Jumanji reboot being a box office juggernaut is not a thing I expected.

In all honesty it’s a good popcorn movie. Actually surprised at how family unfriendly it is— definitely earned every last bit of the PG 13. Kind of liked how they handled the making it a video game.

I think I might go see the Jumanji movie at Galleria this evening. I've seen the trailer a few times and it is probably something that I'll laugh at more than I should.

Re: movies
watching some older flicks I missed. - Secret Life of Walter Mitty was decent. been decades since I read the short story, so I have no loyalty to the short story, which I'm sure the movie has little semblence to.
Bourne Legacy. good. a 2011 movie -Holds up well
Captain Phillips - didn't care for it. Too long. I fell asleep with about 20 min left and almost didn't even bother to finish it. When he went on the lifeboat with the Somalis, the format of the movie went adrift. The movie made characters out of the Somalis at first- which was interesting, but then in the end they've morphed into boring stereotypical caricatures.
I'd have preferred they skip showing what was going on with the Navy side- we know the Navy was going to handle these guys, it was just a matter if Phillips could hang in there via how he interacted with the pirates. I'd rather they have shown what was going on with his wife, than the Navy.

Re: movies
Just curious, have you seen any other nominees? I caught Shape of Water before Christmas and Three Billboards after the new year. I really enjoyed I, Tonya but it's a distant third for me of that trio.go birds wrote:i went and watched I, Tonya last night....has my vote for best picture
It actually seems like it could be a crowded field this year.

Re: movies
Three Billboards is on my list but i'll be honest about shape of water...i'm no Del Toro fan. Just can't like much of anything he's done. Hellboy was good but after that....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzvinsanity wrote:Just curious, have you seen any other nominees?

I'll have to review the list of potential nominees and regroup, but nothing i've seen in the past year really holds a candle to I, Tonya.
Dunkirk perhaps, but if i'm choosing between the two, i'd probably go i, tonya (and i say that as the board's biggest Nolan honk)

Re: movies
If you liked Dunkirk then you should go see The Darkest Hour, it really makes a great companion piece.
