Really really great film. They should give Mortensen an Oscar already.

I watched the special edition of Aliens last night. I'm not real familiar with the movie, have only seen it once or twice before last night, it was good, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I expected to.

Yeah, psyched about this. I bought McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Short Cuts, and Carnival of Souls. And I was pleasantly surprised to find I had a $10 credit for some reason.

Watched Deepwater Horizon yesterday (my son did a report on it for fifth grade). It wasn't that bad, honestly. Though some of the CGI underwater looked like a Quicktime video from 2005 or something, just turrible. And I could not figure out what I was supposed to be taking away from most of the underwater shots. I get it, something's going bad here, but what, exactly? No idea.

I also liked that they showed the after-effect/PTSD of having survived that. Could have used a few more minutes of it, and maybe more than just Marky Mark, but I still applaud the decision to not end with "and we all lived happily ever after".

This kind of sums it up pretty well:
Mike Ryan of Uproxx praised the film's performances and ability to make audiences angry at BP: "I’ll be honest, I didn’t think we needed a movie about this subject. I’ve changed my mind. And, if nothing else, I hope it gets people angry again, because the people who did this to our planet, and killed 11 people in the process, got off too easy."
Saw the trailer for Patriots Day again and it's scored by Trent Reznor? wtf?

BFG. I liked the first half, though all the stuff with the queen was weird. Longest and most tedious fart joke ever. Fell off a cliff at the halfway point. They didn't really know how to end that one. The giants looked cool though.

What a mess.

Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates is outstanding. What a great movie. And I owe Mr. Efron an apology. He's way better than I ever thought him capable of being.
