Saw "Risen" a couple of weeks ago...Very good, though may not be for everyone. My lovely wife and I went with her cousin and his wife and the all of us thoroughly enjoyed it...Matthew 27:54...Mark 15:39 and Luke 24:47...The main character, Clavius, is inspired by the story of St. Longinus...

Also saw "Eddie the Eagle" T'was a very enjoyable movie. Remembering the Calgary Olympics and the press coverage of "Eddie" brought to life his story of struggle and perseverance...Cheers.

The last movie I went to see was Batman v. Superman and I absolutely LOVED it!

I saw Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 a couple weeks ago. It was really good, possibly better than the first. Lots of laughs. I am Groot.

I am with Blastersponge on Guardians of the Galaxy 2 being better than the first. I loved the first one and the second was phenomenal. LAst night I just saw the Hitman's Bodyguard and I thought that movie was great too. I figured I would stop in a check if there was anything worth watching. Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

I saw both Superman v Batman Dawn of Justice and Wonder Woman. I thought Gal Gadot was great as Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman was a very good movie. I was surprised when Steve Trevor died at the end though. Thought Steve would have lasted longer.

I Just saw Star Wars the Last Jedi, i enjoyed it. Probably not as good as the original three movies but had some great cinematic moments. Definitely worth seeing in the theater!

Hoping to finally see Black Panther this weekend. Gonna pass on Wrinkle in Time. 2018 looks like it has some good movie coming out. The next chapter of Mary Poppins, live action Winnie the Pooh, Avengers. Should be a fun year.

Saw the Last Jedi and now I am disappointed they killed off Luke Skywalker. Was mad that they killed off Han Solo in The Force Awakens. Now that Carrie Fisher is gone I am wondering what they will do with the Ninth movie.


#7 was Han Solo's. #8 was Luke Skywalkers. and 9 was supposed to Princess or General Leia's.


I also didn't like the way they made Luke Skywalker turn into a bitter man that say's the Jedi need to die. I liked the original where he was anxious to be Jedi and fight against the Emperor & Darth Vader.


As for Kylo Ren I think they made him look a punk and if he is supposed to be evil then he doesn't even come close. At least that's my opinion

I always saw Kylo as a spoiled brat prince. Seems to fit his character better. How they fix all of this mess should be interesting. Maybe the ewoks will discovered technology and show up to wipe out both sides. Saw Avengers Infinity War twice now. Good movie but not really great on my book. 3D was totally not worth the money. Don't know why they even bothered with it. Bad side for me was not enough character development. The only person I felt sorry for was Peter Parker. On the plus side it was a film that positively affirmed the value of even one life. Big thumbs up from me for that.
