Super Sweet Movie Discussion Thread

Finished The Widow. The ending was a bit too "protagonist wins" and "jumbled mess" for my tastes. I didn't hate the ending, but it detracted from a really good series.

Hanna on Amazon Prime...hard pass. I made it about halfway through the second episode before walking away. "You got your coming of age story in my assassin thriller! You got your assassin thriller in my coming of age story!" Those tastes do not taste great together. I don't care if it improves, I won't be around.

Agree with this 100%. Widow was SOLID up until that last episode, and my suspension of disbelief was tapped out by the idea of Nell's Evil Twin suddenly jumping in European society with little-to-no social dissonance. I made it about halfway through the season and when it became apparent it was shaping up to be a teenage drama that happened to have guns, I quit. Dollhouse was a more believable story...
 
The Highwaymen was very good. It's the story of the two former Texas Rangers brought out of retirement to hunt down Bonnie and Clyde.

It was apparent accuracy was important to the producers. I liked that the story was presented from the "other" perspective and in a way that didn't glorify Bonnie and Clyde.

I just finished watching it and enjoyed it. Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson were great together.
 
I shall also go to see the dumbest action movie since Snakes On A Plane. Fast cars, explosions, Helen Mirren, and Dwayne Johnson doing a haka. How could I not partake?!
 
This is the most batshit stupid thing I've seen in a long time and I say that as a DoD contractor. I will watch this. Also, Vanessa Kirby and Dame Helen Mirren make my parts tingle.

I've got to learn to stop oversharing.

Was that Roman Reigns I see?

Just finished it and strongly concur. Accuracy and attention to detail were very strong, and both Harrelson and Costner were at the top of their game.
