Speaking of which, Soderbergh heist movies are extremely my jam.
Out of Sight was amazing, easily the best Elmore Leonard translation. I really like Jackie Brown too but QT made it just as much his movie as it was a Leonard movie.
Out of Sight is a highly underrated movie.

I'm in on this. Especially after hearing the Jamie Foxx interview on Howard last week.

Fantastic movie. The central relationship is perhaps all-time top 10 for making me believe they wanted to bone down constantly.

Going in I had no idea "Logan" was a superhero flick who was in it etc. Just read here that some people liked it and I wanted something to watch. Was disappointed when I saw the mutant/ wolverine thing happening, I've never seen one of these... but was surprised that I liked it that much.

Even though I found it decent, IT'S THE LAST TIME I'LL DO BLIND RECOMMENDATIONS FROM YOU KIDS!

Wonder Woman is maybe a top 5 superhero movie for me (competing with Guardians 1, Spidey 2, Xmen 1 and 2, and Dark Knight Returns ), though I partially agree with my favorite critic that it falls apart at the end. Tonally it's the closest to the original Superman movie - optimistic, fun, and not Zack Snyderesque until the end. Up to that point the action is perhaps a bit like Snyder but it's well lit and focused so you can understand what's going on. David Thewlis feels like a casting error, unfortunately.

Just watched John Wick: Chapter 2.

All the cool stuff is just rehashed from the first movie and the double-crosses and all that stuff are painfully obvious. I remain nonplussed as to why Ruby Rose (who may be a delightful person) is getting such high-profile gigs in huge movies, despite no appreciable evidence she can act; same with Common, too (and it's not like Keanu Reeves is blessed with a massive range). A bit tiring.

I saw this over the weekend and I'm trying to place it in my superhero faves. Top 5 sounds about right for me too (Dark Knight, Iron Man, X2, and Guardians 2.) I do think I need to see it again, though. We went to a drive in with friends, my first time going. Wasn't all I hoped, unfortunately. Still had some daylight it seemed for the first 15 minutes. Group of about 4-5 motorcycles then showed up late and pulled in front of us, was very distracting. Another car tried moving around too after showing up late. I would think it's common courtesy if you're late to sit/park in back, but I guess not.

Haven't seen Wonder Woman yet, but I'm sorely behind on my DC Universe movies to see them all fit together. I'm not looking forward to seeing Batman v Superman. Suicide Squad I can sit through, and I remember watching Man of Steel way back when it first came out in like 2012 or 2013, and it was fine.

Once I'm caught up I can see Wonder Woman, which will likely be just in time to see Justice League later this year.

Also, just under a month until Spider-Man: Homecoming. I'm excited to see how Marvel can play it up with him (I thoroughly enjoyed his scenes in Captain America: Civil War).
