The Secret Life of Pets. It was cute, if formulaic. I did like that so many different pets were represented, even ones I would never want (tarantulas?). Also watched Zootopia last week. I liked that one better. Really great plot with a genuinely surprising twist.

I liked Snowball best in Secret Life of Pets!

Zootopia was good, too.

The Mummy. Not one I'll likely want to watch over and over, but not nearly as bad as I'd been led to believe. Cruise is in amazing shape for an older actor, but should probably reconsider any plans to go shirtless anymore--old man flat boobs. Russell Crowe did his usual bang up job. He was really creepy In his second role (being obscure for the benefit of anyone who hasn't seen the movie but plans to). Some unsettling CGI; I can get behind that.

LOL. That crack about Tom Cruise is priceless!

Savageland (2015)

Something terrible passes through the off-grid town of Sangre de Cristo on the Arizona-Mexico border, and all 57 inhabitants disappear overnight, leaving nothing but bloody trails. Suspicion falls on the lone survivor, an illegal immigrant; but a roll of photos he took that night tells a different story.

This is a pretty good horror movie. :icon_eek:

:rofl: skimom2, one again you've outdone yourself. Funny, I've been reading some John Cheever, and just got hold of a DVD of "The Swimmer" (1968). In the film, Burt Lancaster at about 55 looked like he was chiseled out of granite. Please take a gander at his man-cans and rate them for me on a Tom Cruise scale from one to ten. I LOVE this Marvin Hamlish soundtrack. Listen to the opening theme. At about 2:50 it just goes Bam!!!

I really like Cheever and thought 'The Swimmer' was exceptionally well written.

This is the only shirt-less Mummy image of Cruise I can find. :dispirited:

Why is he in a white bag?

Watched Nocturnal Animals last night.
Sorry, but the first few minutes was disgusting and far too long.
I had a full plate of nachos in front of me and I had to wait until the images were out of my brain and my stomach settled down before I could enjoy my food.
Though the remainder of the movie was not as nauseating, it was terribly drawn out. Should've followed my first instinct turned it off during opening credits, but I was curious about finding out how it all ended.
It didn't. Don't waste two hours of your life.

I'm the one who put it on our Netflix queue so I'm "not allowed" to pick movies again for a while.
