Watched "the Godfather" the other day. I think I might like Part II better than the first. Nobody likes III.

My partner and I like to watch that on Christmas Eve.

We watched this last night, and it was a lot of fun.

Doctor Strange (2016)

This was a very dark thriller-western, but I thought it was pretty good. 3.5/5 stars
 
we watched "Elle"today.

Hmmm. what to say? It was a typical French movie, in that it was over two hours and basically didn't tell any narrative. The story started, stuff happened, and the story continued, and then ended. Huh? I feel like I need my two + hours back. This was a slice of life film I just didn't care about that slice of life nor was I pulled into it.

Meh. Well done for what it was. Isabelle Huppert is great at playing a mentally deranged person. But....not for me. Shallowgal would love it though.
 
Spiderman: Homecoming

If you like this sort of movie, you will definitely like this one. If you don't like this sort of movie, you should probably save your money and go see something else.

I liked everything about it, but didn't love it. I'm giving this one a smidge under four stars.
 
Hell Or High Water (2016)

Jeff Bridges, Chris Pine and Ben Foster. Per IMDb: "A divorced father and his ex-con older brother resort to a desperate scheme in order to save their family's ranch in West Texas."

This weekend, Mrs. Ojai and I decided to catch up on last year's Best Picture Oscar nominees. This one is watchable but we can't imagine how it got nominated for an Oscar. Basically a remake of Fargo without the dark humor.
