I watched Hell or High Water last night. I had ever heard of it but saw that it got a 99% on Rotten Tomatoes so i figured i'd give a shot.

Well worth your time. One of the better movies i saw this year.

Kind of how I feel. I liked it (quite a bit) and Amy Adams was outstanding, but I walked out saying to myself "what did I just watch? What was it about?".

I saw nocturnal animals last night. The opening 5 minutes was....interesting. Almost nauseating.

Anyway, it started out kinda slow but then really ramps up.

Overall it was pretty good but you might leave the theater asking yourself what the hell you just watched.

I'm sure it'll take home a bunch of oscars.

Michael shannon was awesome as usual.

Guess what, the latest Jason Bourne movie was exactly like the other Jason Bourne movies.

Maybe the only series where this hasn't bothered me. Though I'm not in a big rush to see this one, so maybe it does finally.

With the latest Bourne, it was fine, but a solid half of it was just watching someone type stuff into a computer. If this is Greengrass and Damon making a point about how computers are the real revolutionary weapon, or whatever, then okay, but it wasn't exactly pulse-pounding thriller stuff.

Pretty sure it was a joke.
