I assume the Gunns were from that part of town. I always think it’s cool when directors use their hometowns and I wish it could happen more often. Really any location filming in areas you don’t see a lot.

I just assumed that the town in GOTG2 was supposed to be a small town in the basic Sikeston or Cape Girardeau area, nice to see it's relatively close to St. Louis.

Ocean’s 8 is a firm “meh.” There’s none of the tension or suspense of the Clooney movies.

It never at any point feels like they’re going to get caught and the one person who does catch them inexplicably doesn’t give two [expletive].

I actually liked that about it. Or at least I liked that that there wasn’t a villain, and I wish more movies did that. A couple more obstacles and screw ups might have helped. Maybe a little more time spent on characters. I’d like to see a Linklater take on one of these.

I think there was a villain. I just think it wasn't tense at all.

I went to see Adrift today. I'm a sucker for against all odds natural disaster movies and this was made by the same guy who made Everest which I really liked.

I thought it was really good. It's 90 minutes and really moved at a good pace. I've never seen Shailene Woodley in anything and thought she was terrific. I think the flashback storytelling style robbed the film of some of the tension that would build, but it was shot beautifully showing the never-ending expanse of the ocean and its' power. If you liked All Is Lost, you'll like Adrift.
