Just saw "The Way, Way Back." Best movie I've seen in a long time. Great story, affecting characters, terrific acting. Written by the same guys who shared an Oscar with Alexander Payne for the screen adaptation of "The Descendants."
Go see it when it gets to your town.

“True, we [lawyers] build no bridges. We raise no towers. We construct no engines. We paint no pictures - unless as amateurs for our own principal amusement. There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

I just hope Besson does the graphic novels justice. He's French and the books are very, very French so there is hope:

Patriot's Day. Enjoyed it a lot, but, Hell or Highwater is still the best movie I've seen in the past 12 months.

I am almost 20 years late to the party on this one. I have been on a world war 2 kick of late and I watched 'Saving Private Ryan'. That was four days ago and i am still thinking about it. I give it all the stars.
I also watched the saints and soldiers trilogy. They have their flaws, mainly due to being low budget, but each one has a really good message.
Watched Sicario for the second time. Really, Sicario, and Hell or Highwater have been the best movies I've seen in the last year or two. Strong recommendation on both -- but note they're both rated R with strong violence.

Agreed. Both are great shows.Originally Posted by mUUser
Guardians of the Galaxy has been on TV lately. Watched it for --- probably the double-digith time. Gotta say its a classic. At least 50 good lines. I think this one is gonna stand the test of time. I'm not a stand in line on opening night guy.....but I may make GofG2 tomorrow an exception.

my wife and I go to the movies nearly every Tuesday night, its our date night. Last night we saw "Mother". Neither of us knowing what it was about or hearing much about it.
Ummmm, I enjoyed the first 2/3 of it, it was mysterious and intriguing. The last 1/3 was bizarre, confusing and awful. I'm sure this move is an artisitc metaphor for something, but I don't want to know what that is.
