Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Well, I wasn't too hot on the first one, so why did I think I would like the 2nd?  Actually I liked this one a touch better than the original, but still I didn't like it enough to give it a recommend.  It's fine, has some cool effects, one lol moment and the rest was just kinda...there.  I guess I'm not a fan but I'll watch the 3rd anyways. Pass.

Bohemian Rhapsody

I really enjoyed Bohemian Rhapsody, I've been a pretty big (not huge) fan of the band since the first time my brother played "Fat Bottom Girls" for me on a cassette.  The greatest hits tape was one of my most played as a young lad and I've continued to appreciate the band since.  I came out of the movie thinking "what an amazing story" and then I fact checked and realized how much was made up or fabricated for dramatic effect.   That shouldn't take away from the film, but it did, for me, a fan of the actual band.  It's still a good movie, great sights, sounds and story albeit made up.  Recommend.


Room

Just casually browsing Netflix one night and my wife mentioned this was one of her all time favorite books, so we decided to watch it, the plot was interesting enough.  Kidnapped and raped a woman raises a child in captivity.  The real struggle begins when she has to adapt to normal life again.  It was interesting, has some great performances (why can't Captain Marvel just beat up her captor ;) ).  I liked it.  Recommend.


Ant Man and The Wasp

I enjoyed the original Ant Man movie quite a bit, and while I wasn't exactly rushing to see this one, I was looking forward to it.  Consider me disappointed.  This one just didn't "hit" with me, it could be a matter of "time and place" but I kept hitting pause to see how much longer it was going to go.  I didn't find the humor all that interesting.  It has some cool effects and the story is interesting enough, but I didn't care for any of the supporting cast and just have a hard time recommending this one.  Pass.
