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).

I skipped the other DC stuff, mostly because of Zack Snyder. Didn't make a difference for WW. Might for Justice League, but I'm probably not seeing that either.

I passed on the Garfield Spidey movies. Might see this new one when it comes to Netflix. I was a SpiderMan comic reader, and I'm not sure I care for the idea that Iron Man is responsible for Spidey's suit and tech. But I suppose after 5 movies w/this character, may as well do something different.

Black Panther, though. Pretty sure I'm seeing that in the theater.

I thought Black Panther was the dullest character in whatever movie it was he was in (the last Captain America, maybe? They all blend together).

He wasn't given much to do, and that wasn't a great movie anyway.

I think this looks pretty good though:

I will watch any Coogler - MBJ collaboration.

Yeah, I'm pretty excited for the Black Panther movie. The one I'm most excited about is still a couple years from release though: Captain Marvel.

I finally saw "The Place Beyond The Pines" last night (it's on Netflix). Pretty darn good movie. The acting was quite good and it felt gritty and real. My only complaint really is that a few of the plot turns seemed forced, but I understand why they did what they did.

Twenty Years Later, Joel Schumacher Is Very Sorry About 'Batman & Robin'

"After 'Batman & Robin,' I was scum. It was like I had murdered a baby," Schumacher tells VICE.

I watched "Lila Says" via Amazon Video the other night. It has subtitles, which doesn't bother me.

It was just ok. 2 out of 5 stars.

Moonlight is like a biopic that works. It just happens to be fictional.

Hard to say if the Oscar changed my expectations, but it sure seems like Mahersala Ali didn't do that much. The only thing I can compare it to is Silence of the Lambs, where Hopkins only had 17 minutes of screen time and won Best Actor, but I think his presence was felt over the whole movie and he was essential to the story from start to finish. If I had to nominate one performance from Moonlight, it would be the guy who plays the oldest version of the kid.

Also, Janelle Monae is an attractive person.
