    I saw Tomb Raider last week. I normally have zero interest in movies based on video games, but I was at Whistler last week and usually hit whatever b-movie is playing in the village. My big takeaway is that the new Lara Croft is hotter than Angelina Jolie (I never saw the last ones). It was meh.

        Catching up on Oscar nominees. Get Out was better than expected. Shape of Water was interesting. Really cool feeling and story for most of the movie, but it got a little cliche at the end. Best by far of the year for me is Three Billboards. Wind River I put above the other films on the best picture list (but I've only seen about half).

            I took my seven year old daughter to see A Wrinkle in Time last weekend. It won't go down as a great piece of filmmaking, I'm sure, but it wasn't nearly as bad as some of the reviews make it out to be. I didn't think it was bad at all, actually. I read the book in 4th or 5th grade and enjoyed it then. My daughter and I both liked the movie.

            I did think this piece in CNN was interesting, although regardless of the filmmaker's intent in casting African Americans into some of the lead roles, it didn't come across to me as a political statement. But if some kids see it as a positive to see someone they might relate to because of that, then that's cool.

                Can’t believe you guys waited so long to see Get Out. That’s the real “best movie” of the year.

                Shape of Water was unique and interesting but like pretty much every Best Picture Winner (except No Country for Old Men) I don’t think I would ever rewatch it.

                    STFU. I've watched Gladiator at least a dozen times.

                        I'll still linger awhile if Gladiator is on the TV. It's a solid rewatch.

                                OK Gladiator is another that stands up to the “I would rewatch this if I stumble across it on cable in 15 years” test.

                                From that standpoint Moonlight is an epic fail even though it was OK to watch once.

                                                One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.
