I haven't seen it yet. I hear it is good. So once again I'll need to participate in the insanity that is Tom Cruise.
The best looking person in U.N.C.L.E. is Vikander.

Any chance one of you Techies will create a thread that new movies can be added to the first page and volley talkers can click on a yes or no counter for each movie? What i mean is, by looking at number of yes and no s we can decide if a movie is worth seeing... only one vote per person and the list can be alphabetized for ease of access or better yet organized by release date... I know it is a bit of work but maybe a techie is up for the challenge while providing a very useful function to his or her fellow volleytalkers...

I watched Straight Outta Compton awhile ago. It was good but a lot of stuff was left out and/or changed to make you have sympathy for the members of NWA...showed some of their hoodlum behavior but with a number of the members having oversight on the project, they tried to better their image which was a shame. And yes, Ice Cube (played by his son) did get to use the line "bye Felicia" which was a crowd pleaser.

Saw Self/Less. I like the movie and Ryan Reynolds' performance enough to wonder why both did not get favorable press.
A few minutes into the movie, I told my wife that this was either a re-make of Seconds (1966 Rock Hudson), or was borrowing liberally from it without calling it a re-make. Seconds is a better movie, but rather depressing.

Fantastic Four has got to be a new low. I usually don't nit-pick movie too much. As long as I can enjoy a movie, I can forgive a few holes in its logic. But this one, OMG, it might merit a PhD dissertation on how to shoehorn multiple holes into each minute. Tomorrowland has holes just like most Sci-Fi movies would/should. It is nevertheless enjoyable, and with likeable actors. Has this happened to you? At one time I ran out of recent action movie to watch, and dug up this Die Hard wanna-be called 12 Rounds to fill the gap. Half way through, my wife and I both realized the reason why the movie seemed familiar was not only because it stole much from other movies, but that we had seen it 7 years ago! Well, since we forgot so much of the movie, it was not a complete waste of time

on DVD.
Great film. Loved it. Better than Mad Max: Fury Road. Ask me ten years from now if I still feel the same.

The Martian is very good. You can see aspects of Apollo 13, All is Lost, and Castaway in it, but the film doesn't feel derivative. A surprising amount of humor as well, particularly for a Ridley Scott movie. It occasionally slides towards a kind of rah-rah cheesiness, but overall is a very enjoyable way to spend two hours. Great cast, too - although it's a little jarring seeing Kristen Wiig in a dramatic role.

And yet, the author has now made a lot of money from it....

It also echoes Gravity.
What I most liked about it was the absence of a villain.

I must have liked Martian. I went to a midnight showing (not by choice) Friday night after averaging about 4 hours sleep the previous 5 days, and stayed awake throughout, even for the beginning part of the credits.

On DVD now, but rent it if you can:
The Description:
The Pardon – The true story of Toni Jo Henry, a woman tried for the crime of murder in 1942 in the state of Louisiana.
Toni Jo, a product of childhood abuse and neglect, briefly discovers love and happiness that soon turns to despair when her husband Cowboy is sent to prison and she embarks on an ill-fated plan with an accomplice Arkie to free him.Because of her beauty, Toni Jo instantly becomes a notorious celebrity, drawing the unparalleled media attention of two highly publicized and sensational murder trials.
Her story is a story of hope, a story of love and a story of redemption, as Toni Jo discovers the true strength within herself and, with the help of a priest, Father Richard is able to face her life with a calm and peace that defies explanation. --- Very tastefully done, from beginning to end. The shocking reality of what people do when they are desperate. The powerful last words of the man that was killed. How unjust our legal system truly can be and was in this particular case. You will be surprised at how unjust it was. The love and patience shown by the priest. Mercy shown in the midst of a very unfair trial. Nothing goes unnoticed by God. Powerful ending.

Sicario: big on atmosphere, a little short on story. Still, one of the better movies you'll see this year, I bet.

I was never much of a boxing movie fan, except for the Rocky movies. But I just got done watching Creed. Not bad. Anyone interested in watching it for free. Here's a link to an upload. Not sure how long before it gets yanked. But as of now, it is still available. bestreams.net/j43x6adg7d57
