I started watching Grandma (Lily Tomlin) last night and really didn't like it. I'm gonna give it another try this weekend, I think.

It was interesting that we were talking about this today.

I went to see Dirty Grandpa today and loved it. I laughed so hard. De Niro was awesome! Efron wasn't bad either but Bob stole the show. Also, Aubrey Plaza was a riot. Her and De Niro played well off of one another.

Not for the faint of heart and those who don't mind a little (LOT) of raunch.



Anywho, my point is that Now You See Me 2 is coming out next summer. I saw the preview before Dirty Grandpa and I had to laugh. Guess who is joining the cast of magicians?

Harry effin Potter.

Harry Potter, huh? Not sure I'll get around to NYSM 2, but I am going to watch NYSM 1 by Sunday. Not only for Harrelson, but also because I love magic, but I like it up close and personal; sleight of hand card tricks, montes, disappearing coins. I get annoyed with the disappearing elephants and David Copperhead magic. Still, it'll be good to see Morgan Freeman, too.

The De Niro film sounds like fun. Thanks for the heads-up. Will be sure to catch that. I like seeing him in those kinds of films. I wish I saw more great actors take the chances De Niro takes.

Sinister 2 from 2015
Burnt from 2015

Both of them 4 out of 5 stars from me

I saw this tonight:



As I was watching the previews, I was groggy and wondering if I should just get my money back and go home and to bed early but the second the movie started, I was all in.

This is an absolutely phenomenal movie. It's over 2 hours but felt like it flew by. Soooooo good. The acting was superb. I cheered for the good guys and wanted to punch the bad guys in the snoz, like it should be.

I can't say enough about it. Well done!



As a side note, I learned that I can expect this later this year:



I'm thinking this is the last one.

Maybe.

I was hoping to catch all the contenders for best picture by now, but I still haven't seen a few (Martian, Mad Max, Room). I may catch one but not all before the awards are given.

Of the 2015 films I've seen so far, nominated or not, I like Spotlight the most followed by Straight Outta Compton.

I've seen all of the ones you're missing, Orema. They are all fantastic for different reasons. Mad Max is a visual smorgasbord of excellence. Even if it's not someone's kind of genre, no one can argue that it's not extremely visually stimulating. For some, it might be too much so.

Room's power is all internal. Such good acting and such an emotional and mental struggle for all involved. It's relevant on a lot of levels.

The Martian is definitely a big box office movie and you can tell the funding that went into it, plus Matt Damon's a cutie patootie and he's actually funny in this. Not a laugh every minute kind of funny, but when life gives you lemons, you draw on them and make lemon faces kind of funny.

I enjoyed all three for different reasons. You've seen all the ones I haven't. Out of those, who do you feel has the edge?

Thanks for your thoughts, Gemme. I'll make a point of watching all three and I may be able to catch one tonight.

I think Revenant has the edge. Leo has been a man for awhile, but he proved to be a "man's man" in this film and I think that goes a long way in Hollywood.

But, I know Hollywood loves Speilberg and Hanks, so Bridge of Spies may come out on top.

Just finished Martian and I thoroughly enjoyed it—more than I expected. Damon was really good and I thought his performance was better than Leonardo's in Revenant.

It can't be easy carrying a movie when you're often the only person on screen. Good job by him.

I saw Brooklyn, Room, Spotlight, Carol and Danish Girl. I do think Spotlight deserved Best Picture. I think Alicia Vikander did a superb job of acting in The Danish Girl and was happy to see her get an Oscar. What I don't understand is why her nomination was in the Best Supporting Actress category and not in the Best Actress category. She was in practically every scene in the movie.

Probably the same reason The Martian was entered into the Comedy category of the Golden Globes....to give her a better chance of winning the award. There was no way Brie Larson was not going to win for Best Actress.
