New Release Tuesday

The Greatest Showman- Celebrates the birth of show business and tells of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation.  Yeah, it is a musical but Wolverine is in it so I will give it a spin.  Everyone else in the house caught this at the theater and liked it a lot so we will watch this during the weekend. 


Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay- Task Force X targets a powerful mystical object that they will risk their lives to steal.  I enjoy most of the WB animated movies especially if they are bat related but I will give this Squad a spin.  Scored the steelbook at Target.

Phantom Thread- Set in 1950's London, Reynolds Woodcock is a renowned dressmaker whose fastidious life is disrupted by a young, strong-willed woman, Alma, who becomes his muse and lover.  I must admit I have not seen much of PTA’s work but I loved Boogie Nights and There Will be Blood.  I have read this is the scariest movie released last year so now I am intrigued.  Is Daniel Day Lewis really retired?




Molly’s Game- The true story of Molly Bloom, an Olympic-class skier who ran the world's most exclusive high-stakes poker game and became an FBI target.  This is a good-looking drama and Chastain is solid in anything she does.  I would like to watch this just to see how they portray some of the candy ass actors she held games for, yep looking at you Toby Maguire. 

Braven- A logger defends his family from a group of dangerous drug runners.  I have been a Momoa fan since his Conan movie.  That movie was unnecessary and ok but he was very good in it and his casting as Aquaman was a nice move and it certainly made the stump of all Super Friends jokes a badass. He was one of the great parts of JL and I look forward to this and his solo Aquaman flick. 





All the Money in the World- The story of the kidnapping of 16-year-old Jean Paul Getty III and the desperate attempt by his devoted mother to convince his billionaire grandfather Jean Paul Getty to pay the ransom.  A movie about a billionaire dirt bag played by a well known dirt bag in Hollywood that gets replaced by the great Christopher Plummer so now it is worth watching.
