I agree. It was very good but not super memorable. Some great performances though.go birds wrote:Finally caught Midnight Special and while i thought it was good and would recommend it, especially if you like Nichols' movie, it just didnt really stick with me like his other movies.
I dunno--maybe i just didn't really get it. I guess i was just expecting more of a payoff, given the subject matter. Again, that's not to say it was bad--it was really good actually. It just didn't really go anywhere, IMO.

I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't watch The Shawshank Redemption until this weekend.
I'm glad that I finally did.

That's almost impressive. How could you avoid it?Radbird wrote:I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't watch The Shawshank Redemption until this weekend.

Rewatched it with my daughter- her first viewing- on flight back from Paris. She wasn't excited about it until she started watching. Great story.Radbird wrote:I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't watch The Shawshank Redemption until this weekend.

Anyone watch Green Room? I liked it, but like Midnight Special, I'm not sure i understood the point.
Why was the girl murdered? I feel like i may have missed the explanation behind that.

We saw Ghostbusters, I laughed a lot. I don't care what anyone says it was a good movie.

Re: movies
ill have to go back and review some of the criticisms of Batman v Superman, because i watched it last night and found it enjoyable.
It clocks in at 29% on RT but 4.5 stars from viewers (on VUDU). I've never seen that much of a disparity between critics and regular schmoes.
full disclosure: i also liked Man of Steel so maybe i dont hate zack snyder as much as the comic books nerds do
