You pipe down!!!

We went to see Star Trek Beyond last weekend.  It was pretty entertaining, better than the last one, anyway.  Still not really the "traditional" Star Trek type of story, though (not enough science in the fiction, to put it short).

I think I would have rather seen it at home on Blu Ray.

Oh! So I saw Ghostbusters and loved it, as did my husband. It's really well done in terms of nods to nostalgia without being a rehash of the old movie.

I'll admit that I really liked that the costumes for the women ended up being utility jumpsuits. It wasn't forced to be sexy versions of anything. They just got to be people.

Cheese and rice. I'll have been here ten years next year? Do balloons fall out of the computer?

LadyFox is pretty pumped for this one. @csb

I'm still holding out for She-Ra's moment in the sun.

Based on the trailer, WW looks like it could actually be pretty good. Wrong era though isn't it? Looked like it was WW1. Whenever MeTV has the old WW show on, it seems like she is constantly fighting with communists.

Mr. Tex really enjoyed the Hateful 8 until he found out that the Martin guitar smashing scene was for reals...

I thought it was pretty good Tarantino, but not his best.

so the wife woke me up way too early when she was leaving for work yesterday and I watched about 20 minutes of this before I turned it off:

Grizzly Man- the movie about the guy that lived in the Alaskan wild for 13 summers with the grizzly's..and then his last summer was killed and eaten by a new bear..

Watch a few minutes of this guy, the footage he shot is really cool, but I really think there must be something wrong with him? he doesn't seem normal at all..

We've watched that one. Guy was definitely not right in the head.

Saw Bourne this past Friday. Pretty much as you'd expect on "been there, done that". But it was cool to see it back on the big screen again. The story line was decent and they seemed to really emphasize on cyber security. They even deleted some govt. emails!  <smh>

Saw a preview for one called "Sully".  Who is being played by Tom Hanks. Looks intriguing.

I like the one Doctor from Alaska that said the reason the bears didn't eat him sooner is they could sense that he "wasn't right in the head"

My daughter really wanted to go see Star Trek and all her friends had already seen it so being the good dad I am I went and saw it with her.  Has to be one of the only movies I have ever scene that has the worst moment of the movie occur the same time as the best moment, and for me the only good part of the movie was the Beastie Boys Song portion..  & without giving it away, the horribly cheesy "solution" that used the Beastie Boys song was the "worst moment"

 

[Dleg]

Agreed.

I rented Daddy's Home (Mark Wahlburg and Will Ferrel) to watch on a plane last week.  Overall it was pretty funny.

You know you can already pre-order the DVD for the new star trek movie on amazon.  Mr snick mentioned it while he looking for something else...I asked are you sure, it just came out in theaters. he said yup

 

[Dleg]

If movies nowadays just went straight to BluRay, 4K download, or some other form of HD home delivery, I'd gladly do that over going to a theater, for most movies anyway.

^^^Sean Parker had that idea.  It is called Screening Room.  For something like $50, you can download the movie and watch it.  The movie industry squashed him, for now...I think it will come back around.  It has some big name supporters including Spielberg and Peter Jackson; Star Wars and LOTR unite!
