Bird Box. Overrated. Not scary at all.

Welcome to Marwen. A dumb, stupid, waste of money movie.

Saw The Mule today

Tickets are really 15 bucks these days? What the ever loving hell!

Movie was mediocre best. Was hoping for Gran Torino but running drugs, and it fell far far from Gran Torino.

Acting manages to surpass that big problem
Worth seeing if you remember first hand Cheney's rise to power
Many of people in our screening pretty obviously GOP voters--growls of dissent to be heard--but pretty factual research
And don't leave early--
The end credits are literally a "hook"...
Way too much narration.

Their caricature of Cheney being responsible for literally everything wrong in the world was a bit much.

I watched Instant Family in the theatre with my Aunt today. It was mostly a drama with a few comedy moments thrown in. Not worth the full price tickets, better to see it at a cheapie theatre if your city has them, or on Redbox.

Vice—

I didn’t like the format. Think a regular story line would have been much better. Christian Bale gave a wonderful performance as Cheney. Looked and acted exactly like him. Amy Adams was great as Lynne Cheney. Since all the movies I’ve watched her in she seems to always be a nice girl, it was interesting to see her play a conniving part.

All in all, glad I went. It does show what evil a person who has tremendous, unchecked power can render.

You should watch The Master. Her role in it was practically Lady Macbeth and she played it with incredible precision. It's probably the best performance in her career.
