Mwa ha ha ha ha ha! Hey man I thought a "Zombie Car" was right up yer alley???? Seriously.... whadja expect from a '70's car movie... Brilliance?I watched The Car (1977) last weekend. I hadn't seen it before, and I never want to see it again.
No, I knew it wasn't going to be good, but I really didn't expect it to be as bad as it was. I'd guess the lion's share of the budget went to George Barris for building the cars.Mwa ha ha ha ha ha!

Thunderball, again
The Sum of All Fears. I'm not a big fan of Ben Affleck, but I still like this movie.
Captain America: Civil War. Very, very entertaining, but don't believe the hype that it's The Best Superhero Film Yet. It has pacing and story problems, and I don't think its "real world problem" aspect works as well here as it did in CA: The Winter Solider. With that minor complaint, it does a fantastic job of servicing its huge cast: it is really more of an Avengers film than a Captain America film. It brings the wit and fun you expect from Marvel, and elegantly introduces the Black Panther and new Spider-Man. There's plenty of great action... but it's even more impressive in how well it handles the motivations and dialog across its many characters.
Considering its significant plot similarities to the recent Batman V Superman (which I didn't outright hate, but found very disappointing) - heroes fighting each other over fears of godlike beings operating without government oversight (with a villain in the shadows pulling the strings to increase the conflict) - it is VASTLY more successful. If you've seen both films, you should DEFINITELY read this article:

The Hustler (1961). Brilliant.
Maybe this should be on the Agent Carter thread, but how can 30-something Sharon Carter be 90-something Peggy's niece? Great-grandniece would be more like it. (And whose child is she supposed to be, since per the TV series Peggy's only male sibling died back in WWII?!?)
While I'm happy that they finally revealed Agent 13 to be Sharon Carter - which all Cap readers knew was coming - this is a bit, um, sloppy.
Watching The Parent Trap (1998 version). I've lost track of how many times I've watched it - I enjoy it every time!
