#5 of 10: "Frankenstein". Grade: B I'm conflicted by movies adapted from famous source material. If I've already encountered the novel/play/previous movie/comic book/etc, should I hold it against a film that tacks too close to the original source or strays too far from it? I generally try to...

I'm glad the boos were directed at the right target and not the athletes. It's not their fault that they live in a shithole country.

I'm rooting for Drake Maye AND the Seahawks. It's too bad they're not sharing the same uniform.

Metacritic and IMDB audience scores are bad, while Rotten Tomatoes is at 99%. Bots okay, I guess.

What a goddamn idiot!

Yep, like "Sound of Freedom", I suspect there are plenty of empty auditoriums out there that are "sold out".

#4 of 10: "Train Dreams". Grade: A- As a theater owner, I'm not a fan of Netflix. I've always worried that the biggest threat to theatrical exhibition was the studios' insatiable desire to "sell their product" directly to the "end user". The middleman (the movie theater) must be destroyed...

Gotta love the first Metacritic user reviews: 1) "A heart wrenching documentary about a trophy wife and her journey to the White House. After first meeting her husband, Donald Trump, on Jeffery Epstein's Lolita Express, Melania went on to become the worst first lady is US history." 2) "****...
