Black Klansman (Its on HBO)
Pretty good movie
I enjoyed it a lot
Even though it was up for Best Picture, its not best picture material
The ending was pretty powerful though with the Charlottesville march, Trump and Heather Heyer

Godzilla: King of the Monsters

Oh boy. The best thing I can say about this is that it's not boring.

But it is dumb, dumb, DUMB. Feels like it was written by a three year old.

The CGI is nothing special, and several references to "Kong" and "Skull Island" make it clear that this is just a setup for next years King Kong vs. Godzilla movie.

So you can name a movie with
Godzilla in the title that's not
the stupidist thing you've ever
seen?

One of these days they are going to make a great Godzilla movie. Maybe not in my lifetime.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

The 2014 Godzilla was quite good. It's no "What Women Want," but few movies can achieve that level of greatness...

Godzilla wasn't in it, any movie
is better than a Godzilla movie.
