Just visited the ballroom in Union Station in STL. Filming location of the big fight scene of one of my favorite movies, Escape From New York.

Plus, my son has a project for his AP Govt class where he has to watch it, so I'll be watching it again this weekend.

Anywho, bottom line is: if you dig Sorkin and you haven't seen it, you should check it out.

So it's basically comfort food for liberals? Need that after this year, will check it out.

Hope you've got Once Upon a Time in the West queued up! One of my faves. Apparently an early idea for the opening scene was to have Eastwood, Van Cleef and Wallach as the three that meet him at the station. Would have been just about the greatest thing ever.

Yeah. That harmonica music is creepy. Good flick. And the girl in it is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen.

I just discovered a sequel to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon with the same name plus the tag: Sword of Destiny.

Crouching Tiger is one of my favorite movies. It's visually stunning with great effects and Ang Lee did an incredible job on it. The emotion and characters and story are just beautiful.

The sequel was a Netflix original production that was released only in theaters only in China so I wasn't expecting a whole lot, but found it enjoyable. It's set 17 years after the first and bears a lot of resemblance to Lord of the Rings, with the Green Destiny having a similar role to the One Ring. If you liked the original, this is worth a view.

And if you've never seen the original, put it on your short list of movies to see.

I also enjoyed this film quite a bit. Been a fan of Donnie Yen since Hero, so, yeah, this film was a lot of fun.

Loved Hero. There was quite a run with Crouching Tiger, Hero, House of Flying Daggers, The Warrior. Those were some beautifully epic movies.

Anyone else excited about the new Blade Runner trailer? Ubik?

It looked promising, but still paranoid about them spoiling the legacy of a perfect film! Villeneuve is a good director though.

Just saw Passengers. It was really good. My Wife says it's her favorite movie ever. I told her to let it sink in for a few days, lol.

I just watched Central Intelligence last night...pretty funny. I liked it.

I also recently watched Rogue One with my son. We both enjoyed it a lot!!

Gonna watch Suicide Squad in a bit here.

Oh good, about to go see it in half an hour. I read one mixed review and that was it, glad to hear you like it!

Let me know what you thought.

It was good! Some flaws with space physics I noticed (hair not flying around in space suit for Aurora even though it's not tied back) and I thought the ending was a little abrupt, but overall very good!

Oh yeah. Tons of flaws. That hot rebar that went in her arm didn't burn her in the slightest. He lost oxygen to his brain for several minutes. But overall, I thought it was enjoyable.

Caught a bit of the Big Lebowski on TV just now. Whatever moment you turn on to, it's like settling into the most comfy chair.

Didn't Passengers get panned hard by movie critics though? I guess it should be no surprise that the audience reaction is different than the critics yet again.

Double Post....

Agreed on the Big Lebowski. One of my favorites, man.

I want to go see Passengers, The Arrival, and a couple of others. No time with work and 3 kids and no baby sitter though. May have to wait for DVD
