Tropic Thunder
This is very much a "teen" movie. The jokes are juvenile at best, and the story is kind of lack luster. I mean this is a very popular movie and I just don't think it should have survived, the way it has.

Lethal Weapon
Lots of language, some red food dye and scenes of torture, and nudity. The family element is a trope more than plot. So if we count up the issues on our hand, 1 + 1 + 1 + 1, we will see that this equals a rejected by both statement for this movie.
Movies
Pirates of the Caribbean
This movie is 21 years old. 21 years and still has some outstanding CGI that holds up. The underwater scene and the scene with Sparrow and Barbosa fighting in the cave are absolutely seamless. The phasing from human to skeleton isn't jankie and just really holds up.

Ep 15 - This Message Will Self-Destruct… After We Rank Every Movie
The Mission Impossible Tier list. I know, in fact I guarantee, that you will not find a better list of the Mission Impossible films. We have been talking about this for a long time and really looked forward to it. We also missed last month so we had some other things to talk about.

Wick is Pain
The beginning is slow. I have talked a lot about the realism of the John Wick series and if you know, then you can see how it worked out here. Something super simple made there entire setup more real.
Movies
Official Secrets
I know the importance of what the United States did for the world, the blunders it had, the errors it continues to make, and ultimately the level of corruption that took place under the guise of "National Security." I say all that knowing that I am still proud to have served my country Post-9/11
Movies
The Rock
This is easily one of the earliest movies I can remember loving. The chase sequence of the Hummer and Ferrari is still one of my favorites of all time. In fact, I still have models of both of those vehicles and have had them since I was a kid.

Highest 2 Lowest
The musicality of this movie is good. My favorite scene is when Denzel and the kidnapper have this educational rap battle. It reminds me of the fluidity on Transformed and how there is a rhythm to the spoken word, not just the rhyme.
Movies
Memento
I don't know how to even start this. This is my LEAST favorite Christopher Nolan film and I don't know why people love it so much. Was that acting good? For sure. Was the movie good? Meh.
Movies
Casino Royale
This is 2006 though and parkour and the entire first 10 minutes of the movie is basically that. Which honestly, I am not mad about, but I am glad that it is over.
Books
Code Name: Pale Horse
This was a crazy book full of wild stories from sacrificing a goat, to selling drugs, and becoming friends with the most unlikely people. Scott Payne is pretty good writer and I have no issue with his story telling. Just want more information about certain things
Movies
Marvel Phase 2
With a second set of movies being exactly that, a second set of movies, there is nothing that brings the series forward for me. I think you can start to see the cracks in the formula, but also some highlights that they should have focused on.
