Got roped into seeing Goodbye Christopher Robin (double-header weekend with Ragnarok in the opener). Interesting movie. Domhnall Gleeson must be the busiest guy in the business right now. It's a great story and it's told quite well, but don't go to the theater thinking you'll be seeing the feel-good movie of the year because it involves Winnie the Pooh. Kelly McDonald is great in her role and she's a great actress, but I simply cannot separate her from her character in Boardwalk Empire, who I thought was the most annoying character in television history.
I think Domnhall Gleeson is well on his way to perhaps becoming another Karl Urban in the regard of "I know that guy, what's his name" May never be a household name, but a damn fine actor.

Justice League was just ok. DC trying to be too much like Marvel and not succeeding.
Logan Lucky was pretty good. I wouldn't gush over it because that style of film is rarely worth gushing over. But the cast was great the plot worked out great and like the Oceans films everything kind of "worked" but not quite. It's quotable, mostly memorable, and enjoyable. It won't be a film that's worth seeing over and over again but it makes for a good popcorn flick. Kind of like Baby Driver.

Just watched Wind River. Excellent. Great cast, good dialogue, no BS. It's a murder mystery set near an Indian reservation in Wyoming. Something about the sublime beauty of snow in the wilderness that makes a perfect background for a murder story.

Just saw Murder on the Orient.
Enjoyed the remake. Great cast. Branagh’s moustache is pretty distracting but other than that a great flick.

Just got out of Lady Bird. Fantastic coming of age movie that does a wonderful job of showing the struggles and pains of a middle class family navigating the waters of struggle. Main cast was superb.

I've seen a few good ones lately. Saw Darkest Hour tonight at a free AARP screening. Wanna fill a theater? Tell a bunch of 50-plussers about free tickets. Good movie. Oldman was awesome. I liked Dunkirk better. Mrs. 50# liked this one more.
Other recent viewings include: Ladybird. Great movie. Certain Oscar nomination for Laurie Metcalf and probably Saoirse Ronan in their respective acting categories and Gerwig for writing and directing. Roman J. Israel, Esq. was also pretty good. Story wasn't that great, but Denzel did his usual solid work.
This Disney purchase of Fox properties has me really amped to see the X-Men/Fantastic Four added to the MCU.
