I really enjoyed Megan Leavey. Had very little to go on before seeing it.

But The Mummy wasn't disappointing, although I had lower expectations. I noticed the end credits score was the Theme from Conspiracy Theory, which may have been derivative of something like Can't Take My Eyes Off of You.

I failed but intended to mention that this was an Orci, Kurtzman production, which I have not seen Tom Cruise in before. And Kurtzman directed.

I think I'm done for the rest of the year, until the next Star Wars.

Saw Wonder Woman Saturday, and while not horrible...neither of us LIKED it either.
HATED the part where she was trying to convince Chris Pine to lay down with her on the boat, liked the part where she took out the sniper. That end battle was just... lame. Oh, stand here and wait while I go get my sword.

Haven't really enjoyed anything this year. I too am beyond sick with all the sequels to the nth degree. Remakes, as well. If it doesn't pass 85% positive on reviews, or isn't a cheap seat movie, I'm not going.

Here is a list for next year.

I'm sure Hubby will see Deadpool 2 and the kid wants to see Incredibles 2
and we will see Infinity Wars when they are all out, but it's still a short list.

I heard that the execs tried to cut the sniper scene.

An exclusive group of policymakers, philanthropists and famous people (hey isn’t that Bradley Cooper?) gathered specifically to toast the institute’s partnership with the Library of Congress to preserve America’s cinematic history by safely storing more than 37,000 motion pictures.

Is saving the movies anything like saving the world? One ex-president said yes.
