Thought he was great in suicide squad. Some nice comedy relief from how dry he played that character.

I'm both excited and apprehensive.

Sopranos is one of my all time favorite dramas, but the track record on revivals of long completed series is a bit iffy.

Michael Gandolfini will either absolutely nail his role to a T, or he'll fall far short of his father.

Just watched the Untold: malice in the palace and it was pretty good. Those fans are fucking stupid, i mean, dude runs up to Ron Artest looking to square up and is saying he's hurt and needs xrays? Yea no shit. Players have a right to defend themselves for sure, but going up into the stands because someone threw a drink on you? Come on. Any fan that throws something at a player should either 1) be banned for life or 2) go square for two minutes with said player. just because you buy a ticket doesnt give you the right to do whatever

Last 2 AHS episodes were pretty good. I may be a fan of the shortened seasons...

Definitely not. You can see definitely see an evolution from jazz to blues to old rock. Not to mention the drum kit didn't exist as an instrument prior to jazz musicians coming up with it.

Recently watched Rust on Showtime. New series. First episode was pretty good.

Watched an old movie from 1990 Cadilac Man. It has a pretty well recognizable cast notably Robin Williams and Tim Robbins among many others. Overall for even 1990 the movie had really lame bad 80's look and acting to it. Its worth a watch if you want to laugh at how bad movies used to be. Hard to imagine this was a major hollywood movie but apparently it was. Never even heard of it before two days ago when I saw it on cable.

watched four episodes of Click Bait. Overall the cast sucks, the last minute of each episode does awesome job of making you want to continue watching it. Overall its been pretty good.

Vacation Friends was hilarious. John Cena was hilarious.

Did anyone see the new Candyman? With a newborn I've been restricted from going to the movies until probably November so I didn't get the chance, I don't think anyone here reviewed it that I saw. It's on demand today so I'm probably going to rent it tonight.

I haven't but the reviews are very positive. It's a little pricey for me, going to wait

I watched it. I am not a tough critic but I thought it was really good. I have no complaints. Wish I could have seen it in theater.

I finished click bait. I’ll say the show did great job of keeping my interest. The ending was bit of let down but with a good twist.

Started watch The handmaids tale (wife’s idea). It’s definitely different. Didn’t understand it at first but so far it’s not bad
