Taken 3. Not good. Too slow, and way too many plot holes and unanswered questions.
I don't mind plot holes sometimes, but when you're consciously thinking of them during the movie, then there's a problem.
I'd give it 3 out of 10.

Concussion is a must for sports fans. It shows the power of the NFL but a sign of things to come.
Martian 8 G-forces out of 10. silly opening, silly ending, but I like the middle portion. Damon was alright, music was upbeat but the other actors were a little too cardboard-ish for me. Did he just pull 12Gs in a small rocket covered in saran wrap? oy vey
Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.
Revenant - 7/10 if you're a nature buff and like lots of grunting, moaning and groaning, you'll like this one. Couple of intense scenes mostly in first hour then petered out for me....bear scene was great and intense...ended as we all knew it would.....2h 25 mins...no pee breaks until after hour one...
Hateful 8 - 7/10 - slow burn, lots of dialogue to weed through...I'd describe it as slightly strange and bloody...not as enjoyable as other QT films...over 2.5 hours...can't say i enjoyed any of the characters nor did I care what would happen to them....

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
These are the last few I've watched:
1) Focus
7/10: Margot Robbie and Will Smith click well together in this sexy pick-pocket/con-artist thriller. I had heard very little about this movie prior to seeing it a couple of weeks ago. Some cool twists with decent acting but nothing to write home about.
2) 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi
8.5/10: Saw this one yesterday night at the movies. Many critics will slam this movie because it's a Michael Bay movie and/or claim that the facts are inaccurate (movie is based on a true stroy), but I suggest you go in with a clear mind (to be fair, I am a fan of Bay's movies, but I did not expect much going into it). Good action, decent acting and a tense story tell the real-life story of 6 contract soldiers who risked their lives to protect a U.S. ambassador and an American diplomatic compound in Libya during the September 2012 terrorist attacks.
I actually really enjoyed it! It did not give me as big of a rush as Black Hawk Down did (one of my favorite war movies), but it was pretty intense nonetheless.
3) Dumb and Dumber To
2.5/10: Should have stuck to the original... Watching this one on TV a few weeks back was a big mistake (to be fair, I had been warned previously)! Cheezy lines, with recycled gags (I understand some of them were inside jokes from the first one, but cheezy nonetheless).
