Sully
It's hard not to like a Tom Hanks film, even the "not so good" ones turn out to be pretty good. This is the case with Sully. I can't say it's one of his best films, although it truly is an amazing story in reality. The film focuses so much more on the heat he receives for his split second decision over the actual heroics itself. I guess that's one way of pushing a 10 minute event into a 90 minute film. It's worth it's 90 minute runtime. Recommend.

Steve Jobs
I was hoping for some Apple nostalgia, but by the time I jumped on, the movie was ending. The movie features three critical moments or launches in Steve Jobs career, the launch of the Mac, the launch of black cube "next" and the launch of the iMac. With each launch comes a family crisis where Steve must deal with personal demons amidst a product presentation. I'm curious about the historical accuracy of this because the timing of it all seems a little too convenient for a Hollywood story line. It's okay, but not great. Pass.

13 Reasons Why
Eh, I kind of enjoyed this, but it was far too "teen drama" for my liking. I can't honestly recommend it. I don't have much else to say about it. Pass.

Jurassic World 2
I wasn't a big fan of the first Jurassic World, so it's not like I rushed to the theater to see this, but when our softball game was cancelled due to rain, we suddenly found ourselves with a babysitter and nothing to do. Off to the movies. The movie is fine, maybe better than the first one. The first half is quite exciting, it's a disaster movie with dinosaurs! The second half takes place in small quarters, so the scenery is severely lacking. Like the first? See this. No? Pass.

Kevin James: Never Don't Give Up
So little time for TV lately I fired this up for something mindless to watch...it's pretty mindless. Stand up comedy can be quite offensive at times, this is not. It's a lot of jokes about food, parenthood, and family. He goes on a little tirade about food allergies that had me loling. Eh, I'd recommend it, it's okay.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
I wanted a nice light-hearted movie between my night shifts, it started out this way, but about 45 minutes in I was all "WTF!?!". This movie is pretty complex and requires some serious attention, but it's not overly hard to understand. You just don't want to miss anything. It's a tale of lost love and the memories created. In some ways it reminds me of The Discovery, but it's better. I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll just say I recommend.
