This evening:

Watched Ad Astra last night.

It was a movie I had not seen before.

Watched Hustlers last evening.

Minus looking at J-Lo I give it a -4 stars. Absolutely terrible.

I almost rented that movie. I took a nap, though, and was much more highly entertained by doing so.

You should rewatch "took a nap" before seeing Ad Astra on HBO.

If you ever watched Solaris (George Clooney), you would also appreciate (i.e. long for) a good nap.

On the other hand, Moon (Sam Rockwell) starts off seeming like it will be a dull, art-house “ ‘ “sci-fi” ‘ “ (1) film, but partway through there is a twist that makes it a pretty good flick.

I saw it last year on a long flight. I wish I’d given you a heads up on it.

The special effects are wonderful. The cinematography is great.

I don’t know how the script started, but somewhere along the line someone decided only Brad Pitt could have an intelligent line or show any sign of more than marginal competence. The only point of other characters is to set up how superior Brad Pitt’s character is.

It’s still better than the DaVinci Code.

I have also seen Aquaman. I’m pretty sure Willem Dafoe only studied his lines the morning before the scene after getting handed an envelope full of cash. (Which I think Tommy Lee Jones also did in Ad Astra).

LOL! I'm not even in to space movies, but it was on, so I watched it.

If I'm gonna watch a Sam Rockwell space movie, it's probably Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.

Aquaman was just stiff across the board. Momoa was OK and is serviceable for the team movies, but there was a lot of phoning it in for that movie.

I just watched The Highwaymen on Netflix and I thought it was fantastic. For those of you that haven't seen it, it's about the two former Texas Rangers who chased down Bonnie and Clyde.

Solaris wasn’t a bad movie, it was just a sloooow movie.

You really have to be up for a plot that mostly evolves via dialogue, and you definitely don’t want to watch it while drinking your whiskey clear out of a college bell (as I sorta did).

Came here to post the same. Favorite scene was Damon driving with Henry Ford II riding shotgun.

I liked the whole “Jon Behrenthal as Lee Iacocca” thing. I kept wanting him to flip out and go all “Punisher” on the Ford VP who was constantly being such a d*ck.

For anyone wanting to watch the dumbest movie that I’ve seen in all my years, feel free to watch Doctor Sleep. It’s the supposed new sequel to The Shining. We laughed out loud throughout the movie at the ridiculousness of it all. What an epic fail.
