The Lighthouse was visually stunning, had potential. I stopped caring after a while.

There's no doubt there would have to be some of that, but you don't notice one bit.

Watched the rom-com "Can You Keep a Secret?" over the weekend. It is a purely average movie. Not good, but not horrible.

Had to watch this in pieces, unfortunately, but it was worth the trouble. Crappy detectives who can't help stepping on their dicks is a great comedy subgenre. I have a feeling I'd be quoting it a lot if I saw it a couple more times straight through.

A sequel would have been great but it didn't do well at the box office, which is a shame.

The tale of a heroic whale fighting 19th century whalers that threaten the very existence of his species. The makers took the curious choice to follow the perspective not of our hero but of the antagonists and it results in a pretty interesting film. Overly long in places and the framing device of a survivor telling the story to the writer of Moby Dick drains drama from the action.

A watchable 7/10

I had trouble watching this one...I must be getting old and sensitive about animals.

Watched the "sequel" to The Shining, Doctor Sleep....and it won't be for everyone, but I really liked it.

No, no, no, no, no. We don't need a Lethal Weapon 5.

The franchise ended wonderfully with LW4. Just leave it be.

:evil:

I mean, why? It's been 22 years since the last one!!!!
