I've always wanted to see Moonlight but when it comes to picking movies from Netflix or Redbox, I always pick something else.

Chappaquiddick Movie..............................very good. How'd he get out of the car? Until someone explains that to me, the whole thing is a lie. I liked the movie too. I've already seen the documentary. I can't imagine the movie being better.

Sometimes, it takes me a second or third viewing to really like something, e.g., The Sweet Herafter, Hurt Locker, Annie Hall.

Sometimes, it takes me a second or third viewing to really like something, e.g., The Sweet Herafter, Hurt Locker, Annie Hall. I have to say here, I rarely watch movies multiple times unless I liked them the first time. For the most part, that may be true for me as well, especially if the movie really sucked. But most of the time, I don't think we're really sure how we felt because of a variety of reasons (e.g., not in the mood for that type of film, unreasonable expectations, lack of maturity, not fully paying attention). Whatever the reason, I would make an effort to watch it a second time -- after a lot of time has passed -- because I believed I was otherwise unfair with it the first time. For Hurt Locker, it had just won the Best Picture Oscar so I had high expectations, so high that nothing could've met it. I waited at least two years after the initial viewing to see if I felt the same about it and that second time, I didn't even recognize the movie. In the case of Annie Hall, I saw it when it first came out in 1977 -- when I was 13. Needless to say, I was probably too young to fully understand it. I watched it again a decade later and it instantly became one of my favorite movies. So, there are a lot of reasons for watching it a second time unless, as I said, it royally sucked. And then there are movies that get worse after the first time, e.g., Star Wars.

Midnight Sun, starring Bella Thorne, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Rob Riggle and Quinn Shephard.
This was an excellent film, far exceeding my expectations. It is quite the tear-jerker, but done really well. I had only seen Bella Thorne a few times before this and she always played a bitch or messed up mean girl. Her character here is a nice, smart girl with a good heart, but suffering from a rare disease called XP which makes any exposure to sunlight potentially deadly. She has lived her life inside during the day and only able to go outside at night. She falls for a neighbor boy she has long admired (played by Arnold's son, Patrick) and struggles to tell him about her condition. Quinn Shephard (who is stunningly beautiful, in an even more attractive version of Victoria Justice way) is her long time best friend and supporter. I have never liked Rob Riggle as a comedian...I just never found him funny. In this film, he is excellent as Bella Thorne's single father, who has been with her every step of the way. He proves here to be a much better actor than comedian.
With the exception of one very minor character who appears in a couple scenes very early in the film, every character here is extremely good, likeable and easy to root for/take an interest in. This makes it even more sad as they deal with difficult situations. With so many films populated with jerk after jerk as characters, it's nice in this film to deal with likeable figures as they deal with human experiences. This movie turned out to be better than I expected, walking in.

I didn't know John Krasinski and Emily Blunt were married. How did that happen? I feel like I've been sucked into an alternate universe somehow. In season ten, Jim divorces Pam.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
Excellent. It ended unexpectedly. I wanted it to go on for another hour or so -- actually more than that. I could watch this film forever, just follow the leads to see where they would go. Frances McDormand won Best Actress and Sam Rockwell won Best Supporting Actor.

Re. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
For the first 45 minutes, I was wondering what state the film was set in. It looked like the kind of backward small town that a state like West Virginia, Alabama, or Mississippi would have.

No. The title of the movie came to me.
