Speaking of which, Soderbergh heist movies are extremely my jam.

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.stlouie_lipp wrote:Out of Sight is a highly underrated movie.JoeMcKim wrote:Out of Sight was amazing, easily the best Elmore Leonard translation.

Re: movies
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!

Re: movies
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.

Re: movies
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.

Re: movies
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.ghostrunner wrote: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.

Re: movies
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).
