Saw Baby Driver-good movie with good music and some great car scenes, but my expectations were really high after the reviews, and they were not totally met.

I basically want to watch this movie just for the cars scenes, the rest is a bonus.

Power Rangers

Loved it, Dolby Atmos track was very good as well. Brought me back to my childhood. I also thought Elizabeth Banks did a great job as Rita. That bully in the movie sure reminded me of Ed Sheeran lol.

The Edge of Seventeen

Personally, I thought it was great. Some characters were a bit cookie-cutter, but also structured perfectly in this real-world narrative to still be very believable and not too mundane. Ultimately, I think I could have told you the entire story within the first ten minutes, but that's also akin to me watching the Warriors win the NBA Finals: ultimately it didn't make the outcome any worse of a watch. Great casting as well; everybody fit just right. Hailee Steinfeld has risen in my book.

The only drawback I'd mention is something that I think is unavoidable, but much like the film Trainwreck, sometimes it's hard to root for a protagonist with such a flawed personality. However, unlike Trainwreck, Hailee Steinfeld's character was sympathetic whereas Amy Schumer's character was simply toxic, and I think that's important enough and is what separates the two. Her background really completes her, and as a teacher I know people just like her. They are on a beaten path and they just need the right people in life to correct them. I feel like Trainwreck was already a derailment, hah.

Not that those two films are the same, though. This one falls more in with the likes of Juno. I recommend this, but as it doesn't really break any new mold you don't have to go out of your way for it either.

I'll be seeing this tonight and then immediately afterwards will attempt all the stunts in my own WRX.

All the cars leaving the theater after this film were squealing tires and flooring the gas.

I loved this. The soundtrack and utilization of the music was perfect and the action scenes were fantastic. The story itself is fairly straight-forward, but it finds itself in compelling territory by the middle of the movie. The cast play their parts perfectly and the dialogue is written with a sense of rhythm that feels lyrical.

I haven't seen a movie in awhile where I immediately wanted to go back in the theater and re-watch it. As a guy that loves driving with my music this definitely fired on all cylinders for me.

As much as I love Edgar's other films Baby Driver may very well be my favorite now.

Re: What movies have you seen recently?

They should just cancel all the editing Oscars and give them to Baby Driver now. The gunshots synced up to musical cues were unreal. The opening when he's going to get coffee and then the first escape, might be my favorite opening 20 minutes ever. I had the biggest smile on my face the whole time.

That opening was fantastic. It might have supplanted Drive's opening.

The soundtrack is straight fire. I've been listening to it this morning. Each song is a body shaker.

All the way until I got to the last line I thought you were talking about Cars 3, bahaha.

Moana. Severely over rated movie. Not even in the top 10 for animated movies for me.

Re: What movies have you seen recently?

Captain America: Civil War Of course a great re-watch. Some around here talking about Marvel movies being formulaic, but I don't see it. This brought a pretty interesting switch. The ability for Marvel to balance well a large cast of characters within a 2+ hour time frame was nothing short of spectacular.

And my favorite little Easter egg ..... the mention of the word "Timely".

Re: What movies have you seen recently?

Saw King Arthur - Legend of the Sword....Not very good imo. Excalibur set the standard to me for King Arthur films..Some poor casting decisions..

Pearl Harbor

Man I haven't seen this movie in years and I forgot how much I loved it. I know some may not like the love story aspect but I'm okay with it. Good god I had forgotten how long and epic the actual attack was. I was on the edge of my seat like I didn't know what was gonna happen. Anyways just a solid flick imo.

Baby Driver

Thought this was a pretty solid film. The way they incorporate the music with the movie is down right amazing. I mean gun shots to the beat of the music??? That was great. Nothing crazy about the story but the way it was portrayed was awesome. Oh and the car scenes were really well done. Fast and the Furious style but much less over the top and more realistic. Solid acting as well. Just a good film.

Just saw it as well. I have nothing much more to add. It wasn't the greatest film of the year, but the editing for it was unique and kept the pace moving steadily.

I haven't ever seen Lily James before, but she looks like a direct blend of two of my female friends (who are both cute like she is). I loved the chemistry between the two, even if the relationship got a little forced.
