The Big Sick - 7.5/10. I really enjoyed it.

Icarus was a great documentary. 

Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead is another great documentary. 

Catch me if you can.  7/8.   Always an entertaining flick

Fifty Shades Freed - 10/10 it was horribly amazing.

The Ritual on Netflix.  Not bad.  6/10.  Dozed in and out of it last 45 mins though.

Game Night

8/10

Mute on Netflix

3/10. Sucked.

Devour (or DeVour, as I've seen the name typed before) on a DVD collection.

3/10 -- I give it points for having a bit of intrigue and at least semi-ripping off a good movie (The Game) with its early premise of college kids playing a mysterious computer game that leads to them getting phone calls and having their realities altered. On most other levels, it failed. Came off as more generic than outright bad, although it had its WTF?!? moments from time to time. Probably the most annoying thing was that for a movie that wasn't afraid to show gore from time to time, most of the actual kills happened off screen, while the plot revolved around the main character trying to solve the mystery as to what was happening and everything else was mostly in the background.

Death Wish

6/10

critics are destroying it for terrible timing......whatever.

I thought it was a fun, stupid popcorn movie just like i planned on watching

Murder on the Orient Express - 7.5/10

I'm a little biased, as I have memories of watching the television show featuring Poirot, but it was well done.  Maybe a little of the acting was stiff, but given the meta nature of some of the characters (acting within acting), it's not totally understandable.

Wife really wanted to see this one so I took her to the theatre, I thought 6/10, she was more 5/10 and dozing off at times (granted it was a 10 pm movie start).

Like I said, I was a bit biased.  I have fond memories of watching the show with Hercule Poirot, so as soon as I realized he was in the movie, the rating went up.

The Plague: Interesting premise (on one day, all children 9 and under fall into a coma where they have twice-daily seizures and can be fed via IVs), soon becomes standard-issue zombie movie (on one day 10 years later, all children wake up and are very homicidal). Decent, if not for the minor detail that the ending sucks and makes no fucking sense. 5/10

Wind Chill: Two bickering college students driving gets stranded on a haunted highway during frigid wintery conditions. Starts slow, with too much bickering, but after their car wrecks on the haunted road, the pace might be slow, but there's a cool creepy vibe and I dug the atmosphere. 7.5/10

Suicide Squad 8/10 (2 out of the 8 points given were strictly for Margot Robbie’s ass)

Game Night 9/10

Good to know.  Looks hilarious and a great cast...which sometimes ends-up being very disappointing.

Wonder...8.5/10...just a real feel good movie, and thought Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson were outstanding 

Black panther. I had really high expectations for this movie and i thought it was ok. Probably 6/10

Insanitarium -- direct-to-DVD faux-zombie flick. Has a mindstoppingly moronic plot (guy's sister gets involuntarily ordered into an asylum run by a doctor using questionable practices; guy intentionally goes on rampage to be admitted there in order to break her out), but is entertaining at first due to all the goofy presences in the place (crazy nympho chick, Hannibal Lector clone, etc.).

And then the shit hits the fan, as those questionable practices turn nearly everyone into flesh hungry psychos, leading the guy, his sister, the paranoid inmate who'd been helping the guy and the one sane employee (played by Olivia Munn) to have to fight there way out for 40 minutes of near non-stop over-the-top gore.

Perfect movie for a "shut your brain off and watch" night. 8/10

I watched Lion for the second time so my wife could see it. It is a great film for anyone interested.  If's a true story of a kid who becomes an orphan due to an extraordinary set of circumstances, is adopted by an Australian couple and then searches out his birth mother when he becomes and adult.  REally, really well made film with excellent acting all around.  I guarantee you will be moved by it.

Agree with you.  I'm not a Julia Roberts fan and I was very impressed by her.  I read the book with my daughter.  One of those rare instances where the movie was as good as the book. 

Still think Lion was best movie of 2016.

I  didn't watch any of the other nominees.  But I cannot imagine a better film was put out that year.
