Wrath of Man was decent. It’s odd hearing Guy Ritchie dialogue out of American actors, that certainly felt out of place to begin the film. Predictable but an enjoyable watch. To answer my earlier question it’s better than Rocknrolla and Revolver.

I watched an older documentary, Crumb (1994) (available on the CTV app and of course other nefarious means). It's about the artist R. Crumb. If you're interested in comics, alternative art and pop culture it's worth a watch. He was a very complicated person. Not entirely likeable but inarguably talented.

Great doc for sure.

Crumb was also briefly featured in another film I highly recommend as the real life friend of Harvey Pekar in American Splendor.

Cruella was pretty good. Had a good "Joker" vibe throughout. Haven't seen the original 101 Dalmatians since I was a kid so it was neat to see/hear some of the Easter eggs in this one. Great soundtrack in this one too.

The Best Offer is great from start to finish. Really enjoyed the cinematography and storyline in this film.

Caught a few minutes of the Witches. Yikes. Al Pacino level chewing the scenery from Anne Hathaway. It’s like a really bad horror movie for kids.

Tried to watch it with my daughter last night. When Hathaway goes all Predator jaw, that was the end of the movie. Completely freaked out my daughter.

Wife had never seen Terminator (1 or 2) so we watched the first one a couple weekends ago and finished up with the second one this past weekend.

Terminator 1 was not nearly as good as I remember it being.
Terminator 2 was significantly better then I remember it being. This movie had aged amazingly.

I love them both. I also think Terminator 3 is the best of the sequels. It's not an all time classic but it's a solid action film.

Did you just say T3 is better than T2?

Is this the worst take in the history of the internet? Yes, and it’s not even close. I mean, did you seriously just call a ####ty uninspired sequel better than the greatest action movie ever made?

Lol I misspoke I kinda think of Terminator and T2 as one amazing film. I meant it's the best Terminator film after T2

Yeah T3 is at least a competent if unspectacular action movie. Everything since then has been a mess.

Kevin Bacon wants to make a Tremors series, and is hopeful he'll be able to one day.

“I would still love to do it, believe me. Maybe it needs to be the 30th anniversary or the 35th. We'll keep going," the actor expressed.
Also, Terminator Genisys is much, much better than people give it credit for. It's the 3rd best Terminator movie, and if it wasn't completely ruined by a garbage marketing campaign that gave away the whole movie I feel like it would have been better received.

The terminator franchise is like the predator franchise. One good, one great, and a bunch of average to below average sequels that for some reason keep fans coming back for more.

Just watched the second Independence Day -movie, Resurgence.

Spectacularly silly, but I was properly entertained. I'm actually hoping they make the planned third movie some day, as I'm sure that would be something completely bananas.
