Just saw The Post. Outstanding, although I'm biased. I would pay to watch a two-hour infomercial on toenail fungus ointment if Meryl Streep was in it.

I rented a movie from Netflix, but did not notice that it was a foreign (Danish) film.

Luck was with me and it was outstanding! About a piece of history I knew nothing about.

I highly recommend 'Land of Mine'.

A good recent release that the Mrs. and I both enjoyed is "Molly's Game". But only if you're into poker, gambling, illegal activity, and sports (cannot imagine anyone here is into those things).

Plus she is pretty easy on the eyes.

One of my classmates in college dated Meryl Streep. I never noticed her or her feet.

Geez guys, I was just trying to make clear how much I like her. The rest was just a footnote.

Much respect for her as an actress. Only modern actress that can compare t other greats. I.E. Betty Davis, Joan Crawford, Ida Lupino etc.

But what really impressed me was her love for John Cazale (Fredo, Godfather)
If you've never heard the story of John I suggest you find it. Al Pacino called him the greatest actor he ever knew. He passed away of cancer and Meryl stood by him to the very end. He was the love of her life. Mucho respect for her as a person after I read the story.

Atomic Blonde - pretty good with a GREAT 1989-ish soundtrack!

GREAT Movie - Only the Brave

Default On The Basis of Sex

I just saw On The Basis of Sex.
Do not get carried away guys, it is a movie about Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her historic legal work.
I really liked this film.

I suggest Memento. It's a super film that really sucks you in scene to scene. Anyone else ever seen it?

Default A Star is Born

I just saw "A Star is Born". It is a wonderful movie, and Lady Gaga is awesome. My wife wanted to see it and I wasn't all that thrilled about going, but it was really good.
