Looking forward to seeing Guardians 2 as well. Next week at the local theater, I think.

Saw Guardians 2 last night. One thing I enjoyed about this film, and the first, is the soundtrack. Another thing is the pop culture references. It seemed that the story was almost an afterthought, an excuse for flashbacks to youthful times (if you are a viewer of a certain age.) if not, you will probably be taken by the quirky characters, cgi, and meta vibe. The mrs. preferred it to the original, my younger kid (who's too young to get the 80's references) was satisfactorily entertained. An entertaining romp, and I'll end up adding the DVD to my collection when it is released.

Dang! It does not come out here for another 8 days.
I have been watching IRON FIST on Netflix (Marvel show) and I like it!

No doubt they're testing the small markets first. I expected a packed house, but the theatre was less than half full. It was shown in English, with Italian subtitles, so I suspect the big crowds would be where the dialogue is dubbed.

Yesterday we watched 'The HandMaiden' A Korean/Japanese film based on the book by Sarah Waters 'Fingersmith'. It's a bit long at 2hr 24m and probably could have completely lost the last scene as it added nothing. The cinematography was very good and the story is quite gripping. And on top of all that there is some gratuitous lesbian sex

It was essential to the story, I'm sure. Happy ending?

I watched the new TEEN TITANS JUDAS CONTRACT animated movie. It was good but since they melded that legendary story into their new animated movie world it was not as good as I hoped.

And today was Guardians 2.
It was jolly good:) I think I liked it better than the first one.

We watched 'MindHorn' this afternoon. A british comedy about a 70's TV cop who has to help solve a murder on the Isle of Mann Loads of chuckles and a few laugh out louds .

I saw Guardians Vol 2. Lots of fun but also a good story and a great theme.

Caught Alien Covenant just now. It's better than all the other installments of the series, but for the original and Aliens.

That is good to hear Meguro. I will have to check it out. Alien and ALIENS are the only ones I really care about.

Alien and Aliens definitely set the standards. AC isn't on the same level. It doesn't disappoint as much as Prometheus, but it definitely is much better than 3 &4, forget about the Predator crossovers.

Got my LOGAN Blu Ray.
That movie was great and gets better with repeat viewings. The making of feature is also really awesome.
