Watched "Ant-Man and The Wasp" again last night in preparation of finally watching "Quantamania" tonight
Last movie you saw?

Yeah, the sad thing is, according to Wikipedia it was actually one of the top grossing movies of the year, but I'm assuming because of the budget, that wasn't enough for it to be a success.
Just rewatched Mission Impossible - Rouge Nation. Still great.
Just have Fallout to go and then Dead Reckoning is released in a few weeks.

The Flash.
I watched Ant-Man "Quantamania" last night and enjoyed it. It didn't have the same feel of the previous two movies, which I loved, but it had some of it (family ties), and I loved the weird and wild word of the Quantum Realm. That said, hovering over the whole movie as I watched was the looming criminal charges (or whatever comes of it) over Majors, would put a damper on my enthusiasm. I was looking forward to him as Kang and now that doesn't seem likely. That said, the very concept of Variants gives Feige and crew ample opportunity to swap him out for another actor if they must.
Fiend Without A Face. Sadly, I fell asleep for part of it.
Saw M:I 7 tonight. This has become the most consistently good franchise. Atwell's a great addition (and, I suspect, set-up as a new lead should Cruise retire from the role of Ethan Hunt).
I was thinking the same thing about Hayley Atwell's character when I saw it this morning.
Overall I really enjoyed it, but I did have one issue and it was the same one I had with Fallout, there was one car chase that was starting to feel a little to long. I was starting to wish they would move on already just before it ended.

"A League of Their Own."
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One
Wow.
And also - how much do you normally hear folks get critical of the crux of the third act being in the promotion for a film? Here, 90% of the promotion has been THE hinge on which the third act turns and it being so prominently advertised actually accentuates the viewing experience. Because - once Tom's on the bike it feels like an eternity of tension before he gets to the top of the hill. And everything which is happening to everyone else in the meantime just builds and builds and builds the tension so, so well. You're almost willing him to get on with it so the tension can break! It wouldn't work so well if they hadn't said "look at this cliff jump" so much - and then they really make you wait for it. In the best way. It is brilliantly deft.
Also, is it just me or, in this film are there more sections, minute-for-minute which hark back to the series where it is more focused on head to heads rather than shooty shooty drivey drivey bang bang jump sequences? I'm not sure I remember there being this many in any of the others. At least not quite so well done.

Just finished watching Pompeii on Hulu a little while ago, and I really enjoyed it. I'll admit, it was a little campy at times, but I like campy.
A few weeks ago debated between watching this and the Dwayne Johnson Hercules movie and went with Hercules. I had gone with Hercules, because at the time I was in the mood for a big monsters and magic fantasy movie, and Hercules had better reviews, but I ended up being not liking Hercules that much, I definitely liked Pompeii a lot more.

The Festival of Troubadors on Netflix. Since it was too hot to do anything else.
Black Adam.
Got back from Oppenheimer about a hour ago. Best movie of the year so far. It will win many Oscars.
Town Without Pity (1961)
Starring Kirk Douglas.
"Four American soldiers stationed near a German village face death in the rape of a local girl, and are defended by outside counsel Major Steve Garrett."
Kind of similar to 'Paths of Glory' in that Kirk Douglas is defending soldiers in a court room.
It's good but not brilliant for a few reasons, worth a watch at the very least.
