I'm the 2d last person on earth to watch Pulp Fiction last night. slightly overcooked and was more than ready for it be over. I enjoyed it, though found it overrated -probably due to expectations and the style-premise has been repeated since then

I am the last person, and don't plan on watching it.

Neighbors 2 was kinda disappointing to me. Don't want to give away too much, but the girls seemed to do far worse than the guys but got off with a whole lot less.

Watching The Guest again. Can't wait for The Woods, the next Wingard/Barrett joint. May they have a long career of generically-titled, violent genre collaborations.

Sicario - I really liked. As always, a minor criticism - centering it around the female lead was interesting at first, then became kind of annoying -one too many sighing moping looking-in-the-mirror-oh what is happening moments.

Her character isn't in the sequel, it has been announced.

With the original, her character was plausible enough, and I am glad they didn't make it "unlikely heroine in an ultra-violent man's world saves the day" - it just was an odd and forced main angle to focus the story thru. The poor Mexican cop and his boy, - was interesting enough since it was secondary plotline.

Just watched 13 Hours last night and I thought it was a really entertaining movie.

The CIA is one scary organization. The secrecy in which they run can become a series problem as this movie points out.
