Currently watching The Santa Clause.

Just watched Blind Side

Went to see the Last Jedi last night and while I enjoyed it I just really don't like Adam Driver as Kylo Ren. I just don't buy that he would be what the offspring of Han Solo and Princess Leia would look like and I think he seems like a whiny little bitch angsty teen.

I enjoyed the movie quite a bit.  Didn't like the Fin and that one girls part but overall a great movie.   I am not buying the answer we got on reys parents tho .  As far as Kylo I agree but that is a part of his character

Both Luke and Anakin were really whiny bitches sometime, but he does take it to the next level.  

The Hateful Eight: 8/10. I liked the dialogue a lot. I’d probably rank it 3rd of the five QT movies I’ve seen, behind Basterds and Pulp Fiction, ahead of Django and Kill Bills.

I think this is my favorite Christmas movie. I loved it when I was a kid, and the nostalgia holds up now. 

The Last Jedi. Overall 7/10, "grab you factor" when you're fully pulled into the world the movie is portraying, 3/10. Not the worst SW film, but just another one.

I saw the last Jedi last night. I liked it a lot. It wasn't the best movie ever made and there were a few points i had issues with but i like star wars and i thought this was one of the better ones. (I do get what queen city buckeye says when he says it's just another one, but i honestly think you could say that about all of them except #4)

Kingsman: The Golden Circle

Not bad.  Not quite as good as the first one, but not terrible.  Might watch it again.

Not nearly as good as the first, but not awful.  Agent Pena, and his stupid lasso, kind of ruined it for me.

Last Jedi. 7 of 10. 

I thought it was good. I was not in love with all the jokes in it. The opening can you hear me joke by Poe was pretty bad. Some parts of it I felt the just rushed things. I enjoyed it, but I watched Rogue One  and The Force Awakens the last few days and I liked those movies more than this one. Some parts of it I felt it wasn't a Star Wars movie, but again, it was just good, not great. 

I will say that after watching Rogue One again, man, I love that one., It may be my second favorite Star Wars behind Empire. 

Looking forward to Will Smith's Netflix original....saw a review that said it was pretty decent, and theater blockbuster-worthy.

Agreed.  There's a line to walk with over-the-top spy movies like that, and the electrocution lasso was on the retarded side.

I also have to confess that I felt pandered to with the whole 'Statesman' parallel.  "Oh, there's a US equivalent?  Gee, I wonder how that will play with US audiences?"

It’s up there for sure. I might go Home Alone over it (and I have a soft spot for A Christmas Story)

I agree with your ranking of QT films.  Hateful Eight was pretty good.

Home Alone, all the way!

Last Jedi. 7/10

Big Game

7/10

Not perfect.  The motive for the main Secret Service member doing what he's doing is pretty light, and while the kid actor isn't bad, his lines were written to be a bit stereotypical, but the acting was pretty good across the board, and I liked that they left at least one loose end tied.  Made it seem more plausible in an imperfect world.

Uhhhh Red Christmas on Netflix

-100000/10

I don't know why I continue to watch terrible Netflix movies.

Last Jedi. 7/10

It's more of a 6.5/10 for me. I don't know. In spite of the fact that it pretty much presents itself as a good Star Wars movie, it seems to have done a few things wrong along the way.

Watched El Camino Christmas on Netflix last night. It was alright.

Christmas Vacation - 10/10.
