I do have a couple of updates...
New Years' Eve- DVD/NF- Was the wife's pick for the evening. Never saw it or Valentine's Day. For a chick flick kinda movie, it wasn't half bad. Not one I'd own.
Lone Survivor- DVD/NF- I'm a huge Marcus Luttrell supporter. I heard about him on a hunting show he did. Researched him and bought the book a couple years back. Read the book in a couple of days. I was geeked when I heard they were doing a movie. Via his FB I saw where he consulted on the movie. Great book and good movie. I think the actors portrayed the actual servicemen in the best way they could. Of course there were a couple of Hollywood type scenes. But that's why it was based on a true story. If you haven't seen it, I encourage you to. I will be buying this one before I read Luttrell's book "Service".
The Internship- HBO or Showtime- It was a free weekend so I recorded this movie. I've seen it before, but it was definitely better the 2nd time. There's no elaborate plot. Just a few good laughs at the exploits of Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles- Amazon Prime- Oh how many years has it been since I last watched this classic, and how many lines did I still recall.. Still holds up a wee bit. And with the reboot coming, it was worth watching again.
TMNT II: Secret of the Ooze- BR- So I enjoyed my trip down memory lane with the first one, I bought all 3 on BR. I didn't quote lines like out of the first one, but there were things I noticed that I didn't as a kid. Take out the scene with Vanilla Ice, and it holds up. Go ninja go ninja go.
Up on deck:
A Good Day to Die Hard
Valentine's Day
Monument Men
Chasing Mavericks
W.
Lincoln (for a second time)
Munich
