I'll take this as an endorsement. The movie's been setting a lot of box office records, too. I must admit to being more than a little curious but as I often do, I'll probably wait for the DVD; it sounds like the theaters will be a little too crowded for my liking.

Agreed, and nicely said.

Was the WW movie better than 2016's Deadpool?

Can't really be sure of that. Both movies are fantastic in their own way.

I recently buckled down and watched Tetsuo: the Iron Man, which had been recommended to me several times. That was...an experience lol. I think I liked it. It was weirder than Eraserhead, anyways.

Looked it up on Wikipedia. "Weird" is an understatement.

Oh I saw that Rock Dog animated movie. Didn't like it at first but it ended up being pretty good, I think.

My Neighbor Totoro. I've never been big into Anime, but I've heard so many good things about Studio Ghibli, I wanted to give them a chance. Told a co-worker about it, and turns out she owns every single Studio Ghibli movie, so she's letting me borrow them. So far my favorite is My Neighbor Totoro, it was so cute! I've seen three Ghibli films now, and have four more that my co-worker loaned me that I hope to get to this weekend.

Baby Driver (2017)

Edgar Wright is back, and this time, he's turning the heist genre into a music fest unlike any other. Ansel Elgort (The Fault in Our Stars) is Baby, a young getaway driver who drives to the beat of his own soundtrack (which I HIGHLY recommend you buy after seeing this film). Working for Doc (Kevin Spacey), Baby is the best of the best. But yearning for a life away from crime, he comes across a waitress named Debora (Lily James) and instantly falls for her... which comes to affect him in more ways than one when Baby is lured into a doomed heist.

This movie is proof that Edgar is one of the most brilliant directors working today. Combining camerawork with sound design and brilliant timing, what this film ends up with is a fast-paced action film that is so original you swear this could end up as a big contender when awards season comes around. The actors are fantastic as well. As well as Ansel, Kevin and Lily, there's also great performances from Jamie Foxx, Jon Hamm, Eiza González and Jon Bernthal (in a small role despite his big credits in the trailers and posters). Another thing to note is that while there are some really funny moments ("Oh, you mean Jason." "NO!!"), this isn't a comedy. It's more of an action drama as it features some quite intense moments.

In summary: This is one toe-tapping heist film you'll enjoy. Highly recommended (for BOTH the movie AND the soundtrack).

Up next: Either Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk or DreamWorks' Captain Underpants (because we Aussies LOVE to receive films 6 months after the US has them! )
