Watched the latest Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood, Boogie Nights, Punch Drunk Love, Magnolia, etc.) flick One Battle After Another with Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro and others. Sean Penn stole the movie IMO... not really a stretch of a role he was just particularly...

Blasphemy!

I think it would be important to have seen the first Predator just for creature origin/groundwork/background and maybe also Prey since this was the kickoff of the "better" sequels. None of the other Predator sequels are super important or worth watching IMO. And if you know what an Alien is...

My gaming pals all upgraded their consoles a while ago while I have been clinging to my XBOX One mostly because I don't have a 4K TV and if it ain't broke why replace it. It was not an issue for the games we have been playing together (primarily Destiny and previous Battlefield installments...

Next up on our theatrical movie theater list if we can get to all these before they leave circulation... 1. Bugonia 2. Keeper 3. Sisu: Road to Revenge 4. Tron: Ares Next up on demand... 5. Anemone Also watched the new Del Toro Frankenstein on Netflix. It was beautifully filmed with great...

Enjoyed the new Predator movie. It had some campy humor moments maybe more then I would have liked but it didn't ruin the movie for me. Plenty of Predator and Alien homage moments to previous films and a nice continuation/progression of the tie ins between the two franchises. Happy to see...

Let me know what you think. I could probably be convinced to see it if it’s as much of an IMAX/XD spectacle as Legacy… even if it’s lacking in substance.

Agreed my appreciation for Legacy was solely based on the in theater IMAX experience and technical merit. I was definitely willing to overlook a lot of critical content while I enjoyed the spectacle. Admittedly there was a little nostalgia as well having seen the original Tron in theater with...

D'oh. Had tickets and ended up cancelling them after seeing some reviews. I'm sure it's still great eye/ear candy but could the reviews be any worse? And I trust Mark Kermode he is my go to YouTube film critic... this is positively brutal...

Binge watched the entire Netflix horror series about Ed Gein this weekend between bike rides, pumpkin farm visit, yard work, etc. Mild Spoiler Warning: No discussion of story or plot details just general observations. Crazy stuff. Very graphic. Main take away was how much this one singular guy...

Big fan of this band and their multi layered riffs. New album coming Oct. 3rd and the early release tracks are solid.

Saw Weapons this weekend we loved it. Like an unholy hybrid mash up of Hereditary (creepy Pagan horror) and Magnolia (multi character perspective/chapter storytelling that eventually all ties together). Not for the squeamish but outstanding modern horror flick IMO with even some bits of humor...

We got tickets for Eddington this weekend psyched for that for couple reasons... Ari Aster directing... but even more so Ari Aster directing with Darius Khondji behind the camera. His movies tend to looks absolutely amazing. Been a big fan since Delicatessen, City of Lost Children, Se7en and so on.

Oh and we saw new Superman IMAX today it was good fun but probably not absolute must see.

Hoping to catch F1 on the big screen. Some movies are just worth a trip to the IMAX theater. I feel like my home theater is good enough to enjoy and appreciate most movies but there are some that just need to be seen (and heard) huge. Short list off the top of my head of some recent IMAX...
