Movie Time

So lately, I've had a bit of a backlog of movies to watch.  We're not going to the movies as much, and we're enjoying television more than the movies.

And yet there are still ones that I want to see.

So this weekend, I had the opportunity, and I've caught up on some.

Pirate of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales - Not really a great movie.  Enjoyable to watch on the background while playing a game, but otherwise unexemplary except for the effects and the story of the cursed crew.

Attack the Block - I got this as a recommendation because of the soundtrack, but the movie was actually cool too.  Three surprise actors in it that I wasn't prepared for.  John Boyega (Finn the the Star Wars postquels), Jodie Whitacker (the new female Doctor on "Doctor Who"), and Franz Drameh (half of Firestom on "DC's Legends of Tomorrow").

Kingsman: The Golden Circle - A fun sequel, but not something I couldn't look away from.

Arrival - A really cool movie that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Passengers - Both good and disturbing.  A good excuse to watch pretty people in peril.

Logan - As violent as expected, and wonderful.  Getting to hear Professor Xavier cursing was so awesome.

Predestination - The work on this was really great.  To take a short story like "All You Zombies" and make a full length movie out of it was quite a task, but so well done.  This is one could watch again. Not that I missed anything since I knew the story, but just for the pool pleasure of seeing it again.
