Kong: Skull Island

Hated it the first time I saw it (25th of November 2017), so just hoping for a better experience. Think that’s likely.

First 2017 movie, as I will watch a lot of movies from 2017 over the next two months.

It’s better than I gave it credit for. Not a very good movie, but it is certainly well made, with plenty of action.

Yes, I enjoyed it. It had a better pace than I was anticipating.

The Big Short. It's pretty good, but I'd like it more without the quirky exposition, and Michael Scott doesn't quite work.

Why were you anticipating a different pace?

Watched Murder On The Orient Express. Think Kenneth Branagh is awful as Poirot. Better as s director of Poirot. Movie was just ok, too overly dramatic, misplaced action.

I enjoyed Sorcerer. Very tense and a great score.

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.

Spider-Man: Homecoming

Third timr seeing this. It’s a bit overrated, but it’s good for light entertainment.

It’s certainly a lot better than that RT rating. In primary school we all loved it when it came out.

I know it’s closing in on 100 years old, but Sunrise (1927) is beautiful. What an achievement in filmmaking.
