Great cast. I'm really enjoying it so far.
a good 70s movie...are your parents nazi's?
I don't think so, but I can't say for sure.
I really enjoyed the movie. I was surprised at how old Robert Duvall looked, but I just looked him up and he was born in 1931. He's older than Michael Caine.

I remember really liking the great santini as a kid

Showing Up was lovely. A dryly funny, quiet and gentle viewing experience that sneaks up on you in that very specific Kelly Reichardt kind of way.
Michelle Williams tends to be very hit or miss for me, but she was great in this. Judd Hirsch is awesome in everything. Nice to see Andre Benjamin, too (great flute work).
It’s not First Cow good, but very good none the less.

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.

First Cow is definitely my favourite, but Wendy & Lucy is right up there. There's still a few I haven't seen.

Captain Fantastic
Excellent story. Think it manages to avoid the pitfalls stories like this can easily fall into.

20th Century Women
«The story of a teenage boy, his mother, and two other women who help raise him among the love and freedom of Southern California of 1979.»
First time seeing this, have a good feeling about it. About fifteen minutes in so far.
10th last 2016 movie.

I thought it fell in them a little bit. It was OK.

I understand where you’re coming from with that, because it’s not a million miles away from having something cliché about it. Still I think it’s well cast, well written, and ends just right. Good movie.

M3GAN. Half-way through, enjoying it enough so far. Better than Black Mirror.

Have got 45 minutes left from 20th Century Women, but we have been a little bored so far. Not very impressed with the acting or the story. Will finish later today.

Watching Arrival now. Great tension so far, has a big movie feel to the production.

First for my wife. I saw it in the cinema (16th December 2016).

Allison Williams drops the ball in this. The child acting doesn't help either. But the robot effects are cool. 6.2/10

No Hard Feelings.
Exactly what I expect it to be (but with two surprisingly emotional scenes that I didn't expect). I enjoyed it. J-Law slays. I'd watch her in anything.

I thought you meant Jude Law and was quite perplexed for a second there.
