Beauty & The Beast (2017)

What did you think of it, did you like the original animated Disney film?  
I will likely skip it as the animated story was one of my least favorite of the Disney catalog.

Star Wars- Rebels

Predator 3D
Top Gun 3D
San Andreas 3D

Watched The Magnificent Seven remake last night.  Dang there is a whole lotta killing in that movie.

My wife insisted we watch "Fences" last night (with Denzel Washington and Viola Davis).  I'm glad she did, it was a very powerful film with some great acting.  Despite the excessive use of the "n-word" I would highly recommend it (just not for little kids).

We watched Hidden Figures this weekend. Great, great movie. Highly recommended -especially for all you nerds... err, I mean engineers.

My wife saw it in the theater and was very impressed.  She insists that I will have to watch when she get's it on disc.

Star Trek :The Motion Picture
The Wrath of Khan

We loved the animated version.  If you liked it as well, then you will love the movie.  The story is the same.  The characters are the same.  Even the songs are intact.  They went to great detail to make the animated version come to life.  Now, there are a few elements added here and there, but overall it is Beauty & The Beast come to life.  The Beast looks so real.  Emma Watson makes the definitive Belle.



Tonight, we watched:
Episode 5 of Leminy Snickett's Series of Unfortunate Events.

Thanks for the insight.

We've been on a "My 600 lb Life" kick lately... not sure why, the show is quite disgusting.  But it's like a car accident, you just can't help but look. It also helps us to not snack in the evenings

MST3K on Netflix

Fantastic Beast movie.....not bad at all.

Episodes 6-8 of Leminy Snickett's Series of Unfortunate Events

That's all for that Netflix series.  Now, I have to wait until 2018 for the next 10 episodes!!!

Disney's "The Lone Ranger" (from 2013).
Seems obvious after a second viewing why this film didn't do well.  For one it was just too darned long for what was ultimately a relatively weak story line (2-1/2 hours).

We're watching The Hunger Games.  Started last night will finish Mockingjay 1 & 2 today.

Moana
Sing

Passengers

My wife really wants to see that.  I have a sneaking suspicion that I won't like it.

Rouge One
Still a really good film even knowing the ending.

USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage

Decent recent flick about a very real tragedy that happened to a ship full of U.S. sailors near the end of WWII.  If you have Netflix you can see it there.

Just watched Hidden Figures with the wife last night.  What a great movie.  At first I rather thought it might be a heavy handed civil rights kind of film but I didn't get that vibe at all.  Even though the movie is centered around 3 black women working as "computers" for NASA in 60's, the film is mostly about people centered around NASA's race for manned space flight.  Great film, and added bonus that math nerds are the heroes of the film!  Like Ish, I highly recommend it.

I've got a local bud/friend that saw it in the theater with his wife and they loved it. I had forgotten about for a while, so now it is added to my Netflix "Q".
