Red Sparrow looks interesting, impressive cast. From the book, first of a trilogy.

I forgot she was in Scott Pilgrim and the remake of The Thing. One of those movies would be the first time I'd seen her. I don't remember anything about SP really other than I thought I was probably too old to enjoy it properly when I saw it. I kind of hated The Thing and don't remember anything about it either. The Kurt Russel version is one of my all time favorite movies, so I don't think they had a chance of impressing me much with another remake. I think I would have enjoyed it more if they didn't CG over all the practical effects that were already completed.
Did you ever hear the story about that? I wonder if we'll ever get a cut of the movie that removes the CG effects and shows the practical effects. I'd rewatch it then, and I probably would be a lot more impressed with it.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

Yes, methinks you're right....Disenchanted.....a must see...Amy Adams, Shiny!
I am not familiar with Black Mirror, although I have heard good things about it.
Thanks for the heads up.

Methinks you overlooked Disenchanted.
I agree with hoping Will won't suck.
I had not yet looked up Ready Player One, but it looks good. More of McKensie Grace. You must be familiar with Hannah, from Black Mirror? And she's in Tomb Raider as well.

Wide range would be an understatement. Early on she was John McClanes daughter in Die Hard 4, memorable in Death Proof, SuperHero in Sky High, then in Scott Pilgrim, and remake of The Thing. You likely missed Braindead last year on CBS.
I don't recall being disappointed with her performances yet, and she is always a draw for me.
In 2018 she has All About Nina. Not much info, but also has Melonie Diaz so I plan to see it.
You're talking about Mary Elizabeth Winstead, my not-so-secret crush. Whatever it is, I'm there. My heart skips a beat for her. Scott Pilgrim!!!

It's an absolute must see. I guaranty that there is no possible way that you will not like it.
Even the "mediocre" ones are pretty damn good, and the ones that nail it are damn near perfection in my book. Different people seem to gravitate toward different episodes, so it's funny that ones that I put at the bottom of my list are on the top of other people's list.
I haven't seen the 4th season yet, but I'd say that 2 of the 7 that Netflix put out last year are probably better than any Hollywood movie that came out in 2016.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

I have not seen it, and don't really recall Hannah from her other works I have seen.

The Kurt Russel remake of The Thing was the last film I saw before shipping off to Boot Camp, and also one of the first I saw after Boot Camp. I am not sure if I would have watched the 2011 remake if she wasn't in it. I was satisfied with her performance, but the film overall seemed old hat.
MEW is filming The Parts You Lose this month, unknown release date.
If you haven't seen Death Proof, her performance there really impressed me. Another Kurt Russell film. You heard that film spawned all of the Machete films?
She was adorable in Sky High, although I somehow missed that in cinema. Another Kurt Russell film.
I don't think I have seen Make It Happen.
I just noticed she is no longer married.

I try to follow Leonor Varela, and Alpha does sound interesting. Release 14 Sep, I'll need to check out unless news changes.
I'm not normally a fan of remakes with only females, but the cast looks impressive for Ocean's 8, on 8 June. Sarah Paulson has billing on the poster along with Bullock (Sarah & Sandra also together in Bird Box) and others, but without poster billing are Olivia Munn, Jamie King, Katie Holmes, Dakota Fanning, plus the Kardashian clan. Don't think I've seen Kendall Jenner on film before. Looks like a busy year for Munn - maybe these are after her breakup from Aaron Rodgers.

I think you mentioned Death Proof before. That went over my head. I only saw it years ago when it came out as Grindhouse. IMDB separates them now too... did they get separate releases at a later date then?
I remember loving Death Proof when I saw it with my brother and both of us laughing our ass off at all the intentional cheesiness like the ridiculous jump cuts, and that part at the end of the movie where they mercilessly beat the shit out of him. I really don't remember anything about the movie other than it was a total against type character for Russel. I didn't even know that she was in that one. That was likely the first time I ever saw her.
Given the subject matter of Death Proof, I was going to ask you how old MEW was, but I just looked it up on IMDB. She's a lot older than I thought she was. Good genes. Didn't they all play high schoolers in Scott Pilgrim lol.

Since I heard that the trailer for Super Troopers 2 finally dropped after the film has been talked about for a decade now, I'm going to reluctantly put that on my list of two movies I'll probably see in 2018. I know I'm going to be disappointed. :(
