(No I don't have a hockey problem...)
Watched Split the other night. Pretty disturbing movie. Not sure how I feel about it.
What's Split all about?
Fate of the Furious? FANTASTIC!!!
Anything good to watch on Netflix? I haven't watched a movie in a while, been binge watching Brooklyn 99 for some reason.
Watched Furious 7 on the weekend (not the new one out now) - liked it. Good popcorn flick. Interesting how they CGI'd Paul Walker into multiple scenes. Apparently his brothers were used after he passed for filming as they share similar statures. The ending may have even brought a tiny tear to me eye.
Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.
Yeah Professor X is pretty damn good in it.
I've been watching a bunch of war movies lately so here's a few of the best ones on Netflix if you're into the genre.

Dr Strange - had low expectations here, lots of superhero movies coming out that were not that good. But this holds together very well. A 7/10
Arrival - interesting and smart, but basically a long drawn out drama with the sci-fi in the background. In my opinion a good ending, so I give it a 6.5/10
Gold - love this matthew mcconaughey movie. Based on the Bre-X mining scam in the late 90s. Very, very true how junior mining companies get their money. Give it an 8.5/10 - but i am a mining guy so I actually live this and am biased here...
Passengers - OK sci-fi flick, but I would consider it more of a chick/date flick if you take. Yes, chick/date sci-fi !! 6/10
The Autopsy of Jane Doe - nice little intense slow building thriller. Just 2 guys in a room doing an autopsy. Sounds lame, however it turns out to be a pretty decent movie. 7.5/10
