Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday was the precursor to heath ledger as Joker

I say that somewhat in Jest but both completely floored me as a movie goer. Granted, Tombstone, I was probably 14 years old seeing it in the theater.

However, when i watch these films today I get blown away in similar fashions by both portrayals.

Zootopia

One of the top movies from 2016, and a top tier animated movie.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Kubo and the Two Strings was decent.

I know you asked Jorge, and I’ve not seen it yet, although I’ve got it. But for me I doubt it will beat Zootopia.

I continued my Fast and Furious series watch with Hobbs and Shaw last night.

This was the first dud of the series, in my opinion. There was a lot wrong with it, but mostly it was missing the earnestness of Vin Diesel.

The tension between Hobbs and Shaw felt performative in this one - they pretty much resolved their issues in the last movie.

I liked Idris Elba and Vanessa Kirby, it's a shame they were wasted on this movie.

I actually enjoyed a fair amount of the first two thirds, but the final act was a real stinker. The concept of disabling the guns and forcing the bad guys into a hand to hand fight was good, it just executed poorly and the ticking clock of the virus was lame.

A real misstep for the series and further proof that the Rock kinda sucks.

Fast & Furious 6
Tokyo Drift

Odd. Zootopia is a really good movie. I would rank oveR much bigger hits like Frozen 2

I liked Kubo and the Two Strings the best of the animated movie mentioned here.

As a best case scenario as far as the kinds of movies Disney makes, Zootopia is up there.

Really liked the new Puss n Boots. There should be more awards for voice acting and Antonio Banderas should win them all for this.
