Both of these are correct. The food is always regrettable, but all of those sorts of chains have 2 for 1 drinks all the time. They are very light on the pour but it still works out. Ant-Man is probably one of the better movies you could see in the suburbs as well.
I'm a big David Fincher fan but just watched Curious Case of Benjamin Button for the first time tonight. I liked it, sort of a darker Forrest Gump. But I realized one of Fincher's biggest selling points for me with his recent movies is the Trent Reznor/Atticus Ross score. I know it wouldn't have fit into the period of Button, but I've been spoiled with how great the scores to his last 3 films have been.
Recent theater trips: The Meddler was a pretty charming movie. Not trying to be anything too profound, but the actors are pretty much a joy to watch and there was just enough uniqueness to keep it from seeming like every other movie of its ilk. If you're put off by things potentially being "cheesy", stay away, but otherwise it's kind of a bummer how under the radar it's flying. Money Monster was...okay. It actually was pleasantly reminiscent of mid-budget thrillers from the 90s. Like, Richard Donner could have made it with Mel Gibson or something. But it had just about nothing to say. It was a lot like Sicario in that the whole message seems to be "everything's broken and you can't fix it", which...why make a movie at that point. It seemed like the social relevance was more of a costume to make it seem more weighty than it is. But there are some unexpected twists and turns and it remains a consistently intriguing thriller, if an empty one. Jack O'Connell is the show, acting-wise. It's a big over-the-top accent/character type that he makes feel lived-in.
The Nice Guys Went into this expecting and action/drama with some comedy sprinkled in.... I honestly can't remember the last time I've laughed so hard in a theater. So fucking good.
Breaking Bad is a really good show that has a lot of flaws that were not recognized by people who had an unrefined taste in television shows.
It is weird that she is remembered as the problem with that movie. Every character doing a 180 from their arc at the end of the second film is far more of an issue with some bad acting. Blame her father for casting her, not a young person taking an opportunity. It is a lot like people blaming the two Anakin Skywalkers for a trilogy of awful films.
i think it's easier to hate a character than a director, people respond more directly and identifiably to a character (and by extension their actor) so most complaints go that direction. not that it makes sense for them to, though.
I had just watched something yesterday that criticized her again for the film, as if the film was some sort of masterpiece undermined by her. It is important to remember that every actor fluctuates in ability based on the filmmaker. Even legendary actors like Streep and DeNiro have been awful in awful films, while extremely limited performers like Sandler and Tom Cruise have done well with the right material.
Finally got around to watching 2003's Monster. solid 8/10. Charlize Theron is unbelievable in that movie. and to think it came out the same year as the Italian Job.
ET- 9/10 Balled my eyes out at the end. Movie hits me right in the feels. One of the best movies of all time.
