was literally a voice-over explaining the world. Spielberg forgot the "show, don't tell" mantra of movie-making. I listened closely and don't think I heard any Rush, what's up with that!?!? And they did not do the proper count for the Holy Hand Grenade. But all the pop-culture references throughout it were just wonderful to watch and try to catch. Most are very subtle, and not hugely over the top at all. And a GREAT Iron Giant portion of the movie, especially with all the correct sounds.
Long/short: Mixed reviews, of a flawed but fun diversion.
