Rocky II has the best fight of the series and the best non-fighting scene of the whole series (Rocky and Adrian at the zoo).

Captain Marvel ............ B-

The only things I thought were great was the de-aging FX work (it's like it got perfected finally), and the make-up work. The only thing I really hated was the dim/murky cinematography in many scenes, similar to how dark Solo was. It was also distracting hearing the music composer lift from Hans' work from Interstellar in a couple spots, kinda like how Klaus took from Gladiator for Curse of the Black Pearl. The rest is..."just fine". Bree is fine, the plot is fine, the action is fine...none of it is stellar or amazing. I kinda dug a twist, but wasn't dazzled by it either. I think it's better than Thor: Dark World and both Iron Man sequels.

I was so disappointed with part 3. Mr. T was awful. As a kid, I loved it. I am gonna watch all of them. I started with that one because I used to love it. I watched Rocky 2 last night.

How could Mr T. not be a role model? Do you know how much he loves his Mother?

DancesWithWerewolves wrote: Green Book .... A


Green Book is an excellent road flick. I was hesitant of an A+ grade, so I'll settle for A for now. Viggo's my front runner for Best Actor so far this year, and I wouldn't be surprised if Ali takes the Supporting Actor Oscar again. Surprising that this was directed by 1/2 of the Dumb & Dumber team (Peter Farrelly).
Watched it again on Blu Ray. The grade feels about the same. I don't know, while I think it's great, there still feels like there's something missing from me giving it the "+".

I find it funny so many critics wanna claim this movie is told from the wrong perspective, or that Ali should've been up for Actor and not supporting, when it's written from Tony's family perspective, and Don is a catalyst in Tony becoming a better person. It's not a Don Shirley bio picture, and maybe there could be one made in the future, but it never intended to be one either, so it shouldn't be criticized for not being one. It's a good film, strongly acted, great message, the humor hits well without going into slapstick territory (though gets close when Tony eats a pizza). I could see this being in a regular holiday movie rotation for me.

Watched Shazam and Us.

Both were interesting to watch but both were odd at times for me. Tone was a bit odd. Still would recommend but it was not two perfect films.

Sicario: Day of the Soldado
Brolin and Del Toro are a pretty great combination. Awesome flick. It's been a while since I've seen the first one but I'm pretty sure I like this one more.

Totally fucking wicked. Marc Dacascos was excellent.
