Non-SuperHero Current Movies **spoilers**

MI: Fallout


wow.....I found myself laughing out loud at the implausibility and yet thoroughly enjoyed the movie from start to finish. while the action was very well done and the MI aspects were there- it did not take it's self seriously-

a two solid thumbs up

We just got back from seeing it :) Agree completely. I do wish they had done the trailer differently, I can think of a good number of scenes that would have had more impact if I hadn't been thinking well here comes that bit from the trailer. Really glad Rebecca Ferguson came back for this one.

I’m pretty sure Tom Cruise ran more in this movie than all previous Mission Impossible movies combined. And he ran a lot in those movies.

I agree with the choice of scenes in the trailer. Certain scenes would’ve had a bigger impact had they been left out.

We saw Blindspotting this weekend and we loved it.  It was funny, which I didn't expect from the trailers, insightful, and just really well done.

i went and saw The Meg

while the acting was decent, the script lacked originality - pretty one dimensional characters. the shark & underwater scenes are killer tho-

We've seen both - saw Sorry to Bother You in San Diego. We liked Blindspotting more. But Sorry to Bother You is good too; just completely different.

Sorry to Bother You is nuts!!  I need to google it so I can understand the symbolism, lol.  I keep thinking about it.

Blindspotting was excellent.  Daveed Diggs is just so adorable, I love him.  And of course the movie is more than handsome Daveed, it really puts you in the shoes of the characters.

I saw Eighth Grade yesterday and my shoulders hurt afterword from all the cringing.  Great movie, but it sure does bring back uncomfortable memories.

This weekend we are seeing Black Klansman.  I'm kinda upset with AMC, their website didn't have it as one of the main movies on the first page and I had to click on  See All Movies to find it.  It opens today, for goodness sake!!

And next weekend is Crazy Rich Asians.  I read the book when it first came out and loved it.  Very excited for the clothes and the wealth and the beautiful people who happen to be Asian :)

We are seeing Crazy Rich Asians next week. Alamo Drafthouse has a special menu for it. Can't wait to see the movie, and try the special menu. I need to read the book!

I'm planning to buy my first ever movie theatre alcoholic drink when I see it.  We're doing a Ladies' Afternoon Out.  And yes, read the book!

YES. Sorry To Bother You was CRAZY. After seeing it, I had to read up on it so I could fully understand it.

We're seeing Eighth Grade tomorrow, really looking forward to it. My kids are big fans of Bo Burnham, since his YouTube days.

And looking forward to Crazy Rich Asians too! Probably need to see it next weekend.
