I just saw Logan today. It was okay but I didn't like it very much. Then again, I never like when they focus on just one character's life story rather than the entire group (X-Men)

I rate it 7 out of 10 simply because I liked the kickbutt little girl in the movie.

The last movie that I saw was The Assailant. This movie is awesome. It is a fighter,hero, legend. It tells of Manoel's life. His entire life has been an uphill battle. He has no where to turn. Then he is responsible ued by a martial arts master. He is trained to defy gravity. When his master is assassinated in cold blood. Manoel must face his master's assailant head on in a final fight to the death. After planting his seed. Manoel dies. It is a must see.

Hidden Figures was the latest movie I saw. I was blown away by historical genius that I wasn't informed of growing up in school. The space program is probably one of if not the most important achievements in history for America. And to think it might have never happened without these amazing women is mind blowing. Wow.

The last movie that I saw was 'What Dreams May Come' starring Robin Williams. I'd have to give this movie a 3/5 rating. I felt the whole idea of the whole story was very unique, but some of the performances were very underwhelming, and some of the cinematography was very tacky. If you're looking for a thought provoking movie, definitely watch this movie, but I suggest you go into it not expecting much from it.

I think the last movie I saw was Girl on the Train. It was pretty good! I was confused on why they changed the location to Manhattan instead of London, but the main character still had a British accent. Other than that, I thought it did a pretty good job of telling the story, especially since the book is told through the eyes of an alcoholic mostly. Overall, I was pleased.

Moana might be my new Disney favorite. Definitely a 4 out of 4 stars.
Life without a good book is something MrsCatInTheHat cannot imagine.

Beauty and Beast, the live action version that just came out. It was better than I thought it was going to be, and I thinkthe plotting was better then the original.

I'd give it a 8.5 out of 10.

The Blue Gardenia. A pretty well done noir film. I give it a 7 out of 10.

It's a Great Feeling from 1949 starring Doris Day. It had tons of cameos by actors and actresses at the time. A decent comedy overall. 6 out of 10.

The last movie I saw was Kong Skull Island, and I would give it a 4 out of 5. I was entertained but I don't think it's a movie I would buy and watch repeatedly. There was lots of action, the acting was fine, but I think they tried so had to make Kong look realistic that they slacked on some of the other creatures. There were a couple times that the cgi was so bad it almost ruined the scene.

I can't remember the last movie that I saw in theaters, but it must have been years ago. I know that sounds bad, but I don't have a lot of time to see a movie in theaters and ticket prices have become expensive. The last movie that I saw on DVD was Loving. It was very good and the aging makeup done on Richard Loving was superb. I rate this movie a 8 out 10, but it is not for everyone.
