Jackie was an absolute snoozefest. Natalie Portman gave a great performance i guess but then again i have no basis for comparison because as i was watching i realized i had never heard Jackie O speak. If i have i don't remember.

regardless the movie itself was boring as hell and that overshadowed any good performances by the actors

Logan is tremendous.

Jackie was very monotone and gave off the feeling she'd rather be anywhere else, IMO.

Yes, yes it was.

Awesome news for the physical media dorks still among us (are there any besides me?):

Kino is not only releasing a 50th anniversary blu-ray set of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly this summer (cool), it will be the first time that the 2h41m American cut will have been available in high-definition (awesome). It's been the #1 pebble in my shoe all these years, the fact that MGM only released a blu-ray of their own extended cut featuring 20 minutes of scenes Leone dropped before the American premiere, which not only murder the pacing and are totally unnecessary, but feature 40-years-after-the-fact audio looping (since dialogue was never recorded for them in 1967). I'm so hyped.

This is great news. Though I almost worry it will look TOO good.

I watched Passengers and thought the critics were just a little too harsh. I mean, it's not winning any academy awards or anything, but i thought it was entertaining.

The visuals were pretty stunning.

Watched "Get Out" last night, I thought it was a touch slow to get going (a problem I gather a lot of Blumhouse films have) it was really, really good. Many enthusiastic thumbs up.

Get Out was unsettling as [expletive].

I got the chance to review a few of the films showing up at QFest in St Louis for the website We Are Movie Geeks, and my favourite was probably "Women Who Kill", a really funny movie about a couple of lesbian true-crime podcasters, one of whom gets into a relationship with a woman who, it turns out, might be a serial killer herself. Highly recommended.

I finally had 10 year old and my 8 year old girls as well as my 11 year old niece watch Raiders of the Lost Arc with me. They loved it , Mrs. Wart - Not so much.

My 8 year old was a little scared, but got through it O.K. I don't think I will have her watch Temple of Doom any time soon however.

That movie holds up surprisingly well.
