Tim's Review

This is another great sci-fi style movie with robots and everything. A different kind of movie, I hate to say, but in a good way.

Gregg's Review

Signourney Weaver is one of my favorites in Alien, and this being a science fiction film like Alien, I felt it was sort of the flip side of Alien. Kind of the darker side of Alien.

Gregg's Review

If you're a Bondhead you'll watch anything Pierce Brosnan does, and of course I loved it because of that

Tim's Review

I didn't get a chance to see this movie because of the travel we've been doing

The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Director: John Madden

Year: 2015     Run Time: 122 min

As the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel has only a single remaining vacancy - posing a rooming predicament for two fresh arrivals - Sonny pursues his expansionist dream of opening a second hotel.

Tim's Review

This is a rom-com, old person, chick flick kind of movie with a lot of old people in it.

5 Bags of Popcorn, 5 Bags of Soda

Gregg's Review

What I thought was interesting about this is that with some of the classic movies when they make sequels like your Rocky's or your Jaws you get Rocky 2, Jaws 2, they just put a number after it. And instead they actually incoporated the fact that it was sequel INTO the title.
