Nope will star Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer as ranch owners in a desolate part of inland California who discover what may be extraterrestrial life and are determined to get proof. The movie was written and directed by Jordan Peele, and the co-stars include Steven Yeun, Michael Wincott, and Brandon Perea.

I'll be watching this one on Firestick.

What could possibly go wrong?

Flaming Lizards

Drove about 2 blocks and couldn't see. Pulled the Volvo into Post Office and slept for a few hours

Went to see Jurassic Park today. My review: some references to the old movies and a continuation of the story. However, it’s gotten a bit more towards the Fast & Furious style (i.e. it’s gotten a little stupid and lame). The movie was definitely too long and I don’t get Jeff Goldblum’s role; he annoys me, especially in this movie. The overall movie was enjoyable but started going downhill about 40% through. They could have cut out 30 minutes or so and have things be more fluid. I think that if you’re a fan of the series and don’t mind some of the absurdity (I know I know it’s about dinosaurs), then you’ll enjoy it. Otherwise, you might leave the theaters feeling the same way I do: was enjoyable but wouldn’t tell everyone to see it. I give it a C.

Gonna pass - but if they had played this more realistically - this could have been brilliant - similar to Whiplash - but with an over the top chef.

The eruopean cut is probably the one to watch, imo.

One of my all time favs, it was called "The Professional" when released. Gary Oldham is one of the all time great bad guys, and the cinematography and score are outstanding.

Yeah, it's a good one.

First time I saw it was in the theater. Was a double feature. The other movie was Interview with the Vampire. I like that as well but like The Professional more.

Actually both great movies, but "The Professional" is better

I really liked "The Professional". Portman was so young. I still have it on DVD.

She did a really good job in that. Very impressive for a young kid.

Just finished this:

I recommend it... if you have Amazon Prime. Because then it's free (sort of).
