I genuinely hope it was obvious that my previous comment was a playful jab at you.

I liked Nights in Rodanthe until the twist, after which the movie turned into cheap, hollow, manipulative garbage

The Endless.

Well, i liked more the other two movies from these guys, but there were some cool sci fi elements to this one. Still, it was mostly a let down.

Game Night. I saw it on a list of under appreciated films from the first half of the year. I like okay; it was fine. Some funny lines with more action than I expected but it got a little ridiculous towards the end.
Another one filmed in Atlanta.

I've been trying to watch the Tomb Raider reboot. I keep turning it off every 5 mins. I figure I'll finish it by September.

A Nicholas Sparks movie with a twist? I'm shocked.

I liked the Event Horizon novelization quite a bit so I was pumped for the movie. Eh. It was good, but the book handled the Gothic Hell scene a lot better somehow.

Speaking of, the book I'm reading right now - Blindsight - was compared to Event Horizon. So far it's just boring and I hate all of the characters and I'm roughly 60% through. They keep talking about how the aliens aren't aliens and there's some thoughts on self that seem interesting when other people talk about them in reviews but I'm not pulling it from the book yet. I assume there's something in the next 40% that really pulls it all together though.

Just read warhammer 40k lore instead.

Can't argue with that.

Rewatching “Logan”

Still great and takes on a new relevance now

Busy night last night and watched a lot of movies that my wife wouldn't want to.

CHiPS (2017)
The Equalizer (2014)
Bubble Boy (2001)
Beerfest (2006)

Chips was funny in a way I didn't expect. It was kind of dumb in a lot of places, kind of "no shit" in a few others, but there were enough parts where I laughed out loud that I liked it.

The Equalizer was pretty great. Very stylized, maybe a little slow paced here and there but good overall. I liked some small touches like when he meets up with the spooks it's not Bill Pullman that's in charge. The fact Denzel got away with the whole thing was refreshing, I've seen so many of these films where by the end the "good" guy is just as beaten as everyone else but he's just like, nah bro, and goes on living his life. Can't wait to see the sequel.

Bubble Boy was pretty dumb. Not stupid though, just dumb funny. Patently ridiculous at points with the coincidences but that was some of the charm too. The Asian wrestling scene is amazingly insensitive and really seems like the kind of thing that would end someone's career nowadays. The whole movie though makes me wonder how he got another film done after that. Looking at Wikipedia, he did Donnie Darko the same year? Huh, interesting career.

Beerfest was not very good. It was like something that Broken Lizard tribute comedy troupe would do. Some on-the-nose jokes - some that worked and some that didn't - and some weird pacing and shots that made it look like a television show. And the use of CGI was horrendous. The final scene was kind of embarrassing. They couldn't use tea or something like in the syrup scene? Steve Lemme though was great because I totally forgot he was even in the movie, he just disappeared into that pube wig.
