The new Jumanji was decent. 

The main issue I had part way through was that I realized that the main female actress is Nebula from GotG. If I hadn't just watched it over and over in the last month, I probably could have ignored it, but there was no shaking it once I realized it.

The fam went to see The Greatest Showman on Tuesday. We really liked it. MiniBuff 2 (who is prone to hyperbole at 5 years old) said it was the "best movie I've ever seen". I thought Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron played really well against each other.

Just got finished with my first Big D experience....boys and I went and saw “Star Wars”. Big D screen was definitely worth it. Not an iMax but the sound and picture were a big step up from a standard screen.

@csb, you want to take this one??? 

So you're asking @csb if she wants to take the Big D? What do you think?

I was going to ask how many shots did it take to get the taste out of his mouth, but then I remembered the punch line to that joke.

We watched Lawrence of Arabia on cable the other night. I don't think I ever watched that movie as an adult. I see why it is listed as one of the greatest movies ever. Excellent photography, and a strange portrait of a strange man. I saw a LOT of influences on George Lucas's Star Wars in that movie.

We saw Jumanji over the weekend, too. Pretty entertaining, I'd say overall a lot more enjoyable movie than the first.

Pun fully intended.  I just imagine some intern at AMC snickering while suggesting to the old guys that they call their new screen format "Big D" cause it's short for big digital screen.

Whatttt I just rewatched the original Jumanji the other day, and it's great.

I saw Guardians part 2 over the break.  I haven't seen a worse movie since Christmas with the Kranks. Every single "joke" fell flat, seemed forced, and was as unfunny nailing your thumb with a staple gun.  Through the finger nail.

We watched Get Out a couple of days ago...it was really good!

I tend to agree and because I like it, is why I'm intrigued to see the new one.

Baby Driver.

Baby Driver. 

This movie is excellent!

Saw Work Christmas Party with some friends over the holiday break. It was pretty entertaining.

Agree - can't beat Robin Williams.

Tried watching Justice League and turned it off after 15 minutes.  Probably deserves another chance but doesn't look very promising.

That is unfortunate as I really like the cast they selected (I haven't seen it yet). So just bad screen-play, story, effects, etc?

The family really liked it. Funniest part was when Jack Black was looking down at his pants and my 10yr old daughter looks over at me and asks me what's so funny while her 12yr old brother is crying from laughing so hard.

It was a very simple movie with a ton of plot holes, but I still really enjoyed it.

Plus, Karen Gillan was hot in that movie...

"It has a handle!" 

It was one of those movies where everything can just wash over you and you just have an enjoyable time. 

Going to see Star Wars the very next day did not give the same feeling.
