Same here, wife isn't a car fan at all but loved the movie too.

Finally, no more Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher. That casting ruined the movie for those who read the books. I said a long time ago that Dwayne Johnson (or several others) would have been a much better choice.

I haven't read the books so Cruise was ok in the role from my POV.

The character is supposed to be nearly a foot taller and nearly 100 lbs. larger than Tom Cruise. His intimidating size is central to the character so that’s why so many fans of the books got agitated when Tom Cruise was cast. Since the sequel flopped it’s good to see the whole thing is getting re-booted because it could be a whole lot better than the 2 movies.

I sort of knew he was physically not what the character in the book was.

Watched Knives Out this weekend. Wife and I thought it was great. Loved the cast and their characters

My wife picked Mr Rodgers movie to go see Friday night. Went with her 2 sisters/SOs. Wife was the first to walk out, I followed after about 10 more minutes of trying to figure out if I was having a bad flashback or not. I guess I was trying to hold out to see if he wanted to molest the writer or not.

Both BILIL sat with me in the bar outside the theater TRYING to be excused for drunken in public, but it didn't work.

I saw Widows on Netflix over the long weekend--surprisingly good.

Man, just watched "Once upon a time in Hollywood" and I couldn't be more disappointed. I mean the entire movie (other than the small bit about the ranch) was just trash. Life time wasted.

Hard to believe it's in Oscar talks.

Probably QT's worst movie to date. To think the same guy that made:
Pulp Fiction
Kill Bill
Hateful 8

And one of my personal Top 20 Greatest Films of All Time - JACKIE BROWN

Oscar talks, really????

My three are:
- Pulp Fiction
- Django
- Jackie Brown

I could leave the rest for sure. But damn, they are all better than Hollywood IMO. Just terrible.

I really liked it!

Just watched Gemini Man with my son, don't bother.

yeah, preview was good, the movie bah. This is a must to watch for the tech they use to get Will youth back, google it. Impressive.

A lot of will smith movie are good, but one of my fav is Focus. Margo....

One movie that impressed me lately, it was under '' underrated movie internet list'' ; HardCore Henry. Its a experimental first person movie style. Very unique . A mix of the game COD and the movie Crank with Statham

Absolutely! How can I forget about this "stylistic, violent, sexy" tale of Vampires!

I actually liked Gemini Man. But I enjoy the whole "spy, espionage, action, sci-fi" genre.

Was it better than BOURNE? Nope. Still entertaining.
