"Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner was the first sort of grown-up movie that I remember seeing with my parents, and if I’m not mistaken, I think it was at a drive-in theater, which half your audience doesn’t even know what that is. And that was like an odd movie for the drive-in."

Movie Rating
Infidel is a boring mess that never grips the viewer and is barely interesting enough to listen to as background while I ate my snack in the theater. Plagued by multiple issues, the film was uninspiring, dull, and lacked any kind of heart. All I wanted was for Jim Caviezel's face to be in focus.

It Happened One Night (1934)

"I love It Happened One Night, which was… I’m trying to remember what year that was; was it 1929? But it was just this great, fantastic kind of screwball comedy, like one of the first real romantic comedies, and I think it was also like the first film to win all of the major academy awards. I’m a big Capra fan; I ove Frank Capra’s movies. That film really resonated with me when I saw it. Any chance I ever have to see that is great. I actually saw it in a movie theater once, and it was such a great experience. To see classic movies like that in a movie theater, it’s an opportunity that you rarely have. I really love that."

"I saw this movie at the Academy of Music in Northampton, Massachusetts, when I was thirteen. It was my introduction to Chekhov, and it changed my life. I think I went into the theater in large part because of this movie . . . I didn’t see much theater as a kid, and this was my first clue as to what it could be like. They really nailed what’s so great about Chekhov, and it made total sense to a thirteen-year-old girl in Massachusetts. Then all the Chekhov I saw after that as a young adult that was so terrible and haughty and faux-British . . . I’m just really grateful that this was my first encounter with his work. Wally Shawn’s performance is incredible, too."

Get Out...of the theater.
I was obviously not offered the psychotropic drugs other were when I saw this movie. How it excelled critically is as perplexing as the unsolved mystery of the Bermuda triangle. Every corner of the movie was unpolished and predictable, but what can you expect from a first time director.

Boring and slow
This iteration of Robin Hood brings nothing new or better to the table. The movie moves at a snails pace and and even the action scenes were stale and predictable. If you really like Taron Egerton, skip the theater and watch it at home.

Sicario: Day of the Soldado was muy bueno. Taylor Sheridan has written another amazing script and great follow up to the first Sicario movie. Thankfully I didn't have to illegally cross any borders to get to the theater and see this, but it's totally worth the risk of doing so if that's what you gotta do; it's that good.
