Once I get my monthly movie pass next Friday I shall be seeing at least 5 or 6 movies at the cinema next weekend and then at least one a day until I have caught up (which includes La La Land, Get Out, Lego Batman, John Wick 2 if it's still screening, Logan etc). No matter how I'm feeling after each movie, I shall power through, because that's what the hardcore faithful who love movies have to do!!   More power to ya, then, Knox.  Movies and lightsabers, my two favorite hobbies.  I hope you get to catch them all. I'm hoping I can still get in to see La La Land before it leaves. |

The last time I did four movies in one day was the summer of 96 (Fargo, the Rock, From Dusk til Dawn & Empire Records). Thanks to streaming I won't be too upset if I miss a couple cos I will see them once they are available online. |

Spent the morning in bed watching Robin Hood, the one with Russell Crowe.

Any good? How does it compare to the Kevin Costner/Alan Rickman classic? |

One a scale of 1 to 5, I'd give it a solid 3, 3.5. It looks nice, it's shot well, the actors give fine performances, and I certainly don't feel like I've wasted my time, but it's just not nearly as memorable as "Prince of Thieves." Like you said, it's a classic. |

That'll be the Alan Rickman factor I may give it a watch eventually. Robin Hood is like The Three Musketeers. You can't help but watch each new incarnation even though yoiu already know the story inside and out |

Guy Ritchie has a new King Arthur movie coming out soon, and I'm excited to see what he's done with it; even though I've heard countless Arthurian tales over and over again. |

I don't know what to think about the new Arthur movie. I love Guy Ritchie but thought it a strange pick for his next movie (although he did do okay with Sherlock Holmes). It could be great or it could be an absolute flop. But I will give Guy the benefit of the doubt as I like the majority of his movies. And a new Arthurian movie is long overdue. |

So, I am in the mood for something disaster based, starring someone heroic. That can mean only one thing: San Andreas.
Big disaster? Check
Big hero? Check
Estranged family dynamic? Check
BIG CGI effects? Check
Will be the first time seeing it, so no spoilers please (although I expect entertaining things from the cast).

Good choice, Knox. I saw it and it does justice to the genre.
