What was the last movie you watched?

Doctor strange.

My mom and I just finished watching Miracle of the White Stallions. It was very good. :)

The Kenneth More/Jayne Mansfield comedy western, "The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw"

Actually funny, sweet and charming.

My family and I just watched The Secret Life of Pets. We loved it!

Turner and Hooch. I decided I'm going to try to make a new Thanksgiving tradition out of watching at least one Tom Hanks movie, because you know, T. Hanks Giving ^note the other idea I used was listening to a bunch of ska for "skanksgiving". Oh, I also watched the Bob's Burgers episode "An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal" like I did last year, but that doesn't have a pun to it. This ended up being the one I went for because I own the DVD and have never watched it, and because I watched the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show earlier and decided I wanted to see something else canine-related. Overall a pretty average eighties action comedy - nothing uproariously funny, but a few surprisingly sad or heartwarming moments, and basically if you like Tom Hanks' comedic roles and/or have ever owned a dog you'll probably get a little enjoyment out of it.

Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them. It. Was. AMAZING. Loved every minute of it and cannot wait to see more.

I just saw that one myself. You're right; it is good. :)

The Adam Sandler/Burt Reynolds prison guards versus convicts American Football-based film, "The Longest Yard". Actually really good. Certainly up there with the best Sandler films because he allows the rest of the ensemble cast to shine as much as he does.

As you can probably tell from my new avatar, I just watched The Jungle Book (2016). I loved it, and it's definitely given me a better opinion of remakes in general.

I liked it too, and say what you want, but for me, it's an improvement on the original.

Last Sunday, I saw Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and I never regretted that decision.

It's just like a Science Fiction movie, with robots and alien invaders.

I'm only 15 minutes into it and already praying that this is a tv series.

Moana. To quote the title character, "[it's] so amaziiiiinggg!"

School of Rock, with Jack Black and a whole ton of excellent young child stars. It's Black's best movie, beyond question.

I saw Moana earlier. It's fantastically amazing!

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation I have to watch it this time of year because it is my favorite Christmas movie.

Don't Breathe. I don't really like horror movies, but this one was okay.

Das Boot, for the first time ever.

Goddamn, why didn't I watch this earlier?

I watched Goosebumps last night. It was great, even though I've never read the books, so I didn't get some of the references.

The last movie I saw is also the next movie I will watch, Pittsburgh is Home: The Story of the Pittsburgh Penguins, I know it is the next movie because I'm DVRing it tomorrow.

It is narrated by Joe Manganiello and covers the history of the Pittsburgh Penguins for the past 50 years.

Bad Santa 2. This is getting pretty terrible reviews but I thought it was okay - not quite as good as the first one, but a few pretty funny bits.

A Christmas Horror Story: Despite the title, this is actually an Anthology Film... Though, similarly to a horror anthology based around a different holiday, all of the stories are taking place at the same time in a shared universe. Actually, this does something I've never seen done in an anthology, where instead of telling four complete stories in a row, it cuts between all four stories throughout the whole movie until each one is concluded - the advantage to this approach is that you get more of a sense that they're all happening within the same time frame, and it helps make the twist to one of the stories more jarring ^note hint: One of the stories feels very obviously removed in tone and setting from the rest of the movie - it isn't. On the other hand, the disadvantage of this approach is that if you like one of the segments much less than all the others, you can't wait it out or fast forward - maybe a good DVD special feature would be the ability to just watch all the scenes from one particular story in order. Oh, also, between its use in the opening credits and Melvins recently doing a cover version, I've decided "Carol Of The Bells" is one of the most unintentionally creepy Christmas standards there is - both versions kind of emphasize how surprisingly close to Ominous Latin Chanting it is.

I just finished watching both movies of Hulk Vs. On the whole, I think I prefer Hulk vs. Thor.

I watched Underworld: Blood Wars a few hours ago. I already struggle to remember most of it, which is really all you need to know.

A Far Off Place. It was pretty good.

Attack of the Clones, I'm starting a Star Wars marathon; basically just in time for Rogue One. Would have preferred to have skipped watching the prequels though.
