Kubo is their best one. The latest with bigfoot was technically great but the movie itself was flat. Everyone looked like they had a sunburn from too much rosy cheek syndrome.

I liked it more than the rest of my family did, but it was pretty good.

I hate that the studio is less than an hours drive away and yet they don't give tours. :(

The conversation scene between Woody Harrelson's character and Cesar in War for the Planet of the Apes is really good.

I just learned that the Harry Potter movies are set in the ‘90s and now I am suddenly interested in watching them.

I mean, you know they are mostly set in a castle with just other wizards? It's not like they are running around listening to Pearl Jam

She's in that Charlie's Angels bomb, some Netflix thing, and a sci fi horror movie coming out soon.

Who were the brilliant movie execs that decided to risk tens of millions of dollars on the girl from Twilight that everyone hates?

I didn't love that movie but I liked her in it. I've only seen like 3 or 4 of her films, actually, and I think I've liked her in all of them. I can't remember. She's not someone I think enough about or see enough to hate. It's weird how many people just fucking hate her.

She didn't endear herself to twilight readers when she cheated on the sparkly vampire guy in real life. At least I think that's what it was if I remember correctly.

Also her acting was so bad it became a meme.
