I couldn't find either of those movies, but I tried to watch Horrible Bosses 2 last night. I couldn't quite make it through the whole thing.
I saw Snatched: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/snatched_2017/
The critics at Rotten Tomatoes didn't like it. Neither did the real people. I wonder why I chuckled through it? There were moronic moments in this comedy I am glad I witnessed, but I don't think I'd want to see them again. Score: 7.5/10
I saw the 2008 comedy "Ghost Town" a couple nights ago: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1190970_ghost_town
In this case the Rotten Tomatoes critics where closer to the truth than the rest of us. I would give this a 10/10.
The movie is about an anti-social dentist who dies for a few minutes during a routine procedure. After that he can see dead people who need to find a way to communicate with the living so they can move on. It turns out he is now their medium against his will. He resists helping them but one particularly annoying ghost keeps bugging him to stop his widow from marrying someone else. She lives in the same building as the dentist and he has been particularly annoying to her. That doesn't stop him from falling in love with her himself, but the problem is he is anti-social. This is a comedy, so everything works out in the end. There is one line from this movie, which is not all that important, that I can't get out of my head. The dentist reminds a patient to floss by saying, "You only have to floss those you want to keep."
I saw the new The Mummy. Technically it is well done, but it was rather boring. Even Rotten Tomatoes didn't like it: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_mummy_2017/ Score 3/10
Now the 1999 movie with Brendan Fraser was far better: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1087270_mummy Score: 10/10
Night Moves by directed by Kelly Reichardt
She's and excellent independent filmmaker.
Just saw the movie The Dark Tower.
Very disappointing indeed.
After plunging through the reading of all those books, I'd have thought the movie would have done some justice...NOT...Grrr!
As far as the reading of the Dark Tower series, the first book was the best, in my humble opinion.
I saw the 2007 movie "License to Wed" last night: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1175072_license_to_wed It was pretty rotten. Perhaps 2/10 as the critics more or less gave it. The humor didn't make sense to me or rather it made too much sense to be humorous.
However, the 2003 "Anger Management" which was on a similar theme was quite enjoyable, as I remember, even though the critics thought this was rotten as well (but not so much): https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/112...ger_management It was at least funny.
The last movie I saw was Nut Job 2. It sucked. Big time.
I just checked Rotten Tomatoes and they agreed with you about Nut Job 2. I'll probably skip it.
I found two new comedies in the library, "The House" https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_house_2017 and "Killing Hasselhoff" https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/killing_hasselhoff
Regarding "The House", I could only stand about 15 minutes of it. Besides I had a plan B with the second movie. So I didn't finish it.
I almost stopped watching Killing Hasselhoff as well, but I was too tired to find the remote to turn if off. Anyway, the longer I watched it the more I liked it. Besides I didn't have a plan C. Score 7/10
Taxi Driver 10/10 classic, a study of loneliness. Even with a Hollywood ending I still stick with a 10/10
My daughter recommended Rick and Morty. This is an animated comedy series. You can find the episodes on YouTube. The best one I've seen so far is Season 1 Episode 4 about simulations. I am going to have to remember this if I ever get caught in a simulation. They are moronic but addicting.
I watched The Layover: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_layover/ It doesn't look good for this movie from either the critics or the people. However, I found it tediously amusing. I was able to get through the movie and enjoy parts of it.
The story is about two roommates who are trying to seduce a man who sits between them on the plane on their way to Fort Lauderdale to celebrate everything going wrong in their adult lives. The next thing that goes wrong in their lives is they are fighting over this stranger. There are some pretty good scenes especially when they try to do good and stop two marriages from happening. One was a definite oops and the other they didn't succeed in stopping, but considering everything it was all for the best. This is a comedy so everything sort of turns out OK in the end.
Score: 7/10
We watched The Big Sick: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_big_sick/ This got 98% positive ratings on Rotten Tomatoes! It is the story of Kumail Nanjiani, a Pakistani comedian, and how he met his wife, Emily.
The critics are right about this one. It deserves a score of 10/10. It was heartbreaking and in places so funny we laughed out loud.
Lost in Yonkers (1993): https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/lost_in_yonkers/
Very nice. Score: 10/10
The Truman show
9/10 (It gets higher each time I watch it)
