I'm not fond of Diaz either. Tom is moderately obnoxious, but completely watchable. That Diaz woman grates on my nerves.
Cameron's role (also with Tom) in Vanilla Sky was basically pitch-perfect for her.
Pretty cool movie. Kinda meanders at the end but cool live-action adaptation of it. I like that is darker than the animated one. More truer to its roots. I didn't have to check the credits to recognize the voices of Bill Murray and Christopher Walken right away. Always enjoyed Jon Favreau when he starred in Swingers (1996) and he did a pretty good job directing this live-action adaptation. Bill Murray's Baloo, Ben Kingsley's Bagheera, and Lupita Nyong'o's Raksha really stood out for me. Seeing King Louie that first time is cool until he starts talking with a Queens accent even though this is based in India. I enjoy Walken, but his voice was out of my place here.
As an adolescent before getting into Beavis & Butthead, I did watch TaleSpin when I was like 9. Baloo was an aviator and he and Louie were homeboys. Shere Khan was a villain in a suit. The Disney Afternoon was a cool time to watch TV after finishing my classes. That or playing my NES. Was really into Gummi Bears and DuckTales though. Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers and TaleSpin were a notch below them for me. Darkwing Duck was kinda bleh and I stopped watching by Goof Troop. I stopped watching most animated TV shows until Family Guy and Futurama which I got DVD's for them. I stopped watching The Simpsons after 1992 when I was so into them when they were still on The Tracy Ulman show. Never got into South Park.
Will rewatch The Jungle Book (2016) now. I really like how atmospheric it is. I didn't know Kaa was Scarlett Johansson until after the credits. I enjoyed when we first see King Louie as if he was King Kong but an orangutan. Gets me excited for Skull Island since Kong will be much bigger so he can fight Godzilla after it. I love both Godzilla and King Kong. Godzilla is cooler for me because I am more into dinosaurs than primates, has atomic breath, and the sound he makes is cool. I prefer his action figures too although the Legendary version of him doesn't seem as attractive like in Godzilla 2000. But King Kong has the better stories and just minds his own business unlike the people who arrive on his island. Since I love bananas, born Year of the Monkey, enjoyed the rebooted Planet of the Apes films, I still need to support our ancestors, right evolutionists?
I enjoy the fight scenes between Shere Khan v whoever and the action sequences in Louie's temple. I didn't expect much from it when I saw the trailer, but it surprised me. I enjoy this film more than Avatar (2009) for sure. Baloo and Bagheera fending off monkeys, watching King Louie hunt down Mowgli, and Shere Khan fighting the other animals is worth watching over and over. Bill Murray in almost every movie he is in is always worth watching even if just once.
Salvage Star Wars? What from being the most successful franchise ever?Rogue One Dec 2016- Can they salvage Star Wars?? I hope so.
There's a new weapon being tested, with a shot of the Death Star. Should I be worried?
I don't think they are too worried.
Should be good anyway.

That's my Episode 7 appraisal, which if you put any value on creativeness or originality was a sorry failure. Despite financial success, wholesale recycling of episodes IV-VI showed an alarming lack of vision. See my signature.
Sausage party was a riot. Layers of jokes, interesting message. Wild food orgy at the end. Take your significant other to see it with you. Lots of laughs.
Saw it a couple weeks ago and it's a good movie. I like the two best killers. Not into the others because Mitsuko and Kazuo played it the way it was supposed to for survival.
Mitsuko Souma
Kazuo Kiriyama
Chiaki Kuriyama is great in Kill Bill Vol. 1 but I wasn't into her character in this one. Ko Shibasaki (Mitsuko) is quite a hottie. She was about 18-19 when it was filmed pretending she is a 15-year old 9th grader. If you see her photos, she can look different in each one. I loved her last thought in it. Won't spoil the quote. I had the most sympathy for her. Liked the ending song. Liked the baddies the most.
I think it all depends on what mood you're in, since they're entirely different movies from each other. Aliens is a straight up action flick, with a few tense moments acting as a nod to the original's slower burning horror thriller.
Though of the bunch, Aliens will probably hold a special place in my heart, since it was the first rated R movie I was allowed to watch back when I was 7.

Finally getting around to watching an indie movie I thought I would watch last week. Too hot to sleep so....
It's a Film Movement release, For a Woman (in French, has subtitles). I had liked the actor Benoit Magimel in The Well Digger's Daughter, so decided to see him in this one. Usually I stream their films but saw this when I was renewing my sub and decided to grab the DVD with a promo discoumt. The film is a drama about characters searching to resolve mysteries and missing information about family members caught up in the sweeping away of ties and knowledge during the postscripts of the Holocaust.

Does anyone know the name of an upcoming or recently released British film about the special boat service. I tried looking around for it. It's a relatively big production and I was reading the wiki but computer crashed weeks ago.
I recently thought to look for movies to watch or see in future and I can't remember the name.

My daughter has Asperges, and I'd never heard of this film. I'll be sure to check it out at some point.
Adam (2009). Great cast, interesting storyline that doesn't follow formula.
It really reminded me of a former co-worker who's wife had a methodology of getting him to calm down when things didn't go according to plan. The movie is bittersweet.
