Of course it was. Dwayne Johnson just may be the greatest actor of his generation. Is there anything the guy can't do????
Grow hair?
I wonder. I've never seen him try to grow hair... but does he really need to? Maybe I'm just biased because I can't grow hair on the top of my head and can pull off the shaved head so I don't see it as a fault.
Thankfully I can get away with a shaved head. That's the only similarity between myself and the Rock actually. Almost literally.
I canceled my Moviepass, they're on the brink of being bankrupt. They needed a 5 million dollar loan just to stay open this weekend and now owe over 6 million on that by August 1. And they're making you pay Peak pricing just to see movies in the evening now.

Seemed like a horrible business model from the get-go.
Lost City of Z was a disappointment. Does poorly with a good true story. Covers periods of time, an epic yet you still don't know any of the characters and their motivations. Who the hell is this son all the sudden?
I dunno seems like when you have a true epic story, you either go docudrama or make it an art piece with a focus primarily on an aspect ala the excellent "the assasination pf Jesse James by the Coward John Ford" or "Lincoln".
Z could have reimagined the story from the natives' view. That would be interesting. Or the jungle itself should have been a character of sorts. The jungle scenes were underwhelming.
This film pisses me off - so much that took a break to watch Cardinals play like [expletive] for awhile before resuming. .2 hrs 20 min wasted.

I definitely got my moneys worth out of it(and more) so it was a fun ride while it lasted. I guess I'll tune down my theater visits a lot now and at most only go to $5 Tuesdays or early matinees.
I need to cancel my MoviePass but I can't remember my stupid password. I just got charged last week too. I have to get back in and cancel in the next couple of weeks. I knew the service would never last going in but it as was mentioned before, it was great while it lasted.
