Funny movie. Didn't do much for my fear of people spitting in my food though.

That movie doesn't even begin to touch on urban tales of the food service industry. I worked at several bistros and high end hotels. One of the dumbest things a human being can do is to openly complain or badger the staff of a restaurant. They work terrible hours. They get paid nothing. They usually are not happy with their situations. You're basically just asking for them to do something to your food. That episode of South Park is pretty close to the reality of it.

Money Monster rocked, although I have concluded that George Clooney basically plays the same character in every movie. It's a charming character, but the same one. That said, a totally fun movie.

Years ago my friends and I were at Long Beach Wa for a few days. My friend just HAD to have breakfast at this little restaurant. He said they had the best biscuits and gravy anywhere.

We pulled up to the place and I noticed some dude in a booth staring at us for some reason. I flipped him off.

We got inside and I saw the guy get up and walk back in the kitchen.

I told my friend we had to leave but he wouldn't. I didn't even have a glass of water.

My friend had biscuits and gravy and jizz that day, I'm sure of it.
 
Triple 9 was entertaining -- some great characters -- but I can't tell if it was really good or completely missed the mark due to the ending!

Did you see 'Hail, Cesar!'? I thought Clooney was great in it. I haven't seen Money Monster yet but I'd say he shows a little bit of range in all of his roles in Coen Brothers movies.

He was also the director of a very good movie with David Strathairn as his lead actor in "Good Night, and Good Luck." Watch it if you haven't seen it already.

I haven't seen it but it looks interesting, thanks for the recommendation!
 
I saw Keanu with Key and Peele. In spite of the ridiculousness story line, Key and Peele are a solid comedy team so I decided to check it out. I don't watch many comedies, but this one is worth checking out if the story line isn't too ridiculous for you.
 
Saw the Jungle Book tonight. Loved it! Jungle book is one of my favorite Disney movies. I did however have a few issues with it, like how it was less of a musical and more of an action adventure. But at the same time I realize you want to create something a bit different, so that wasn't enough to make me not like the movie.

Some of the low key jokes were great like what Mowgli is playing with before he meets King Louie. I'm sure I will buy this when it comes out on Blu-Ray.
 
The Nice Guys was great. I'm a big fan of Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is legit one of my favorite movies ever) and Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe are two of my favorite actors as well so I knew I was going to love it.
 
Anyone else as excited as me for the movie popstar coming out june 3rd? The lonely island are hilarious in everything they do.
 
30 Cloverfield Lane.

Solid low budget film, 7/10.
 
I just finished watching The Hateful Eight. What a disappointment (though Jennifer Jason Leigh was absolutely wonderful). Having seen several Tarantino movies now, I continue to struggle with whether (A) I'm too shallow for Tarantino movies, or (B) I'm not shallow enough for Tarantino movies. I've just never been able to get" them....assuming they can be "got"......it had a great cast though, so it had that going for it.....

Maybe you just don't like them. It doesn't have to be about how "shallow" you are.
 
Just watched Beautiful Girls with Timothy Hutton and thought it was a really good old film with a great cast..

I liked it for the look and feel plus the acting was great. A movie like Pulp Fiction had that and a great story.

There wasn't anything mind blowing about this story unless Sam J describing in detail a certain murder floats your boat.

If I watched it on my 65 inch tv I'm certain I'd have liked it less.

I suspect this movie wouldn't have been made by a no name director, or it would have been extremely low budget at the least.

Tarrantino is hit and miss with me...he takes horrible scripts and fills them with often forgotten great actors which sometimes works..sometimes doesn't for me.
Loved Pulp Fiction, Dusk till Dawn and the first Kill Bill movie. Didn't care for Django or the Hateful Eight so much.

What about Inglorious Basterds? And Reservoir Dogs is great too.
 
I watched Master and Commander again, on boat with Sat TV. Geez! that movie is already 13 years old, but I love it. And that rarely happens.

Wow, that is one of my favorite movies. Looks like we have something in common after all.
