Big Sky is good. I've watched since the beginning. Season 3 premiered last night but it needs to be watched from the beginning. Based on the CJ Box books.

Drive - Surprising. Very good, enjoyed it significantly. Ryan is probably my favorite actor, and this felt like it was right in his wheelhouse. What surprised me was that it was more gory than I expected, but very well done and felt appropriately used.
The Gray Man - Mediocre? Surprisingly poorly acted from Ryan (for him), and the rest of the cast bordered on bad. Felt like something I'd seen about a dozen times. Stopped half way through.
The Social Dilemma - Intriguing, but I didn't like the dramatizations at all and thought they actually detracted from the message. Made it all feel sensationalized, which is too bad because generally speaking I don't think it was or is.
Licorice Pizza - Boring. Felt like it should be right up my alley, but did not hit with me at all. Got incredibly board and turned it off 45 minutes in.
Frida - Fascinating. Salma Hayek was brilliant. I didn't know anything about Frida Kahlo before watching - not sure if that was a good or bad thing.
The Imitation Game - Conflicting. This was 'the Alan Turing movie.' Inspiring, but also heartbreaking. Horrible to see how he was treated on numerous levels.

Yup, I have a hard time w/ anything like this. I can watch gore, horror or psychological stuff all day but tell me it's based on true events and for some reason, I can't do it. No need to relive this stuff.

Sorry. Just teasing. A wildly disparate set of mostly old movies.
If Drive surprised you you need to step up your gatekeeping. It's 93% on RT and is probably the biggest Arthouse Action movie in the last 12 years. It's all over best of lists, etc.

Oh man, that trailer has started the hype train with me. I need to temper my expectations because it will be impossible to live up to my love of the games. But that trailer looked good.

I heard a lot of the families are upset as it reopens bad memories. Can't blame them. I saw episode one and will continue to watch as I'm all about crime/murder stories.
I also started The Patient on FXX. It's a great show 5 episodes in.

Meh. I'm tired of Jackman as Wolverine. Ready to move on to the MCU version of X-men. This just seems like it will delay it more.
