  • Star Wars is real good. As good as the original 3.

  • Have to disagree on The coopers. Unfortunately there wasn't enough Pepsi in my cup to drown myself. It was awful.

  • I see about one movie a year  I would got with Star Wars because it will be better on the big screen. Sisters and Big Short look like they would be just as good out of the old Red Box.

  • My wife is one of those who, believe it or not, gets Star Trek and Star Wars confused... literally, she was asking me as we drove home why there would be a trailer for another Star Wars movie coming this summer... hehe. But, in spite of that kind of unfamiliarity, she will tell you what I would tell you... expectations surpassed... fun show... and lingering question... I'm wondering what Mark Hamill got paid for memorizing all those lines. ;)

  • Watched concussion a few days ago. Very bad movie, and is basically propaganda in the on going attacks on the NFL. Simply a bad movie as well. Will be a flop.

    Hateful 8 is really good, alot of humor and what you expect from Tarantino

    I'm a Star Wars fanatic! Me, my brother, and our best friends sneaked into the Keith-Albee to watch the first S-W movie. Interesting fact about the Keith-Albee, they had an alarm system that would light up at the front desk.
    The 4 of us kept the usher's running for their money, lol, talk about fun, fun, fun:) We even brought our own candy and soda pop to watch the shows. We had a blast!

  • The Big Short is based upon the mortgage crisis that led to the economy crashing in 2008.  The book was good but I don't know how it can be made into an interesting movie .  But they probably embellished the story and changed the plot to make it a movie.

    Kinda like the Kevin Spacey film about the hanging chads of Florida.  I liked that movie because you could feel the liberal butthurtedness much better than in real time as it happened.

  • We decided on SISTERS...about what you'd expect from a "SNL movie"...story was so-so, but the chemistry between Tina Fey and Amy Poehler was terrific...

  • STAR WARS exceeded my expectations...which were pretty high.

    I agree that I will probably wait to see others on redbox.  Speaking of SNL, the writers must be stoned, because that show hasn't been funny for 10 or so years.

    And speaking of really bad movies.  I recorded "John Wick???" movie about an ex-hitman with Keanu Reeves during a free HBO weekend deal and just watched it....talk about horrible writing.

    "Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity; they seem more afraid of life than of death"  – James F. Byrnes

    Government is the most dangerous institution known to man. Throughout history it has violated the rights of men more than any individual or group of individuals could do: it has killed people, enslaved them, sent them to forced labor and concentration camps, and regularly robbed and pillaged them of the fruits of their expended labor. ~ JOHN HOSPERS
