Hopefully it's descent after all these years of them talking about it. Just hope they don't have Ridley take over for Tony as he's been crapping on enough classics lately. I guess Maverick will have to break orders and start taking out drones when he returns to the air. Who knows?

Fun story. Had a friend in HS who's dad was retired Air force and did something with the movie. Had the Maverick helmet that Cruise used in the movie encased in the middle of his office.

Lion - What a powerful and intense movie. At first thought the whole reading thing was going to get old, but it finally gave way to english. Thought there were moments in the middle of the movie that felt like one long night, but other than that, they managed to squeeze some onions into that redbox disc.
The score was incredible. I'm a huge fan of movie scores and this was a great one.

Mr. Right - has Sam Rockwell as an assassin who has gone straight and now only kills bad people. He runs into Anna Kendrick who's boyfriend has been cheating on and they date. He tells her what he does and she doesn't believe it and the whole time on their date they are trying to kill him. Eventually she witnesses him kill someone and ends the date. She kidnapped and he goes after her. He kills all the world class assassins and she after two days with him discovers she is a world class assasin as well and kills the other bad guys. They run off togethor both crazier after that. There is a reason HBO didn't advertise they had this movie. No gator chomps for this one. It deserves Seminole chops instead. To top it off they waisted Tim Roth in this movie
Home - this animated thing has been floating on Netflix for years and my son could care less. Have it come on with commercials and he has to watch. Bunch of pink aliens running around on earth after they peacefully took it over to escape the bad guy. Rihanna does a voice and the music and it's like a long music video for her. Needless to say at the end everyone is happy and gets along after it was all over a misunderstanding. Kids might like it but I can name about 100 animated films right now that are better. 3 gator chomps for adults and maybe 6 for young kids

Saw two movies on redbox this weekend:
Resident Evil: Final Chapter - Special Effects action movie that felt boring. I did enjoy the first two Resident evil movies, thought enjoyed them both. This was a lot of action that made less sense than an 80's action movie. Seemed to skip over thing that would make more sense, and was extremely predictable. It was pretty much hot garbage. Rating: 2.5/10
Threat: No titties were seen or harmed in this movie. And it really needed some titties.
Split - Really good idea, and James McAvoy was excellent. I have seen him in a lot of roles were I questioned how good of an actor he could be, this completely changed my opinion. The story is very limited and most of the characters are the personalities that are in McAvoy's role. The ending could have been better, but it is obviously a set up for the coming Glass mash up. M. Night Shyamalan movies (most have been overhyped garbage) it was the few that I really enjoyed. 8/10.

since it rained almost all w/e, we watched a bunch of movies too:
Split - I haven't seen Unbreakable, and don't really know much about M. Night Shyamalan except for Signs (which I really liked), so I thought this movie was just OK. McAvoy did an excellent job, the filming kept you guessing, story line moved along, but you had to know that peeps were gonna die. Scary to think that there are actually people out there that move from personality to personality like that. 3.5 of 5 stars
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales - I have to agree with the others, great movie. It's by far the best since the first one. I'm one of those that really likes the Pirate story line (although, not as big of a fan as Leach is), and enjoy the mystic around them, especially when I'm at the beach, so this one was right up my alley. New twists in relationships, more dead pirates that can't be killed until the curse is broken, and those amazing European style dresses
- no total boobies, but the tops of a lot of them, which is close to full exposure.
Worth the price to see it at least twice in the theater, Mrs. Trux gives it her approval too - 4.5 of 5 stars
La La Land - meh. It was a Mrs. Trux pic and since she lets me pick a lot, I'd return the favor. There are much better singers than Gosling & Stone, and they proved it in this movie. However, if Gosling is the one playing the piano in this, he's on top of his game. Liked most of the music, but the story kinda sux. I can see why it was nominated for so many awards, cause those people voting don't know good cinematology. Mrs. Trux didn't like her pick so I'll get to pick the next few we watch :) - 2.5 of 5 stars is generous for me - if you have nothing else to do and you like musicals, watch West Side Story

Ha ha Ginger I saw Mr. Right a couple of weeks ago. We make a good team because we hardly ever agree. None of the Resident evil movies are that great (I doubt I'd bother to watch them without Milla Jovovitch in them). I'll have to give the Final Chapter a viewing.
Mr. Right (2015). Sam Rockwell at his quirkiest. A polite assassin. At one point he's going to kill somebody or rescue Anna Kendricks - I forget - and runs into one of the body guards outside. They have a casual conversation and catch up on old times then says something like "see you inside, sorry I have to kill you". It's by far not the best movie but if you like Sam and Anna being quirky it's a fun ride. No boobs (that I remember) but Anna has that girl next door ILF quailty that keeps your mind in the gutter. Joe Bob says check it out.
Speaking of Sam Rockwell
Better Living through Chemistry (2014). Another Sam Rockwell masterpiece. This time with a blonde Olivia Wilde smoking up the screen. Sam is a mild-mannered pharmacist with a bitchy wife until he meets Olivia the rich and neglected wife of Ray Liotta. Olivia introduces Sam to the finer things in life - like pilfering his own pharmaceutical supplies and the cowgirl position. "Hilarity ensues" as Sam mixes pill cocktails, deals with his wife, overbearing FIL, and troubled son until he and Olivia hatch a plan to be together. Sam and Olivia are actually fleshed out characters and the plot takes some twists with an unexpected ending. Better written than Mr. Right and worth it for quirkmeister Sam Rockwell and blonde Olivia Wilde. No boobs, gratuitous kinky sex fu. Joe Bob says check it out.

Makes it fun and encourages a second viewing to see if your missing something or weren't paying enough attention. It had its moments. I still haven't seen even one RE movie though.

Storks - Another one I got the 4 year old to watch. This one isn't that bad as I tend to rate most children movies these days based on if I could watch it everyday for the next month and not go crazy. Basically the Storks have gotten out of the baby making business and now deliver packages for an Amazon type company. They did this because of an incident 18 years prior where a baby wasn't delivered. The main character is then going to be promoted to boss when a letter arrives that somehow activates the old baby making machine and he has to try and deliver the baby without anyone finding out.
It has a pretty good voice cast (Andy Samberg, Kelsey Grammer, Jennifer Aniston, Phil from Modern Family, Key and Peele), some legitimate laugh out loud moments and a pretty good message to parents that work to much and can't get their face out of their phones. Its as solid animated movie for kids 10 or younger in my opinion. Would give it 6/10 gator chomps.

Florence Foster Jenkins - biopic starring Meryl Streep. Some may find this funny and quirky but at times I found it just annoying and unfunny. Her performance outshines the movie.
Basically a wealthy heiress loves opera and dreams of being a singer. She is married to an actor (marriage of companionship and convenience) and appears in his plays. He truly loves her but has mistresses due to her having syphilus from an earlier marriage and the meds at the time were poisoning her.
She makes a record and it become popular for how horrible she is. She wants to put on a performance for troops and her husband goes to great lengths to hide all the reviews from her to keep the illusion up.
It's an ok movie, but not my full cup of tea. It's not bad, but I'll never watch again probably. Some might like this better. 6.5/10. The performances outside of Streep are good as well.

Finally saw La La Land. It was good and the music wasn't boring. Not one I'd put on regular viewing but would watch again if on. 7.5/10
