I haven't seen those... I like Neeson... so would you say you recommend those other movies. I tend to shy away from drama movies... but it's not a rule, & I can get into the better of them. I can't stand drama for the sake of drama... it's got to have a great story & purpose for me to put myself through those emotions. I'm also the same with action just for the sake of action. It's gotta fit the story & be interesting. A car chase or gun fight doesn't do it for me without a good film backing it up. Anywayz... that's probably why I hadn't gotten around to those movies... but if you recommend them, I'll check em out.

There was some good action in Commuter... it wasn't "non-stop" action... but the tension was non-stop. Without spoiling it... I'll say I was probably riding a 7 or so throughout the movie... & dropped to 5.5 while sitting there at the end thinking of wayz I would've done it differently. Still liked it though. It's worth seeing.
Unknown and Non-Stop are action thrillers, not straight up dramas. I would recommend them if you're in the mood for forgettable entertaining mystery thrillers.



 
Annihilation is written and directed by the same guy who made Ex Machina. If you haven't seen Ex Machina then you need to do that.

I assume you are not aware since you say "it's a 99% chance it will be shit and generic."
That is actually high up on my list to see.

I've read it is gonna be really hard to transfer the book onto the screen but atleast it has the right guy on the job from what i've heard.

When I say generic I mean like it ends up they go in, weird looking monsters chase them, one by one they die etc.

But we will see.
 
Three Billboards. Amazing.

Top, top film.

9/10.
 
Weekend Box Office:

JUMANJI Reigns Over Martin Luther King Weekend with $35.4 Million

JUMANJI2-810x405.jpg


Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle maintained the top spot at the domestic box office for the second weekend in a row, corralling an estimated $35.4 million as the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend unfolded.

Steven Spielberg’s The Post posted solid numbers as it expanded nationwide into 2,819 theaters, while three other new nationwide openings had a tougher time making a mark.

And although Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which ranked fifth for the four-day weekend, is starting to wind down — it posted $15.3 million domestically for the holiday as it took another $19 million from 53 territories — with a cumulative worldwide haul of $1.269 billion, it has now surpassed both Disney’s own Beauty and the Beast ($1.264 billion) and Universal’s Fate of the Furious ($1.236 billion) to become the top global release of 2017 and the 10th top global release of all time.

Sony’s Jumanji, the comedy-adventure directed by Jake Kasdan and starring Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan as the adult avatars of a magical game, took in $28.2 million for the three days before climbing to $35.4 million for the four-day holiday frame, which would bring its domestic cume to $291.6 million as it closes in on the $300 million mark.

Jumanji also was the weekend's top international grosser, grossing $81 million from 94 territories, as its worldwide gross climbed to nearly $675 million.

The Post, which recounts how Washington Post publisher Katharine Graham (Meryl Streep) and editor Ben Bradlee (Tom Hanks) joined forces to defy the government and publish the Pentagon Papers, grossed $19.3 million for the three days as it headed to a four-day gross of an estimated $23.4 million. Since Fox opened the film on Dec. 22 in just a handful of theaters, the $50 million pic, from Amblin Entertainment and Participant Media, had collected $4.2 million in its limited release. The politically charged, adult-skewing movie received an A CinemaScore.

Of the weekend’s three new wide releases, Lionsgate's The Commuter showed the most traction, with a third-place showing for the frame as it took in $13.7 million for the three days and a four-day total of $16.4 million. Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra (The Shallows), the PG-13-rated action movie stars Liam Neeson as a businessman who gets caught up in a frenzied criminal conspiracy when he meets a stranger (Vera Farmiga) on a train. It received a B CinemaScore from an audience that was 54 percent male and 70 percent age 30 or older.

Given the fact that it was met with an A CinemaScore and has received enthusiastic reviews, resulting in a 100 percent Rotten Tomatoes rating, Paddington 2, which had to compete with Jumanji for the family crowd, got off to a disappointing start for Warner Bros. Ranking sixth for the holiday weekend, it attracted just $10.9 million for the three days, then edging up to $15 million for the four days. The film — which Warners bought from the beleaguered Weinstein Co. and producer StudioCanal — again centers on the plucky Peruvian bear (voiced by Ben Whishaw) as he and the Brown family team to unmask a thief. The animated/live-action sequel, based on Michael Bond's children’s book series that launched in 1958, also stars Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Jim Broadbent, Peter Capaldi, Hugh Grant and Brendan Gleeson.

Sony’s Proud Mary, starring Taraji P. Henson as an assassin whose life is altered when she becomes involved with a young boy, debuted in eighth place as it took in $12 million for the four days after pulling in $9.9 million over the three days. Directed by Babak Najafi (London Has Fallen), the R-rated action pic was greeted with a B-plus CinemaScore as it bowed in 2,125 locations.

Box Office Report: 'Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle' Reigns Over MLK Weekend With $35.4 Million
 
Paddington 2 was a very enjoyable movie. Probably the best film out right now. Sadly most sherdoggers won't see it because it is considered a kid's film.

I saw the first Paddington and it was surprisingly good. Will watch the sequel. They say it's one of those rare films where the sequel exceeds the first movie which was also good.

I liked the first one a lot too but I found the villain to be the weak link. This movie is the opposite, I thought Hugh Grant killed it.

Honestly this is a film for everyone. It has a lot of heart and there are certain things in it that adults can appreciate. Stop it with the tough guy act.

@Slobodan Check out the trailer for Nic Cage's Mom and Dad ^. It seems to be received positively with a 74% RT score.
 
I guess the most interesting movies are the crazy Cage and badass cop Gerard. (dislike that they use the cent rapper)
 
12 strong is definitely on the list
 
Looking forward to Womb Raider, The Predator, Dead Pool 2, and Black Panther.
 
hahaha that's exactly what I was thinking. I thought maybe it was a foreign movie at first. Very rare for me to recognize zero names from a cast list.
I only recognize Megalyn Echikunwoke's name because she played Vixen in the CW Arrowverse. But her best work was in Don Cheadle's House of Lies because of... you know.
