Just saw "Hidden Figures" today. Really good movie. Reminded me of just how much things have changed over just my lifetime.
... and how much they haven't.

Saw the trailer for Swiss army man when we saw Horns. Still undecided if we want to see Swiss army man. Liked horns though.
Pity that Captain Fantastic didn't get the nod at the SAG Awards, last night. I would have loved to see Trin Miller (who played the dead wife in flashbacks) be part of an award winning cast, only a couple of years after she moved from Seattle to Hollyweird. I've supported several indie films she's been in, via Kickstarter.

Was waiting for some big "meta reveal" or something in Swiss Army Man...didn't happen.
Hacksaw Ridge - True story, and a darn good one. Recommended.
"John Wick: Chapter 2" - Big dumb Gun-Fu fun. Don't look for a deep storyline. You won't find one. You will, however, get to see a little deeper into that world's assassins' league.
On another issue why, in a virtually empty theatre would three people choose to sit down in a less than optimal location and play with their cell phones.
... in front of someone sitting alone.
... wearing all black.
... with a beard.
... while watching a movie about a guy wearing all black, with a beard, who kills hundreds of people.

I enjoyed it overall but, admittedly, it was tough to accept that a hard science guy suddenly became a linguist. Not perfect, but not bad.
Passengers - predictable but mildly enjoyable.
The Iron Giant - watched it a bazillion times and it never gets old.
Made it through Planet Earth 2. Again really well done.

"Dead West"
First I have to say that I'm definitely a "B" movie kind of guy and this one definitely qualifies. I'll follow that up by saying I was quite surprised to immediately recognize the voice of the "motel redneck" in the first few minutes of the movie as belonging Scott C. Brown. Hell, I've been on his podcast, so I wasn't going to forget that voice. I knew that Trin Miller had a small voice part as a radio newscaster, but had no idea how many faces I was going to recognize in it; Scott, Tom Brophy, Lisa Coronado, Meagan Naser.
With that out of the way, I quite liked it. It's the story of a serial killer out on the road, looking for love. It came off as vaguely Tarantinoesque, without the gratuitous buckets of fake blood. Hey, fake blood costs money and remember, this is a "B" movie. The violence mostly takes place off-camera and Brian Sutherland does a good job of pulling off the smarmy-slick "Ladykiller." Overall a good watch.

Lego Batman.
Not as good as The Lego Movie. But very enjoyable none the less. Seemed to be more adult jokes and cultural references than for children.
...I LOVED the nod to "Hot Rod" when Batman asks the team to search around for supplies and see if they can find "a couple of vitamin waters".
