I've been clobbered at work, so I've been putting blogging on that back burner. That said, here are a few things I've seen over last several weeks.
Ex Machina
Big
It’s funny how time changes one’s
perspective. The first time I saw Big, I was 20. I sympathized with the Tom Hanks (CDNW) character. The last time, I was 47. I sympathized with his mother, traumatized
over the loss of her missing son.
And so it goes.
Deadpool
Deadpool won me over in the opening
credits, when it named the writers as “The Real Heroes” and the director as
“Some Overpaid Jerk.” The film
irreverently kept the laughs coming for 89 more minutes after that, and I thoroughly
enjoyed it.
Spectre
It has been a month or so since I saw Spectre. I barely remember it.
Ex Machina
Ex Machina is one of the best films of its
year. It does everything good
science fiction should do, and it provides rich fodder for conversation. I want to see it again.
Zootopia
I laughed all the way through Zootopia. Then again, I’m an easy laugh. Thing is, my kids loved it, too. So I’m calling it a winner.
