Just got done watching home front.  Very good movie, though i would have liked to have seen Statham arrest the sheriff for turning a blind eye for as long as he did.

Just watched The Passion of the Christ for the first time last night. I thought it wasn't half bad.

Got a couple of reviews for my last two movies watched....

Captain America: The Winter Soldier
http://www.paulsvalleydailydemocrat.com/moviereviews/x1535563808/-CA-Winter-Soldier-a-salute-above-the-average-sequel

Rio 2
http://www.paulsvalleydailydemocrat.com/moviereviews/x493464277/-Rio-2-average-effort-but-still-a-family-win

I watched Captain America: The Winter Soldier last night, and I agree with your review  O0

Also picked up Gravity on Blue Ray the other day, so I watched that again and some of the special features.

Saw out of the furnace and Grudge match.  Out of the furnace was decent, 2 out of 5 stars.  But man was it slow and the ending just was to quick imo.
Grudge match was a lot better, a solid 4 of 5 stars to me.

Really good movie example of the 80's teen comedy. We all watched License to Drive this week for the movie club, and it was just...awful.

It's puzzling that thirty years ago there was this titanic genre massive enough to contain so much range, but it's nonexistent now.

I watched about 10 minutes of Down Periscope last night before I remembered how much I hate Roy Schneider.

That guy is not funny.  He's more like anti-funny: he's so unfunny that he destroys any humor that comes near him.

Top Secret! is teen comedy? More like spoof comedy, IMHO.

I don't care much for him, either, but that movie is worth it just for Kelsey Grammer's dead-pan comedic timing. 

Watched the first half of the second GI Joe movie.  I guess I will finish it later but I wasn't very enthusiastic about the first half.

Normally i would agree.  How ever he was decent in Down periscope.  As was the rest of the cast.

I caught Wing Commander on TV and decided to give the movie a chance. My resolve lasted for about a five minutes.

I feel the same way about Chevy Chase and Will Ferrell. Fine for sketch comedy, but gawdawful in movies.  :P

Will Ferrell is like some other comedy actors these days.   They only seem to go in for how much crastness they can bring.. (such as the hangover trilogy, end of the world)..  But i did like him in "stranger than fiction" and bewitched.

I do not like Will Ferrell nothing he has been in did I find entertaining. However for Chevy Chase his best movie was Caddy Shack.

I thought Rodney Dangerfield was much funnier than Chevy Chase in Caddyshack.

Dangerfield was probably the best in that movie but Chase was good that is why I said that's his best movie

CBGB (is that right?) a good movie about the music scene in NY in the 70s. Rickman was awesome as always.

Showing the kids MST3K a little at a time. We got The Blood Waters of DR Z last night. A great episode. Next up is Prince of Space.

I think he was also the protagonist for The Prophecy, not that the movie really needed one.

I might have been thinking Real Genius, which is a bit more in that idiom.

I have been surprised at how much I like Ferrell's work in a few things.  Elf, Stranger than Fiction and Blades of Glory I rather enjoyed.  The list I have avoided or disliked is rather larger, though.
