In my seat for Train Dreams. 20 people for a Sunday night screening of a movie that’s been out for 2 weeks (or 3?) and is also on Netflix… fairly impressive, I think?

Watched AFTER THE HUNT last week and hated it. It’s one of those movies where no one displays anything approaching normal human behavior, characters only motivated by making the screenwriter’s point at all times. Almost everyone miscast. (Michael Stahlberg still rocks though.)

I did not enjoy this movie, save for: the level 1 fight (which was clever), some of the animation (especially towards the climax), and the mid-credits scene, which I laughed at more than THE NAKED GUN.
