Watched Ex Machina and while it was probably one of the better movies ive seen in awhile, it was way too predictable.

Inside Out was great.

Maybe they're making up for lost time, but it almost seems patronizing the way Hollywood thinks every movie (except, of course, blockbusters) has to have a gay storyline. I was watching This is Where I Leave You (not great) and thinking it was almost a bold choice to not make one of the kids gay, but then of course there was a twist.

I didn't realize Joe Dirt 2 came out last week on Crackle but stumbled across it when I went to play some XBox last night. It is definitely not a great movie but I enjoyed it. There are some pretty funny jokes in it. The main characters from the first are back and without knowing anything about the movie (I didn't even know it was even being made), I definitely wasn't expecting the plot at first.

Sure it is predictable for the most part but there are a couple of surprises here and there. Worth seeing if you liked the original and either way it is free with only two or three commercials to break it up on Crackle.

Part of the reason that it was made for Crackle is apparently the fact that Sony noticed any time the movie played on TV it had a rather large trending spike compared to other movies and they were looking for something to be the first movie made just for Crackle to hopefully help boost that service. Probably a pretty smart decision since Joe Dirt seems to be one of those movies that critics hate but people love and will find this sequel once they hear about it.

So, looking for good movies currently on Netflix, I read some blog that said "Election" with Matthew Broderick and Reese Witherspoon was pretty good.

Ummmmmm. Not.

Finally caught Jurassic World and i thought it was great. I think the best out of all the sequels really.

And whoever mentioned something about all the plugs...yea it was ridiculous. Like at a shameless level.

Saw it at the Belleville Drive In. Enjoyed it.

The Minions movie - not so much.
