Just saw it. So messed up!I'm on my own in San Francisco for a conference and hit the cinema on a solo mission. Very similar vibe to the Witch, but not really until the very last scene, and that's when it really reminded me of the Witch. In fact, now that I think about it, it was almost the exact same payoff, but it was great.

Incredibles 2.
It's great.

You'd have to be pretty heartless not to enjoy Won't You Be My Neighbor?, the story of Fred Rogers. His eponymous show began after my childhood, and my initial reaction when I saw it for the first time with my oldest daughter when she was a toddler was that the show was ridiculously simple, even stupid. But she (and subsequent kids) loved it and the show explains why. Taking all of the standard elements of TV and doing pretty much the opposite, Fred Rogers created a show where his audience learned some very important lessons in a comfortable and loving environment. The guy was pretty amazing, and the private Fred Rogers was pretty much the same as his television persona. One son says something like, "Imagine being raised by a second Christ."
The only ones with anything bad to say about the guy are a couple of Fox News commentators who blame him for kids being so soft today (people shouldn't feel good about themselves until they accomplish something). The Westboro Church also demonstrated at his funeral in 2003 because he was tolerant of gays, apparently.
An enjoyable 90 minutes, with Rotten Tomatoes ratings (critics and audeinces) of 99%.
The trailers make it a must-see. Glad it was well-done. I remember finding it weird as a kid, but my siblings liked it for a while.
"Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."
Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.
Agreed. Loved it.

If not that, we saw something similar on PBS a couple months ago. When I was a kid watching his show, I always liked his trips to factories to see how things were made.

Won’t You Be My Neighbor
Very touching documentary about Fred Rogers. Should probably be avoided super anti-PC people as the central theme of his work was the inherent worthwhileness and specialness of children. They even play a Fox News excerpt about how Mr Rogers ruined young adults by telling them they were special.
Interestingly enough, Rogers was a lifelong republican. Truly a Christlike man.

We went to Sicario: Day of Soldado this weekend and I didn't care for it. It was a poorly written disjointed story and sloppy film making.
That is too bad, as I really liked the first one.
"Friendship is the grand fundamental principle of Mormonism" - Joseph Smith Jr.
Tag. Funny stuff. It is "Hangover-ish". Good fun guy movie.
I thought it was pretty good. Doesn't hold a candle to the first one, and takes a wildly divergent path from it, but I'd still recommend giving it a watch. Solid thriller.

Took my 13-year-old to it, thinking he would be bored. He said he liked it. So did I.

Went and saw the latest Jurassic Park.
It was a fun summer movie - some nice scary moments and a couple of twists and turns in the plot that are at least reminiscent of some of the prior Jurassic movies.
Worth what we paid, but I'm not sure it's one I need to see again in the theater. Does seem to set itself up for the next Jurassic - so we'll see what happens there.
The funeral was in Sandy for sure.Just saw it. So messed up!
Spoiler for what I didn't really like:
What a messed up movie. Amazing acting, especially by the Mom and Son.
The only acceptable and available movie last night at the Cineplex was Ant-Man and the Wasp--the missus was surprisingly willing to join me, so off we went. I’m not much of a Marvel superhero fan, but I like the ones that have enough good dialogue and humor and this one qualifies. It’s better than the first Ant-Man (which I enjoyed), with several LOL moments, some great local shots (it’s set in San Francisco, Muir Woods, and Berkeley), and a strong cast (Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas, Laurence Fishburne, Michelle Pfeiffer, and the always funny Michael Pena, among others). It drags a bit whenever it tries to explain the “science,” although I liked one line mocking how everyone uses the word “quantum” in describing things. The movie is far more entertaining when it leaves the “quantum realm” for the streets of San Francisco. The device of superimposing Pena’s voice over several different characters talking during a recap of prior incidents, and a bit where seagulls near Pier 39 pick off various insects trying to help Ant-Man (“Murderers!”), were especially funny.
Entertaining, plus my wife enjoyed it, which was nice.
It has Paul Rudd in it, which means I would absolutely watch it.
The crux of what has traumatized us about CUF/CG is that we thought they were our friends. And their identity as BYU fans turned out to be the most important thing to them. What empty lives! What a damning indictment of the LDS Church!

Going to go see it tomorrow. I actually liked the first Ant Man. A comic book movie that didn't suck!

Cinema Paradiso. OK, I am only 30 years late. Sue me.
Now I understand the hype. What a gem. And if there is a cuter kid in a movie, I haven't seen it yet.

Love that movie. Which version did you watch -- director's cut, or theatrical? I was told to stick to theatrical and have never seen the director's cut. Heard it adds info that some people think it's better off without.
Saw the new Ant Man movie tonight. I don't care what Walter thinks, I had a good time. And I can almost start to understand funk's Paul Rudd boner.

Not sure. Whatever is on Netflix.

I watched that at “International Cinema” in the SWKT at BYU. Good times!
Went and saw this yesterday - great way to spend 90 minutes. I loved the scene where he is testifying before congress in the late '60s to prevent the cutting of the PBS budget.
I may be small, but I'm slow.
A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."
AntMan and the Wasp. Movie was fun.
I'll say this again...Michael Pena steals the show. He's awesome in everything he does.
I agree, he was hilarious. But I can't say he's awesome in everything he does. He was horrible in Shooter, which, until I saw the two Ant Man movies, was all I knew he from.

An excellent expose on the man. I had no idea the series lasted until 2001. I remember it in the 1960s and early 70s, with my siblings watching it.

I thought he was good in Shooter. He also was great in Collateral Beauty. Highly underrated actor.
No one steals a show from Paul Rudd. No one.
