Kids and I went and saw the maze runner... Not bad, first part of the movie makes you think a little.., was good until the end when it was revealed this would be the first of 20 more movies ( my kids had read the book)...

 
kids rented Captain America - Winter Soldier- I watched the second half. seems like all these movies are basically the same, Avengers, Captain America, etc.... Lots of cool fighting but just getting a bit over the top.. and really the flying hawk guy??

I have had a hard time forking over the $2 on Redbox for this one, despite Junior asking repeatedly to see it. I just anticipate a lot of terrible...

 
if its worth anything, my kids thought it was great ..... we did use our "free" redbox reward they send you every so often via email..

 
I can't wait until Oct 10th because Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, no good very bad day comes out... it looks like such a cute movie, and the first in a long time I've actually wanted to go see in the theater. (I hate it when it's date night and no movie sounds appealing)

 
we were rolling in the floor during the previews for that, I was laughing so hard my daughter got embarrassed.. (A kangaroo punching someone is just funny I don't care who you are).

Pretty much, from what I remember from the book it has a good basis to be funny... and I'm sorry but if Steve Carrell can make a story about being widowed and falling with your brothers girlfriend heartwarming and funny rather than pathetically sad- I'm willing to watch what ever he appears in short of pr0n

 
I took the boy to see "Boxtrolls" this weekend. It was actually pretty good. I was expecting another lame, goth-inspired kiddie-horror movie like the previous two (Coralline and Paranorman), and while there was some of that, it was also significantly more imaginative and funny.

My son went on an Avengers kick recently, due to playing Lego Marvel Superheroes (very cool game). Winter Soldier was pretty good, I thought, but it IS a superhero movie, RG, so you have to just accept a few things that are impossible, on the surface.

 
I accept it , it's just they all the same pattern for the most part... Have a major side character die every now and then? Keep us guessing like GOT...

Hey now, I loved Coraline.

 
That trailer is intense. I could never imagine the emotional toll involved with any of it. It's slated to come out on December 25th.

Haven't watch the trailer above yet but this is one of my favorite sniper scenes. As Dex pointed out, I don't know that I could handle the emotional drain that it would take on someone. I mean, in first person shooter game, I generally like to be of a sniper class (and pretty good too), but it would be so much different in reality.
