^^Yeah. seriously I was a little unprepared for such an impactful ending. It just didn't seem as though it was going to really have one.

I crossed another film off the bucket list of films that other people are angry I haven't seen yet last night. I kinda figured I'd love this one and I did. Even though I'm not huge on war films, this was one of the visually stunning films I've ever seen.

Saw The Muppet Movie at my local indie theatre today.

Re-watched "Inherent Vice" for the 6th time in two years.

Never ceases to surprise, entertain and mind-boggle me.

Watched Vengeance for the second time. When it first came out I saw it in the theater and even the worker selling me the ticket was clueless about the movie. I put it on for my gf to watch and she was instantly judging it purely from the title. I went into it blind when I saw it in the theater with no trailers seen and it ended being a decent movie even though in the first few mins of the movie you can feel the pretentiousness of B J Novaks writing floating from the screen and slapping you in your face.

I could've done without Dennis Hopper doing his usual thing

Missing

A story about a girl trying to locate her missing mother. Exclusively shown on a computer screen jumping back and forth between messages, videos, security cameras, facetime calls, internet posts, etc. Could easily be gimmicky, but it was handled with enough care to pull it off. They take a very Hitchcock meets telanovela approach with their direct cinematographic homages, tight pacing, and suspenseful twists and turns. With the form it's also a surprisingly good in theatres, I almost wonder which direction of effect watching it on my computer would bring. It's brought down quite a bit by the teenagery plot (which I guess makes sense for a film with a teenage protagonist), garbage stock music, and general Hallmark/Lifetime film vibes, but overall I thought it was a super fun watch. It also put Storma Reid on my radar, I think she'll wind up in some amazing roles.

Spoiler for .:

6.5/10

When I saw that trailer I feel like I know the ending already. I'm still willing to give it a watch though to see if it plays out like I think it does.

I'd say it's a mixed bag of predictable and unpredictable parts.
