Just watched the first half of Get Out. Very interesting film because I can't quite figure out what the fruck is going on. I thought I was going to be bored but it's very intriguing. My initial guess is that this has something to do with some aspect of human trafficking that I'm not aware of. Or it could just be a stupid horror flick. It was intriguing, but turned out to be the latter.

Also, they made the lead Black character into the nicest guy in the whole world. Dang, even I would marry that dude...and I'm a dude!

I watched "Bend It Like Beckham" on Sunday. A good women's sports movie. I liked the London setting and the British POV behind the whole thing. It was a feel good movie without being Hollywoody.

A Quiet Place lives up to the hype.
Intelligent movie-making, even if I do have some questions about the plot (and the ending).

Throughout most of the movie it was quite suspenseful then came the ending and its like WTF?!?

You know what was a good movie, "Goodbye Christopher Robin". Story about the creator of Winnie the Pooh and his family...more specifically his relationship with his son Christopher Robin. General Hux of Star Wars plays AA Milne.

The problem with Get Out is that none of the characters were real people, except maybe the lead. It would have worked as a comedy, except it wasn't funny.

One funny scene was at the police station when the female detective, after listening to Rod's abduction-for-sex-slave theory, brought in two of her colleagues and asked Rod to repeat his story and theory. As the two colleagues started to laugh their arses off, the female detective turned to them and said, "And don't ever...ever...say I don't do nothin' for you!"

Saw Chappaquiddick tonight, since I had time to kill while the daughter was at VB practice. It was better than I thought. It's speculation, of course, since Kennedy and Kopechne are both dead, but seems to be fairly accurate in regards to what facts are established.
But the one big mystery remains unanswered and the movie doesn't even attempt to answer it: How the hell did Kennedy get out of the car if Kopechne could not? Kennedy could not recall how he got out. That unanswered question alone leads me to believe there is more to the story than even the movie is telling.

The movie Thoroughbreds was quite excellent. The character of Amanda, played by Olivia Clarke, was completely emotionless, which was fascinating to watch. She was a complete Spock, never expressing emotions such as anger, fear, pain, exhilaration...anything. She was amazing in that role and should be considered for awards. RIP Anton Yelchin in his final role.

For some reason I've been watching horror movies lately, something I've never liked to do before. Any suggestions?
