Very pleasantly surprised by this given some of the negative opinions it tends to get.

Passengers (Re-watch via Blu Ray)
5/5
Today is the one year anniversary of this being in theaters last year. I saw it 9 times in theaters. and about 10 other times at home. For a total of nearly 20 times. I love this movie and I don't care. It asks the viewer a lot of questions about what would you do given this situation. What would you do?

Classic Jen. Why I love ya and always will.

I need to get around to that. Bought it at WM from their $7.88 bin a good while ago.

Scrooged (1988)

3.5/5

I liked this a bit better on my second viewing. It's a very creative way to show the "A Christmas Carol" story. I wish Bobcat's character would have had more screen time.

I've seen a lot of harsh reviews for this that I just don't get. If someone doesn't care for it, fine. But some of these reviews are SO negative that I have to think some people with into this wanting to hate it, whether it be due to a bias against director David Ayer, writer Max Landis, or maybe Will Smith, or just the perceived stigma of being a made-for-Netflix movie as opposed to a theatrical release.
Honestly, I enjoyed this. Is it a perfect five-star film? Of course not. But I enjoyed it.

Double feature day today of two new releases.

Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle (First Time Viewing)
4.5/5

I had a lot of fun with this movie. I thought both the comedy and action were great in this. Though there might be some concern for little ones or parents at a few weeks in this movie. While nothing bad. Certainly not for a young kid. But the movie is PG-13. My only complain it be felt a bit long. And like 10 minutes or so could have been cut out. Otherwise it's a blast.

The Greatest Showman (First Time Viewing)
4.5/5

I enjoyed this movie way more than I thought I would. I guess movies set in the entertainment business gets to me. Some songs had me in tears. Like the duet with Zac and Zendaya. I will get the soundtrack. Shame it's doing to poorly at box office. As Pitch Perfect 3 is eating up that crowd for this. I guess they want name brand over quality.

Colossal (2016)

1/2

It's hard to describe this movie without giving too much away but it's certainly out there. Anne Hathaway gives a superb performance and in fact all the actors acquitted themselves quite well in this strange little movie. I'm not sure I liked it but I certainly found it interesting. It deserves another watch in order to make up my mind.
