Wicked - 3.5/7 - dunno, not for me and I enjoy musicals. my movie going companion thoroughly enjoyed it though.

Conclave - 5.5/7 - entertaining, well-acted, compelling story. best picture worthy? probably not. but still enjoyable nonetheless

You didn't like Wicked?!?!

it was fine

Wicked for me was damn near a perfect movie. I don't think you have to be a fan of musicals to enjoy it but I am and I did.

I feel like wicked missed me somwhat too.  It was fine, the acting was fine, and the world they build was beautiful.  The music did absolutely nothing for me.  My wife can listen to it on repeat for days and there's not one song that I found catchy or stuck with me.

I certainly wouldn't say it's a bad movie as I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but it just didn't connect with it in any way.

I think if I had seen the live musical before my feelings would be different.

Chompy and the Girls - A heartwarming tale of marriage, fatherhood and addiction.

My wife hates musicals, ballet, and symphonies. This is fine by me.

Wicked was like an hour too long at least.

The Return 3/7 boring. I had reasonable expectations based on the rotten tomatoes score and Ralph Fiennes being Odysseus. I was expecting action but it didn’t deliver in that regard.

Emily the Criminal 5/7 - Aubrey Plaza very good!

[Stevesie60]

I recently got Mrs. Stevesie to watch Training Day. Our favorite podcast is Macrodosing, of which Arian Foster is one of the two hosts. Fun fact, he was in Draft Day and it gets brought up on the podcast every few episodes.

30mins in she goes "this seems like a weird football movie". Which is when I learned she was mixing up Training Day and Draft Day.

So we laughed about that for a while. But now Training Day is one of her top 10 movies.

That’s a really fun story

The Substance-Great but too long.

The Order-Jude Law taking on MAGA militia's in the 80's was good.

Conclave-Looks so cool, sound, dialogue all really great.  Story mediocre.

[bucket]

The Substance blew my expectations out of the water. FWIW, I had no idea what to expect.

Flow - A simple story told really beautifully.  Maybe a good watch on mushrooms?

Chain of Fools - Pretty solid Jeff Goldblum, Steve Zahn, and David Cross movie.

i'd be happy to read a defense of blue velvet, do we have any members of the lynch mob on here?

RIP

RIP

Not Blue Velvet but I watched Mulholland Dr. this past weekend. I struggled to pay attention and follow the story.

Just realized the guy died. I thought you meant RIP to the defense of his movie.

Naomi watts tho 

[catastrophe]

Had a couple 3 hour flights so I watched Never Let Go and Anatomy of a Fall. Both decent and interesting. Can’t say I’d recommend, though.

Naomi watts tho 

Yes, that caught me by surprise

The Accountant still kicks ass. Looking not to TA 2 later this year.
