Asphalt City looks like a mash up between Bringing Out The Dead and Training Day.

Yeah, they both look like hard passes from actors and directors long past their prime. Maybe one of you will see them and convince me otherwise but otherwise miss me with those.

Now, The Ministry of Ungentlemenly Warfare looks like it could be pretty entertaining to me.

Just saw it last night (trailer). Gonna be honest, looks good. I'll probably take Maria and see if my partner/her husband will go

Looks pretty good, and as an actor, I like Sean Penn. But he can be a douche in real time.
 
The Catcher Was A Spy, based on a true story of pro baseball catcher Morrie (Moe) Berg. Berg was extremely intelligent, well educated (Princeton, Columbia), spoke several languages. He also was a suspected bisexual, which has a big part of the movie. He was recruited by the OSS, one of his missions was the potential assassination of Germany's chief scientist who was working on their nuclear bomb.

A decent film, not great, not bad.

The last of us. Just finished 3rd episode, it was a good one. I liked Bill's character, funny they wrote him in as gay but still played a great part.

That show brings out my anxiety. You know how much research I did on food prepping, route planning, and needed equipment to sustain life? Jesus. I even did research on owning a horse because...ain't no gas stations.

Saw it in IMAX yesterday afternoon, from a movie perspective it was fantastic. Can't complain.

From a book perspective they certainly made the battle for Arakis once the Emperor showed up happen in like a minute. The battle lasts a long time.

Original was a lot better at this. I think spending two feature films on one book is outstanding, but this could have been done a whole lot better from a book purist perspective.

The other thing I really hated is how easy it was to kill a Sardukar, they didn't show them teaching the weirding way to the Fremen. Didn't really get the prep that was done before they really got it on with the Harkonnens.

Which is something I have an issue with in film portrayal in Star Wars of Storm Troopers. Storm Troopers are legit.

I'm a James Bond fanatic and I'm getting the itch for a new movie. The last Bond movie was good but the ending left a serious hole in the continuity. I think this guy is a good actor and would make a fantastic James Bond, but he's in his late 40's so maybe just once.

Could Cillian Murphy be the new James Bond?

The Bond franchise lost me with the Roger Moore silliness. Daniel Craig and Casino Royale brought me back. They made Bond meaner, bloodier, tougher. The first three Craig movies were good…the fourth could’ve been better without the overexposed Christoph Waltz and his dentist chair. I thought the last Craig/Bond movie was unremarkable.

This really incorporates much more of Dune Messiah.
