What's The Last Movie You’ve Seen?

Heh, I still think Episode I provides nice background info and sets the scene at least for Episode II. Why not slot it in between IV and II? What's the harm?

The point is that Machete order is about Luke's journey - and Episode I doesn't make much sense in that story. If you leave that out, the stories between Anakin and Luke are very similar - they're both whiny cocky bastards when we meet them, both grow in power, both take a turn to the darkness - but Luke ends up being redeemed, and then redeeming his father in turn.

If it's about Luke's journey then II and III don't matter much neither... I just don't get singling out episode I other than the fact that most people people are bagging it. I read the guy's decision for excluding 1 and one of the reason was that you don't have to put up with Jaja Binks and the pod race amongst other things... I mean that's not much of a reason.

I personally actually really enjoyed watching Anakin grow and pod racing actually goes a long way in explaining that. Also helps to explain why Luke is so good at flying in episode IV. I also think Guigon's relationship with Obi Wan was pretty interesting and really helps in understanding Obi Wan & Anakin's relationship.
 
Seven Psycopaths. Same director and writer of In Bruges and Three Bilboards Outside of Ebbing. In Bruges is one of my favorites and I am surprised he directed Three Billboards I will definitely see it.

Seven Psycopaths was definitely fun. Great cast. I love Sam Rockwell. But characters weren't full developed and the plot was kind of convoluted. I wouldn't call it a great movie but it is worth seeing with tempered expectations.
 
Anybody been using moviepass? It gives you access to unlimited movies in theaters for only $9.99/month. I just started using it and feel like life has changed forever.

The strong point of this movie is the tennis match itself which really was a spectacle and they did a pretty fantastic job of re-creating, they really nailed the authenticity of that time period. Steve Carrell is so convincing as Bobby Riggs and he has some golden moments, which I wish there was more of. This movie focuses on the story of Billie Jean King and her secret love story which I thought was the low point of the movie. Her character needed a bit more of what we saw of her early in the movie. Overall it's a OK movie, played a little too safe IMO.

So I hadn't heard about this indie flick until recently but once I heard the character Aubrey Plaza was playing I knew I had to watch it and well it was pretty great. I like Plaza and she was perfect for it but her surrounding cast was excellent as well. Ice Cube's son is turning out to be a great actor, some of his lines had me laughing so hard. This movie and characters feels very believable, which I gotta give credit to the writing it's excellent.
 
The Circle. Wow. Had to be one of the worst movies of 2017.

It Comes at Night. The first hour was really good imo. Then it went off the rails a bit.

Hopefully I did these spoilers brackets right as I’ve never tried using them before so here come the spoilers. Two main issues with the last 25 minutes. One, when the male guest starts bashing Edgerton’s face in and the latter’s wife, rifle locked and loaded, does nothing, as dude bashed him time and again. Sort of stupid, specifically since the woman didn’t seem like a softie. Secondly and more importantly, as they quarantined themselves in their rooms, shouldn’t Edgerton or his wife been able to deduce that their own son unlocked and went into the red room? In the one scene at the dinner table, earlier in the movie, Edgerton had said the door is always locked and he (and his wife) have the only keys. So how would the young child have snuck into their bedroom, taken the key, used it, and all? I wish they did a rewrite on the ending because it was really solid up until that point.[\spoiler]

The Big Sick-I have to watch the last half hour later tonight but it is definitely one of my top 5 movies of last year. Great flick.

I still think the worst movie I've ever seen in my entire life was Miss Peregrine's. Holy crap. If you like watching terrible movies, this one is for you. It is just so bad
