Mother. 8/10
Don't believe the rotten reviews. Mother is an art film, a good one that is knowingly pretentious, that was mismarketed as a horror film. I'm glad that audiences are loudly protesting against the flim (and that it's flopping) so that whoever distributed it will learn from this mistake. Mother took in eight million dollars off a 150 million budget (plus marketing).
The film is a multi-level allegory. The obvious one is that it plays as the first few books of The Bible plus Revelations but there are other surprises mixed it. There's a wicked sense of humor interwoven within the plot that people aren't talking about – the film is funny. It's also unnerving.
If you like art house cinema pick it up on DVD.

A lot of Specfic films are poorly advertised due to stereotyping.
One that jumps to mind - I know a bunch of people who went to see Arrival with certain expectations. (It's an alien invasion movie costarring Jeremy Renner.) It's about linguistics and the complexity of life.

You're right, but the misdirect for Mother was nearer to Lady On The Lake. Both were marketed as horror, so that fanbase went to see it. LOTL is kind of a fairy tale but Mother is an art film. Of course, people are going to be pissed and not understand what's going on.
Over here in Japan Wonder Woman opened a few weeks ago. It was mis-advertised as a love story. A love story! I was indignant (huge comic book fan here). They even tied Nozomi 48 (an all-girl pop sugar-sweet pop group) to the film and its marketing.
Wonder Woman bombed here.
Forget the patriarchy. Down with the marketing department!

And Edward Scissorhands was a legend rather than a fairytale. It didn't have a romantic/happy ending.

To be honest, I'm not really into car or car chasing movies, but I like the idea surrounded by this Baby driver. I like the story, almost original. And I was curious also about some big Oscar winner in the movie, Jamie Foxx and Kevin Spacey, they good with exceptional acting Kevin Spacey always do.
Its entertaining. The one that I don't like is the Buddy character at the last quarter of the movie. He was suddenly managed to escape and confront the Baby.
7/10

I saw Dunkirk tonight in IMAX 2D.
Honestly, I didn't enjoy it. The opening sequence was riveting – the use of music, masterful, but, I dunno, (spoilers) it took me a few minutes to realize that the three events were happening out of sequence in time. That and with the bland color palette, it was difficult to distinguish the main players (which might have been the point). There was a build up to that final moment yet I didn't even know the character's names.
It was a beautifully made film worth watching on the IMAX.

Enjoyed the film a lot. Would’ve given this a higher score…
! …but wasn’t fascinated by the ‘alien language=change in perception of time’ concept.

I was incredibly bored, so I decided to try to clear out a few movies from my Netflix queue. I watched The Veil(2016), a horror movie that seemed smart. It wasn't. I kept wanting to turn it off, but I thought it would get better. After all, it had a tiny bit of star power (Lily Rabe, Thomas Jane, and Jessica Alba), so it couldn't be THAT bad, could it??? So I forced myself to overcome my miniscule attention span and watch it to the very end.
Fuck, I wasn't I hadn't.
By the end of the film, I began to massively reconsider how I make use of time. It was a total life moment. Then I started going through all the movies on my queue, reading descriptions and watching trailers, just to weed out some of the more obvious shit. Then, in spite of my desperate need to work on my attention span, I instituted a policy of ALWAYS pausing the film after fifteen minutes in order to determine if I should continue.

I thought it was about an actual baby driving! There was Boss Baby recently, you know. :blond:

Something like the following?
final time being nice -
I just saw Kingsmen 2: The Golden Circle. I don't think a simple rating will do it justice.
Violence: lots of violence which is very graphic. A bit of a turn-off.
Acting: Taran Egerton, Halle Berry, and Tatum Channing were charming and interesting in their roles. Julianne Moore was excellent. Sir Elton John was stunning playing himself. Edward Holcroft is going to be an actor to watch. Colin Firth and Jeff Bridges were too restrained.
Plot: The subplots were more interesting then the main plot. A lot of things just did not make sense in the movie.Overall: The fight scenes were wonderfully choreographed but there were a few too many and most of them went on a bit too long.
Final call: They are planning one more sequel to end the Kingsmen series. They are thinking of making a Statesmen series. I would watch them.

Annabelle: Creation.

Finally watched this prequel and has enough of scare factor to make you through till the end. 6.5/10

I saw some movies during the weekend.
1. War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) 8/10
This franchise always gave a drama-thrill to me. I love it since the first, Rise, Dawn and now War. The drama between the Apes and the human, in some points, made me rethink about BEING human. Caesar always good, I love the character playing with out emotions. A perfect end.//2. Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) 8/10 6/10
I don't know if its just me but I was a sleep during this movie. Its just too long in my opinion with no actual achievement with his battle against the Vulture. The Marvel is smart though, put an a very early age of Spider-Man so it could be many many many sequels. -
7/10
Another 7. I enjoyed it.
PS. If you haven’t caught up yet, I’m incapable of doing a proper review.

Passengers 8/10

Blade Runner 2049: 10/10

I'm quite excited for this movie. Haven't seen the 1982(?) one, so I have to watch that first (just to cement the film's world, :)).
