We watched this tonight...good movie but left me pissed off and hard to express why. I'm not a parent but have ideas of how I'd be, this just made me angry.Captain fantastic - it's on prime if you have it. Basically a man raises his 6 kids in the wilderness. They are all very book smart, cultured, and can live off the land. A family tragedy forces them to go into the city where the kids realize they know nothing of the real world. Family issues come up and he starts to question if raising them right. It's pretty good and hard to stop watching. First scene is a little intense and the last half hour gets a little weird. Funniest part is the kids faces when they are watching their cousins play mortal kombat. It's well acted even by the little kids, a good movie, but nothing that will change your life. Definitely an indie movie feel to it. 7/10
I get that completely. As a parent I didn't like how isolated from the world the kids are. If you want your kids to be book smart and cultured that's great, but social skills they were lacking in my opinion is harmful. Also obviously didn't agree with many of his parenting decisions and the last 15 minutes was really weird even if he thought it's what they needed.We watched this tonight...good movie but left me pissed off and hard to express why.

The founder - story of McDonald's and Ray Kroc. I could not turn this off and only parts that weren't that interesting were the love angle. Basically he got in on someone else's idea, improved it and found a way to cut them out. He was absolutely ruthless. Lots of interesting stuff in how he slowly took power over from everyone. Well acted on all parts. 8.5/10
She'll like it. Like I said the weak part was his love life. Obviously Hollywood took some liberties as I did some looking after and wish it would have done a little more on the aftermath of the original owners he screwed, but it was really good. They left a lot of the good and bad of him out.
Thanks! I've been wanting to watch this one. Keaton's one of my favorite actors, as is Nick Offerman. This review will give me backup ammo to help coax the wife into wanting to watch it.
Excellent show...have only a couple more to go to end season 2 but wifey and I love itBillions on Showtime.....9.9/10....only 22 episodes to catch up on....best series I've seen since the Sopranos
