  The movie jumped the shark for me with the dream sequences/drug trips or whatever it was. Would've been 20 minutes shorter and so much better without that.
  
  Opening scene is top 5 of all time though.

  agreed (number one for me being Saving Private Ryan)

  Bottom of mine has been dying to see new Point Break, so I watched it with him. 2.5/10 utter trash. Horrible acting, horrible plot, some of the visuals were cool. OG Point Superior in every way.

  "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" 8/10
  
  i must confess - never saw "Khan" until a few years ago. By then, it seemed dated and corny, even though I heard my friends swear up and down it was the best of the Shatner Trek flicks.
  
  But, when taken into the context of the - six? - movies that crew made, it is respectable and enjoyable - although the enjoyment was tempered because my wife kept ogling Ricardo Montalban's pecs and wondering if they were real. And the initial re-boot with Chris Pine certainly were faithful to the story elements and characterizations found in "Khan".
  
  There is the running joke that the even-numbered movies in the series were always better than the odd ones. That makes sense: I hated the first one (one long warp-drive SFX with a ridiculous ending, although the premise had potential). Missed II. Saw III, hated it. Missed IV in the theaters, although I caught in on cable and fell in love with it, and it remains my favorite in the canon.
  
  After watching "Khan", the wife and I then watched "ST V: The Undiscovered Country" - and the running joke held true. Not a great movie, horrible SFX, the plot deterioriated into a corny climax. However, I did like this line from Spock, spoken after a Klingon general says he cannot ask his junior officer to stand down, per Spock's request:
  
  "Damn you, sir - you WILL try."
  
  LOL - I figured that was residue from Spock's learning to use profanity in Star Trek IV, which with Spock's delivery alone made it a memorable flick:
  
  Kirk: "Exaggerate. You've done it before. Can't you remember?"
  Spock: "The hell I can't."
  
  Kirk: "Spock, where the hell's the power you promised me?"
  Spock: "One damn minute, Admiral."

  Hacksaw Ridge- 7.5/10. The battle scenes were pretty good, but the whole movie all I could think was Tropic Thunder with how over the top some of it was. (Yes I know it's a biography). Also never been a fan of Garfield.
• Fab4Runner

  

  Keanu - 5.5/10. I laughed at some really stupid stuff, but even though it's not a long movie, it seemed to drag at the end.

  The only thing I didn't understand was the actress winning best actress for playing Nurse Ratched. I thought she did ok, but I wasn't blown away by the performance.
  
  I need to watch Chinatown now.

  
  One of the greatest ever, in my opinion ----- had it all. The best thing is, it is one of those movies that you can watch many times and each time pick up stuff you missed previously; there are some great zingers that can go under the radar the first couple times watching.

  The Happening...2/10. Awful.

  That is why I don't watch M Knight movies anymore.

  Quite possibly one of the worst movies I've ever watched.

  Was on HBO the other night. Flipped to HBO, and I never had watched it, so figured Id finish. I missed the first 10 minutes, but goodness, the rest was atrocious.

  It was so bad that I actually think Wahlburg was acting that bad on purpose.

  Beauty and the Beast - 8/10. Really loved it, but I'll be honest it has never been my fave Disney movie, so I can't go any higher.

  Finally saw Get Out last night. 8/10

  Concur. It exceeded my expectations.

  Just pre-screened Boss Baby. It was a lot better than I expected. I laughed. 7.5/10
• gut

  Rogue One....4.5
  
  I don't get all the hype. Seemed rather slow and uninteresting, and I probably missed most of the subtle nods to past films. IMO, only the first two prequels were worse.
• fish82

  

  Saw Skull Island Saturday night. 6/8...surprisingly good. Great cast, and setting it in 1973 was excellent. Essentially Apocalypse Now with monsters...win/win IMO.

  Watched The Drop with my wife last night. Her first time seeing it. My third. A strong 8/10. Hardy is excellent.

  I watched keeping up with the Joneses. It was funny. Gal Gadot was hot. Zach Galifinakis played the same awkward guy he always plays.

  About to do a pre-screening of F8. I will let you know how it is.

  I've seen it, and while it's pure shit, that honor currently goes to Darjeeling Limited, as far as I'm concerned. I kept waiting for the plot to fluctuate ... in ANY direction.
  
  This is why I don't watch Wes Anderson movies. I think he's a hack.
