Alden Ehrenreich was a nice surprise.

This guy is going to be a superstar.

He's going to need a stage name. Too hard to spell for the People magazine crowd.

I caught Don't Breathe over the weekend and i must say i was pleasantly surprised. It was actually really good--really suspenseful.

I kind of had high expectations going in because it was getting good reviews, even from places like AVClub, and those expectations were met.

3.5/4 stars

Anyone else catch Hell or High Water? Modern day Western. Pleasant way to spend a Labor Day afternoon.

It was excellent. Same writer as Sicario.

Was disappointed in "Race" - Jesse Owens story. Acting & writing seemed pretty rigid. The SNL guy Jason Sudekis - woefully miscast as Owens coach. Guy who played Jesse Owens seemed less hardened mentally and not very complex as I imagine the Jesse Owens 1936 asskicker. Actor was probably the right age as Owens - about 23, but 23 in depression era black America - that Jesse Owens had to be about equal to at least 40 years living as today.

They probably could have skipped most the parts with the backroom Olympic committee deciding whether to go to 1936 Olympics or not. a few scenes of meetings and votes. zzzzz

My kid was interested in the story going in, but I noticed our entire family was half tuned out on it, rather than watching.

6 out of 10.

Ben Affleck has the pull to make all our favorite Dennis Lehane books into movies, but I wish he wouldn't cast himself or his brother as the automatic leads. Still excited for this tho.

Interesting tidbit about Race, originally John Boyega was supposed to play Owens but then he got cast in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and withdrew from Race.
