Good to see someone is still going to movies. A real report; thanks Scoots.

We watched The Mule last night. Clint Eastwood was amazing and has been one of my favorite actors for a long time. Spending the night with those 2 gorgeous girls had me rolling on the floor.

I love to see a good movie at the theater. Combine that with a big bucket of popcorn and a coke and I am in hog heaven. We always try to go on the cheap days but if it costs more other times and I want to see the movie screw the price, I'm going! We have done this several times on road trips.

We were looking for something to do Thursday night in Grand Rapids and thought about going to a movie. It would have been the first one since seeing Rush back in 2013. There wasn't anything playing that interested us.

I recently watched Avatar and Catch Me If You Can, on Netfilx DVDs at home. I had seen them before but I was much more impressed with Avatar this time around. My TV is state of the art and it was beautiful to see the movie on.

I'm flying to California on Wednesday night and taking Bohemian Rhapsody with me for Ricky to see. I watched it in the theater with my son and daughter-in-law and am looking forward to seeing it again, and showing it to Ricky. Too bad my Cali TV is ancient. It came with the house in 2008.

I just added it to the top of my Netflix DVD list. Than you.

I really liked Catch Me If You Can. I like a lot of Tom Hanks' "smaller" movies, like Catch Me, Terminal, and Road to Perdition.

I used to own a DVD copy of Catch Me. I still own the DVD case for it but the DVD itself is apparently still inside a DVD player which left my possession a few years ago. I keep the copy to remind me to stream the movie sometime.

All The Presidents Men-I stumbled across this last night on Netflix. I had seen it years ago and loved it but wanted to see it again. It's still a very powerful telling of the story and the characters are still perfectly cast. This time around the parallels to what's going on in Washington today was very frightening. Well worth watching again.

An aside, it was very nostalgic to see dial telephones and phone booths. I wonder if young people watch this movie if they'll know what they're looking at. We still have one dial phone. We can use it to talk but we can't use it to make calls.

Prohibition, A Ken Burns Documentary-I still maintain that there is no such thing as a bad Ken Burns documentary. I watch this last night on Netflix and was transfixed. I meant to only watch one episode, but I couldn't tear myself away from the TV. Well worth watching as is every Ken Burns documentary.
