Real Steel. The Kid wanted to watch enormous Rock-em Sock-Em Robots, so we did 
Jackman is reliably likable, but Evangeline Lilly is luminous. I really can't imagine why she's not in more movies--she's got a natural style that's easy to like.

I read the book years ago, and I'm pretty sure I liked it, but I can't remember much about it.
ooh, enticing!
From reviews I've read, there is a real love it / hate it divide on this. I think people that were around in the 80s understand this movie more than those that were not.
Wildlike (2014)
Excellent indie film about a girl who is sent to live with her uncle in Alaska because of drug troubles her single mother is having. The Uncle turns out to be a molester and the girl runs away. She is alone in Juneau, Alaska and she doesn't know anyone or have anywhere to go. She starts following a solo backpacker (who is dealing with grief) who reluctantly lets her tag along (he actually has no choice because of their location). During the hiking trip through the wilderness, they slowly learn about each others troubles.
It's not really as much of a downer as my description sounds like
. There are a couple of scenes in the first 15 minutes of the movie that are difficult to watch but once you get past that, you should like this.

What's the process, an Icelandic film about the login name dissapearing. It is based on a French movie from 1951. Just blue with an white underline. And God said only drink twice a week. Like the thing about the Russian robot escaping.
I watched Silence of the Lambs and Con Air with my teenager tonight. He told me that Silence was a let down for him. 
Independence Day: Resurgence - alien invasion sequel with less stupidity and much less glutinous gung-ho US flag-waving than its predecessor
The Conjuring 2 - pretty good horror, based on allegedly true events
God Of Egypt - preposterous nonsense, great eye candy, big fun hokum

Hi!
I haven't welcomed you to the board yet. Say sorry. WELCOME!!!
I like Con Air very much and it only took me a few years to figure out why it was called CON Air.
Oh. Em. Gee.
The Man Who Wasn't There. (Hoopla)
A laconic, chain-smoking barber blackmails his wife's boss and lover for money to invest in dry cleaning, but his plan goes terribly wrong.
Why have I never heard of this movie? Why did no one turn me onto it? The Coen Brothers totally rock.
Before and After (Hoopla)
Two parents deal with the effects when their son is accused of murdering his girlfriend.
After the first couple of moral quandaries it got a little tedious for me. And I kept hissing at the the goofy mother and father. Goodness, stop trying to help. You're NOT helping.

Marat/Sade (1967) or, it's full title, The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade. Yeah. One of those flicks. This is one mindscrew of a movie, and it sure ain't for everybody. Not because it's raunchy, no...I know, you see de Sade in the title and yer thinking ol Muskie just watching dirty stuff again. Nay, never think it. This is, pretty much, what that long complicated title claims. An adaption of the Tony award winning play, featuring a mesmerizing Patrick Magee as a haunted and morose de Sade. Think Philosophy Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest. Thoughts and ideas to drive one mad.
I was watching Loreena McKennitt in concert, called Nights from the Alhambra. Very good show.
In the process of watching Jack Nicholson in Five Easy Pieces. I've never seen this one. Watching Jack is mesmerizing, so that's what's keeping this interesting and the fact there are a lot of recognizable faces.
Watch for Fannie Flagg. She's the red head that's always chewing gum for some reason. Really country sounding. There's a bowling scene that I remember. I'll wait until you watch it to avoid spoilers.
Yes, saw the bowling scene. I'm about halfway through. Karen Black, Sally Struthers (you see nekkid breasticles with those two. Sort of surprised me that meathead's sweet wife would be flashing boobage.)
Lordy, I could just imagine Archie's reaction, Awright, hold on dere, no little girla mine is gonna be flashing her unmencheenables fa a buncha pinko prevoits!
Have you seen In The Bedroom?Oh. Em. Gee.
