My Life As A Zucchini was wonderful, a real gem.

[Anders]

Miss Sloane

«In the high-stakes world of political power-brokers, Elizabeth Sloane is the most sought after and formidable lobbyist in D.C. But when taking on the most powerful opponent of her career, she finds winning may come at too high a price.»

Watching this now. Jessica Chastain is good.

Amazon prime recommended this super low budget indie sci-fi film called The Endless, which has a lot of good reviews. I'm not impressed.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

[Anders]

More or less agree with that. Decent movie with a good finish.

Man that movie! I'd totally forgotten about it.

[Ms Harmless]

The Endless is great, almost everything Benson + Moorhead touch turns to gold

I didn’t like it

10 Cloverfield Lane

« A young woman is held in an underground bunker by a man who insists that a hostile event has left the surface of the Earth uninhabitable.»

Not expecting too much, but it is fairly higly rated. Watching it now.

American Honey

«A teenage girl with nothing to lose joins a traveling magazine sales crew, and gets caught up in a whirlwind of hard partying, law bending and young love as she criss-crosses the Midwest with a band of misfits.»

This is next, and afterwards I will have 20 movies left from 2016, 10 first time views, and 10 rewatches.

Fantastic film, though it’s 20 mins too long

I was genuinely trying to get to know you better.

[Anders]

10 Cloverfield Lane was just ok, although it had a decent ending.

Now American Honey.

Really enjoyed the first hour of American Honey. Will pause it for a while now, and continue later.

[Anders]

It did feel a bit too long at the end, but still a good movie. Great cast.
