The Maze Runner:The Scorch Trials

They were both pretty good. Despite the obvious cliffhanger of a sort and near two hour running time, it felt like there should have been more to it. They felt like different parts of a single flick. After the new movie comes out,put all 3 together and it should feel like a whole movie.

Are they doing a third movie of this books to movie series?  The ticket sales were way down for the 2nd installment and I thought they had pulled the plug on this.

I am still waiting for the final installment of the Divergent series.  Of course, the last thing I heard about that final movie "Ascendant" was that they were going to do a direct-to-tv version of this and most of the actors didn't want to do tv.  So, I am not sure that this final movie will ever come forth.  If it does, I predict a lot of new actors playing these roles.

 The Maze Runner: The Death Cure comes out January 25th.



I hadn't heard of the developments of the 4th movie but thought it was still happening. I came across the wiki page then...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Divergent_Series#Cancelled_film

A third sequel to the film was initially planned, with a March 2017 release, based on the latter half of the Allegiant book.^[53] The timing was changed to a June 2017 release, with Lee Toland Krieger then attached as the movie's director.^[54][55]

Ascendant (TV series)

In July 2016, after the poor performance of the third film at the box office, the producers considered creating the fourth as a television film, which would add new characters to the story who could continue in a spinoff television series, moving beyond the books.^[54][56] In September 2016, Shailene Woodley stated on Today that the film versus television decision was not finalized, and that it was "a limbo waiting game".^[57] In the same interview Woodley spoke despairingly of the chances of her returning to the project in a television format, although noting she would be open to returning to it as a theatrical film.^[57] In February 2017, with the producers having confirmed that it would be a television project, it was announced that Woodley had backed out of her starring role.^[58] In August 2017, Starz and Lionsgate Television announced that they were beginning to develop the TV series.

A Night To Remember(1958)
I heard about this recently and gave it a try. It is about the Titanic and that night. It is better than the James Cameron "Titanic" in the sense that it has more detail of the entire story pertaining to all that happened. There were a few things I wasn't aware of after Titanic but this explained what it was about.

I tried to find a trailer but instead found a few clips and then the whole movie. Here is the movie.




A lot of the movie reminded me of Titanic. I would have to think JC saw it and was inspired to copy most of it.

I wouldn't think there was enough story left to do a full tv series.  A Netflix movie might be col, though.

I enjoyed that one.

Jumanji (2017)

Heros Reborn

I came across this on Crackle and finally got to see it. I am up to episode 7 now and it is incredible. I kinda wish I had seen it when it was on TV. Plus yes, some of the original cast from Heros have cameos in it. The only member of the original cast that is a regular in this is the guy with the horn rimmed glasses.

The first three episodes of The Good Place.

Soof.

Run On
Jumanji (2017)

We finished up the first season of The Good Place.

My wife and I are watching season 2 now.  We really liked season 1, but it kind seems they have jumped the shark with season 2.  I keep waiting for it to get better, but it just seems to be getting dumber.

The whole concept of the show seems to be a shark jumper if you ask me.  I may have just been in the mood for something stupid which was why I liked it in the first place.  I feel the same way about Schitt's Creek.  But, I've seen to many episodes now and feel like I am somewhat invested in those characters.

The "shark jumping" gets even worse in season 2.  We might stick it out through the end of the season, but not sure we will watch a third season (assuming there even is one).  Been finding American Housewife a much more enjoyable sitcom.
I tried the first few episodes of Schitt's Creek, but found the kids too annoying to continue.

A movie about a beautiful nature area.

The kids are what I find as funny!  They are a perfect portrayal of what will happen to Millennials if they don't get some wisdom and stop being so entitled.

I tried the first two episodes of Travellers last night.  Not bad at all!

I haven't heard of that one yet. What channel is it on?

Ok, I found it and see that it is on Netflix. I don't have Netflix streaming so I added the DVDs to my queue.

Loved the first season of that show.  Need to go back and rewatch the last few episodes so I can watch the second season.
