Rampage looks like a big dumb fun action movie that is entertaining but not something you really think too much about. If you're just looking for an entertaining 2 hours of your life then it'll fit the bill even if it won't be listed in the years top ten movies.

We're moving closer to a world where my TSB script "QB Eagles" could get a green light. Also, The Rock is magnetic.

So complain a out Rampage all you want. I'll call you out from the stage when I win an Oscar.

Is this an adaptation of the arcade game from my childhood?

Yes.

Coco is great, but the Frozen lead in (which cheats you of a Pixar short) feels longer than the feature. My nephew, very loudly, asked ''can we watch Coco now?" about halfway through. No one in our big party liked it.

Given his family, Wart might have a different report though. I'd guess many little girls got a rush of euphoria only hard drug addicts can relate to.

Coco is already the highest grossing film ever in Mexico.

Wind River was pretty good, but agree with assessment

on how it shape shifted a tad too much- towards the end where " dang it, why they going this way with it?" then you become ok with it in the end.

Also, not sure what "based on actual events" means. Is it that general situation referred to in the postscript- with violence towards Native American females and #s unaccounted for, or is it a specific case? I guess they want us to look it up. If it is not actual events, as good as Jeremy Renner is, I felt a bit uneasy with a white superhero as savior of largely helpless Native Americans.

Really looking forward to seeing "Three BillBoards Outside Ebbing Missouri". My expectations may be too high now, but hopefully leveled off by time I get around to seeing it.

I can't add anything to the discussion about Wind River but just reading that excerpt got me going.

These days 'based on actual events' just means that there was once a person with a similar name to one of the characters and who happened to be alive somewhere at about the same time. Maybe.

Ever since finding out that the Titans of Remember the Titans were actually the last integrated team in their conference and blew out everybody they played that season while not playing a single all white team, the terms 'based on a true story' or 'based on actual events' just gets ready to be ticked off.

There are so many 'artistic liberties' taken with that movie that the story isn't even remotely true other than a couple of characters were named after real people and the school won the title. Sure, the car accident happened but it was after graduation and not during the season.

The absolute worst part is that I would still love that movie if they hadn't said it was based on a true story. If they'd just put out a movie about a fictional school that was the first to integrate and win a championship then I'd still think it was a great movie. Now I get irrationally irritated every time I stumble across it.

Just watched "Sleeping With Other People" with Jason Sudeikis and Alison Brie. Fantastic from start to finish, laugh out loud hilarious and extremely poignant on the romance side of things.

The amount of raw emotion that went into the "I love you for free" lines and the buildup to it might make it one of my favorite scenes of all time
